WARNING! using my mods with an ID resolver *may* cause issues if the ID resolver changes the IDs of any of the items or blocks added in this mod, if it does then change the IDs in the properties to fix it.

BEFORE INSTALLING ANY OF MY MODS:
create a new text file in .minecraft/bin (you know, where the jar is!) called "QU_ModProperties.txt" (without the quotes)
and put this in the file:

this contains the properties for my mods!
if this file is not present it will just use the defaults.

if a mod is supplied in a .rar it modifies base classes and must be injected into the .jar, however if it comes in a zip file then you can just throw it in the .minecraft/mods folder without any hassle... assuming that you have the prerequisites installed.

right now that's out the way ...

right click them with flint and steel.

it does make the game quite a bit harder, but if you put doors throughout your mines you should be safe ...
but this was intended.

[snowyomen]

This is a very exciting mod! It could revolutionize the challenge of Minecraft without doing blah stuff like... 2x more monsters dealing 2x more damage.

Now, how do I make Lanterns?

[Omnomnom24]

I haven't used this yet, but it seems pretty awesome. I shall test nao!

Edit - Wheee downloaded that time.

[At0micGuru]

Cheers for the heads up.
Awesome mod couldn't be moar happier but i think they go out just a bit too quick i think , you should add maybe 5 mins to the timer

I deliberately didn't say so that you have to figure it out yourself.
there are hints in the mod data folder though.
(the hints make it relatively obvious in my opinion... though as I made the recipe...)

plus it wasn't my idea, either Notch came up with it, or he got it from the suggestions forum.

currently there is no timer. it grows like crops, in that each update tick it has a chance of going out.
some torches might not go out for weeks on end, while others might last little more than a minute.

[Stoup]

Well maybe you should have a sort of ascending scale for the burnout, IE every X ticks the chance of a burnout increases by Y percent.

Also, a few questions/suggestions.

How strong are the lantern blocks?

Do you intend to add non-solid lanterns that are essentially today's infinite torches? (for size reasons, having blocks everywhere as opposed to torches seems unwieldy to me

the increasing rate would require storing the 'chance'
but the data for that is taken by the position of it.

as for non solid lanterns ... I'll probably add an alternate class file for that.

[Korimito]

Have you considered increasing the burnout probability, but rather than having torches just flick off, lowering their light level by one every successful tick?

[Quarg]

Korimito said:

there is only one light intesity per ID so it would require 16 torch block IDs, not practical.

as for non solid lanterns. should have it done tomorrow hopefully, just need to fix a few glitches.

[Quarg]

new update,
fixed relighing sound.
added alternate non-solid lantern as requested.
reread instructions. they have changed.

[At0micGuru]

Can you PM me the recipe for the lanterns please cause I can't quite get it ..don't know where i'm going wrong
The unlit torches were easy to catch on to though

[Quarg]

At0micGuru said:

added links to the recipes at the top. but I would prefer if people still tried to find the recipes on their own anyway.

[Quarg]

my next mod release is almost ready (only really one feature to fix / implement), and here's the silly part: no new blocks or items for it.
and it's extend-able, bet no-one can guess what it is

[kla54]

what v of modloader do i need. cause i still get black screen after dragging the correct files into the .jar

[Piecejr]

"There is only one light intesity per ID so it would require 16 torch block IDs, not practical."
Couldnt you just use the Dmg like wood and cloth?

*Im no modder at all,dont know anything*

I was only explaining why it isn't practical

kla54 said:

I think it should work for both V4 and V5.
try using V4 if V5 doesn't work.

also I half lied ... I do have to add a new item because of data storage issues.

I think he was asking if you could make different torch light levels using the damage. Pretty much like Wool Colors, Wool dyes and log types. Each group has one unique ID, but different damage and therefore different properties.
