Latest Changes

• Updated to Minecraft 1.2.5
  
• Added sound effects
  
• Removed Tornado spell.

I'm looking for at least one modder with SMP modding experience to help out with WizardCraft. Read the thread linked below if your interested.

[REQ] SMP MODDER REQUIRED TO HELP OUT WITH WIZARDCRAFT

Description

WizardCraft adds RPG style magic to minecraft. It gives you a Mana bar and allows you to craft and enchant Elemental Staffs that use your mana to cast spells with varying effects.

WizardCraft is a reinvention of the Minecraft Magic Mod. Officially it is Minecraft Magic Version 3, however, due to the extensive changes to the code and the design of the mod I decided that a new name would be used so that WizardCraft could start again from version 1.

For more information Visit my Wiki there you will find all the latest information, downloads and recipes for WizardCraft, Minecraft Magic and any other mods I'm working on.

Subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

WizardCraft also adds an Enchanting Table which MUST be crafted before you can create any Elemental Staffs.

The Staffs are made by combining an empty Staff with an Elemental Orb using an Enchanting Table.

Each upgrade of the each Staff adds a new spell. The Spells are split into four levels.

• Basic
  
• Advanced
  
• Master
  
• Epic

A complete list of spells can be found Here

Controls

By Default the following keys are used for WizardCraft:

• v: Opens the Spell Selection Screen while holding a Staff
  
• C: Scrolls through the available spells while holding a Staff
  
• R: Activates or Deactivates Magic Armor abilities while equiped.

Key bindings can be changed in the magic.properties file. see Configuration Wiki.

Thanks

Thank you to Tawniey for the awesome Staff sprites! Check out her DeviantArt.

Thank you to Zargonnas for the brilliant armor sprites and textures!

Texture Packs

WizardCraft looks best with a 32x texture pack. I recommend the Faithful texture pack.

Back Story

"A short time ago in a world on a server somewhere...

A "wise" young wizard sat in a great floating tower at the center of a great city. He had spent many years researching the materials that he had discovered in his world and was on the brink of discovering the secrets of Redstone.

Unfortunately, for him at least, the "wise" wizard was rather clumsy and at that precise moment he spilt his collection of Redstone all over his furnace.

With a termendous bang blue sparks showered the wizard, "Bugger!" he exclaimed as he frantically tried to put out the small fires that were starting all over his tower.

In his haste he nearly missed the marvelous new material he had accidently created. He studied the strange blue dust carefully and began combining the dust with common elements found in his world.

Unfortunately his recipe book was lost during a great fire that destroyed the city." - Extract from the Yogronomicon

Future Updates

WizardCraft will be getting new updates in the future. The currently planned updates are:

• Master Level Spells
  
• Epic Level Spells
  
• Some new Mobs (Summonable mobs that also spawn in the wild)
  
• Enchantable Weapons and tools
  
• Floo Powder! (To celebrate the finale of Harry Potter)

This looks great, I'll try it out!

EDIT - Whoa, I'm First.

[LackeDragon]

Not bad, seems interresting

[Omnomnom24]

I remember you. Downloading.

[Tapdragairsoft]

Woah, from those videos this looks epic!

[GnomeWorks]

Joyous day!

Hopefully there's no conflicts...

Edit: Well, crap. Hrm. Guess I'll need to dive into the code and figure out how to merge your mod with the others I've got.

Yea sorry I'm quite new to this modding malarky and haven't tested this alongside any others.

I looked at using ModLoader but I needed to make changes to the Entity Classes to make them drop MP.

[Empoliam]

Wow, this is... Unique.
Looks good though.

No big! I know a thing or two about Java, so I'm down with delving into the code to make something like with compatible with other mods. Definitely worth it.

As a thought, perhaps you could also include a new block that can be mined for the MP? Then also include an options/properties file to toggle if MP blocks show up, and if MP drops from mobs?

I understand this is a WIP, so no pressure, just tossing that idea out there. It'd make it more compatible with other mods, at the very least.

Unrelated question, since I'm unfortunately unable to play around with it at the moment: what did you wind up doing with the earth wand?

[Empoliam]

just watched the vids.
Holy macaroni!
this is a mod well done!
I have to try this tomorrow!

In my original tests I made mp by cooking seeds with a furnace but I decided having mobs drop it was more RPG lol.

The earth wand now raises a column of three blocks where you use it, it moves the block you click as well as the two below it three blocks up.

Use full for building walls quickly but dangerous if you use it on the block your standing on

It is, I suppose, but at the same time sometimes sacrificing feel for compatibility is acceptable.

Though cooking seeds to gain MP would also be rather nifty - gives another use for them, if you're already farming more than you can reasonably use.

Excellent, very similar to the earth wall option in your poll. Definitely appropriate, and useful.

I also didn't want to make it too easy, eventually I'm going to add more powerful wands and I don't want to make it too easy to use them.

Id suggest you to start working on Modloader v5 support before you add more content to your mod. Take your time learning everything about it, no pressure. Your ideas are cool and im interested on using your mod but when i see that it doesnt support modloader i lose the interest because i use several mods all of them using modloader support and one of them might conflict with your mod.

Hope you got my point.

As a new guy to modding community you brought up a cool new idea and i like it.
This is for you

Cheers

thanks for your input, for simplicities sake I think I will return to the cooking seeds to make mp idea. I've also been toying with the idea of combining mp and various raw materials to make magic orbs then combining the orbs with the sticks to make wands.

That makes the wands harder to make and also means in future I can combine orbs together to make other orbs i.e. wind and water makes ice.

While at work, I was thinking about this, and came up with what may be a better solution.

Redstone.

One redstone dust turns into, say, four mp. That way those of us who aren't interested in building ridiculous redstone-based contraptions actually have a use for the stuff.

That'd be a neat idea...

...and ties in nicely with this idea, as you mentioned.

[GnomeWorks]

I'm working on modifying this for ModLoader v5 support.

@TheMorgeh, if you'd like, I can send you a PM containing the modified files, assuming I actually get it working. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to make mobs drop the magic powder without directly modifying a core MC class (which I'm trying to avoid for maximum mod compatibility), so I'm throwing in a recipe or two to make the powder using other materials (redstone dust for now, and I'll try to figure out how to handle seeds in a furnace yielding powder as well).

Fire wand projectile is a little buggy but I'm working on that.

It most definitely is.

Doing a test-run of this mod in a clear jar, I noticed this problem, and another one that I presume is related to it.

In the course of burning an extensive forest down to the ground with the fire wand ('cause why not, right?), it started getting dark, and I noticed a large number of patches of light with no reasonable source scattered throughout the area. They were all over the place. I wasn't sure if they were left over from burning trees, or if they were centered on spots I'd shot the wand - I tried to test it, but was unable to figure out the cause.

Curious, I placed a torch in a spot that wasn't lit by the light patches, and... it didn't do anything. No change in local light at all. This concerned me, so I left the general area and went into an unlit cave, and placed a torch. Still nothing. Broke some blocks around the torches to try to force an update, and still nothing.

Not sure what's causing this issue.

[kilroysan]

first i wanna say brilliant, absolutely genius idea. secondly, props for learning to code java, i would if i thought i was any good with programming (believe me i have tried my face off). thirdly, is this still being worked on or am i going to need to try harder to learn to code (on that note if you have any educational suggestions i would be willing to help). and lastly where can i find the latest version.

Not sure about the lighting issue I haven't changed any of the code around spawning fire etc or lighting mechanics.
