Current Version: 0.5.4

Since this mod has stopped being run by me, a continuation project by Nirahiel can be found here

I CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE UPDATING THIS MOD, THEREFORE, I HAVE RELEASED THE SOURCE CODE FOR ANYONE WANTING TO UPDATE THIS. I APOLOGISE DEARLY, BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR MOTIVATION ANY MORE. CLICK HERE FOR THE POST.

Please be sure to install ModLoader BEFORE Steamcraft. Otherwise, a few items will not work correctly.

After installing this mod, you should start a new world. Otherwise the ores will not generate.

If you have any questions about the mod, please consult the Steamcraft Wiki before posting in this thread. If you don't find your answer there, then ask here

If the mod does not work, please do not just post saying: "Why did it crash?" or "I got a black screen!". If you have a problem with the mod, please find your ModLoader.txt in your .minecraft folder and post the contents of it, preferably in spoiler tags. I'm not psychic. A lot of things can cause a crash, and that will tell me which one it is.

If you want to support me in this mod, please donate. Anyone who donates will have their name put in the "thanks" section at the bottom of the post:


Alternatively, if you don't have any money to donate, just scroll down and click the + at the bottom of this post!

So what is Steamcraft?
Steamcraft is a complete overhaul of Minecraft. It adds roughly 40 new blocks, and about 70 new items. It also changes the way some items are crafted, notably Redstone, which is completely replaced. It does this to attempt to make Minecraft fit in with a steam punk style. A lot of the new content focusses on making the game feel more like it is set in the late 1800's.

Here are the images included in the "Cheat Sheets" folder of the v0.5 download. I'm posting them here for simplicity's sake.

Item Crafting


Tool Crafting


Smelting


Furnace Fuels

Also, here are some videos by KaiTheOriginalNinja about this mod! They cover how to use most of the items in reasonable detail (the only bit that is slightly incorrect is the Tesla Coil)

Open the spoiler tag to view them.

There's also a video of an interview with me about this mod! The video does not feature my actual voice, since I didn't have access to a microphone, but that doesn't really matter.

This video heavily features Glimmar's Steampunk Texture Pack made by Glimmar, and adapted for Steamcraft. Check it out!

AWESOME! ill download

[Proloe]

Posted up a list of currently planned features. If anyone has any more suggestions, feel free to suggest them.

Keep in mind that depending on certain things, these features may or may not come to light.

How does the steam work in this mod, is there actual steam from boiling water? or is it just a name for your new machines?

Well, it's a name to reference Steam Punk. It doesn't really act any different as of yet, it's really just a name.

[Duggabboo]

I'm sorry but where does the SteamPunk come in :/

[Proloe]

It doesn't much yet. This is an unfinished mod. At the moment it's limited to steam furnaces, goggles and some steam-powered tools. I plan to add a lot more.

Green is my favorite color.

i have one (IMHO important) advice:
talk with glimmar. he’s the one who has the cool steampunk texturepack up and runningand could both have good ideas for you mod and advertise for it (by mentioning it in his texturepack’s thread or even posting screeies with it enabled)

I saw his texture pack. I was thinking I might make a modification of it later in production to allow for the new stuff I added, as a bonus.

[nekronuke]

only include the modded files, you have the whole damn jar in there

nekronuke said:

All bar one file, and for a very good reason:

I stupidly forgot to log which files I modded. I modded a lot of files, and when I went to re-obfuscate, it crashed upon loading the world. I fixed this by just re-obfuscating everything. Since this is a very unfinished mod, I'm going to leave it like this for now. Later in production I'll start trimming it, although it looks like that "later" is going to be very soon, considering I'll have to do a certain amount of trimming to make it 1.4_01 compatible.

Speaking of which, by the way, it turns out this is NOT compatible with 1.4_01, due to an error on my part. I'll look into making it compatible tomorrow.

okay, so i downgraded my Minecraft just so i could try out your mod. I played around with it for a few hours, and it really is amazing. Although, one problem. Some of the recipes. . such as the goggles or anything else that has brick in it don't work. so, i can't make that steam engine. . or. . whatever it is. it goes like this

[Xukkorz]

Are you looking into making a modloader compatible version? You'll probably get more downloads that way, great work so far though it looks really nice.

That's because they aren't bricks, but Brass Ingots. If you look on the recipe sheet, you can see how to make them.

I probably will later in production.

EDIT: I've decided you can probably all live with it not being 1.4_01 compatible for now. Instead I'll exert my efforts preparing for the 1.5 release, so that I can have it compatible for that as quickly as possible.

[Proloe]

Hey guys, a bit of a request here. I cut down the obfuscation to only the files I edited in preparation for the upgrade to 1.5, and thought I might as well make it 1.4_01 compatible, so I copied over all the edited .java files to a newly decompiled 1.4_01 minecraft.jar. On recompiling, it all worked swimmingly. On re-obfuscating, it black screens. I have no idea why this would happen, especially since it works on the test. Anyone know what's up?

EDIT: Fixed it by going through all of my edited code. Took a while, but it should work now. Uploading a version of the 1.4 mod with fewer files and the 1.4_01 mod now. If you encounter any problem with these (such as some features not working, etc) don't hesitate to inform me, and I'll look into it.

[Whirlpoolwas]

The only thing in this mod that has anything to do with Steam Power or the Age of Industrialization are the Electric lamps.

[wasabi17]

Looks good!
As a supporter (and researcher) or steamboats and their history, and of steam transportation in general, i hope this mod introduces steamboats and other forms of steam transportation using boilers (and for steamboats paddlewheels).
