Who are you and what have you done with iguana_man?!
I'm Parker8283! I love Minecraft, and have been toying with modding since Beta 1.8.1. I haven't published anything USEFUL yet, but I do know how to mod. With the 1.7 release, I've been assisting modders with the 1.7 update by taking away the compiler errors and some major bugs, then giving them back their mod and letting them resume their work. When I approached iguana_man to do the same, he told me that he didn't want to work on his mods at the moment, so I had his permission to release my own version until he comes back (and that's a big if). So here we are!
Is iguana_man going to update his mods HIMSELF?
From what he's told me, he won't be back anytime soon. Everyone has a life that they have to tend to, and sometimes it separates them from modding for a long period of time. This could be the case. In all honesty, I have no idea. He'll come back if he wants and when he can.
Do you have iguana_man's permission to do this?
Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this. If you check his original thread, he has a link to mine (if you're seeing this in the first day or so of this topic, it may not be there yet; give him time.)
From iguana_man's original thread:
New weight restriction and encumbrance mechanic
Reduce all block/item stack sizes
Terrain affects movement speed
Configurable torch recipe
Stun effect on hit
Armour weight
Harder blocks
Now I know adding weight and reducing the items you can carry is not a popular idea. The reason behind it is not a desire for realism, but to encourage the use of minecarts. You go mining and can bring back tons of materials, so currently there is no need for them.
Coal is abundant and after a while you have stacks upon stacks and can just ignore it. You can make and carry so many torches you can spam them everywhere. I like them to be a precious resource, not something you use to stop mobs from spawning.
I've also added movement restrictions, for when you walk on certain blocks or when wearing heavy armour. Also getting hit stuns you for a short period. These effects also apply to mobs to keep things fair.
If you like the survival aspect of minecraft give the mod a try, you might like it.
This mod is designed for me and represents my personal preferences. That said, I am happy to hear your ideas and comments. If I use an idea you suggest, I will credit you.

DELETE 1.6.X CONFIG IF IT EXISTS
If you find a bug or crash, click on the Source Code link, Click on Issues on the right side of the screen, and create a new issue.
I am working with progwml6 on Hunger Overhaul, the guys making TCon will work on the tweaks for it, and SO SORRY about the broken download links. It has been fixed. It's a temporary hosting place, and got IP addresses mixed up.
Thank you thank you so much for this.Can I ask do you plan to ad your own tweaks or just maintain the ones iguana man already had? I would like an option to reduce the amount of planks and sticks given from logs.Thanks again, trying it out now.
Got a crash and it named Iguana Tweaks in the log so I posted the log on the Github, thought I would leave a post to let you know. Keep up the good work!
I want to see what the community wants added if anything at all.
Theres no need to tell me. I get notifications on ALL issues and PRs made to my repo. Thanks though.
Alrighty, thought it would be a safe bet to leave a post just in case lol. Thanks for the reply on the issue, gonna fix it now and in terms of adding anything, nothing that I can think of. Thanks again.
Also, I hope to have a stable build by June 1st, so help me try and break the mod so that everything can be fixed before I call this stable and release it as version 2A!
Configurable Gamma Levels would rock! Maybe make it so that you can configure both above and below ground defaults?
Also, a couple of things I think would be cool:
1. Config option to change stack sizes of specific items. Basically the stack size option we currently have would stay, but you can change an item's stack size if you feel it's too small or big
2. A way to change the hardness of specific blocks. Idea plays like the one above.
Sorry should've clarified the above error is Beta 3 I updated this morning.
Ya similar issue with Beta 3 as well, I've reported it on the github and Parker is taking a look into it. I'll let him know about that, by the way please post the crashes, in paste bin if possible, on the github and only if the topic isn't already being investigated. Thanks.

It looks like a MultiMC problem. Try with the official launcher. Also, that's not the full crash log.

Kill two stones with one bird whenever possible

Shortly after creating a new world this occurs, in Beta2 is was occuring immediately on loading the world (new or existing).
Posting here because I have enough accounts and would rather not have github as well.
Beta 3 should fix that now, currently testing with it and breaking it to make sure.

GitHub is my Issues tracker. If you don't like it, don't post issues. It's easier to manage than posting here.
