IMPORTANT!

For professional reasons, I won't be able to work on my mods anymore. I was hoping that after v1.0, Mojang would simplify the update process for modders or at least stop updating the game every two weeks, but it's not the case.
Here are the sources for those who would like to update themselves:
Kaevator SuperSlopes Sources 1.2.3
Kaevator Timber Frames Sources 1.2.3
Kaevator Wallpaper Sources 1.2.3
Kaevator Hedges & Shears Sources Beta 1.7.3

Since the last version, SuperSlopes mod lighting doesn't match the game one.
You can use these sources for anything, you can also mix them to make a mod package.

I won't be able to answer to my message anymore (that won't change a lot!)
Cheers!

Description:

This mod will allow you to craft a new item: the wallpaper, and place it on your walls as a decorative texture.
This way, you can have two different faces of a block decorated with two different texture and customize the bedrooms of your house without having to add new blocks.
It is recommended to combine this mod with Timber Framing for door and windows frames.

Recipe:

Spoiler

First, create wallpapers thanks to the following recipe:



You can now place your wallpaper on a wall:



It is possible to change the texture by right-clicking on the wallpaper while having another wallpaper in your hand.



When you will place another wallpaper close to an existing one, it will automatically take the same texture.



You can still change a texture by right-clicking it anytime you want.



If you have some dye, you can then color a texture by right-clicking it with dye equipped.



If you want to remove a wallpaper, you need to have the item in your hand or an axe.
It is possible to combine the wallpaper with any item on the wall: Torch, Painting...

downloading, the pics look good

Soon, Minecraft will be modified reality! I will download this soon, when my castle is done. Nice job.

Can you put wallpaper on your slopes from your super slopes mod? It would make even more possibilities.

[GentlemanMudkip]

This will be very handy for decorations around my house, thanks for that mod

I have a lot of requests to mix my mods together, but I like them to be independent... I'm afraid that making a big mod with all the possibilities would take too much time, generate many bugs and interest only a few people.

But... we never know!

This mod looks awesome and i would love to use it, but i have to use optime+optfog because i have a older pc, but i will keep watching this thread in case someone comes up with a patch or something to make it compatible.

Keep up the great work on these awesome mods.

[anikan201]

After a quick try i see it is not possible to add extra textures will this at any time become possible? or do we just have to replace the ones that are already in?

Anyways very very nice mod i really like it

You can add extra textures but it's not "very simple":
- You have to extract the file "wallpapers.png" from the zip -> /kaevator folder.
- You can then add/modify the textures as you wish: textures will be read from upper-left vertically.
- Place the file back in the zip.
- To tell that you changed the number of textures, open the "mod_Wallpaper.props" file in the .minecraft folder and edit the "nb_motives" value (default is 24).
- You can add up to 128 different textures.
- Default textures are 32*32, If you want to change this, just replace the file with one with different definition, it should be working as well.

If you created a nice wallpaper file, feel free to share it here, I will certainly add a section to download the different ones.

Doh hadn't even noticed it had created a file else i would have seen that. Anyways thanks for the explanation and thanks again for this awesome mod it really breathes more life into structures.

I've been looking for something like this for awhile. Is there a blankish wallpaper that can be dyed (to look like the wall was just painted)?.

[xDivineInsanityx]

Neat idea! I didn't get it at first, but it would make for some nice decorations.

[wadcross]

Sh*t, This is an awesome mod! Great job!

[KIN0025]

bump.

[Isaac_x]

I made a video on this incase anybody wants to see it in action.

[deadlytown]

i can remember that you said. ''i have no time to update it' if you could make this mod you could also update the other ones.

but other than that great work.

hum, I could have said that for a lot of different reasons.. but it basically means "I'm working on another mod and I don't have time yet for this one".
I don't get salary to make mods so if I'm not having fun updating a mod, I don't!
And I usually create/update a mod when I'm using it in the game.

Anyway, I don't know which mod you are referring to but I'm currently working on adding wool slopes to the slopes mod so I don't completely forget my other mods.

Sorry to come back on this, but I said a wrong thing before: you can add up to 256 different textures (not 64). The mod has currently 24, so there is plenty of room for improvement!
