FAQ

Quote

Q: Where are the crafting recipes for Evil Minecraft?
A: You can find the current list of crafting recipes on our wiki, http://wiki.evil-minecraft.net. It's not a complete list, but as a part of the community, it helps us if everyone can contribute to their finds!

Q: Why do I keep getting this error?
A: If you are getting errors, it's suggested you use MCError, record the output in a text file, and report the issue on http://bugs.evil-minecraft.net but before you post another bug, please search there and you might see if someone already has your solution!

Q: How do I install Evil Minecraft?
A: The easiest way for me to share this with anyone and everyone, is http://wiki.evil-min...ki/Installation

Q: Is Evil Minecraft compatible with any other mods?
A: Currently, Evil Minecraft is incompatible with every other mod that edits a base file that we have edited. The ones that people confirm work are Risugami's Recipe Book

Q: Why can't I launch with MagicLauncher?
A: For some reason, MagicLauncher isn't installing or launching Evil Minecraft correctly which brings us to the conclusion that MagicLauncher is incompatible.

Q: Is Evil Minecraft compatible with SMP? Or is there an SMP version?
A: The answer to both of these questions is 'No.' We aren't aiming for SMP compatibility for some time so we can focus on making the features as well made as possible. Eventually we'll have an SMP version out.

Q: I have a suggestion, where can I post it?
A: Currently, we have a subreddit that you can use for suggesting things for Evil Minecraft, but you can also suggest them via the bug tracker. You can post in the thread, but there's less of a chance of us seeing that!

Patches

There currently aren't many patches for Evil Minecraft and other mods, but the list of compatible mods with links to the patches will be below.

Features of v0.666!

Player Races

Spoiler:

With this update we've introduced races! Each have their own pros and cons, making a new gameplay experience with each different race. Halflings are especially different, being less than a block tall and able to fit into areas of that size(half-doors coming in the future).

New Main Menu

Spoiler:

In v0.666 of EvilMinecraft, we've introduced a new main menu! From this you can access any of the other menus, including the new race system menu by clicking on your character! The background block texture also changes when you reload the game.

New Block Breaking System

Spoiler:

We have introduced and entirely new block break system. When you go to break a block and stop part way through, it will actually save its damage state in intervals. If you have 'fancy block renders' on in the EvilMinecraft options, it will also make this have a three-dimensional effect(along with making things such as rails and ladders and grass have new rendering as well).

New Torch System

Spoiler:

Our new torch system incorporates a feature that Notch had planned to add, but ended up not adding in the end. Normal torches now have a limited lifespan, and must be lit using a lighter. All old normal torches are automatically converted to what are called 'lanterns'. Essentially, these are glowstone torches that don't run out. Along with the system itself, torches now emit light when you hold them(optional, as it hasn't been fully optimized yet).

Blood!

Spoiler:

Blood! Need I say more? When the player or a mob takes damage, they shoot off little blood particles, and blood stains the ground for a short time. If in water, the blood will dissipate to surrounding water blocks, slowly making the blood fade.

Display Cases

Spoiler:

As a small addition, we've added something people have been asking to be added to Minecraft for quite a while - display cases.

New Decorative 'Blocks'

Spoiler:

The mod features a wide arrangement of new 'decorative' blocks, such as walls and chairs.

Locked Chests

Spoiler:

Chests can now be locked using a key! This is quite useless at the moment, but in v0.7 it will help protect against various things such as halfling thieves that will try to steal from your precious chests.

Coin system

Spoiler:

A fairly 'traditional' coin system has been added. Mobs now drop coins of different values(copper, silver, gold, platinum). In v0.7, this will be used in a trading system!

Improved Jungles

Spoiler:

Having been working on jungles before Mojang, we take jungles very seriously! We made them feel more like true jungles, not a very 'safe' place. Dinosaurs, spiders, and more now lurk waiting to simply kill you.

Slime Blocks

Spoiler:

There are now two types of slime 'blocks'. One is the full block - it's bouncy. The second is a thin layer that slows you down, which is left wherever slimes go.

New Nether & End Content

Spoiler:

The Nether and The End have both seen a fair deal of new content - ranging from black holes and ender creepers to firestone ore and evil wizard zombie pigmen.

Ashes

Spoiler:

Fire now leaves ashes!

New Armor / Tools / Weapons

Spoiler:

There are various new kinds of tools and armor - ranging from ender dragon scale to bone. As well, there are now 'hammers' that are used for 'harvesting' walls and repairing a block's damage state.

Creative Mode 'Potion Container

Spoiler:

A fairly simple addition - a potion container menu for creative. Default key is 'P'.

New Snow Biome Content

Spoiler:

Snow biomes have received a fair deal of content in v0.666. Ranging from thin/cracked ice to icicles in trees to igloos to the 'zero' mob, there's a lot of new content to discover in the tundra/taiga biomes.

Graveyards

Spoiler:

Spawning throughout the world, graveyards now spawn. At night, these turn into very hostile places with many zombies spawning. Each of them has four pillars, on top of which rests a pot of chance. What do they hold? Is it good? Is it bad? That's for you to find out.

Mud & Quicksand!

Spoiler:

Mud and quicksand now spawn in various places in the world(also as shown, there are mummies). If you get caught in quicksand, it's very dangerous as you can easily suffocate unless you get out. Mud slows you down.

Food!

Spoiler:

Food is a very important thing. With the addition of new food drops(mutton, steaks, etc.), along with sandwiches, chocolate cake and more, you now have a much larger variety of things to satisfy your hunger meter!

Options for some features

Spoiler:

We've included an 'Evil Minecraft' section of the options, in which you can turn some of the features on and off. In the future, this will be expanded to be many, many of the features.

Along with various other new mobs, items, blocks, systems, worldgen features, and more!

Our next update, v0.7, will be released when it's ready. It will feature a plethora of new water content(improved swimming, deeper and more 'living' oceans, possibly a playable mermaid race even!), a new dimension, a new inventory system, and much more!

The Team:
Now, you may be asking the question 'Who's making this all?' to yourself? Below is our team member list. You may not see work from someone on our team for a while, due to the fact that many of them have their own things to deal with(this project's being worked on in everyone's free time!) and some things that people are working on take a while before being able to be shown. If you wish to join the team, e-mail miclee@minecrafter.com, we need many different skillsets!

Disclaimer:

Spoiler:

We will not be allowing this mod into modpacks, for one main reason: Compatibility. Our team's focus isn't to make things compatible with other mods, it is to create a total conversion. We would rather spend time developing new features than making it work with other mods. To add on to that, this means that you can't distribute it in any way, shape, or form without authorization. If you are making some kind of 'update', 'patch', or any kind of file that provides a modification to our mod(for instance, a patch making it compatible with another mod), please contact us first before you release such a thing. Modloader has been packed in with the mod, with permission from Risugami.
