RuneCraftory Collection for MC 1.2.5

Spoiler

GuiCraftory puts various information on your in game Minecraft display. What will be displayed is determined by which other mods you have installed.

With SeasonCraftory installed, pressing J will bring up the Season Settings screen if you wish to change seasons in game. Click a button to make a selection and press ESC to exit.

Spoiler

FarmCraftory adds 18 new seeds and crops into Minecraft. Some crops are single-harvest and yield only only one fruit or vegetable after being destroyed. Other crops are multi-harvest and have the potential to revert back to a previous growth stage to yield another fruit or vegetable. Seeds can be found in grass in specific biomes, but if SeasonCraftory is installed, crops are divided by seasons instead.

• Pink Turnip - Single Harvest; found in Plains and Shroom biomes (or during Spring)
  
• Cabbage - Single Harvest; found in Plains and Shroom biomes (or during Spring)
  
• Onion - Single Harvest; found in Plains and Shroom biomes (or during Spring)
  
• Strawberry - Multi Harvest; found in Plains and Shroom biomes (or during Spring)
  
• Cucumber - Multi Harvest; found in Forest and Desert biomes (or during Summer)
  
• Tomato - Multi Harvest; found in Forest and Desert biomes (or during Summer)
  
• Corn - Multi Harvest; found in Forest and Desert biomes (or during Summer)
  
• Eggplant - Multi Harvest; found in Forest and Desert biomes (or during Summer)
  
• Pineapple - Multi Harvest; found in Forest and Desert biomes (or during Summer)
  
• Green Pepper - Multi Harvest; found in Swampland and Hill biomes (or during Autumn)
  
• Carrot - Single Harvest; found in Swampland and Hill biomes (or during Autumn)
  
• Yam - Multi Harvest; found in Swampland and Hill biomes (or during Autumn)
  
• Potato - Single Harvest; found in Swampland and Hill biomes (or during Autumn)
  
• Spinach - Single Harvest; found in Swampland and Hill biomes (or during Autumn)
  
• Turnip - Single Harvest; found in Taiga biomes (or during Winter)
  
• Leek - Single Harvest; found in Taiga biomes (or during Winter)
  
• Daikon Radish - Single Harvest; found in Taiga biomes (or during Winter)
  
• White Spinach - Single Harvest; found in Taiga biomes (or during Winter)

These seeds can only be found in tallgrass by crafting new tool called a Sickle and using it to cut down tall grass. Sickles can be made from Wood, Stone, Iron, Diamond, or Gold. Each type of sickle has the same drop rate, but higher grade sickles have more durability.

Spoiler

Normal farming in Minecraft requires a nearby water block to supply watering to farmland or else the farmland remains dry. You can optionally add a more challenging route to growing crops by keeping farmland watered manually by using another tool called a watercan. To fill the watering can, use the empty version of the item on a water source block. To use the watering can, use a filled can directly on the dry farmland or on the crop on top (it will water the farmland beneath it). After a set amount of uses, the watercan will become empty and will need refilling. There are two types of watercans available: Wood and Iron. A wood watercan will water one square at a time, but an iron watercan will water a 3x3 square area with just one click.

Spoiler

In junction to the watering can item, there is also a slight change to fundamental mechanics of farming. Every Minecraft morning will begin with a "drying" period which lasts an hour (0:00 to 1:00 or 6:00 A.M. to 7:00 A.M if you are using the GUI). Any watered farmland that is not near a water source block will change from wet to dry during this period.

If using this new mechanic, your crops will need to be watered on a daily basis for them to grow and produce healthy and mature fruit and vegetables. If you forget to water, your crops will eventually turn brown and wilted, and they will stop growing. To cure the wilted status, just water the crop and it will return to its healthy state. If you break a wilted plant, it will give you a withered grass item. This withered grass item is similar to bonemeal as it can be used directly on crops to potentially grow them by one growth stage at a time. TIP: You may want to purposely allow some of your crops to wilt so you can get withered grass to use on your other crops.

Spoiler

A third farming tool in your new arsenal is a magnifying glass. This item is used to inspect crops to get details about that specific crop. Details shown are:

• Name of the crop
  
• Current growth stage
  
• Level of the crop* (More info below)
  
• Season type
  
• Harvest type (single or multi)

Spoiler

A major element included in this mod is a rewarding level and experience system. Each time you harvest a fully grown crop, you will gain a Farming experience orb. These orbs add experience to your Farming level and once you get enough exp, your level will go up by one. There are a total of 50 levels to gain in Farming. Having a specific level in Farming is required to get higher level seedbags from harvesting crops.

• Farming Lv. 1 - 9: Level 1 Seedbags
  
• Farming Lv. 10 - 19: Level 2 Seedbags
  
• Farming Lv. 20 - 29: Level 3 Seedbags
  
• Farming Lv. 30 - 39: Level 4 Seedbags
  
• Farming Lv. 40+: Level 5 Seedbags

All seedbags have a level between 1 and 5. In turn, all crops also have a level between 1 and 5.

All fish have a tendency to avoid and move away from the player if the fish is not tamed. Un-tamed fish will also despawn if the player moves far enough away but tamed fish will not. To tame a fish, it must be caught with a special fishing rod that has either bait or a lure attached. To craft these special rods, you will first need bait or lures.



Bait worms can be found randomly by tilling farmland with a hoe. The type of hoe determines the type of bait worm you will get. Better quality hoe = better quality bait worms. Having a higher quality of bait increases the rate fish are attracted to your bobber. Baitworms can only be used to catch Freshwater and River type fish. Baitworms stack up to 64.

• Poor Baitworm (Black) - Found with Wooden Hoe.
  
• Common Baitworm (Green) - Found with Stone Hoe.
  
• Good Baitworm (Blue) - Found with Iron Hoe.
  
• Great Baitworm (Purple) - Found with Diamond Hoe.
  
• Super Baitworm (Orange) - Found with Golden Hoe.

Lures can be crafted as well. Lures can only be used to catch Ocean and Swamp type fish. Lures do not stack.

• Minnow Lure - Put one stick, one red dye, and one bonemeal in crafting menu.
  
• Crank Lure - Put one stick, one yellow dye, and one orange dye in crafting menu.
  
• Spoon Lure - Put one iron ingot, one green dye, and one lime dye in crafting menu.
  
• Jig Lure - Put one iron ingot, one orange dye, and one cocoa beans in crafting menu.

A special set of lures also exist and cannot be crafted. Instead, they are dropped from mobs and will retain some characteristics from the original mob. There is a 10% chance one of these lures will drop from the mob. When you attach one of these lures to a rod, and successfully catch a fish, you will also get an additional item.

Spoiler

• Creeper Lure - Extra item: Gunpowder; Explodes upon contact with ground
  
• Ender Lure - Extra item: Ender pearl; Teleports player upon contact with ground
  
• Cave Spider Lure - Extra item: Spider eye; Poisons nearby mobs (Player is immune)
  
• Blaze Lure - Extra item: Blaze rod; Lights block on fire on contact
  
• Skeleton Lure - Extra item: Bone
  
• Zombie Lure - Extra item: Rotten flesh
  
• Spider Lure - Extra Item: String
  
• Slime Lure - Extra item: Slime ball
  
• Magma Lure - Extra item: Magma cream
  
• Zombie Pig Lure - Extra item: Gold nugget
  
• Pig Lure - Extra item: Raw pork
  
• Sheep Lure - Extra item: Wool
  
• Cow Lure - Extra item: Raw beef
  
• Chicken Lure - Extra item: Raw Chicken
  
• Squid Lure - Extra item: Ink sac
  
• Mooshroom Lure - Extra item: Red Mushroom

To attach bait or lure to a rod, you will need to make the Tacklebox block.



After crafting the Tacklebox, place a regular fishing rod into the first slot, and your bait or lure into the second. Press equip to get a new Bait/Lure rod. Remember, bait stacks up to 64, and lures don't stack at all.

Spoiler

You can also add bait to an existing Bait rod as long as they are the same type.

Spoiler

You are now ready to start fishing! Equip one of the new rods and find some fish mobs. (Remember: Bait Rods can only catch Freshwater & River fish and Lure Rods can only catch Ocean & Swamp fish.)



To cast out the bobber, press the left mouse button (Attack), and press the right mouse button (Use Item) to reel the bobber back in. Nearby fish will eventually become attracted to the bobber. After a set amount of time, the bobber will hook onto the fish. (Remember: Better bait/lure = The faster fish will hook on)



Fish will struggle if they are hooked and will pull back away from you. On the side, you will see a indicator for the current tension of your line. Tension only rises when you reel in (right click). If you reach max tension (red), the line will break and you'll have to start over again. Bait Rods will be subtracted by one and Lure Rods will take damage.



Once you pull the fish close enough and the fish is fatigued, you will successfully catch the fish! You will also get an experience orb towards your fishing level. Every 10 levels gives you less line tension, and the fish will become fatigued faster which means faster catching.



You now have a tamed fish which you can place back into your own pool, pond, aquarium, ect. Right click on a block that is underneath water to place down your new fish.




To pick your fish back up, you will need to craft a fish net. Right click with the fish net to pick it up. (Try as you like, you can't pick up untamed fish.)



Tamed fish are breedable. Successfully catch two fish of the same kind and use the fish flakes item on the both of them.



You now have an adorable baby fish



If you prefer to show off your fish in a different way, you can craft a fish painting.

Spoiler

FruitCraftory adds six fruit trees that start out as small saplings and eventually grow into trees with regrowable fruit on them. The six fruit tree types are as follows:

• Orange
  
• Grape
  
• Pear
  
• Peach
  
• Banana
  
• Cherry

To find these saplings, use bonemeal on grass blocks. There is a random chance one of these saplings will appear on the grass. You can also purchase them from the Harvest Chest (see ChefCraftory). After a set amount of time, the fruit sapling will grow into a fruit tree with un-ripe (green) fruit on it. These un-ripe fruit will then ripen over time (turn into the proper color of the fruit) and can now be harvested/broken off the tree. Each tree will be able regrow its fruit as long as no part of it destroyed in any way. New fruit always start out as un-ripe and will not drop the fruit item if harvested early.

Getting an unexplainable crash or bug? Here's a couple of things you can do.

Check your installation method.

• Is ModLoader installed properly? (Files go into minecraft.jar & must be installed FIRST)
  
• Do you have the correct version of ModLoader? (Check the REQUIREMENTS section)
  
• Is Forge installed properly? (Files go into minecraft.jar & must be installed SECOND)
  
• Do you have the correct version of Forge? (Check the REQUIREMENTS section)
  
• Did you delete META-INF?
  
• Did you install the mods into the minecraft.jar? (They do NOT go into the /mods/ folder)

Still crashing? Post an error log so we can see and try to help you. Don't know how to get an error log? Visit http://www.minecraft...ing-error-logs/ and learn how. I do ask you to please use spoiler tags to prevent elongated posts. If you don't post an error log, I can't help you fix the problem.

• Hard Mode toggle (Default: false)
  
• Water source blocks moisten nearby farmland (Default: true)

ChefCraftory

• Block ID for Kitchen Counter (Default: 167)
  
• Block ID for Kitchen Oven (Default: 168)

You can also transfer your Farming, Cooking, and Fishing stats from an old world to a new world. Go to your .minecraft/saves folder and find the named folder for your old world. In that folder will be files named "FarmInfo.dat", "CookInfo.dat", and "FishInfo.dat". Copy and Paste those files into your new world save folder and load Minecraft as normal. Your old Farm/Cook/Fish levels should now be in your new world. (Note: "SeasonInfo.dat" is your current saved season & day. This is also transferable between worlds.)

These mods are a culmination of many months of coding, sprite making, and testing done solely by Me, ComicRetrolution. If you would like to give your support, you can send a donation of any amount via PayPal.

If you can't donate, but still want to give your support, a way you can do this is to turn off any adblocker while watching my Youtube videos. This provides me with revenue from them and all revenue generated, either from donations, or through Youtube is put directly back into the mods.

Lulz amazing fishie texture. *gimme gimme*

[MineOfDuty]

wow this mod looks amazing

[Idonna]

I would certainly get this mod. You know.. if I remembered to water things.. ;-;

[Bramskyyy]

I like this very much! +1 for you!

[TMPotter]

Looks awesome downloading now!!!

[Kattalassien]

Wow... This is an example of an excellent first mod. Amazing textures, doesn't add random ores, and fits in well with the game. 10/10

-Kat

Edit: Wow you really took this far! Keep up the good work!

[durza400]

This is indeed a wonderful copy of Rune Factory so far. I can see you adding all the weapons, armor, upgrading of those things, new drops (so that you can collect those elemental pieces for weapons) as well as the medicine and cooking portions, if you wanted.

By the way, what texture pack are you using?

Why thank you. The texture pack is Dokucraft, The Saga Continues 32x Light version.

Very nice mod, Can you cook the fishies? I'd install the runecraftory but i'm pretty sure it'll conflict with Pam's Harvest Craft

Yes, you can cook them.

As for compatibility, yes I'm afraid Rune Craftory will conflict with other farming mods since Block Tallgrass is edited to drop new seeds.

That's too bad But i now have a use for more fishing

[Pongozila]

That looks fantastic... too bad i'm on 1.9pre... =( id revert to 1.8.1 but since I have little free time, by the time I can play again... notch will have already updated to official... but i'll check it out... sound like a perfect farm upgrade! THANKS!

[luztospooge]

Wow, nice mod. I'll give a report on how it is after I download it.

[malfunctionMC]

love minecraft, love harvest moon, what could possibly go wrong downloading now!

[NeonJ]

I would download this mod, but does it support 16x16 textures? D:

[BPGasoline]

Just a suggestion, but you should make it compatible with ItemSpriteApi or something similar that use unlimited item sprites so that I (and probably countless other people) won't have to erase some other mods just to fit this one in. Again, just a suggestion, since I don't know the difficulty of doing this.

[ComicRetrolution]

NeonJ, on 23 September 2011 - 06:53 PM, said:

Yes, the sprite textures will appear in 16x texture packs but at a reduced quality since the original textures are 32x. But everything functions the same way unless there is an issue I'm not aware of yet.

[ShootToMaim]

I LOVE YOU! (MAN LOVE)

[Hoodwink]

I really like the look of this, but it's a shame the 'crop irrigation' via nearby water would no longer work if this mod is installed. I like to construct Strongholds, build railroad & irrigation systems and mine for resources as much as I like farming, and with the size of the fields I envision (what with all the new crop types) I'd be watering all day long.

Still, a remarkable mod!
