Hello, I have two mod requests, they are not to big I don't think. Anyway I would be grateful if someone could make them!

These are some mods I have, (If it matters)

• Optifine
  
• Biome Water
  
• Recipe Book
  
• TreeCapitator (I think this one is important)
  
• Contron's Npcs

Partially Old Biome Generation/Mountains in every biome:

Spoiler

I loved all the epic mountains and overhangs that were made with the old biome generation. I remember Gargemel, Glacier, 404 (Even though It wasn't a mountain seed, It still had cool generation, even past the falling sand to the cavern.)
I would like if someone made it so you could have mountains in every biome like before. Not just in mountain biomes. I love overhangs and stuff, but mountain biomes are hard to live in. :\

Better Tree Leaves Physics! Pheenixm Made this mod! (Click this to go to page!)

Spoiler

I have a mod called Treecapitator that makes all logs on a tree fall. But I have an idea that makes it so leaves slowly fall to the ground, like sand or gravel. They wouldn't go all at once, but they will fall slowly, a few at a time (Mostly for lag issues and stuff.) When these leaves hit the ground, most of them will disappear on contact with the ground, so when you chop down a million trees, there won't be a ton of leaves on the ground. Maybe to make it more realistic, there will be a leaf layer, like snow. This leaf layer will stay on the ground for a few seconds and will disappear if there are no logs around. You can also make these layers if you want by putting 3 leaves in a row.

Seems like a cool idea, but You wouldn't be able to count on me to do it... I'm a newbie to modding. So, yeah...

[TheBrainiac1mil]

Lol, well do you know anyone that can mod?

[TheBrainiac1mil]

Can anybody help? I really would like someone to help. I also added one new thing to the post, nothing big though. This is pretty much my request. People bump when they have new information but I can't really add that much more information. :\

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE (Say it like Futurama)
all nerdiness aside, I have managed to make it so that leaves now fall just like sand when the logs are removed. It is a slow process, and I need to somehow refine it (hopefully so that it works with ModLoader) but I can definitely do something with this. I'll be in touch.

Thank you Professor Farnsworth!
Anyway, That is awesome! I cannot wait to see it. I will wait for this to happen, hopefully it will be so awesome that....I will...umm *tries to think of something witty* ...play..it.

This is not the finished product. I have hit a few snags with leaf decay and the like, but I'm sure I'll be able to get past them. It may be a while though (a week or two at most) seeing as I have exams very soon. In the meantime though, here is what I have accomplished so far. Maybe I ought to make a mod page for this?

Edit For what its worth, I've got it so the leaves break while falling (they fall really slowly now) but the renderer can't seem to get it right. We'll see where this goes

Yeah I think you should make a page if you haven't! I will "try" To be the first to review it!

Hmm, what is it like? Flickering, dissapearing while falling but reappearing on the ground? Unless it is something like it shows all th caverns and stuff like an x-ray texture pack.

And no, that's not it. Everything works fine, but the leaves appear as a white box, with no texture (this only happens when I use a custom-entity for the leaves, rather than just EntityFallingSand) If you know anyone who knows anything...

On the biome thing I definitely agree. I miss the epic overhangs but even more I miss the beaches.

I'm not sure if this is even possible or it may be easy for a smart modder but my dream would be to add a biome called 1.7.3 biome. So all the other biomes are as they currently are, just add another biome that generates as 1.7.3 would have. This biome would be the same size as the current biomes are.

For that one would need the biome generation code from 1.7.3. Also, 1.7.3 included biomes, so what you're asking for is multiple biomes within a biome?

Yes. I think it would add to the diversity and make it less obvious when you're entering a specific biome. Think it's possible?

[Cheshire_88]

+1 for falling leaves, I'm really looking forward to that.

Available in the beta form here. And yes, the leaves do fall. The only problem is they appear as white boxes when falling atm. Try it out though

yah, its definitely possible. I'll see if I still have any 1.7.3 unmodded jars, look into it for you.

[TheBrainiac1mil]

Oh thank you pheenixm for the great mod! Though now I would like the first request. I am not to sure I like the 1.7 biome, since if it is as big as a normal biome, you would have say, gargemel in one biome, which will be kind of wierd.

I am asking for mountains in all biomes, like those sand over hangs (which I have always loved to break down. ) sand mountains with sandstone arches. Stone and dirt arches in all biomes, etc.

One idea is to have maybe swamp hills with overhangs and stuff with fines on them. This would be like an open cylender which is turned sideways, with vines to cover the entrences. something like that would be cool, though probably really hard to code.

If you're looking for a map-generation mod, you can find those on the forum. This is a bit more...specialized. Also, the ideas you put forth here, well, lets just say I have no idea nor any plans to really implement them. Find an expert. I'm not sure its even possible to make cylinders by generation sideways. I can do some biomes, but these are not among them.

And you wouldn't mind doing a review on my explosives+ mod would you? Thats the best one on my thread currently.

Sure, I can do it right now!
