Intro: A kingdom collapsed
A long time ago, a special place used to exist in Minecraft where fairies would roam free and live happy lives. This kingdom, called the Great Fairy Empire, was a prosperous place of peace and harmony. That place still exists today, but it's not quite as peaceful as it used to be. Following a royal dispute and several great conflicts, the Great Fairy Empire broke off into many small factions (each led by a single ruler) and began to explore the worlds of Minecraft in search of a new place to call their home. It seems that only just now they've stumbled upon your world - which means you've got some company. These invaders aren't going to be leaving any time soon, and they seem to just keep coming, so you've got a choice to make: Will you unite the fairy factions and recreate the Great Fairy Empire? Will you become their all-powerful leader and rule the land with an iron fist? Or will you drive off the invaders by force and teach them that your world is no place for a fairy? The choice is yours to make, but be careful. With these puppies, the bite is worse than the bark.

Classes: Meet the fae

Normal Fairies
Fairies are small female humanoids with simple leaf clothing, blue wings and brightly colored hair. They have the ability to hover above the ground and fall slowly using their wings. Some fairies are timid and will flee if they are threatened, but since the fall of the Great Fairy Empire they've learned to toughen themselves and put up a fight if one arises. Fairies typically follow their leader around and roam the nearby landscape. If you decide to attack a fairy, be prepared to deal with her companions as well!
HP: 7.5 hearts - Attack: 1 - Defense: none - Aggression: may flee when hit
Special Abilities: none
Lore:

Queens
Every fairy faction you encounter will have one leader: the queen. A fairy queen is a well-respected individual who is both stronger and wiser than most fairies, and her leadership status is seldom questioned by her followers. Since a fairy queen is responsible for holding her group together, the rest of the faction will fall into chaos in her absence. However, since her followers tend to stay very close, it's not often you'll find a queen without an entourage. Her sword combined with her armor and buffed health are more than enough to help her deal with any enemies. If you want to steal some of her followers, you'll have to deal her first.
HP: 15 hearts - Attack: 2.5 - Defense: takes 1/2 damage - Aggression: always fights back
Special Abilities: spawns with a group of followers, can recruit wandering untamed fairies
Lore:

Guards
A guard is a well-trained and well-equipped fairy that serves as a personal servant to her queen. They wear wooden armor and carry matching wooden swords to help them take care of any pesky foes who dare to bother their leader. Since they tend to stay so close to their faction ruler, it's unlikely that you'll be able to take on a queen without eliminating her guards beforehand. They even have the ability to preemptively find and stop enemies that are targeting their ruler. As a companion, they're very reliable and a must-have addition to any fairy army.
HP: 7.5 hearts - Attack: 2 - Defense: takes 1/2 damage - Aggression: always fights back
Special Abilities: automatically targets enemies which are targeting her ruler
Lore:

Medics
When the going gets tough, the medics get going. Having an uncanny ability to manifest potions at will, a medic provides a team with a source of recovery in times of suffering and hardship. Medics won't actively participate in fights unless they are directly hit by an attacker. Instead, the medics will hover about the battlefield in search of teammates in need of help, and use one of two different splash potions at close range. A medic can also heal herself if there's nobody else around in need of a hand. Having a medic on your side is basically a free source of health recovery, although they can be a bit slow at providing potions when the need is dire. Besides the fact that they can occasionally heal enemies by mistake, a medic fairy is a great ally to have on any team.
HP: 7.5 hearts - Attack: 1 - Defense: none - Aggression: avoids fighting, may flee when hit
Special Abilities: can heal teammates with potions, regenerates potion after 10 seconds
Lore:

Scouts
Some fairies are faster than others, and the scout is one of those fairies. Gifted with wings of an impressive size, the scout's flying ability exceeds all others. She also wears a skin-tight body suit to minimize wind resistance. She can fly faster and higher than regular fairies, so she puts her speed to use by patrolling the perimeter of her group. The scout will stick to the edge of a group and keep watch over various things. When an enemy approaches, she has several options to consider. She can flee like a coward (most often), she can race to inform her companions, or she can put her wings to some real use and perform her trademark aerial drop attack for a serious amount of fall damage. When she's not goofing around, a scout can be a very valuable companion. As strong as her wings are, she still won't be able to fly you straight up a mountain - but there's no doubt you'll eventually reach the summit with her at your side.
HP: 7.5 hearts - Attack: 1+ - Defense: none - Aggression: may flee when hit
Special Abilities: flies higher and faster than normal, can use a super aerial drop attack
Lore:

And Three More Secret Classes!
coming in later updates.

Taming: Making friends
Now that you've been introduced to the fairies, you might be thinking about making friends with a few of them. Well, you can! But it's not as simple as you'd think. In order to get a fairy to become your follower, or "tame" her, you must follow these steps in order.

Step One: Finding your Fairy
They Come in Groups: Assuming you installed the mod correctly, you should probably be able to find a fairy faction quite easily. They spawn in large open fields, forests, taigas, tundras or swamps during the day. They come in groups of 8-10, and always have a central leader. The faction will consist of a variety of classes and colors. They should each have two words above their head which state their faction name. It will be something like "Avian Army" or "Dainty Demons". If you see a fairy you like in the group, proceed to step two.
Can't Find a Fairy? Try standing in the middle of a large field, waiting about a minute, then take a look around. Chances are a faction will spawn nearby while you're waiting. If you already have too many followers (more than 20 on SSP), the game may decide not to spawn any more fairies to prevent spamming.
Look Above the Head: If you find a fairy that has a white tag without <these brackets> around it or with a flower crown, the fairy belongs to someone else. If the fairy has no words at all above its head, proceed to step three.

Step Two: Defeating the Queen
A Previous Engagement: Since fairies are loyal to their faction, they will deny any requests to become your follower as long as their queen is still around. How to solve this problem? Well, you're going to have to be a little violent. If you're playing on Peaceful you can skip to step four. Otherwise, you will need to defeat the queen in order to earn the right to recruit her followers. If you've got some TNT or Lava handy, or if you're good with a bow, it's possible to assassinate her without anyone stopping you. Otherwise, pick up a decent sword and prepare for a long fight.
Dealing with Her Guards: As soon as you attack any fairy in the faction, any nearby companions will be notified. Some fairies will try to stop you by force, some will run away in fright, and some will try to provide support for their comrades. If a fairy has smoke above her head, she is angry. The biggest problem to deal with will be Guard fairies, since they stay close to the queen and will protect her fiercely. If you manage to defeat the queen, all of her followers will instantly stop attacking you and run away in fear. At this point, you may proceed to step three.
But I Want to Tame the Queen! If you desire to take a queen as your companion, you're in for quite a fight because you have to defeat every single one of her followers to earn her respect. This can be quite tricky, since she will be trying to attack you as well most of the time. If you do defeat her, proceed to step three.

Step Three: The Mourning Phase
Respect for the Dead: When a fairy faction loses its leader, all the other members of the faction will go into a state of panic. They will drop what they were doing and flee from whoever managed to slay their queen. If you try to follow them, you'll only be adding fuel to the fire. You need to leave them alone for a little while to get over their loss. It usually takes about thirty seconds for them to stop crying. Once they do, you can proceed to step four.
She Won't Stop Crying! Make sure to stay out of sight. If you get too far away from them, it's possible they might despawn naturally. Stay about 16 blocks away and count to thirty. You'll know that they've calmed down once you stop seeing blue tears above their heads.
Taking it Like a Man: A queen, unlike the other fairies, doesn't cry when her faction has been defeated. Well, technically she's crying on the inside. But she's got too much pride to show any tears. Instead, you'll have to wait for her to stop pouting, which will take even longer... up to a whole minute. Once that's over with, you can proceed to step four.

Step Four: Snack Time
Worked up an Appetite: Once a fairy calms down, she's going to be bit confused. Without a leader, fairies lose all common sense and can't figure out what to do. At this point, it should be easy to recruit them if you can convince them you're a worthy leader. And what better way to do that than offering them a nice healthy snack?
Just choose sweet treat from this list of goodies:

And right-click your fairy. She'll accept the treat, and she will officially become your follower! She is name-bound, so she will only follow you and not any other players. Her name will appear above her head, and she'll also put on a flower hat to show her trust in humans. Congratulations, you just tamed yourself a fairy! You can have an unlimited number of followers, so to tame additional fairies, just rinse and repeat. To find out what you can do with your new companion, see the next section.

Abilities: Making use of your fairies

So now you've got a fairy companion or two. What can you do with them? Well, quite a lot, to be honest. This is a heavily AI-centered mod, so what did you expect? Here's a list of the various things you can do with your flying friends. Keep in mind that these abilities only apply to fairies you have already tamed.
Identifying a fairy: A fairy that is yours will have red @ symbols around its name. Tamed fairies will not despawn.
Travelling with a fairy: A fairy will automatically follow you wherever you go. If you get too far, the fairy may take a little while to catch up to you.
Flying with a fairy: Right-click a fairy with an empty hand to make her grab your head. Hold jump key to fly up several blocks. Flight is not infinite. Scouts fly you higher.
Healing a fairy: A fairy's eyes get paler as they lose health. Right click a fairy while holding one of the taming items (shown above) to heal her fully. Sugar only heals partially.
Making a fairy stop flying: Right click a fairy on your head to make her dismount. Hold shift and right-click a flying fairy to make her land. Fairies can't fly under low ceilings.
Making a fairy sit still: Hold shift and right-click a fairy while she is on the ground to make her sit. While sitting she will stay still unless she is attacked by an enemy.
Reading a fairy's emotions: If you see tears, she's either afraid of someone or upset. If you see smoke above her head, she's angry at something. Queens don't cry, they have smoke instead.
Getting a fairy to heal you: If you have a medic fairy following you and your health is low, she will automatically use recovery potions on you and your other fairy followers.
Getting a fairy to fight for you: If you have a guard fairy or a queen fairy with you, they will pursue and attack hostile monsters that are following you (except for creepers).
Protecting your fairy: Fairies that you own cannot be damaged by your hands or weapons. Fairies on your head are immune to all damage. Fairies will try to defend themselves against attackers.
Disbanding a fairy: There are certain things in minecraft that fairies find very offensive. To make a fairy leave your party, right click her with one of the following items:

She will run away crying and become untamed. She can be re-tamed again afterwards.
Forcibly spawning a fairy: Use the purple-and-pink egg in creative mode. You can't spawn queens with these.
Making fairies teleport: Fairies can teleport to you like wolves, but only if you have an ender eye or an ender pearl in your inventory.
Other uses for a fairy: Fairies drop glowstone powder when they die.
Stealing a fairy: You can tame another player's fairy as long as that fairy is not a queen type. The player will be notified of this if they are online.
Renaming a fairy: Right click a fairy that you own with paper while she is sitting. Leave blank for her default name. Queens always have a prefix.
More abilities and AI features will be added in later updates.
Future Additions: The three major updates
Read about each one and cast a vote for which one you want first.
Each update comes with its own secret fairy class.
The ARENA Update:
Inspired by the popularity of Clay Soldiers arena battles, this mode will allow players to stage mob fights for entertainment purposes.
- Configurable "politics mode" - makes wild or user-created fairy factions fight each other naturally.
- Fights will be to the death, instead of just until the queen is dead.
- Server commands for spawning a user-specified custom faction with ease (with a custom name, maybe?)
- Configurable team-colored hair and outfits to better tell factions apart.
- Configurable setting to make all fairies brave so they won't run away from battles.
- Scout AI of wild facions will be updated so they can inform their faction of nearby enemies.
- Medics will be forced to duke it out if they are the only ones remaining.
The COLONIZATION Update:
For the peaceful fairy lover, this update will allow you to create a REAL fairy empire. Jobs, abilities, and AI settings galore!
- Placing a sign on the ground (not on a wall) with a fairy's name on it will set that spot as her post. The owner must place it.
- Guards can be posted outside to guard things, or if a post is made in a building the fairy will treat it as her house.
- Fairies at a post can do jobs such as smelting, farming, chopping down trees or other things. The job can't be too complicated.
- A fairy at a post will stay there and won't follow her owner around until the sign with her name on it is broken.
- Queens at a post will act as ambassadors and automatically recruit other wild factions that spawn nearby.
The WAR Update:
This update is mostly server based, adding PVP options. But it also adds a mount. So it's a bit of an oddball.
- Server commands will allow players to declare each other as Enemies, Allies or Neutral(default).
- A fairy will attack an enemy player or a follower of an enemy player on sight. A war won't stop until peace is declared by both players.
- Players won't be able to hurt allied fairies, or take them, or get them to follow, but will be able to heal them.
- ALSO Adds a mount to the game. It will be too small for the player to ride but fairies can ride it. It will be a surprise.
Other Things for future updates:
- Three secret classes, each will be added in a separate update.
- Crying noises and more sound effects.
- Configuration/Options: Change spawn limits, enable/disable fairy stealing, spawn specific fairies using commands, turning messages on and off, etc.
- Maybe, possibly, fairy reproduction...? Not until WAY later.
Things that will NOT be added:
- Making the player become a fairy.
- Controlling fairies remotely.

Information: What you need to know
Compatibility Info:
- This mod is made for Minecraft client 1.1 and server 1.1. It is made for ModLoader and ModLoaderMP.
- It currently has no known incompatibilities or issues with other existing mods.
- It is not currently made to work with bukkit servers (though it may eventually if someone assists me with that).
- Entity ID 65 is used for the fairies. No item IDs or block IDs are used.
- Fairies are considered by the game to be EntityAnimals, but all breeding functionality has been disabled (for the moment).
Client Installation:
YOU MUST INSTALL THE CLIENT VERSION TO PLAY ON FAIRY-ENABLED SERVERS.
Step 1: Make sure you have Risugami's ModLoader installed. It can be found on this page. Many other mods use ModLoader as well. Several tutorials exist to help you with installing it.
Step 2: Install Risugami's AudioMod using basically the same method you used to install ModLoader. It can be found on the same page.
Step 3: Install the client version of Flan/SDK's ModLoaderMP. It can be found here. You still need to have this installed even if you are not going to be playing on servers. Again, just like ModLoader.
Step 4: Download the client version of the fairy mod from one of the links below - your choice. Extract the files from the rar archive. (the mod won't work if you just drag the downloaded file into your mods folder)
Step 5: Take the folder titled "mod" and copy-paste it into .minecraft/resources. If you do this wrong you won't be able to hear any fairy voices.
Step 6: Take the zip file named "fairymod.zip" and copy-paste it into .minecraft/mods. If you don't have a "mods" folder, make a new one. Alternately, you can extract the contents of "fairymod.zip" and move them into minecraft.jar using an archive utility.
And now you're done! You should be able to start playing the mod in single-player or multi-player mode.

Server Installation:
(Only required if you want to host a fairy-enabled server)
You have to enable flying in the properties or players may get kicked randomly.
Step 1: Install the server version of Flan/SDK's ModLoaderMP. It can be found here. Remember that these files go into your server jar, not your client jar.
Step 2: Download the server version of the fairy mod from one of the links below. Extract the files from the zip.
Step 3: Move the extracted files into your server jar using an archive manager such as WinRAR or 7-zip.
And now you're done! The mod should show up in your server console when you start it up.
