Thank you for the video Direwolf20

If you find any bugs, please add them to this list, I would greatly appreciate it and it would make the next update come sooner Posted Image http://goo.gl/FwGoR

This is a mod I've been working on for a little while because I thought it'd be a neat idea.
It's still not quite done, but I thought I'd get some opinions on what I've got so far.

The basic idea behind this was to create a system to do cool stuff that takes advantage of the true spirit behind Minecraft, which isn't just crafting, it's building. I love mods like Industrialcraft, EquivalentExchange, and those alike, they add incredible elements into the game for hours of fun that I love to play with on my own. However, while I know I won't really be able to compete with them anytime soon, I still think those mods among many many others around have stepped too far towards using crafting as their means of doing, so I aim to fight that. (Though that's not to say that there aren't any exceptions at all within said mods)

So this mod allows you to draw runes on the ground physically and outside the crafting gui. Depending on what pattern you draw and what you give as a sacrifice, something magical will happen.
Please do read the Getting Started section for a more detailed description on how to do everything.

Do be warned that I still consider this somewhat of a WIP because it can be quite buggy at times, some things are kind of overpowered since not everything's entirely balanced, and, well, I'm still Working and it's Progressing Posted Image

If you have ideas or suggestions I would be glad to hear them, please just do not PM me them, do not re-post them, and especially don't go "AH3M R34d Th15 NAO!" It's rude and unbearable...
I have yet to miss a post, I go back over each page several times, I just cannot respond to all of them whether I like them or not, I am a terrible conversationalist with not enough time.
(Do feel free to pm me things like requests to put in modpacks or videos and such though)
If I like them, I will add them and credit you, mmk?

That's embarrassing....sorry!

I think this is a pretty darn cool idea! The placing of the dust reminds me of the littleblocks mod. XD

I'm looking forward to future updates. I do have a few suggestions and I hope you'll take them into consideration. :)

Harvest Rune: Causes all planted items, such as wheat, pumpkin, cactus, etc, within a specific radius, to grow to full maturity. If used in an area with no plants, it'll create grass/flowers to suddenly appear in the area.

Frost Rune: Causes the current area/chunk (or specific area) to freeze. Snow will appear on the ground and water in the area will be frozen.

Weather Rune: Causes it to rain/snow.

Storm Rune: Causes a thunderstorm/snow with lightening (I've had that default in-game. Looks beautiful).

Calming Rune: Stops all storms and restores the skies to a clear, calm state.

***I'd like to see the three above to make this weather so long as the rune is active if it were possible***

Oak/Birch/Pine Runes: When activated, that specific tree will grow.

only 1 page? wow, anyway, make a rune that summons an enderman spawn, a mini enderman to do your bidding, hes 2 blocks high like you, and DOSNT teleport, does 5 damage and has 10 hearts, burns in daylight, so hes good for caves. then, the mini creeper, basically a creeper, 2 blocks high but shorter than you, if you right click on him he will explode and every block WONT dissapear, so hes a mining tool, explosion is 4x4 and has a 3 second delay, also damages things, like i said before, it dose not destroy items. creeper= like a creeper face with gunpowder dust and enderman, like an enderman with lapis dust.

Ok, love the mod, but, I do have something to say, unlike my last request, this one will be easier. House generator, builds an instant house :)
Hope you like this idea, I'll probably post others. :D

I might add that, I might not say exactly what it is but it may show up in the mod eventually ;)

LOVE DIS. But maybe make them have multiple uses? Grass has one use, gunpowder has 5 uses, lapis has 10 uses and blaze has 15/20 uses. At least give the blaze powder more uses, that stuff is friggin' expensive. Anyway, I would give you all my diamonds :D ...If I had any. <_<

Yeah I still need to work on balancing recipes
I plan on making runes require higher value dust if they do higher level stuff (with some exceptions for things like obelisk which is so earth oriented :P )

Using higher level dust than a rune requires is just a waste at the moment, I don't really want to have it so that the value of the dust will affect the result in a general way like duration for every rune (like glowstone and redstone in potions), but some of them may do things like that

but things seem mostly balanced as they are right now
firesprite lasts 3 days and is sorta overpowered because no mob can touch you without burning, so it's balanced by the cost of blaze powder (though admittedly a lot, so the sacrifice is low)

the tools use a lot of lapis, but dont require much else besides meat which is renewable (also if you'll notice, the rune looks like the top of a crafting bench :P )

obelisk is pretty low in the cost of the rune but really high in it's sacrifice since it isn't actually all that useful...that I will probably change.

Firetrap is kinda overpowered for its sacrifice, requiring about 9 gunpowder dust (4 gunpowder i think off the top of my head) its pretty low. even though its single use only its still kinda too powerful, i may reduce the fire damage it causes and greatly reduce the amount of fire to the terrain around it.
Although that seems like one that would fit nicely with the 'stronger dust -> stronger rune' idea now that i think about it...

Then the torch is equivalent to grass and 1 coal... i think thats mostly balanced, i made that thinking it would be quick to make in a pinch though cumbersome to cheat with if it isnt very balanced, although are sticks really worth more than grass? considering grass requires uses off iron shears...

but yea, i am not the greatest at balancing these sorts of things so i may end up needing a little help later :P
