Here is my new tumblr blog. I'll post there my progress about my mods and some other stuff. Also you can ask me something. Check it out: http://sanandreasp.tumblr.com/

Small enough to hold in your hand, strong enough to rule the land!

Originally created by Kodaichi, further development by SanAndreasP and SilverChiren. You can find the original (discontinued) version of this mod here

If you look for additional stuff for this mod, like arenas, look at this thread, here

We decided to use Minecraft Forge for this mod just because of several hooks, more compatibility (infinite item sprites) and SMP compatibility without having hundreds of pre-requirements. Read the instructions linked below, all of it!

And deal with it.

IMPORTANT : Install the Manager pack listed in the pre-requirements and make sure it'll loaded before my mods! It's now needed for ALL of my mods (including this one)!

Also be sure you get the latest one! It is version 1.4.2!

So you're probably wondering to yourself "A mod involving clay? No Way! I need all the grey goop I can get for my brick castle!" Well put those tried, burnt hands to rest for a second and think about this: What if you could create your own miniature army out of clay and stage the most epic battles imaginable in a space small enough to be your backyard? Now before you accuse us of being a madman, take a look at this mod. Read ahead through the thread, and you'll see just what kind of violent mayhem you can cause with just a few simple materials plucked right from the ground.

This mod is for the Minecraft ver. 1.5 / 1.5.1 / 1.5.2. Do not use this mod besides 1.5 / 1.5.1 / 1.5.2.You may use an older version for an older Minecraft, but we won't give support when you do this.



This mod needs some requirements to run properly:

• Latest Version of Minecraft -> 1.5 / 1.5.1 / 1.5.2
  
• My Manager pack - v1.4.2 -> Thread: LINK | Download: LINK
  
• Minecraft Forge 7.8.0.684 or higher: LINK

The new install instructions since v8 can be found here:
http://www.minecraft....php/topic,1976

Configure the mod!
Yes, it is possible to configure the IDs for this mod in a text file! Here are the instructions:

Spoiler:

The mod creates on the first start of minecraft with it a file names “ClaySoldiers.txt” in the “.minecraft/config/SanAndreasP/” directory (client) respectively "[directory_with_minecraft_server.jar]/config/SanAndreasP/" directory (server).
To configure the Mod, open up the ClaySoldiers.txt with a text editor of your choice (I recommend Notepad++). The file should look like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ClaySoldiersMod Configuration File, made by SanAndreasPs ConfigManagerII
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Item IDs ]
# shearBlade = 6863
# horseDoll = 6851
# clayNexus = 6862
# pegasusDoll = 6852
# soldierDoll = 6850
# clayCookie = 6854
# disruptor = 6849
# bunnyDoll = 6856
# brickDoll = 6853
# shield = 6860
# geckoDoll = 6857
# turtleDoll = 6855

Under [ Item IDs ] you can edit the IDs for all items from this mod.

MAIN INFORMATIONS:
Here's how it works: A clay soldier is an item you can hold in your hand. It is crafted using a clay block (for substance) and soulsand (for sustaining intelligent life). Specifically, one block of clay and one block of soulsand can be used to create four soldiers. Once you have a nice little pile in your hands (up to 16), right-click to place them all at once. They will quickly spread out and begin to roam the landscape. They walk slow and don't jump very high, but they have enough arm strength to climb up a single block. Unfortunately, since they lack a decent skeletal support structure (or even skin, for that matter), their delicate figures can be horribly mutilated by even the weakest of blows. A player can cripple a clay soldier in just a single punch. So naturally, they aren't hostile towards anything bigger than themselves. So, what in the world are they qualified to fight against? ...Other clay soldiers, of course!

Clay soldiers have a team-based mentality. They respect similar colors of their race, and treat their identical equals as brothers. But when colors other than grey come into play, things start to get a little bit more exciting! You can use red dye, blue dye, green dye, yellow dye, orange dye, pink dye, brown dye (cocoa beans) or purple dye to change the color of your soldiers, and then set them loose to start a fight! Grey soldiers are peaceful unless attacked, but all other colors will rush in for the kill without mercy! Their natural hatred towards members of a different spectrum allows for a lot of exciting events to take place in your Minecraft world. Build giant battlefields, arm your fortresses to the teeth, and let your soldiers transform the earth into a sea of crumbled clay!

...But then again, it's just a bunch of identical clay men, right? And there's nothing interesting about that, is there? If only there were some way to make things more interesting... OH WAIT, there is!

Following things in the spoiler are removed in v6! However, they are still there in previous versions:

Spoiler:

That's right! White soldiers are completely peaceful. So if a band of ruffians shows up at their doorstep, they'll have no choice but to sit back and take the hurt! They spawn with slightly lower HP (15) than normal, and they won't pick up offensive items. What use are they then? Well, you could have a race to see which team can kill clay soldiers the fastest! And being peaceful makes them the only team which doesn't attack hostile mobs. Now, as for the other team...

Brawler is really the only suitable word for these furious fighters. Black brawlers are so full of rage and fighting spirit, that they will even fight each other! They will also avoid picking up team-based items, such as golden crowns and revival clay. And since they spawn with higher HP (30), there's no telling which one will be the last one standing! And as if that wasn't enough, the boundaries of war have been expanded even further with this items...

arrows give feathers, book as infinite paper capes, break compatibility between iron ingot and lilly pants, glass panes or bottles for individual goggles, make parachuters not throw ranged attacks, fix pegasi dying to rider's attacks

Even with all of the new additions this time around, we decided we should take time to make some changes to old effects. Arrows now will provide not only a sharp stick, but also a feather. Books will provide infinate paper capes. Iron core soldiers will no longer float when wearing lilly pants. Glass panes and bottles will provide a single soldier with goggles. And ranged attacks now work as they should for parachuters and pegasus riders.

Also, we decided against easter eggs this time around. You might notice some small things, like colorful capes or lazy soldiers, these are intended, but way too common to consider easter eggs, and besides with them being mentioned here, they're only hidden to the jerks that don't read.

Pretty much just bugfixes this time around. We changed the nexus so that it will only read numbers between 1 and 500, with the exception of the no item chance which ranges from 0 to 500, and also added a box to set the hp of the nexus. Also, you now have to craft the shear blades from a pair
of shears, and give each blade to the soldier separately (reverseable: 2 blades crafts one pair of shears shears). Here is the complete changelog:

Spoiler:

• slime, redstone, and eggs having an effect now when used through a nexus
  
• nexus crashes when values are too high, or too low; values available between 1 - 500
  
• all mounts can now be revived by clay soldiers
  
• bunnies keep their color now when the world is exited and restarted
  
• soldiers are able to have shear blades from the nexus with the shear blade item (two for dual wield)
  
• Placing a mount in the mount slot (without a soldier in the soldier slot) of a nexus makes it spawn unridden mounts
  
• Snow blocks providing snowballs infinitely
  
• Glowstone blocks providing glowdust infinitely

This time it's just an update to Minecraft 1.3.2, but it doesn't mean it's not awesome! This time we ported the mod to Multiplayer, so you can go in combat with / against your friends! That means, it's also automatically LAN compatible. Also we decided to go to Minecraft Forge due to extended possibillities. So we don't need countless prerequirements to make it multiplayer, have our own texture sheet, so we can add even more items and you can install even more mods! Unfortunately, due to limitations with packets, we had to decrease the max. value for the nexus options to 250, but that shouldn't be a problem.

If you want to know something about this mod, you can post your request here or ask us in the #risucraft or #clayman IRC channel on Esper.net.

Why you aren't implement [insert suggestion here]?
We don't implement suggestions we think they're stupid or they're really hard to make! Here is a list of no-future-implements stuff:

• Make them controllable. Will never happen due to the insane amount of editing, coding and compatibility issues it would take.
  
• Add a block to make their homebase. Not adding new blocks. Nor changing behavior about any existing block.
  
• Add dragons. Give a soldier a pegasus and a fire charge. There's your dragon.
  
• Add obsidian armor/weapons/anything. Obsidian is too overpowered to be included on anything
  
• Add tanks/guns/planes. No modern stuff. Goes against the main theme of the mod.
  
• Make giant clay soldiers. The mod is about little toy-like soldiers. Not human-like soldiers.
  
• Make them get resources. Why would they want to get resources? Their objective is to fight, not mine stuff.
  
• Things that already exist or featuring stuff that is already used. Pretty self explanatory... things cannot be used twice. Don't ask for stuff that is already implemented and don't suggest new uses for items that already in use. Also look at the further posts to see what items are already being used in the next update.
  
• Things that have already been rejected several times. Seriously. Read the previous posts. Take a look at what has already been rejected. For example: Siege stuff, new buildings, fancy new mounts like dragons and elephants, etc.
  
• Fixing Minecraft related bugs. Would require editing the original game files, and it would make the mod less or non compatible with several other mods. (like the "snow-issue")

If you disagree that we don't implement one of these points, discuss it in our #clayman channel!

I've talked with Kodaichi about the OpenSource plan and he won't make it open source anymore! Sorry guys, but he says, that he don't want to flood the forum with endless Clay Soldiers clones.

We've experienced a lot of PMs in the last time so we want to say one thing: Please do not PM us if it has something to do with the Clay Soldiers Mod! Exceptions, where you can PM us, are following things:

• You made a video
  
• You have at least 5 suggestions to the mod

All other things going into this thread, thanks.


We really hope you enjoy this mod!

• new building system: support for user-made buildings and properties

[Vekh]

This mod is amazing! Mr. does not agree!

*Vekh bashes Mr. senseless*

This mod is amazing! Mr. agrees!

[destroyallhumans]

I hope you do good thing with this mod.Its was pick-breaking when I saw kodachi say he was discontinueing!But atleast he let people mod it...

[Darthrafael]

Yay! An Update!

[resaclan62]

Cool, really waiting for this

[Skylar201]

Awesome! I'm going to use this again!

[necrocancer]

i love you i was searching for this mod for 1.1 for a few hours every day since 1.1 came out-and a idea that may fit i hope is maybe wood plank shields if you like the idea

[Minhil]

Awsome mod!!!

Maybe you could give some    so they could burn their foe.
Some torch so that they could light their way in the dark.
Maybe some other mounts.

[Whatpie]

THANK YOU!

It's time for more clay soilders  

5 diamonds for you.

I'm taking this into consideration, I'll see what I can do about it ^.^

[Neon_ColorsFTW22]

Thanks for the update of this mod one of my fav mods out there

Just a question

Are you gonna add more features to this mod?

[atomicdonutinc]

Hey, I have given this idea to Koda before, but he didn't use it. I was wondering if you thought it was cool. I have 2 ideas for new weapons, fire spear and lance. My idea was if you gave the soldiers a torch, they could set other soldiers on fire when they hit them. Also, if you give them an arrow, they use it as a spear with a longer range. Maybe even throw it, but thats up to you.

This is my favorite mod and I am so glad you updated it.

Diamonds for you. And Koda.

[mr_cat]

Thanks for updtaing

[Skylar201]

Maybe you'll listen to this request, could you make it so that you can craft a Clay Soldier with its upgrades, to pre-arm it for battle? That would help sooooo much!

[VIVALAALBO]

I hope you can make this mod for server too that will be really great



sorry for my bad english but im from germany

[SanAndreasP]

Alright, Here is a preview pic for one of our new features. Hope you'll enjoy ^^

[SparkyT]

Hurray! 1.1.0!!!!

[flykoning]
