Hey everyone, this is my first mod. It is pretty simple, just adds a new item that replicates a ladder, but glows!
Not the best mod ever... just eliminates the need to do the ladder/torch/ladder/torch scheme while mining or whatever.
Video:
The recipe is simple:
[ladder]
This produces 1 "Glowing Ladder"
I know the graphic is pretty stupid, I couldn't think of any cool thing to draw. If anybody has ideas, I'll try to implement it.
Instructions to install are the same as every other mod...
1. Download it
2. Navigate to %AppData% .minecraft etc.
3. Open the minecraft.jar with WinRar or similar
4. Drag all of my files in the .rar into that WinRar window
5. Delete META-INF
6. Close
7. Play!!
I found there is an incompatibility with ModLoader when using this, and in my attempt to fix it... I completely ruined everything.
Sooooo I will be rewriting this in the next day or two so that it is hopefully compatible with modloader. It does work when being run along with ML, but there are some downsides.
It still works 100% without using ModLoader, but I'm looking at how to fix it; along with the complete rewrite. I shall post back here whenever I get the time to update it. Sorry guys!
Instead of having the glowing ladder weird looking like that with the normal texture pack you should make the glowing ladder have torches coming out of the side.

I like that idea, I'll see if I can throw anything decent together.
This is actually a very cool mod and a useful one too. It's great for lighting up those dark mine shafts. A great idea for a first mod. Thanks.
Thanks for your nice input!

really nice mod :smile.gif:
it would be nice to have a redstone ladder, ever thought of it?
I did not, do you just mean using redstone as the materials for a ladder? Or would it do something different?

This is some great stuff!
And where did you learn to do this mod? I've been wanting to try to do mods myself.
PS I don't think your graphic looks stupid
I know Java already, so just looked through a few tutorials, and snooped around in the files to figure out what had to be done.
On topic: Turns out I can't make heads or tails out of "making your mod compatible with ModLoader" so... I'm not quite sure where to go from here. Maybe over the weekend when I don't have school work or whatever, I can take a look. But for now, I'll just keep this version up.
That's pretty sweet. I didn't expect anybody to care about this much at all haha. Now I really wish I could get it working with ModLoader, though I really have no idea. Guess I'll be doing some research later...
Idea:to go along with the Torch ladders.
Glowstone Ladders!
First you make a normal ladder.
Then you put the ladder in the middle of the workbench and put lightstone to its left and right.
Where = Ladder and =Glowstone Dust

It has twice the power as the torch ladder, good for lighting up huge caves that have pit drops.

I modified the graphic of the ladder. Don't have to use it, but I think it probably would look nice in-game. You can see it here:
Ok yeah that is cool, I'm currently trying to make this ModLoader compatible, and it's giving me much more trouble that I would have liked. I just checked it in game, and it does look good. I'll credit you in the update (if I ever get it done!)

That does sound interesting, let me get this one updated then I'll take a crack at that.
I think it would be easier if this mod was comaptable with TFCS mod loader, very very simple but is very small with only 2 mods compatable with it, like to c u try it out, http://tfcmods.wordpress.com/
I'm sorry about the lack of updates everyone. But I'm quite busy with college, and really have no idea how to make a climbable block with ModLoader. I think I have all the other functions working, but can't figure out how to make it a 'ladder' instead of a full block, plus the climbing.

Or... just use Minecrafter, it's much easier.
Thanks, any feedback is welcome!
