Update 4: Now it works in 1.2.4 (We are getting a little tired of the buggy releases coming out of Mojang). Update 3: Released version for 1.2.3 Update 2: We made it so now it spawns baby cows and baby mooshrooms. Update 1: We made it do that it works with Redstone.
Hello, I am Kew. I am 10 years old. I have created a mod that enables you to create cowbells in minecraft.
My dad helped me. I want to learn how to mod, so he is teaching me. We have started small with a simple block that can do things when the user clicks on them like playsounds and spawn mobs.
We are going to make more mods in the future. Next one is a block that spawns a huge pirate ship or maybe an airplane or a t-rex or.. .. to do that we need to learn how to make our own mobs with 3D models.
What Does This Mod Do.
This mod enables you to make cowbells and when you right click on the cowbell, it will play a sound and spawn a cow, or if you are lucky, a moo-shroom.
There is a secret underneath the cowbell.
Update: Now usable with redstone.
Crafting Recipe
To craft a cowbell you will need 5 gold,1 gold nugget and 1 piece of string.
Also, we managed to get the block to appear in the creative menu (CreativeContainer). That bit was harder.
This mod needs modloader installed. Follow the install instruction on his website. You need to do the same thing with my mod, and his is much bigger, so it is good practice.
Unzip the downloaded file and copy files into your minecraft.jar
If you are using Windows, Click the Windows Button, Type %APPDATA% and then hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
Now click on the .minecraft folder and then the bin folder. You will see the minecraft.jar file there.
Make a backup of your minecraft.jar because I don't want you to hate me if your install goes badly.
You need to open minecraft.jar and drag in my files. I use 7-Zip, because my dad says its cool
Also if you have a META-INF folder in your minecraft.jar then delete it.
Close the jar and now run Minecraft and have fun.
For Help
If you need help with the mod, we have placed the source code up in github
Any problems post there in (issues) or here in the forums.
Also you can see me sometimes on my own server kew.my64k.com I am only there 3 times every week after school because of homework and stuff
trying this out :smile.gif: . is it red-stone triggerable? if it was i could become the auto-killer of all things that moo using lava water and a few signs
Its great to see some as young as 10 getting into Java, I salute you good sir. This looks pretty good for your first mod. I wish I had gotten into Java/modding when I was your age, I'm 17, so it's getting pretty annoying to learn as I don't have time. Keep it up lad, and you may have a future in coding video games :biggrin.gif:
EDIT: I have a mod idea for you to try out if you want. Could you try and make jukeboxes redstone powered? That would be awesome
Great job. If you guys need to make your own models there is a program called Techne. I also had I seas for updates. You could make the block redstone activated, and have a vowbell item that converts the cow into a model with a cow bell. Just ideas :biggrin.gif:

EDIT: +1
Thank-you for the suggestion we have now made it redstone triggerable.

I hope you will enjoy the mod.
Happy minecrafting.
Pretty awesome dude!! I hope to see more of your mods in future!
I wish my dad could have taught me how to code, too bad he's a noob with computers :tongue.gif:. I had to learn by myself.

Thanks. Done.
EDIT: Found out it does make sounds

Gaming, history, science and technology enthusiast. Don't mind my cynicism.
Just a heads up, you don't need the "for minecraft 1.1" at the end as that what it states at the start.
Fixed that too thanks.
Thank-you for the suggestion we have now made it redstone triggerable.
You don't have minecraft?
Then why are you on the forums? That's a bit odd...
