UPDATE: I've decided to take both the Harvest Ring (which was bugged) AND the Teleport Ring (which was broken) out, along with all configuration ability. The Flying Ring and Water Ring both have 1 hour of flight/water time. An update with all of the rings working, along with configuration should be out sometime this month. Check below for a download.
ALSO: I'm hereby giving ANYONE permission to use this in a modpack as long as I am credited. Have fun!

FLYING RING
What is it?
It's a pretty simple mod. I've taken the basic idea of Swiftwolf's Rending Gale from Equivalent Exchange 2 and have made it run off of hunger, along with some aesthetic changes, and the fact that it can be anywhere in your inventory, not just your hotbar. When you fly, instead of using the EMC system, if slowly takes away your hunger. If you are really hungry, you will not be able to fly anymore. It also prevents any fall damage. Aesthetically, it's a silver ring that turns gold and gets the enchantment-glow when flying (that was changed in the most recent version, and does not show in the images below). I'm totally open to any criticizm/suggestions, as this is my first mod, and I want it to be good!
Crafting
In the following picture is the crafting recipe, along with what the product looks like.
Config
The FlyingRing.cfg file (located in your config folder) has a few flags.
"Can Be Damaged" toggles whether the ring can wear out and break, and "Decrease Rate" is the number of minutes (multiplied by 10) it lasts.
"Decrease Multiplier" which is the amount of food removed (it is set to 1 as a default, removing around 1.5 bars of hunger), and "Decrease Rate", which specifies the number of seconds between removal of food (note that a full bar takes longer to decrease). "Is Hunger Added" toggles whether the ring eats food.
"Ring Color" is an option that lets you change the color of the ring's text in-game (default is "f" for white).

Very cool, I have been looking for something like this for our survival server but I think it is still a little overpowered. The hunger bar should decrease faster. Maybe a little faster than sprinting.

As soon as I figure out the exact code for it (it's a little unclear as to how much food it takes away when you call the method) I'll add a config file that lets you change the rate/amount of food used. Expect that in the next update pretty soon.
The config is almost perfect, now if it had the Item ID changeable it would be perfect.
Having the ring wear out over time would make it less over powered too. I can increase the consumption of the hunger bar now but I can still carry around a stack of bread and conceivably fly around forever. These ideas stem from wanting to use this on a survival server. So making it consume resources fits right in. Flying is a huge benefit and should come with a high cost atleast on our server and your config helps with that. Thanks

Thanks! On the topic of ring durability, what do you recommend for flight time? As in, how many minutes of flight should one ring give you? And I can add the item ID to the config for the next release.
OP compared to what? Using a bike to fly? It's not OP. I can feed Mr Wiffles (any unfortunate pig) trail mix and fly for a long time. The fact that it works off hunger is good. I like that idea. Good job. Diamonds for you!

Thanks! I'll still add the durability function, but I'll make it optional/configurable.
P.S I really like this mod it gives me more reason to use this than switching to creative via TMI because it takes away hunger and gives a sense of legitimacy
If I'm not mistaken, the sprite you use for the ring seems uncannily similar to that of the Thaumometer from Thaumcraft 3, just without the crystal in the center (and, of course, held normally, rather than like a map). If I may, I present this: as an example of how the Thaumcraft item looks. Was it a stock image that both you and Azanor found? Or did you ask his permission to use it for another purpose?

The durability function is a good idea, especially if people are using mods that add more diamonds. Maybe in the future you can make the ring upgradeable. By using say a nether star and eyes of ender.. Possibly even adding an item that is extremely rare or dangerous to get that can only be obtained with the ring?

I actually had a friend design the sprite. He is a bit fond of Thaumcraft, so that may have been his inspiration.

That sounds pretty cool. I'll look into maybe adding items such as that on floating islands that are only accessible via the ring... or something like that.
I set my fly time around 3 min before having to eat something, I may have to set it lower. I am thinking that the ring should be mostly used to escape inevitable death and maybe a convenience while building in survival. Maybe a durability around 15 or 20 min total fly time before it should be repaired or it breaks, Maybe configurable if that seems to short.
I think that flying should be a highly desirable benefit in survival and if your counting the minutes you wont be wasting it on what you should be doing in creative.
I havent downloaded this mod yet, but I do need to ask about the Decrease Multiplyer. It says 1 removes 1.5 hunger. Would setting it to 2 remove 3? I just want to make sure I have the math on that correct.

I'm trying to please everyone here, so I'm making it as configurable as possible. Durability, food consumption, etc. will all be modifiable.
I think you should make Colored text for it optional since some people wont like it. Like me.

That sounds fair to a server that allows creative mode. Many don't so the ring would be used a great deal more. It's common on servers that don't allow creative for flight to last an entire build.This could be 30 mins to 10 hrs While I have allowed flight for community builds. to do so singularly gains grief. I myself set up no fly zones for griefing protection and let people fly. Over encombering the ring as in limiting use beyond hunger could again create instances of griefing or theft. Something to think about when adding limitation.

Whoops. Oh well. I still like my mod better though (of course :P) and plan on adding more features, and maybe some more rings later.
Thanks so much! I'll put it in the post soon.

Yeah, that should be how it works.
