I fail to see how this is even remotely steampunk...
Not trying to bash you or anything, but laser blocks? Jump pads? That stuff is so far beyond Victorian-era tech and it's not even themed correctly.
It's actually a very cool mod, I might try it out, but it just doesn't seem steampunk to me.
when I created this mod I had thought that the current minecraft "era" would be the victorian side of the steam-punk while the lasers would fill in the futuristic side
Alrighty, first version of my SteamPunk mod is completed! Still a few minor issues I'm working through, but I wanted to at least get something up here now that I got everything working. First attempt at a mod so go easy :unsure.gif: Here goes~
Author(s): shakeandbake (me)
Mod name: SteamPunkRage (just a working title I went with, couldn't think of anything too original)
Images (if any): It seems it makes the most sense to sort of caption these images describing the mod, so I'll do that.
Two new ores, copper and zinc. These have the same abundance as coal, and can be mined with a wood pick. I don't plan on changing either of these facts unless I continue work on the mod after this contest.
Copper and Zinc being smelted into ingot form. Not much to see, just showing for completeness.
The various new items added with this mod, shown with the recipes that make them. The "Steam Tank" and "Steam Engine" icons need changing, though I was too busy working on the Steam tank itself to work on either today unfortunately.
The "Steam Tank" in action! I'm quite pleased with how this ended up, actually. I initially had the blocks dropping their items as well as breaking, but this tended to cause issues from time to time and was a bit annoying while testing so I removed it.
The idea here, is that the "Chopper Wheel" has four blades on the front of the tank which tunnel through blocks directly in front of it. This allows for carefree horizontal travel!
Note: The tank is meant to be used in X/Z movement. There is no way to climb back up with it if it falls down. The tank is also not meant for water travel, and actually drills through water blocks so take care.
The "Steam Tank" model I created in the wonderful Techne tool. This took a bit of work to get in the game, but I think it came out quite nice so I'm happy with it.
The player's perspective with the goggles on.
A "Magnified Torch" placed on a tunnel created using the Steam Tank. These torches are slightly brighter than regular torches, and work underwater due to their glass lens casing.
Download link: http://www.mediafire...p0uirb4g2ze6a89 Requires ModLoader. This is my first mod so I'm not sure if there will be any issues with people getting this working. I repatched my Minecraft to 1.8, deleted META-INF folder in minecraft.jar, added the ModLoader files, and my mod specific files, and it worked fine. Do the same and you should be good to go! Not sure about compatability with other mods etc.
There are some things I didn't have time to change (Icon and recipe updates relating to the Steam Tank mostly - I went with a boat look but did not change the recipe from minecarts to boats. Also I noticed I spelled "Lens" wrong ) , but it was a little tough to get everything wrapped up while learning modding at the same time. I think the features I was able to get in are quite nice. I kept the GearArm weapon I was working on (recipe not pictured, but it is visible in the goggle overlay image) in the mod even though I wouldn't consider it finished (was trying to get the mod to not render the item but instead add a custom right arm skin to the player that resembled the item). All-in-all I'm quite pleased with the progress I was able to make, and I think the mod is quite interesting. I feel as though the tank destroying the blocks rather than harvesting them makes it a little more balanced. I think I may come back to this mod in the future once I have a bit more experience with modding, as I have quite a few ideas I wasn't able to get implemented in time!
Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated. This is my final version of this mod for the contest, I hope everyone who tries it has fun with it!
This is incompatible with Floracraft and compatible with The Twilight Forest mod.

Doesn't even seem most of the people who are interested in entering know what steampunk looks like. I really don't have high hopes for this contest. It's already halfway through and none are really steampunk. The theme should've been something Deus Ex inspired, or maybe Bioshock inspired. If the majority of the entrants don't even know how to fit the theme, how is anyone supposed to win fairly?
What would you add from Bioshock? Little sisters? Or the entire rapture city with NPC's? That would be interesting if someone made a mod like that.
If anyone finds bugs or feels like revamping my crappy textures please let me know. :biggrin.gif:
This is awesome. The complexities in the bike's shape are amazing, as well as it's textures. To me, your textures are nowhere near crappy. Plus, the bike's function. To get all of that done in two days, well, your a pretty good modder. Even though some things may need a little work, I say it is a job well done.
ahem if i may intrude a drill is more diesel-punk / cog-punk than it is steam-punk trust me i know a lot about the meaning of steam-punk.
anyway i watched the youtube vid for this mod and it was pretty good meh im lying it was probably the best only-one-item mod i have seen on youtube!

I'm pretty sure someone's already made a Bioshock mod complete with Dieselpunk and Art Deco styling. (And for those of you who don't know what these things and Steampunk are, don't even try entering the contest until you understand what it is. Otherwise, you'll just ruin what the whole theme is). Seriously. Almost none of these mods are even remotely close to being Steampunk. Learn it guys. Wikipedia, Youtube, etc.
I would have tried to compete in this competition but I had things I needed to do for a musical so I was booked on time. Maybe there will be another mod contest soon.
I hope that they make this into a forum with a thread for each entry, its too tiring looking through all the posts for the mods, please make this happen for the next competition.
Good Ideas/ Mod in general.

EDIT: LOL typo :tongue.gif:
What, exactly, is steampunk?
*EDIT*: Am I the only one who doesn't know what steampunk is?
I kinda like fallout

Hey bro, this thing looks amazing as hell! But may i ask one thing of you?
Do you think you could make it compatible with the SteamCraft mod? http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=steamcraft&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCkQFjAA&url=http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/251532-181-steamcraft-okay-this-should-be-final-bug-fixmlv054wip/&ei=SUK_Tu22JILV0QGSzbz5BA&usg=AFQjCNF4uOAIO9cKsASG9FxkSQcnA4zuow&sig2=eP5SP5GhD1WXRpn9nvwfeg If you could do that, I'd be able to use this mod in the first place. thanks!
that isn't steampunk..

Did you use sounds from half life?
not unless its a steam powered drill :wink.gif:
