Hello everyone, I am sure there have been mods like this before but I would like to introduce you to my mod. This mod is rather basic but shows the fundamentals of modding in Minecraft. I chose to do this mod to become familiar with ModLoader API and MCP, as well as getting familiar with Eclipse which is my IDE.
=== Information ===
This mod adds new tools, smelting/crafting recipes, and new armor to the game to add some more things to make and do. By using obsidian, you can harness its durability and strength to achieve more!
Incompatible with any mod that uses bs.class or dq.class files.
=== Mod Features ===
- News items and blocks!
- Adds new tools (Sword, Pickaxes, Shovel, Axe, Hoe) to the game which are made from Obsidian bars.
- Adds new armor to the game which are made from Obsidian bars.
- Allows you to get some items back from what you used to craft. Easy reverse engineering :biggrin.gif:
- Obsidian battleaxe
Please note all obsidian tools and swords will have double durability of diamond and are SLIGHTLY faster although I may reduce the speed a bit so that it is more balanced.
In progress Features
Obsidian battleaxe
Planned Features
While wearing entire set of armor, fire will not damage you - Suggested by Kretzge
Not be tied down my files that may cause incompatibilities
Obsidian chests, cannot be blown up by tnt or creepers
If you have any ideas on what to add, please let me know.

More pictures to be added as mod updates are released.

Thank you very much, Im working on it as we speak trying to make something but I'm having some issues, will update on the situation later :biggrin.gif:
Not hatin or anything, but if you put a hunk of obsidian under extreme heat (furnace, perhaps?) then it would either explode or turn into lave. It isn't an ore, just sharp glass made from cooled lava. But other then that, looks like a nice mod! for you!

Ladies and gentlemen, Hell has frozen over, and Satan is putting on ice skating shows for charity.
Actually, fish, I know what you mean, TECHNICALLY it is true, every word you say, but its minecraft, who cares :biggrin.gif: But thank you for stating your opinion. Thanks for being kind about it and a for you!
Mod has been updated, many new features!
Please read the updated readme file in the download
AdF.ly shortens the URl length and earns you money! http://adf.ly/
And MediaFire is one of the msot realiable Download sites out there... http://www.mediafire.com/
Try again with the download link, it should be working, it works for me.
I dont really have any attention right now so me using adfly will not be of an benefit right now. Thank you for letting me know I am aware of it though.
Well I have obsidian blocks now in the latest version, crafted similarly to iron blocks and diamond blocks, obviously with obsidian bars though. Remember, Obsidian ore and block are different.
I want to do an arrow like someone else did, but will have to do at a later time, Im heading to bed, goodnight everyone.
I got error message when installing mod for some reason. You know incompabilities with other mods?
Does this occur when you install or extract the rar file you downloaded? For incompatibilities, it is only incompatible with the files mentioned in the read me file but there isn't many incompatibilities since I do not use files that most people use. Usually the mod will not work if you have another mod that adds more armor and modifies speed and type of tools hence the ENUMTOOLMATERIAL mentioned in the read me as well.
Thank you, I haven't had a chance to look at yours but I find that obsidian is a fun thing to start with when you start making mods, as would be gold because there are many things you can do with it.
As a reply to someone who messaged me, thank you and I'm glad you enjoy the mod, I will add a tool info thing to the thread when I get a chance, for now, I'm going on my server to play some minecraft since I have been really busy making this mod :smile.gif:
