Hey All, thanks for checking out my version of a Shape Shifter mod. I owe everything to my five year old son because without him I would never have tried to modify the Minecraft source code.
I don't have enough time to keep this post updated as well as Planet minecraft, so head on over there for updated info. Also I check PMC much more often so if you have any questions or comments post them there for quicker response.
As far as Forge compatibility, it is unlikely. I couldn't find any of the appropriate hooks to write a proper forge mod that drops into the mods folder. For me, it is much more difficult to figure out the forge way of doing things. However it was relatively easy for me to hack up the base source code. I do spend a little bit of time here and there reading about forge and trying to find some good tutorials, but there aren't that many.
After I get 100% done (all abilities) then I will think about adding new content and mobs to the game.
But I can't support several versions at once, it's just too much. I work full time (yes, programming job) and a single dad so really it's amazing I have accomplished anything.
Very, very understandable.
I'm sure, even though it's unspoken as of late, everyone is extremely grateful for your time to this mod.
And, if you want to build popularity, i think forge is the way to go. But seeing as you have been struggling maybe look at the problem with the compatibility with forge, and try and fix that?
Forge is compatible with alot of modloader mods, So instead of making it a forge mod, try making it compatible.
Love your work, and i hope all is well.

Stop treating mod devs poorly. These people mod as a hobby or as a service to the community, they don't have to take your suggestion and you are not entitled to anything from them.
This is a great mod, but I agree with Dangeresque486. The recipes should be more expensive because the benefits of the mod are so huge that you need to sacrifice a lot more to get those benefits.
