After getting tired of using other mods to get items in peaceful mode that are normally only available in easy-hard modes, I decided to try my hand at modding. The style I decided to go with was using dyes to make different vanilla items. As this is my first mod and I have zero java experience prior to this(some basic c++ tho), I hope to get feedback from the community to improve on it as well as modding advice on how to better code it.

This mod adds the ability to turn the primary colors of wool into dye(White, Black, Brown, Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow)
These are dyes that cannot be made using different dye combinations. EX: Red + Yellow = Purple while Yellow + Blue != Green(I add this in tho :))

Further, it adds recipes to turn the dye into items.

Recipes: Wool to Dye + Dye to Hostile Mob Drops

Recipes: Nether Blocks/Items





This "should" work on servers, if the server has it installed.


This does not add new blocks/items. You can remove/add the mod from/to existing worlds without consequence(lose the recipes tho derp)





Here's the Download.
This version seems to be compatible with 1.7.2 as well.

One of the hidden points of the mod is that it doesn't add in modded items, blocks, dimensions, etc. The reason for that is that it simply allows server owners/players to add/remove the mod without item loss. Besides that, a 3/3 ratio on dye to dust would in effect be pointless, unless the current recipes conflict with another mod. If any of my recipes conflict with a mod and that mod was released prior to mine, I will gladly change the recipe. I do have plans to nerf quite a few recipes, starting withe the wool2dye as it gives a painstaking way to duplicate any dye without shearing further sheep. With the reduced rates, I will simplify some of the harder recipes and complicate some of the simpler ones to get balance, I will either remove the nether star recipe or change it to a blend of dyes and other harder to obtain vanilla items. Everything should be released in about 3-4 days.

I love programming but I am a C++ baby, java gives me a headache(before and after compile). This is my first attempt at java coding at all and so far I only get basic syntax, my code would probably make a seasoned coder's eyes feel dirty. can do: recipies and basic blocks/items. maybe someday: config and advanced scripting, Sorry .

This may sound selfish, but, as this is my first mod, I can use all the reputation I can get. Original clicks/Dl's == popularity So, for now the answer to mod packs is no. I want to reach at least 500 downloads from curse before allowing the mod to be redistributed elsewhere.

I've uploaded a new version

wool to dye recipes now only yield one dye

removed nether star recipe for now, I'll bring it back with a harder recipe depending on community feedback

changed Blaze rod, spider eye, string, enderpearl, and slimeball recipes

I will upload the images later today or early tomorrow

Had a feeling this would be the case for some people. Recipe images are still for prior versions.
