I like to fancy myself a somewhat decent "pixel-artist" due to all the little texture changes I've made here and there, and I even like to think im just a tad bit tech savvy from switching files around all day to make mods work. However, when it actually comes to modding a code or changing even something simple i'm practically in the dark.
That's why i'm totally asking someone right now if they can make a mod for me.
What I ask for sounds simple to me, but again, I know nothing about coding so it might actually be difficult. Regardless...
The boots would be made as such: (Gold Ingot is in place for golden boots)
]" title="-<->" /> [] ]" title="-<->" />
]" title="-<->" /> ]" title="-<->" />
]" title="-<->" /> [] ]" title="-<->" />
Once crafted and equiped, These boots would slow a players descent in air to the speed of sinking underwater. This would allow players to either fall from great heights safely or simply allow the player to ignore that annoying downhill damage. (whats the deal with that, anyway.) It's also a great use for the ever so useless gold, so what the heck.
To top it off, (because i'm totally demanding like that) I ask that the boots be given durability because being able to walk around forever unafraid of heights after 4 gold blocks is a bit much. The way that this could be counted (maybe using iron boots durability?) is after the player has safely touched ground, the mod will run a check to see how many blocks the player 'fell', and then assess damage to the boots accordingly. So a big fall will still pretty much demolish the boots, but hell at least you're safe. (gaming balance gogogo)
Again, I don't want to ask alot of any modder out there actually willing to do a request...So I went ahead and made a (quick) Icon of what the boots would look like when finished. If this idea actually goes anywhere, I'll gladly make boots for any texture pack.
OMG. I got THE Dougbenham to accept my mod. :ohmy.gif: I might feint...
Seriously though, I appreciate this. If I can do anything to help lemme know.
@1ian5: Thanks! I thought 'Why make the person who's about to spend serious time coding do everything?' and 'WOW I'M SO BORED'. I'm really glad people like this idea, though. :3 Also, I enjoy me some orange.
In the spirit of collaborating, I'll further explain the "feather fall" thing. As soon as I read your post I remembered this one spell from an rpg, it was called Feather Fall (the spell, not the game), which does pretty much what you described (negates fall damage).
Anyway, I just didn't want to leave my post of mine hanging there as if I was just spouting nonsense or something.
The idea of slime boots was tossed around before, why not use slime and call it that? Sorda makes sense, though I still have yet to ever see a slime in this game since buying it 6 months ago.
These boots need a counter part... and i just have the perfect one...
the boots of failing protection... you put them on and you get hurted more from... pretty much everything...
nah that's too soft... what about... you put them on and you instantly jump above the clouds just to fall to the ground and die a miserable, horrible, humiliating death...

DAS BOOTS:
I really hope someone picks this idea up. :3
I am naming them Hermes Boots and they will be constructed like this:
Almost everything is done. I still need to make it variable durability loss depending on the height of the jump. Also, you need to design the graphical part of the boots. So like if you press F5 to view your character, currently it just shows nothin. They are located in the 'armor' folder in the minecraft jar. These 2 pictures are examples for the diamond set of armor. I just need you to draw the boots part for the hermes boots. If you don't want to, we can just leave it out and it won't show any boots on.
Hey thanks, Doug! This all happened way faster than I expected.
Anyways, I added wings onto the template. Looks pretty good imo, but I just wish they looked more like wings and not some crazy "side of my shoe" blade.
Here's a picture I took as a proof-of-concept using gold boots. There's a wee bit more shading on the template above than in the picture.

I cant help you but i think its great that you have done everything but functionality.
The graphic.
The concept.
The recipe.
I think someone should go threw with this.
P.S. I like crimson text!
Seriously though, I appreciate this. If I can do anything to help lemme know.

Nah you pick it.
Featherfall Boots!
[/bursts in]
Mega-Osm-Orbital-Negating boots
also known as M.O.O.N boots.
Ninja'd: Or featherfall boots, if it fits. makes me think .
Forgotten: Painterly astro/moon/featherfall boots- Black to show wings.
Anyway, I just didn't want to leave my post of mine hanging there as if I was just spouting nonsense or something.
BOOTS OF HERMES!!!
Take your time. I'm still shocked someone picked up the idea so fast, so i'm definately in no rush.
Into the cellar! There's a ternader a'comin!
Did you just steal code from the chicken falling? That's what I was planning on doing.
Mind=blown. This is why I don't even try to code.
Nope.
the boots of failing protection... you put them on and you get hurted more from... pretty much everything...
nah that's too soft... what about... you put them on and you instantly jump above the clouds just to fall to the ground and die a miserable, horrible, humiliating death...
