So basically, one day I was thinking: what if some of the useful but kind of irritating blocks in Minecraft had a hard-to-get but really awesome version? Out of that idea came this mod.
THE MODCurrent Version: 1.1, for Minecraft 1.5.2
Basically, this mod introduces five new blocks (possibly more to come later), which are upgraded versions of the original block. Each one of them is crafted with iron ingots in the corners, wood planks (any type will do) in the sides, and a certain object in the middle. This recipe gives you one of {insert block name here}. All of the blocks below can be broken pretty quickly (using a tool does NOT increase braking speed) AND they emit decent amounts of light.
NOTE: the blocks labelled WIP have not yet been implemented into the download.
BLOCK 1: SPEED Block in the middle: ice (Yes, I know ice is hard to get, but it will be worth it. Trust me.) What it does: it has a slipperiness of 3.0. For those of you who aren’t modders, this means that this block will shoot you around ten blocks forwards. It also fires items in a similar manner.
BLOCK 2: SLOW Block in the middle: soul sand What it does: it does basically the opposite of Speed. It shoots you backwards. This can create some really interesting effects.
BLOCK 3: SPIKY Block in the middle: cactus What it does: kind of like cactus, except WAY better. It does more damage and can be placed on anything. Also, it doesn't matter if there's anything next to it. It doesn't destroy items.
BLOCK 4: STRONG Block in the middle: obsidian What it does: actually this does nothing new. It has the same blast resistance as normal obsidian. But just like all the other blocks in this mod, it can be broken by hand fairly quickly.
BLOCK 5: SPARKY Block in the middle: lava bucket (Yes, I'm aware that lava buckets are items, not blocks) What it does: it burns you. When you first make this, it seems to do the same thing as Spiky, but in reality it's fire damage. So if you have fire resistance, it does nothing to you.
BLOCK 6: SPRINGY Block in the middle: slimeball (yes, I know that this is an item) What it does: super duper bouncy! It bounces you four blocks. Pretty fun.
BLOCK 7: SPONGE (WIP, development on hiatus) Block in the middle: empty bucket (YES I KNOW THIS IS AN ITEM) What it does: same function as the sponge used to have: it drains liquds in the surrounding area.
SCREENSHOTS

STUFF I NEED TO DO if you know how to do any of this, please leave a comment.
name the blocks (it would be cool if you could help translate the block names)
figure out why the sparky block burns fireproof mobs too
figure out how to add new textures directly into the mod
Number 3 is pretty straight forward the textures must be stored in .../textures/blocks/ folder in minecraft.jar or if your mod goes in the mods folder they can be in the same folder in the mod zip file. For testing in mcp you can just use a texurepack.
By default the block looks for a texture with the same name as its unlocalizedname given to it when it is declared.
par1IconRegister.registerIcon() takes one argument the name of the texture file. It can be anything you want. You can also register as many textures as you like and store them how you like. Here I am using an list of arrays to store them and registering 4 textures for each sub-block.
To make the block use the texture simply return the correct texture in the getBlockTexture() method
public Icon getBlockTexture(IBlockAccess par1IBlockAccess, int x, int y, int z, int side) {
int Metadata = par1IBlockAccess.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z);
if (Metadata < 0 || Metadata >= SubTextures.size()) {
Metadata = 0;
}
return SubTextures.get(Metadata)[0];
}
Edit:
It may be better to use the getIcon() method instead getBlockTexture() just calls that by default.
public Icon getIcon(int side, int metadata) {
if (metadata < 0 || metadata >= SubTextures.size()) {
metadata = 0;
}
return SubTextures.get(metadata)[0];
}

Simple but still a good idea. Instead of wood borders do a glow effect or something that makes it look 'powerful'.
that would look pretty darn col, but the thing is, the recipie is designed to kind of look like the final product, in a sense. so retexturing it would imply that i would have to change the recipie. changing it is easy, i just don't know what to change it to. but if you could give me some ideas, this could be considered.

Also the link is broken, click the one below. I will fix this soon.
hey, just wondering, would you people prefer the recipe to give 1 or 2 of the block? i'm not really asking for personal preferences here, i'm asking which do you think would be better overall, in terms of not being too overpowered, but not too rare sort of thing.
sorry, it does. i was originally going to make it so it didn't, but i can't figure out how.
...
For that you could just check if the entity is an item before damaging it:
public void onEntityCollidedWithBlock(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, Entity par5Entity)
{
if (!(par5Entity instanceof EntityItem)) {
par5Entity.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.cactus, 1);
}
}
I'm not sure whether it will work but its worth a try.

Yes it is but the getIcon() method may be called getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata() if you have not updated mcp recently.

oh. thanks! but what do you mean by updating mcp "recently"? my current mcp is for minecraft 1.4.6.

If you are using modloader or forge you could keep a backup of your mods java files, then most changes would be just in method names and texture code.
My enter key is working fine, so I don't know what it could be, maybe try using a different browser.

okay then, thanks but i found a solution. there's this thing called MCnostalgia, and you can use it to get older versions of minecraft. so i guess i'll try out my mod with that first, and if it works, i'll update it to 1.5.1.
also, i tried using enter on google chrome, and it worked just fine. so lots of thanks, i guess!
BREAKING NEWS! THE MOD IS COMPLETE AND THE 1.5 COMPATIBLE VERSION WILL BE OUT WITHIN A WEEK!
nevermind, the textures are derping up, it'll take a while to fix it. but the untextured version will be out as soon as i figure out how to post a dwnload link on this,

Curse PremiumI know it's a mod, I was implying that the idea behind it is neat.
I meant are the blocks all separate IDs or are they one id with different metadata?

that would be really cool.
Number 3 is pretty straight forward the textures must be stored in .../textures/blocks/ folder in minecraft.jar or if your mod goes in the mods folder they can be in the same folder in the mod zip file. For testing in mcp you can just use a texurepack.
By default the block looks for a texture with the same name as its unlocalizedname given to it when it is declared.
To specify custom textures for a block:
Look at the registerIcons method:
public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister) { SubTextures = new ArrayList<Icon[]>(); for (int i = 0; i < subTypes.length; i++) { SubTextures.add(new Icon[] { par1IconRegister.registerIcon(getUnlocalizedName().substring(5) + "_" + subTypes[i]), par1IconRegister.registerIcon(getUnlocalizedName().substring(5) + "_" + subTypes[i] + "_bottom"), par1IconRegister.registerIcon(getUnlocalizedName().substring(5) + "_" + subTypes[i] + "_top"), par1IconRegister.registerIcon(getUnlocalizedName().substring(5) + "_" + subTypes[i] + "_mid")} ); } }par1IconRegister.registerIcon() takes one argument the name of the texture file. It can be anything you want. You can also register as many textures as you like and store them how you like. Here I am using an list of arrays to store them and registering 4 textures for each sub-block.
To make the block use the texture simply return the correct texture in the getBlockTexture() method
public Icon getBlockTexture(IBlockAccess par1IBlockAccess, int x, int y, int z, int side) { int Metadata = par1IBlockAccess.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z); if (Metadata < 0 || Metadata >= SubTextures.size()) { Metadata = 0; } return SubTextures.get(Metadata)[0]; }Edit:
It may be better to use the getIcon() method instead getBlockTexture() just calls that by default.
public Icon getIcon(int side, int metadata) { if (metadata < 0 || metadata >= SubTextures.size()) { metadata = 0; } return SubTextures.get(metadata)[0]; }And thats it. Enjoy modding.
