Dwarven Race

Prototype backstoryYou were once a proud hero of your Dwarven nation of Dwarfland. Happily living amon your Irish, drunken midget friends in total, ignorant bliss.
One day your king ordered pork chops, Not just any pork chops. Cooked ones
You need to leave your kingdom, find the pigs, treepunch them to death, then find some coal, But you can't do all of that In Dwarfland, you needed to go to Minecraftia
Upon the weak wooden Dwarvish sails, with your fleet of friends, you wen't, You crashed. You survived. Not anyone else, Not Beer McBurger pants, or anyone else, You fell to the powers of the island you couldn't dodge. Like those tricky ones in the birds eye view arcade kayaking games. You woke up stranded on the island. Determined to find the pork chops for you dwarvish master, but not only did you find porkschops. You found mountains, caves, deserts, and some other stuff need not say, while wandering about at night.You decided to stay, forge your own Dwarf fortress AND ORDER THE FINEST BACON AND PORK FROM YOUR FRONT DOOR [/spoiler]


Wood Elf Race
[spoiler]Racial Setback: Can only build on trees and in Forest Biome And can't use coal traditionally, Be enviromentally clean!
Racial Advantage: all classes have the option to play on easy
Elvish Archer - Setback: Can not use Swords Advantage: Can build Watch towers out of Forest Biomes

Elvish Builder - Setback: You can only build with Cobble Stone and Wood. And other naturally gained objects, no crafties. (Wooden Planks the exception) Advantage: Can build in Snow-forest biomes aswell

Elvish Warrior - Setback: Can not build underground ( Besides scaffolding) Advantage: Can tone the difficulty (Above peaceful) To the place of their choices

((MORE COMING FOR ELVISH RACE SOON!))

Prototype Story: You were a proud member of your Elvish clan in the Northern lands of Kaneeda. (Yes, that was intended) It was cold where you came from, And everyone was getting frostbite so you totally was like '' Oh ... cya. '' And ran down to the Forest Biomes to live your life out peacefully. [/spoiler]

Races I am thinking of adding:

[spoilerGnome, more technically advanced and smart, but even weaker.
Humans, a very basic race for traditional minecraft play in the modpack
Moon Elf, Much like a nightelf, But can only go outside during the night - I will have the race start out at nightfall - Has a common ''invisibilty from mobs'' so they can get around at the start, but they have their flaws, and can be seen if they get to close[/spoiler]
Reccomended Mods
[spoiler] Aether
Mo' Creatures
Mo' Wierdos
More Trees
Optifine
More Ores
Size Changing mods
((Any other fantasy immersion mods you want))
Tree Capitator
[/spoiler]


- Mrs Kyla Malik. Please contact me if you wan't me to do a day by day diary-form of this being completed, or a letsplay for the post. I plan on boosting this post and idea alot further, mods, custom maps etc. etc. Aslong as this idea hasn't been taken, in which case. Sorry for reposting.Update
HEY THERE. This got alot more popular, so I'm Kabooming up the whole project. Redoing the forum post, SIT TIGHT
If someone would like to make Dwarfcraft Sigs. please inform me before ya do so. I got plans for the sig, and would like some help, Also, I plan on putting it in spoilers and cleaning the post up a bit. Writing a disclaimer now.


Disclaimer: This is the property, of my bloody intellect. Please don't repost this everywhere, Links forsure. But This is my property, I thought it, dibs on the rep points.
I'm pretty sure I aced this Disclaimer, rite?

Sounds fun, starting up a new world right now.

Not that this challenge has already been posted, but I've done this before. I got the idea when there was this tiny I block tall tunnel in a mountain, and I thought, dwarves. I didn't do the stuff on this challenge, but I used like wood, stone, and dirt only. No glass, no redstone, no nuthin'. But that was a while ago... I might do this again. Thanks for the reminder

Thanks guys for saying it looks fun! and good thing it's never been posted before. Now, I'm posting a poll to add on to this, I hope you guys think the idea is fun, and I hope that BloodyEpic has a fun time experiencing it. I for one, have attempted this, and found it entertaining.
Edit:
I'm not doing a poll sorry, I've decided just to wait out for comments I may in the future though

This is how I always have played minecraft to be honest. I just dig big mines that go all over the place, even if running over land would be MUCH faster, however I do use redstone mainly because I see my 'dwarf' as someone that's more technically minded and uses any means possible to get that last bit of gold (to me, more valuable than diamonds)

The only things I do above ground is cows, trees and now, horses. However I keep mules in my mines now as the mines have gotten quite large, now over 1,000 x 1,000 x 3 levels branch mine...yes, I'm crazy.

Good way to play and lots of fun to do.

It's kinda fun trying it now

Looks very interesting! Support!

Thanks for all the support! :D.
I want to expand this further, If you have any ideas, you'd like me to include, don't be shy Doing some work on the post now.
Hope you like the end result

Adding some more ''classes today, Ontop of what I oriinally added, changing one rule and furthering some detail. Considering writing a prototype Backstory. PM me if the challenge is getting ruined with the new additions

Awesome sounding challenge! Just reading this makes me want to burrow into a mountain/the underground and make a huge dwarf city with lava rivers and blacksmiths and stuff! (I get inspired in an odd fashion)

Why can't other challenges be like this. Most are dumb like "You can only eat spider eyes because lolz"

Haha, Thanks for the support Bloody Epic. And I agree, that's why I make my own. Restrictions don't make the challenge, being creative and adding Advantages, using what's provided to change the goal of your game, Thats what I think is a challenge.
^^ Complete awesome speach mode right there.
But I have some questions for you guys while assembling the mod pack--
1. Backpack mod: Yes/no.
2. Aether: Yes/no. (When Aether 2 comes out)
I think Aether would be cool, and unique for this, I wan't to expand on the fantasy of my challenge, adding heights. And lastly:
What do you guys think about adding other races? Elves can only build in forest and on trees? I don't know, I need some more input and suggestions! Thanks!!

I've always wanted to try playing a "dwarf" like game but haven't done one yet as I haven't found one I really like but any should be fun... There have been a few others posted on here maybe you can get some ideas from to refine your rules etc.

Thanks! Really, Tempus those pages gave me ALOT of reference to how I wan't to rebuild the post, Changing the idea a little bit, making it more fantasy than Dwarf. I hope I don't advance it to much and make it bad If I screw this up, Tell me. please.

Work Implanted! HAVE FUN GUYS! I hope I didn't just ruin it

Working on furthering the Steve race, and the Elvish race, hoping to expand the modpack, Currently I just want some response from the modders :c I need their permissionEr... Steve race removed.

Nice imagination!

I was gonna suggest adding mods (like a height difference amongst the classes) but I see you're already on that.

Thank you all so much for your support, Currently working on putting together the modpack.
Current modpack Ideas
(Aether 2, Fantasy addition)
(Height change, to allow Dwarf sized people)
( Dwarfcraft The mod? I've been looking into seeing if I can make this a mod for the basic rules)
(Optifine)
(Classes mods) I got an offer earlier about producing a mod for the classes, rather then difficulty changes, you could pick a class, and just be stronger/weaker/cant sleeper :3. )
(Treecapitator, I hate farming treez)
NEED MORE SUGGESTIONS! <3. POST IDEAS BELOW/PM THEM TO ME.
(( I may make a new forum post for the modpack, This got alot more serious then I thought it would, So I plan on having that done soon))
And, sorry No I do not wan't NEI or Invedit forms on here, that destroys the point, if you'd like to explore invedit/whatever yourself, You may do so, by adding it yourself. Sorry to not be nice and considerate about it, But I really like people to play my challenge for what it is, besides, Why attempt a challenge if you're going to cheat?

New mods in the modpack! :P. Just need licensing now
Aether
Backpack mod
((Dwarfcraft underway! :D))
((Classes mods underway! ))
Optifine
More Ores
Equivalent Exchange
More trees
Mo' creatures

May add more!

- Declined usage of some of the core mods to this project, Hopefully I can still make it a modpack
