Suggestion for GUI:

Extraction: Could be leveled by smelting items in the furnace. The old method should still be used, but should give a much larger amount of experience than the furnace, making it worthwhile. While it is a very useful skill, I never though the rewards lived up to the amount of grind, and I end up using skill crystals instead once it reaches level 15.

Vulcanism: The Vulcane is quite a viable weapon, doing high true damage against the target and having some useful effects. However, when first receiving the item at level 1 Vulcanism, I am usually at the point of game where the Vulcane base damage is meaningless. Making it so that there is a chance to gain experience when taking a hit would fit with the skill, being the skill of revenge, and would make it so the Vulcane is viable from the moment it is obtained. Also, lower level multiplier increments should be increased.

Logging: Cutting down trees doesn't happen quite as much as mining, especially late game. The fact that the drops are the same as Foraging does not improve the chance of the player bothering any further. I think there are two options for this skills; to add in several items that belong only to logging (seeds, fruits, saplings) or adding a different way to level it up. I would suggest being able to feed logs into a certain device, with a high chance of granting experience and items.

Hauling: We can all agree that fishing may just be the most boring aspect of minecraft. A lot of good items can be obtained through Hauling, but I've always felt that leveling it was a bit of a pain. To improve on this, I suggest expanding the underwater traveling in general, adding more aquatic mobs and making new fishing systems (Diving, automated fishers, nets, fish traders). Of course, I don't know yet where you're going with your new water dimension, so I'll wait for that. Also, the fishes should do something other than healing and hunger. They could have different effects, and some of them can even be weapons and tools. (200kg Frozen Tuna mace seems legit)

Eldritch Exhibits

The Exhibits contain various structures that showcase the most recent works of Nikola. Entire hospitals, schools and museums have been built by this man; not to mention, with human flesh and bones as the materials. While no living things should roam the structures, you cannot shake the feeling that the mannequins and paintings are watching you.

Bloody Marshes

Blood flows instead of water in the galleries. The Bloody Marshes are filled with the remains of the victims; Nikola, not much of an efficient man, often immediately disposes of his resources after finishing an artwork. The corpses now aimlessly float in the marshes, a warning sign to any adventurer still continuing their journey.

Dark Plains

At perpetual night, the Dark Plains are surrounded by an ominous black fog. Sacrificial altars and ritualistic symbols are a common sign; it is obvious that black magic is practiced here. Within the fog, you can feel a presence akin to those from the Abyss, Dustopia and Greckon, the smell of chaos and destruction, the familiar chill down your spine.

Hospital Exhibit

The Hospital Exhibits are almost an exact recreation of a hospital. Excepting that blood is flowing through the hallways, the surgery rooms all show a creative way of dissecting a human being and that there are corpses on every wall, floor and even the ceiling.

Painting Exhibit

This rather small exhibit exclusively showcases the paintings of the mad artist. The predominant color for these paintings are red, and the smell of iron from the buckets of paint confirm your assumption.

School Exhibit

The most prominent aspect of this exhibit is the experiment with different furniture; the chairs, desks and shelves are all made from human flesh and bone. As you turn away from the abominations, you can swear that you hear voices crying out in pain and agony.

Torment Exhibit

The exhibits featuring various torture devices that Nikola uses to toy with his victims. One can only imagine how many people have fallen victim to such devices. You quickly turn to leave, but the creaking noises suggest you may not be the only animate being in the structure.

Museum Exhibit

Perhaps the display of his art that Nikola is most proud about, the Museum Exhibits show how far a human being can plunge into insanity. Containing his most creative paintings and sculptures, this exhibit is not one that is easy to forget.

Sacrificial Altar

These altars are placed across the Dark Plains, covered in the remains of those sacrificed in horrific ways. The bright red pentagrams that are still wet indicate that the ritual was conducted not long ago.

Diabolist Shrine

A structure pulsating with dark energy. Even though you know that the energy had been gathered through unspeakable means, you cannot shake the feeling that it may be of some use.

R’lyeh Gate

A gate leading to the deep abyss. Peering into the gate, you see only darkness. Seemingly a one way gate, you cannot pass through to the realm within; however, you can hear the growls of the inhabitants of the otherworld, eager to rush through and cause carnage and destruction.

House of Mirrors

In every direction you face, you see a reflection of yourself. Clean and polished, the room seems nothing like the horrible artwork littered across the world. The contrast is eerie and strange, and just as you settle down for a brief rest, you can hear the maniacal laughter of a madman echoing throughout the building.

Floating Tools

Nikola took “a blade forged from the blood of your enemies” too seriously, and forged all of his tools from the iron extracted from the bloods of his victims. Eternally haunted by the souls of those who perished, the animate tools do a deadly amount of damage which ignores any physical blockage.

Faceless Mannequins

All mannequins featured in the exhibits are made of human bone. It is not strange that a few of them are inhibited with the spirits of the materials. These animate mannequins move with a single purpose; to tear apart whatever living thing that comes in sight.

Howler Mannequins

The howlers are a special, slightly rarer type of mannequin. Instead of lunging at the player on sight, they masquerade as inanimate, harmless mannequins. However, the moment the player averts his gaze, they pounce on the player with a horrible screech that makes your senses go haywire.

Surgeon Mannequins

Found exclusively in the hospital exhibits, the surgeon mannequins are equipped with many tools fit for dissecting a human. Taking any hits from them cause huge impairments to the player’s ability to move and fight. After taking enough damage, they will cut their own bodies open, revealing the gruesome mess hidden within.

Haunted Paintings

With a canvas of skin and painting of blood, these haunted drawings can cast a certain degree of black magic. Creating small rifts in space, the paintings can teleport the player against their will, teleport themselves to avoid the projectile attacks of the player or fire projectiles of dark energy.

Living Furniture

Through some twisted trick of dark magic, the people sewn into these furniture are still alive; alive, but driven mad with pain and fear. The spells placed on them links them to nearby mannequins, shifting the damage taken by them to the furniture. The inhuman screams of the furniture as it takes damage makes it an encounter that is hard to erase from your mind.

Breaking Wheel

A medieval torture device revived by the madman, the breaking wheel attaches itself to you and spins around, doing constant damage while constantly shifting your angle of vision. There is no coup de grace in this painful and prolonged death.

Abomination

A sculpture with many heads and arms, the abomination is built from various parts of many different victims. Infused with dark magic, it makes the ground near it erupt with spikes of bone, and it can assimilate other monstrosities into it to regenerate and gain abilities.

Ghoul

Those who were once alive, now simply another corpse at the bottom of the marshes. Ghouls move slowly, but they act in swarms. While one attack may seem insignificant, they slowly erode away at the player, destroying his armor and the ability to fight back.

Bloodfeeder

The Bloodfeeders are a batch of lesser demons which took residence in the marshes. Feeding off what remains of the corpses, they are in a constant lookout for fresh victims to sate their hunger. Each and every attack makes them stronger, empowering themselves from the blood of their victims.

Shadow Spawn

Lesser demons commonly found in the Dark Plains, they use the fog as their cover to hunt any unsuspecting adventurers. They specialize in trap magic, placing various traps to hinder and dispatch their enemies.

Fear Elemental

The Fear Elementals are a higher class of demons that manipulate the fear of their targets. Conjuring illusions and hallucinations, they drive their victims into insanity, ready to finish them off with a quick swipe of its tentacles.

Butcher Golem

The product of binding a demon soul to a vessel of human flesh, the golems have an appallingly high durability. They dismember any nearby humans with their massive cleavers and are adept users of black magic, creating chains of darkness that binds its victims in place.

The Ripper

A few years ago, a very talented adventurer traversed the galleries. Witnessing the horrific acts, he was driven insane, but not rendered weak. He aimlessly travels the world, dispatching obstructions with ease, demons and humans alike. It is said that he was very talented with his knife, disemboweling his enemies in a matter of seconds.

Ancient One

Ruler behind the Gate

The Ancient One is a deity worshipped by many demonic cults. One of the oldest demons in existence, it can only be brought forth with the most complicated of rituals with the finest offerings. Unable to fully materialize outside of its abode, it takes the shape of a torso of a tentacled giant. Its diverse knowledge of the dark arts and its ability to manipulate the minds of those who oppose it makes it an extremely dangerous foe.

Nikola Spiegelmann

Madman in the Mirror

The mad artist himself, Nikola is very able with both conventional fighting methods and black magic. He casts many sophisticated spells, some of them being his own invention, and wields his knife in an unpredictable pattern. However, he is most proud of his mirror magic, using mirrors to travel quickly, create illusions and trapping his enemies within mirrors. Demonic power and human creativity have always made a unique mix, and adding Nikola’s own twist to both makes him a very unpredictable fighter.

Diabolism

The art of manipulating demonic souls to conduct rituals. Hunting the mobs controlled by Erebon will grant the player souls that he can sacrifice to the Soul Altar to gain soul energy. These soul energies can be used with some other items to cast rituals to aid the player in different ways. However, dealing with the demons come with a price; there will always be a certain drawback to any ritual. Diabolism can be leveled by sacrificing the souls and casting rituals, and higher levels grant access to higher rituals.

Ritual of Plane Warping I ~ X

The series of rituals known as the Rituals of Plane Warping warps the mind of the player, allowing them to see into higher planes of existence. When using this ritual, the drop rate and amount of items and experience will increase, the degree depending on the level of ritual. However, the player will take more damage, deal less damage, and have other negative effects depending on the level of ritual.

Finished textures for metals, although I probably will add more in the future. The tiers aren't set in stone at the moment, but right now its Copper < Brass < Iron < Steel. Aluminum and Zinc will have mostly decorative uses.

Finished textures for gears, compasses and clocks. Also started work on metallurgy and alloying, you can see the texture for the device at the bottom.

After much researching and debating with my friend, I have decided to add a metallurgy system in this mod to make alloying less awkward. Most of the core stuff is done, I should be able to get working on mobs and weapons soon.

After adding a bit of realism with the metallurgy system, I thought to add realistic ores as well. Also, I have added a few new metals to have a more steady progression, raising the number of metal types in this mod to 10.

Done the ore block textures for all 15 ores now, I just need to work on the machines and I'll start on the interesting stuff.

All the ores and stuff are happily inside minecraft now, just a bit more mechanics and the alpha release will be finished.

The model for the Airship mob/mount. Kudos to our modeler/texturer Gogoms for the creation of this awesome model.

Failure to comply with rules will result in various consequences.

Most of these should be common sense, but for fairness to everybody they will be listed out here.

1. No Griefing
Even though this shouldn't be possible due to plugins that prevent grief prevention as well as house claiming, do not grief people, it's pointless, immature and silly.

2. No Stealing
Do not steal from people. If they don't lock their chest, don't take stuff from it without their permission.

3. No PVP
Only PVP somebody if they accept the fight in the first place. Currently there are no PVP hours.

4. No admin Impersonation
Don't pretend you are an admin. There is no point.

5. No Cheating
Hacking/glitching/bug abuse of any kind is not tolerated. If you are one who points out cheaters or glitches/bugs within the server or the mod,
there may very well be some kind of reward.

6. Respect
Treat people nicely even if you don't wish to be treated nicely. We maintain a welcoming environment on the server.

7. No Outline Claiming
Do not claim blocks in an outline of what you want to be your house. You must claim your house and not an outline of it.

8. No Automatic Mob Farms
This one is a bit different but there is a reason this rule is in place. Due to the adventure style play that is on the server where player's can earn their rewards by fighting monsters, it would be best if all players actually fight the monsters. When there is several mob farms running at the same time it ruins the experience as well as creates lag. Non-automatic mob farms are allowed. If you need any clarification on this rule, don't hesitate to ask.

9. Have Fun
It's cliche but do it anyway. Your stay will be much more enjoyable if you do.
