Ok to put things simple I talked about an idea for a mod a couple of months ago but recently I decide to make it, felt bored :)
At the moment it is just base class edits and I am learning to make it modloader compatible but it is in state where it can be used :)
there is a bit of work to do still mostly I need to learn how to slow down its growth rate and get minecraft to name it

There are changes I will make one I get it modloader compatible, one is to make it use the BTW anvil and require mostly BTW Items,
It will also take a long time to grow to balance it, the idea being the amount of time it takes to grow, you would easily get more by mining
And I will also properly change the Block ID

Goals
Make Modloader compatible(stuck :/)
Increase Growth Time of Iron Reed
Get minecraft to Name it in inventory
Add smeltable item instead of iron ingot
Add smeltable item recipe to iron nugget
Add recipe for 9 iron nuggets to become an iron ingot
Add to BTW Anvil
Add BTW items to Recipe

Installing
just extract the IronReed.7z, copy the resulting folder to your mod folders in your .minecraft folder

Mod Description
compatible with Better Then Wolves
It is basically Iron reed, Reed that gives you iron it also gives out light :)
The crafting recipe is

Now you get a special Harvested Version of reed you need to smelt this to create an iron nugget after this 9 iron nuggets make an iron ingot


You have plant it on netherack next to lava or lava flow
When you destroy a piece of Iron Reed, it drops an iron ingot (for now)

Flatworld Generator Mods
If interested the script is called chunkproviderflat
to install these you need to copy the file inside the folder to your minecraft jar
the first one in the archive makes it so it generator 64 layers of stone,dirt,obsidian, lava below you,

the second one Is my personal one it does the same as above as well as reactivating generation of mineshafts and strongholds

What does it mean for one, slimes dont spawn everywhere and it adds more interesting underground Terrain

I have placed all my mods in one archive for downloading

Did you setup the Java environment? I am not referring to MCP, but the Java classes provided by Sun as part of the Java platform.

[lostone1993]

I dont quite get what you mean, If you mean the JDK then yes If the java EE also yes

If that was the case wouldent The class edits I normally do, would not compile ?

[PatrickSJ]

Which version did you setup? I believe Minecraft requires 1.5, but if you are compiling against 1.6 and didn't set that up correctly then you would get that error.

Edit:
Enter java -version, what do you get?

Naah, that's just a warning. The error is way simpler than that.

You have to implement the abstract load() method. That's what missing.

[lostone1993]

so all I need is this ?
public void load()

and this is what my final code should look like ?

Doh! I didn't see the part that said "does not override abstract method load()".

I think the mod is too powerful atm what do you think i need to change to make it balanced ?

[Gargantuan_Penguin]

I think the mod is too powerful atm what do you think i need to change to make it balanced ?

possibly make them extremely difficult to harvest. or they hurt you like a cactus. thats the extent of my brainstorm atm.

Grind the iron somehow into dust, infuse it into reeds via the use of souls, and plant!
Also, make it drop 0-1 peices of iron nuggets, and 9 iron nuggets = 1 iron!

I'd say you have to "mine" it like iron, via a pickaxe. Not sure i agree on the cactus part... hmmm. im kinda 50/50 on that. good ideas tho.

Also, make it drop 0-1 peices of iron nuggets, and 9 iron nuggets = 1 iron!

This I agree whole heartedly on, tho make it drop 1, maaaaybe 2 nuggets. Seeing as it has to be near lava. chance of the nugget falling into lava should be taken into account.



Aaaaaand... I completly forgot my idea... sunova. Will edit when i remember, or post further down.

[lostone1993]

Updated, I think I am getting close to balanced
