For anyone who might be worried about running speed, it's fine for me and my computer isn't exactly fast:

2ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
ATi Radeon HD2400
MacOS 10.6 (Not sure if the OS makes any difference but you never know)
 
You rock Mog!!

Pretty!!

NYAAAAAARGH I've just spent ages editing my Minecraft.jar file only to find that MyCraft now no longer works! This is absolutely infuriating :banghead: Anyone got any suggestions as to what might be causing it to get stuck on 'Loading Hooks'?

On a lighter note though, the mod is very very pretty:

Ok, here's the thing. MyCraft isn't just a new MineCraft client where you can fly. It's a 'mod manager' which means it automatically installs mods for you. Firstly, I'm assuming you're on a Mac and run the 'MyCraft.jar' when you play.

When you download MyCraft and un-zip the zip file, there should be 4 files. MyCraft.exe, MyCraft.jar, ReadMe, mods. Put all your mods in the mods folder and let MyCraft do the job. If you install it in the MC.jar it will screw things up really badly. So, to fix it:

1. Delete your entire MC.jar (bin, resorses, everything except your saves, texturepacks and screenshots if you want to keep them).

2. Go into normal MineCraft. At the login screen press 'Options', then press 'Force Update'. Let the game re-download a fresh, vanilla MC.jar for you. Exit that.

3. Place your mods (modloader, watershader, audomod, whatever) in that folder. DO NOT place the files, just un-zip the mods and place the folder in 'mods'.

4. Fire up 'MyCraft.jar' and you should be ready to rock and roll. I know this is one big wall of text but once you get the hang of modding, you realize how simple it is, and how much simpler it is with MyCraft.


P.S. I use Mac and have been screwing with Mods for a while too, I feel your pain. But, they're even harder to create...my moon mod hasn't gone to plan XD
 
Thanks for the guide tlowr. May come in handy. :)

It'd be interesting to see your moon mod as well.
 
Luckily I kept a 'vanilla' version of Minecraft.jar backed up in case of situations just like this so that's easy enough. Thanks for the help :) Everything is now working as it should!

Here's some eye candy from the mod:

Oh my gosh. Forget the girl, I think I've fallen in love with that mod. My system is a bit too on the weak side though, to run something like that. I need another 2 gigs of RAM...

No. It's mainly ask the admin for items. :/

Otherwise it's legit stuff or imported.

Decided to take pictures of my house. Still a work in progress though. It's a A-Frame house style from the USA that I've built some ideas over.

This will be quite a premium house compared to the ones I've made before.

Fantastic looking mod. I haven't tried mods at all, think I might try some out tonight with some free time I have here.

Are we seriously starting this up again? Grow up and take it else where as you were told. Last time I checked text speech and abbreviations still weren't allowed on these forums either...
 
Quick noob question-What's the minecraft.jar and how do I get to it? I haven't bothered with mods before so I don't know :sick:

Nick that house looks sweet! What's the asking price? :p

I'll probably be expanding my country cottage into a country mansion soon. Should I go for a modern extension (keeping with planks and glass) or just more of the same?

You access it through the Bin folder inside the Minecraft folder.

If you're unaware on how to get to it's whereabouts, I'll tell you in easy steps,

  1. Go to the Start Menu
  2. Left Click the search bar
  3. Type %appdata%/.minecraft
  4. Open the bin folder
  5. Look for Minecraft.Jar

Simple.

OK, thanks
 
Using MyCraft to add mods is much easier though, as tlowr pointed out to me!

22 bucks gets you the full game, with single and multi player. Everything you need to get online and join our server is there right from the off. In single player you have the option to turn the game to 'Peaceful' mode which means no enemies and your health regenerates. If you leave it on Normal or Easy, you will get enemies spawning when it gets dark.

No matter what game type you choose, you will always start with nothing. Joining the GTP server is handy for learning as it rarely turns night time due to our time changing mods (They're installed on the server, no need for you to install them yourself) but it might be worth playing a single player game set to 'Peaceful' first just to get the hang of crafting.

There will be a full version, and it's coming in November I believe. Buying the game now means you will get the full version when it's released, so the money saved is definitely worth it IMO.

I hope this helps, if you have any more questions just ask away :)

Gee thanks! It's nice when somebody gives a complete, informative answer.

You're both right, 22 bucks is dece. I was watching that series and I know that, even if the game has mods, I want to play it very simple, from the start, like they did. It's amazing that a game that looks this ridiculous and low-tech, and one that is this simple, probably held the highest tension for me in almost any game I've ever played (or just watched being played), as they dashed to make a house out of wood in time. This should be fun...

So, I guess one or two more questions, if you please.

Will I be able to use my headset (Earforce P11), more specifically, the mic, to talk during multiplayer?

Will I be able to run it fullscreen, or will it be windowed?

Also, for the payment options in Canada, what could you possibly recommend other than a credit card? A) I don't have one. B) I don't want to ask my parents (shutup) and C) Neither me nor my parents like giving out our credit card number(s). Will they accept a preloaded credit card, like one that you could get at Money Mart? I guess I'll check the website again, but thanks for the answers.

Probably deff getting this game. Annoyingly, now I'll have even less time to play all those other great games I have, and I've barely even started into Oblivion...but I wanted to get Skyrim, too...I guess it doesn't matter if I get that one late, though, because there's no multiplayer, so the game can be enjoyed at any time after its release without getting deserted by the multiplayer community.

Anyway, off topic. Will look into getting this. Looks awesome.
