Renegades Brand Server Mods

[skoch26]

Hey guys,
So as some of you know I do a bit of programming myself and have toyed around a bit with minecraft mods. I had a thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea if Renegades had a few extra perks (as in mods) that other servers would not. Now keep in mind I do all of the coding myself and some of you can side with me that developing a program takes time. A lot of time.

This is my production thread that I will update now and then to talk about any progress I have made in my coding.

Current Projects:
Sun block mod:
A mod Vodka thought of. You craft a jar looking block, place it outside and after a few days is will change into a block that has a light level equal to the sun and glowstone. You can also craft an item that you can hold that constantly gives off light as you hold it.
Progress: I have the blocks made and they do change, but the item is causing me some trouble; putting on hold until i figure out the tick update issue.

Multi Texture Pack Mod:
Allows you to upload multiple texture packs and place the blocks from several texture packs with in the same world.
Progress: It works with 2 texture packs. Kinda unstable with bukkit so i might need to use a Spout base.

Please post ideas below as well as comments, questions and concerns.

NOTICE:
I have been getting questions on the best way to get into coding. I highly suggest beginning with a language called Python. You can download here http://python.org/. I began coding with Python and I know several people who have as well. I also found some beginner tutorials that I think really help you learn the basics behind coding http://www.sthurlow.com/python/. Also if your high school/university offers any programming courses, those are always the best option. All programming languages are different, but the math and science are the same in everyone, so what you learn can be applied to almost any language.

What I'd like is a way to push new blocks to players. So we could for example on our creative servers have multiple texture packs loaded in to the server and when players open the inventory they see the normal texture packed blocks but also several others and all can be placed at the same time.

Maybe you can make a server and client mod for this? I think if you did that you should release it to the whole of minecraft (perhaps using Spout as a base?) and then our server could simply be linked in to your thread saying "Hey I play here, this is a good server" that would gain us more publicity than if we were just the only server with mods you make I Think.

Also I'm happy to install mods that you yourself make skoch as I trust you.

You could brand it as RenegadeFurniture, although that sounds like its gonna start hurting people if you sit on it.

I wish you the best of luck with this project skoch and if I have any ideas I will be sure to post then.

Pri, do you mean like in this video, but available straight from the inventory in creative?

That looks great but the vial is infact called The Star of Eärendil.
As for cooking recipes if you have some left over rice, fry up a small red onion, some meat (can be anything really) and then tip the rice and some sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce and you have a great small meal.

Last night I also had an idea for a mod.
Basically all I was thinking is to have a way for a member of staff to leave a message for an offline player. I dont know how this would work exactly but the message would have to display when they log in. This would be useful if you need to notify a player that something has been move, needs to be moved or you need to talk to them etc.
Something along the lines of being able to type:
/notify playername Hey, this massive pumpkin you built was obstructing other people builds and has been moved to /warp pumpkin.
Perhaps the ability to add more than one person would be useful. And maybe attatching to the end "Message left by tomisafish on January 12th" owtte.
And ofcourse, this should not be abused for pointless messages and should only be used for moderation reasons.

Theres a mod with tons of stuff in it including this, check out "Essentials" for craftbukkit. Pretty awesome.

What if vod opened a test server, like mc.renmx.com:4 which allows us to test all your mods to see if there is any complications with the mods we have now?
