MyCraft Tool Mods and Render Options

Posted Jan 22, 2011 in website, c-pong, tetrus, uber-sand

After a lot more work, basic tool items have been implemented. In the next release, which will likely come tomorrow, the test mod will contain the "Blood Pickaxe", which can break any block instantly, and kill any mob instantly. This is just an example to show the capabilities of the API, and will be changed later to a more realistic item.

Also part of this next release will be some rendering options for super-low detail (no particle effects) and super-high detail (fancy lighting), possibly even more.

The first full release of this is coming soon!

Menu update for MyCraft!

Posted Jan 19, 2011 in mycraft

We have just pulled together a release for MyCraft!
The new version still includes the same minecraft proxy, but it now has some added functionality.

The biggest thing is the new menu in which all the mods will be shown, and options can be changed. This menu has scrolling, unlike the texture packs menu!

To download the new version visit the MyCraft page.
There are instructions on how to enable the proxy, as well as a link to the old version.

Progress update on MyCraft (Previously Minecraft Proxy)

Posted Jan 19, 2011 in mycraft

This has been a somewhat delayed development log entry for this project, but you'll be glad to know a ton of things have happened.

To start, we have renamed the Minecraft proxy to MyCraft. Under this new name we have decided to turn the proxy tool into a full plugin/mod utility for Minecraft.
It will be be very easy to install plugins, and they will not be affected by most Minecraft updates.
From a modder's perspective, it will be much easier to create mods because of the extensive API, with which even non-programmers will be able to create mods.

MyCraft is a very big project, and is only about 25% complete, so it will not be available for download for a while. We are currently working on building up the API. I have uploaded some screenshots of the modified menu, although this will probably be changed.
