Hm, looks nice, it was really just a idea that popped into my head. And as said above, i was more thinking cataclysm-like.

[Sergius]

Ah god, i just had this awesome idea about a total conversion mod for minecraft.


Change the generator to generate huge, adbandoned cities and make minecraft a zombie-survival game.
Restrict destroying blocks if you dont have the right tools, remove creepers, skeletons and spiders, make more zombies, allow you to make barricades, need for water, loot can be found in a non-decaying-not-in-chest form...


Imagine how awesome that would be.

I have a different idea for a mod (more like a group of mods) but I thought of making part of it creating a "city" biome. (the mod idea is some sort of automated massive fortress creation/destruction, for some sort of P2P arena - not wilderness survival - and the thought about aliens just landing on an existing city and instantly erecting humongous structures in the middle to screw everything occured to me).

That sounds like MineZ, really, with a bunch of added effects.

Personally, MineZ with Industrialcraft and Redpower would be awesome... No crafting though!

[Peewee]

That's probably because HighlifeTTU (aka vivamc) got several huge donations for his last server, so he expects a few people will be willing to pay for that package.

[TolyK]

Well, aren't they paying for early access?
I know that, for example, PauseUnpause paid for platinum just because he wants to support it.

[miauw62]

Wait, you have to pay for a minecraft mod?
Is that even legal?

[TolyK]

For early access. It's not a mod, it's a plugin, so it's all their own code.

Mods are also all original code...

[miauw62]

I bet that B12 could churn out something like that.

Worldgen would need a major rewrite tough, if you dont want cities to be all the same.
You'd need map tiles, for parks, hospitals, living blocks.
One tile would be 4 blocks, so a supermarket could be a huge building while a appartement  block could be less.

One of the things that puts me off about mineZ is the non-random-generated-ness.

   If you don't mind embracing the blockiness of Minecraft then it already has a good starting point with its chunks. There is enough room in a chunk to have a house with room on all sides. Also you don't need too much of a major rewrite. You could probably get away with just adding a new biome in which the cities appear so you can just decide how the land is formed. If you can control how large a biome is then its even easier.

[Vattic]

All this talk of city generation in MC makes me think of Formivore's Walled City Generator.

For early access. It's not a mod, it's a plugin, so it's all their own code.

Mods are also all original code...

Some mods are all original code.

Other mods are a mix of original code and Mojang-derived code.

As a general rule, mods that can be installed from the Forge MODS directory are all original code.

And any mod that has to be installed by dragging its files into the Minecraft jar contains Mojang code.

(There may be occasional exceptions on both sides of this rule.)

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Umm, if the mod has to use the mods folder then its just using hooks from another program that is using Mojang code and while not directly touching it would not be possible without said mod and thus would fall under its umbrella codewise.

How to transfer power between dimensions at high rates (~N*512EU/t, where N is the number of panels and MFSUs you have hooked up), with a 3x2x(N+6) footprint:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(click for larger image)

Left to right: Row 1:Enderchest, Filter with empty lapotron, pneumatic tube (can be omitted, or replaced with an item detector), chest (to be used as a buffer), Transposer.
Row 2: 4 tubes with a Retriever (contains full lapotron) at the end.

Just make sure the tubes go to the top of the MFSU, and it should work on its own. Just add a timer and you're all set!
In the other dimension, do the same set up, but with empty and full lapotrons in swapped positions, and make the tubes go to the bottom of the MFSUs.

I made the MFSUs point down so any unsent energy can be routed to a Mass Fabricator (not shown). For bonus points, the mass fab's output will be sent to a factory that automatically builds more HV panels.

I built this in Forsaken's server, so the discharging station is located under THE GRID complex. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't yet (PM him for the IP and modpack).

Not from the standpoint of 'does distributing this file violate copyright?'

This was clarified by a federal court very recently, in Oracle v. Google.
