There already is a mod with all of the rock types and ore distribution based on real world types, I'll see if I can dig it out.

I see what you did there...

I didn't until you pointed it out

Also: Terra Firma Craft

Too bad it's not for 1.2+ yet.. 

[Chaos Armor]

Hmmm... I did all of those things except check Minecraft after each one. But no matter how many times I do it, it never asks for an update.

[Briggsy16]

You're probably at the latest update then....

[Chaos Armor]

I know I am. But the question is, should it say that? It could be a side effect I don't know but still if it doesn't say that and it doesn't have to say it then it should be working.

[Briggsy16]

IndustrialCraft isnt out for 1.2.3 yet..

[forsaken1111]

Wait, I thought you said you wanted this working for 1.1? If you know you're at the latest update then that is not 1.1 and you've been wasting our time.

[Chaos Armor]

I never said 1.1, that I know of.

[forsaken1111]

I never said 1.1, that I know of.

Alright, so you just didn't realize that we were talking about minecraft 1.1 I guess... even though every mod page and that guide posted say it.

[Briggsy16]

Use common sense man, you can clearly see in every single download that they are for 1.1.

   The problem you are having is that you don't realize that IC is not updated to 1.2 yet. It is only for 1.1 at the moment. If you want to play IC for a bit you will have have to downgrade your version until they update which with a complex mod like IC may take a little bit of time.

[Derekristow]

Plus, a number of mod makers feel that 1.2 is too buggy at the moment to bother updating.  It might be a bit before everything uses the new update.

Minceraft, a post mortem
submitted 1 hour ago by Minecraft Creator xNotch

We've tried adding secrets to the game before. Small things, like obscure crafting recipes or weird behavior, and everything always gets figured out immediately. No matter how obscure we make a new feature, it's fully documented within hours of a new release. This is awesome, and a great example of how dedicated some Minecraft players are, but it also means we can't really hide anything good in the game even if we tried.
So a while ago, I did some intentionally obscure code in the title screen to switch two letters around, making it say "Minceraft" (old running gag, there's even a "minceraft" mockup t shirt design we did) instead of "Minecraft" on every 10000th game launch or so, and nobody found it! I was so happy about that, I finally knew something about the game the players didn't know.
Flash forward to this GDC a few days ago, I'm doing an interview with Chris Hecker, and he asks me if there's anything nobody has found in the game, and I say yes. I should've said no, but I said yes. Then I start getting emails and tweets about it, people start getting excited, and knowing how minor the secret is, I try to tell people it's a very minor secret. That seems to fuel the flames. A reporter from a well known gaming site wants to run an article on it, and I tell him not to. Getting people hyped up about an intentional typo isn't really a good way to spend everyone's time.
There's a lot of cool stuff to learn from this, though. One is that it IS possible to hide stuff in plain sight, but once people go looking for it, they will find it. Another thing is that people seem to want to get excited over things, even if you tell them it's nothing major.
I'm impressed and relieved you found it. I won't comment on it outside of this subreddit.

Ha.

If I were in his place, I'd have made the typo appear if the game is started for the 1958372th time on a winter night with a full moon and at least 5 of the 8 planets in the solar system aligned. THEN I'd brag about knowing a secret none of the players will ever know.

   I would just like to note my 4th Technic Lets Play video is up and I manage to do more stuff I wanted to show in it then in the past 3. You can watch the video here. A quick rundown of what I show is mining with the divining rod, my way of getting a nether portal, and me fooling around with a philosopher stone.
