DovahCraft Official Topic
Mon, 07/01/2019 - 04:30 (edited)

Welcome to the Official DovahCraft Topic Board. Any and all documentation concerning DovahCraft will be held here.

DovahCraft

A Vanilla Expansion Mod

(All version updates will be in the comments down below. The only thing that will change from this post is the Current Version.)

Current Version: Version 1.7.1 Beta

If you are not familiar to DovahCraft, this mod offers 16 new Ores to be generated in your new worlds, as well as new Mobs and items. Explore your Minecraft worlds, mine through dungeons and craft your tools with new sets including: Ruby, Cobalt, Titanium and even Emerald.

1.7 Beta Release Changelog:

Very close to full release!

 

Additions:
——————

⦁    Added Smithing Table. Vanilla Minecraft Swords, Pickaxes and Axes can now be reforged to become stronger tools, up to +5 per tool. Shovels and Hoes are omitted from this, as they are neither combat oriented nor used for mining any important materials for tools.
⦁    Added Smoker. The Smoker can only smelt raw foods. Appropriate fuels are Coal, Charcoal and Block of Coal.
⦁    Added Gunpowder Ore. Will explode upon mining.
⦁    Added Lithium Ore. Contents are required for Nano Cells and can only be found in the Nazarr Dimension.
⦁    Added Nano Cells and Nano Cores, a very strong fuel capable of lasting for a whole Minecraft hour. Nano Cells are required to craft Nano Cores. Only used for vanilla Furnaces for now.
(72,000 Ticks = 60 real minutes)
⦁    Added Stripped Wood. Currently unavailable until I can find a workaround for Vanilla tool use actions.
⦁    Added Hard Magenta Glass, a block that was not present before due to an oversight.
⦁    Added recipe for Nightstone Brick.
⦁    Added Command:

/ar

Usage = Displays your current Armor Rating.

 

Changes:
——————
⦁    Buffed Hard Oil's cook time to 30,000 ticks (was 18,000), making Hard Oil the longest natural fuel in the game.
⦁    Changed Reforge Table’s crafting recipe.
⦁    Changed Blessed Apple's Strength effect with Absorption.
⦁    Changed Cobalt Ore's texture.
⦁    Wither Golem can now be hostile. Just don't punch him.
⦁    Changed Nether Gold Sword and Nether Iron Sword textures in preparation of the “Reforge System”.
⦁    Replaced the Sky Dimension with the new Phabos Dimension, a new Nether-Like Dimension, just harder.
⦁    Renamed "Scaffold Block" to simply "Scaffold".
⦁    Renamed all "StoneIron" blocks to "Stiron", a combination of Stone and Iron.
⦁    Renamed "Soggy Brick" to "Pale Brick".
⦁    Renamed "Bricked Iron" to "Biron".
⦁    Renamed "Iron Topped Brick" to "Irbrick".
⦁    Renamed "NightBrick" to "Nightstone Brick".
⦁    Renamed "Fake Redstone Ore" to "Fakestone Ore".
⦁    Ore generation has been altered drastically to compensate for the Reforge System.
⦁    Modified monster spawns.
⦁    Removed Herobrine.

Fixes:
——————
⦁    BUGFIX: Knowledge Book's texture has been fixed. (Internal error)
⦁    Enderium Pickaxe's ability now overrides fall damage to be significantly less.
⦁    Fixed a testing issue with Lithium Ore crashing the game when broken.

 

Easter Eggs / References:
——————
⦁    The Reforge System’s tool ranking is reminiscent to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s improvement system, as there are six stages of improvement: Fine, Superior, Exquisite, Flawless, Epic and Legendary.

Update 1.0 Beta ("The…
Fri, 10/19/2018 - 04:35

Update 1.0 Beta ("The Explore Update") News:

The next big update for DovahCraft will be releasing soon (looking for a Friday 19 release date, but could be pushed to Saturday 20). Most of what this update has in store consists of:

  • New Blocks with textures dating back to the Infdev/Indev days of Minecraft, with Slabs.
    • These include Wooden Planks (the off texture one), Cobblestone, Brick, Stone, and Grass/Dirt Blocks.
  • Dyed Planks with Slabs.
    • These have a slightly higher resistance to damage and explosions.
  • Hardened Glass.
    • These, when broken, don't just break -- They will drop as a normal Block, allowing you to re-place them.
  • Compacted Cobblestone.
    • Fill the normal MATTIS Crafting Table (vanilla Crafting Table) with Cobblestone to obtain this.
  • Underwater TNT.
    • Currently under some work, so it doesn't really do much, except for looking pretty.
  • Uncarved Pumpkins.
    • What Mojang intended for the Pumpkins originally, without that Jack-O-Lantern face carved in it.
  • Lecterns.
    • It's not exactly the same model as what it is originally was, but it's close enough. Purely a decor block.
  • New model for the Transmogrifier.
    • Looks a *Blam!* of a lot better than what I had before.
      • (if you understood the reference I just made, you have my respect.)
  • Transmogrifier (again).
    • New plans are made for this new Crafting Block, but as of right now it does nothing.
  • Material Reducer.
    • New Crafting Block that is unusable as of this post. What is intended for use is to break down tools/armor for bare materials, hence the name.
  • Gears.
    • Intended to be used with the Material Reducer.
  • Plate Armor.
    • Only the Helmet and Chestplate, as Minecraft originally had way back in the day.
  • Alphazar Dimension.
    • Not a new addition, but a change. All blocks from the Alpha/Infdev/Indev period in this Dimension will be left behind if a player chooses to go back through the portal.
      • This can be counteracted by using an Ender Chest.
        • Unfortunately, it is possible to obtain new Ores in this Dimension. There's no way (that I know of) to not have this happen.

 

There's some more that I want to try to cram in before the scheduled date, however after this big update, I'll be working on the mod to bring out updates slowly. (Gotta make sure there's no bugs in there, right Bethesda?)

Hey guys!

So, just to let anyone who has viewed / downloaded my mod -- This mod is NOT dead. I have been really busy as far as work goes, and I'll hopefully be able to get back into working on DovahCraft very soon. I've got some ideas in mind (like bringing 1.13 assets into 1.12.2 and so on), but if you all have an idea, please let me know!

Thanks! :D 

 

With my changelog I try to make it similar to how Minecraft's changelog flows via Gamepedia. It's easier on the eyes to read on what's been modified.

do you know you can easily edit your topic page and no post new comments each time an update comes ?

Maxpingouin --

Yes, I am aware of that. These are all sequential updates, therefore each new update will have its own post. I understand editing just one post to create an astronomical block of text, however, for me and for organization purposes, the format I've chosen is one I plan on keeping. And, if the MCreator forum in the future supports web anchors (which might already be a thing, I don't know), then navigating to certain posts for a certain update would be much easier to view. Otherwise, these separate posts can be used for observation and bug tracking to see if a certain version of a mod element caused an issue, and with what object.

I appreciate the feedback!

Fixes:

I think it's actually a nice idea to have an official topic where you speak of updates (unless you release updates at an insane speed).

I think the mod changelog should be synthetic (yes, my mods' changelogs aren't that synthetic XD) and the comments in the official topic should be like news that tell more about the update.

Sun, 02/24/2019 - 06:30

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, my updates usually come in random time intervals.

I usually try to stick to only releasing big content updates, meaning updates that actually contain visible changes, such as new items, blocks, mobs, gameplay changes, etc., with the exception for Update Version 1.5 (which that name prefix will be overhauled to something much more friendly).

 

1.7 Beta's release will probably be far away, given what project I've given myself. Trying to figure out a reforge system, in terms of balance, should be fun, and hopefully a feature that will be very nice to use.

Surprise! No, I am not dead!

I know it's been an extremely long time since I have publicly said anything in regards to DovahCraft's progression, and I apologize for that. Due to summer hours, work has taken a lot of time out of my day. In addition, my computer recently suffered from a hard drive crash, rendering my computer mostly useless. Thankfully, I was able to recover all my data in regards to MCreator and DovahCraft, as well as install a new SSD, so progress will continue. I realize at this point DovahCraft might be dead, but maybe a surprise update will bring it back. And, no, it won't just be a new Reforge System (which is fully working)... This new update will add some new Blocks, Fuels, and a new Ore that, well... Might be a bit touchy.

 

I plan on having the new update of DovahCraft out anywhere from tomorrow (Saturday June 22) to Monday.
