Zombe's modpack for minecraft

Contents

Installation Instructions

Mods work only with the downloadable launcher - NOT with the web-browser based version. All the mods are client mods and do not need anything to be installed at server side.

As has been suggested by some of you - a donation button is a great way for people to say "Thank You!".
NB! Please remember that the donation is just a way to say thanks for the work done so far without future entitlements attached to it - a simple, but appreciated, "Thanks".

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where is the ".minecraft" folder?
A: It is OS dependent. Search the forum. (for Windows platforms, enter "%appdata%" (without quotes) in Start->Run dialog and press "Ok")

Q: "no mods are enabled! Read the readme.txt!" is shown on screen, now what?
A: All mods are disabled by default and you have not enabled any of them. To enable a mod you need to delete the "#" sign from infront of modXXXEnable in config.txt found in ".minecraft/mods/zombe". For example, for fly mod find the line "#modFlyEnabled = yes" and change it to "modFlyEnabled = yes".

Q: "failed to load configuration from config.txt" is shown on screen, now what?
A: You have misplaced all the config files.

Q: It hangs / freezes / black-screens at startup after log-in, now what?
A: This is nearly always caused by META-INF folder - re-read the installation instructions.
A: Your minecraft.jar is probably damaged, usually because you added a modpack version that does not match Minecraft version - redownload minecraft.jar and install the correct modpack version for your Minecraft version.

Q: It did not hang, but there is no log.txt file either, now what?
Q: There are no errors nor crashes and none of the mods seem to do anything, now what?
A: Log file is created with every minecraft session - if you do not have the log.txt file then you have not installed the modpack. Most likely you have misplaces all the .class files - they go into the root folder of the "minecraft.jar" archive.

Q: Do any of the mods make my savegames mod-dependant?
A: No. Savegames will remain independent of this modpack.

Q: Can i still use the savegames when i uninstall the modpack?
A: Yes. Savegames will remain independent of this modpack.

Q: There is an error on the screen and i do not want to see it, how do i get rid of it?
A: Fix the error or press the "clear displayed error" key (default: F9).

Q: What to do with the files in "source" folder?
A: You do not NEED to do anything with them. If you do not know what they are for then just ignore them.

Q: Where do i get modpack versions for older Minecraft versions?
A: All versions (including this one) are listed here.

Q: How do i allow "fly" mod on my server?
A: Change the "allow-flight" option in your server.properties file to "true" and restart the server.

Q: How do i disallow "cheat" mod on my server?
A: Add "no-z-cheat" to servers welcome message.
Alternatively, you can disable it non-visibly too by adding "&f &f &2 &0 &4 &8" to servers wotd message ("&" marks color codes. If your server uses a wrapper with different codes then use this for reference).

Q: Can i install only one/few of the mods?
A: Yes, follow the installation instructions.

Q: Would you make a separate download for mod X?
A: No. All mods come in one package - however, you do not need to install them all. Follow the installation instructions.

Q: Why does it crash when i open the inventory?
A: You are most likely using TooManyItems and installed the mods in wrong order - consult the installation instructions.

Q: Why does it crash when i place blocks in world?
A: You are most likely using an outdated (ie. broken) HD patcher - use the one linked under installation instructions.

Q: wtf?
A: idk!

Customizable properties are (where appropriate):

There are also some options to change the special behaviour of some specific blocks:

ore (aka Ore Redistribution)

Redistribute all ores by customizable rules. Works even in already explored parts of map - easy way to add the new ores to old worlds. Default redistribution rules makes the ground much more rich of ore and a lava rich layer is added near bedrock by removing the stray blocks of bedrock found there.

[NAMEMAP] is for defining names for blocks and items. [RECIPES] is for defining crafting recipes. [IGNORE] is for disabling large sections of definitions. All tags may be present multiple times in any order. However, you can use only thous names in recipes that you have define earlier in the file.
Tags that include a file do not begin a section themselves - section start counts only for the file it includes.

For the full list of configurable options - see in "config.txt".

teleport (aka Teleportation)

Added functionality to user defined blocks to enable teleportation of player, critters and items. Teleportation can also be limited to only work for a specific critter or item type. Additionally you can teleport vertically and where ever your cursor is pointing at without using the teleport pads (costs redstone by default).

If player/item/critter gets above it and there is also a sign (either on stick or on wall directly above the block [2 meter range] or directly under it) the subject will be teleported, if the sign allows, to where the sign tells to.

Teleportation target is written as "!x,y,z" (Use my compass mod or some other means to get the coordinates) - it must be on a separate line. Example: "!0,65,0". The coordinates may not have an fractional part - ie "42" instead of "42.3" etc. Try not to teleport yourself into a wall (or worse) - it is quite uncomfortable ;).

Filter "everything except x", written as "?!x" on separate lines on sign. Example: "?!bone" (NB! there can be more than one of thous lines per sign - ie. "not X nor Y nor Z")

Filter "only x nothing else", written as "?x" on separate lines on sign. Example: "?skelly" (NB! there can be more than one of thous lines per sign - ie. X or Y or Z)

Item and mob names are in names.txt

For the full list of configurable options - see in "config.txt". Default blocks for teleportation are:
