Because Minecraft needs more stuff!
This mod has been updated from 1.7 to 1.10/1.11! As a result, much of the documentation and file format information has changed. Please be aware of this and read all the available documentation before reporting any issues/bugs!
In these days of MineTweaker and other mods that allow mod-pack creators to customize mods to their heart's content, there's one glaring gap in the tool-set that these authors have. Try as they might, the ability to simply add new items and blocks without knowledge of Java is something that has simply been lacking. Fortunately, that's exactly where Quadrum comes in. By itself, it provides a simple method to add blocks/items with custom properties. Combined with other tweak mods that exist, you have some endless possibilities.
THIS MOD CURRENTLY REQUIRES ResourceLoader!
Usage:
Full usage of this mod can get a little complex, so I encourage you to refer to the documentation on the wiki (Links bellow). In short though, upon first running your game, a block and an item directory can be found in your config folder inside the 'Quadrum' folder. Everything to do with Quadrum happens here.
Inside those block and item folders, you will store your JSON files that dictate what blocks/items should be created (info on that below)
If any part of this or the provided documentation is confusing, please, let me know!
Documentation: PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!
I also have a Trello board setup for Quadrum! Come take a look at where we're headed

Installation:
To install the mod simply have forge installed and add it to the mods folder. Load up Minecraft and then look in the config folder to which you should see a 'Quadrum' folder in there is everything you need to start adding your own blocks and items. Need help doing so? Look at the documentation.
