Hey there. So I posted in my introduction how I was working on a New Mod and I was going to make a post about it once I got comfortable with its state. I would just like to note that this mod is still a Work In Progress and I am actively developing it. But I want to let people become aware of it.
I saw other people post their mods here so I figured it was allowed. If it isn't then please just remove/don't approve this post.
I really do like constructive criticism. And this community just like the Minecraft Forums one seems to be really good at giving that. So please I welcome it. I also welcome suggestions.
This is my first mod and I am a firm believer that Mods are made for the community and the community feedback is just as important as the mod author's ideas. Anyway it is called Celestial Craft.
Celestial Craft is my very first mod for Minecraft. I have been following and playing Minecraft since its early Alpha Stages. Minecraft is in and of itself amazing. Once modding took off I was even more impressed. I have the utmost respect for modders of both plugins and mods. I decided I wanted to try and become a modder. I have some background experience in Code but NOT java. My experience lies in PhP, C++, Lua. Java is new and foreign to me but I wanted to be able to Mod. I wanted to be able to test myself and learn something new. So thus project Celestial Craft was developed and given life.
The idea was a combination. It came from me wanting to learn how to mod and helping my custom modded server. I have a mod pack that centers around the Anime Series: Fairy Tail. Now in the pack you are a magician and you learn and create your own spells and explore the lands of Fairy Tail. An actual replication of Magnolia is your start point and the "adventure" map is the continent of Fiore.
So where does Celestial Craft come into play? Well my server population knew that Fairy Tail was meant to give a similar experience to adventuring in the world of Fairy Tail but that it was almost impossible to replicate it since almost no mods exist for it. However they appreciated the work I put into the Modpack and love it. But they had one request. "Halestorm, we should find a way to summon Celestial Spirits." That was it, that was the point where I said you know what, I want to learn modding and I want to support my players. So Celestial Craft was born.
The theme of Celestial Craft is well......Celestial. I designed the mod with a totally biased attitude but managed to encompass neutrality into it. In other words users of the Mod who have NO idea what Fairy Tail is, will still be able to play with the Mod and understand its theme and usage. The mod focuses around Celestial Power/Energy. By harnessing the Celestial Energies you are able to summon Spirit Guardians via Celestial Keys. There are three tiers of Keys ranging in strength. They are, from lowest to highest, Silver, Gold, Black. The Gold Tier keys are the signs of the Zodiac.
The mod also will introduce the Celestial Dimension which is home to spirits along with other new creatures and Biomes. The overall theme of the pack is Celestial Magic. There are a number of new Celestial Tools and armor that you can craft. Equipping a full set of Celestial Armor for example will give you a set bonus. So the theme is just a "Magical Fun Theme" I guess you can say. However, I have made it a point to try and make this balanced as well.
This is my first mod. I am still brand new to all of this. So the Celestial Craft energy system is fairly basic. There is an item that is used as the "Celestial Power" this item is required to be in your inventory in order for other items to function. For example and item in this mod is called the "Celestial Grenade." The Celestial Grenade will do nothing without having "Star Shards" in your inventory. The ration is 1:1. In other words, in order to actually use one Celestial Grenade you need one Star Shard in your inventory. As I said, this is my first mod. So I don't know how to implement all that other fancy stuff just yet and probably for purposes of this mod won't need to. Summoning spirits requires a different type of energy, however it is still the same concept of an item requirement.
NOTES:
This mod is being actively developed. This is my first mod so I am by no means a pro. Stuff will break. Stuff may not work correctly. This is a learning experience for me. I will be honest. I may not know how to answer all of your questions, but I will do the best I can and I will try to learn more. Currently I am a Law Student at a Law School working to become a lawyer, my time is limited but I still manage to work on this and will continue to do so.
You are welcome to post suggestions and I will be happy to add them if I can. However just to note, a lot of this is already mapped out and I have a set schedule to it. What does that mean? That means please feel free to post suggestions but if you see an update come out and your suggestions is not in there, although I may have said I will add it, do not get insulted as it simply means I had different plans for that version of the mod.
This mod is meant for post game, after defeating the Wither. Some items require a nether-star. (My recipes hook into NEI so you can view them with that). As it is a post-game mod you may see some new monsters that utterly destroy you roaming the world. That is the intention. They are not "overpowered." They are intended to kill you quite quickly.
