This would take the mod in a completely different direction than I want it to go, and would cause problems with pre-existing worlds.

Ok, well, thanks for responding!

One more idea, because it will bother me if I don't say it now. Traveling through portals takes you through the void into another dimension, right? What if portal travel came with a risk? (I swear, after this I will stop pestering you)

He would have to factor in every mod that affects portal travel. That's a bit much to ask.

:O I've been waiting for this for SOOOOOOOOOO LONG! So glad that it's finished now. I hope it gets added to packs ASAP.

Darn, I have to respond... :P It could be a lot simpler than you think. Any time a change in dimension occurs (only on single player, of course) there could be a chance of some encounter with the monster. Just so long as your code is open ended and only looks for a change in dimension, not a particular dimension ID.

Well, It's probably another useless idea by me, (? for 3!) but if THIS one is usable, that'd be awesome.

What is "A change in dimension" in terms of code? Remember, what is easy for a human to piece together is not at all easy for the game. Case in point: You kill a pig, and its pork chops land on a pressure plate and set off TNT, killing you. Does the game know you died by your own actions? No.

Also, the "world" or game instance does not change at all when a player switches dimensions. Even if an event is fired - which I doubt - both dimensions are always loaded.

It's true! My techy friend pretty much wants to just make a pack of nothing but Reika's mods at this point, it's kind of funny. While I'd have nothing to do with largescale technology (I really don't have much reason to build a nuclear reactor considering how little energy I really use/need), I still really like all the other non-tech mods! Don't expect I'll ever see any magic from this corner of the modverse, but that's okay. Still awesome stuff. :3

DyeTrees and GeoStrata are probably the closest I will be coming to a magic mod. That and perhaps parts of my upcoming civilizations mod. :3

if it makes you feel any better reika, i had to pry rotary craft from your hands on mc forums when it was beta. :)

When was this? RC went public March 2013, for MC 1.4.7, and the last machine was the compactor.
 
Btw Reika, how exactly does this work on SMP? Does it create a void monster for each player, or does it attach to just one?

Just one. If that player dies, teleports, or logs out, it will find a new one; it does not "remember" the current target like most mobs do.

I would like to make it happen for every player, but the fact is, you would have 30 of them on one player.
