Heard whispers about it, but haven't found anything concrete about what it is and how it works. I assumed it was an effect of bees? Is it actually a portable magnet like the others?
Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

It is an item that you carry in your inventory. When activated (hold in your hand and shift-rightclick) it draws all items to you in a certain radius (configurable in the config).
The Mysterious Magnet is craftable in different tiers (up to 8, but configurable in the config). Each tier requires two magnets of the tier before and gives more range. It is really really really expensive to craft them.
Nice, sound a lot like Coin of fortune, but the range thing is nice. Really miss the old shift click with coin to instantly increase loot range though. Looking forward to it being added!
I believe Xeno is one of those modders who are skipping 1.5. It does leave a few voids. For example without Xenos and Xycraft, theres no growth boosts for crops. Luckily dartcraft did the Magnet gloves. Without it I would have gone crazy. Cant live without a loot magnet once you gotten used to it.
Huh? I'm running Unleashed 1.1.3 atm and there's no sign of Xenos. And none of the changelogs 1.1.3+ mentions it being added.
Hmm yeah, went over the list when I started using Unleashed. Guess it was added since and slipped my attention, or I just missed it on the list.
Nevertheless its added to my world now.
/cry and I have been making a lake without the Chalice..
something that irks me is that neither Forge nor MCP has any real competition..
Unlike Bukkit, that constantly battles against the Spout api.
Two pieces of software that keeps the other on it's toe's.
Competition is what drives improvement and quality.
Both Forge and the Minecraft Coder Pack have no competitors..but if they did?

That's an interesting point...
It seems like Forge owns a monopoly, and a good one at that
So what would happen to the quality if they had to be even better... hm >.>
Not necessarily. It can be but is not mutually exclusive with being "the" driving force behind improvement and quality. From what I know of those on the forge team their product would not change an ounce. They already put forth far more effort than most would if they were "competing".
Just to let you know, I'm not in any way "bashing" Forge or the people behind MCP by any means, they are all awesome people. But as Adonis0 said above, they have this monopoly set for them and thus, "make all the rule's", and if we don't like it, then we literally can't play with mod's because "other" is non-existent..
Interesting little thought though, maybe the reason why they do have a monopoly is because nobody has a problem with their work?
Whilst they are the only option, as I understand it they're doing a great job at what they're doing
