This is a temporary Article. When I'll reach the level 2, I'll create a clean Mod publication. ;)



Hello guys,

(At first, sorry for my bad english, I'm french and my english skills are limited to "my tailor is rich" :-° )

Today, I want to present you my new (and first) mod : Statues!, wich its name suggests, adds a statue, wich can be equipped with an armor. It can be customized, so you can possess your own skin' statue, a creeper in armor, a zombie, and more!

craft, pictures and other some stuff

This mod adds these features :

-Statue (block, can be placed, craftable, openable):
*Craft:

*Sketch in-game:

Without armor, with steve apparence, a stone slab as slab and seeds in its hand
*GUIs:

Armor selection, the fours first new slots are for the armor, the last one is for apparence of the step under the statue)


Customize your statue! (openable by holding a hammer)

-Showcase (to put any item/block in a wonderful windowed stand):
*Craft:

*Sketch in-game:

*GUI:


-Hammer (item, craftable, used to open the Sculpt GUI of the statue, a chisel is needed in the inventory):
*Craft:


-Chisel (item, craftable, 20 uses, one by openning the Sculpt GUI):
*Craft:


-Mysterious powder (item, craftable, used in the craft of the statue):
*Craft (you can put ingredients as you want in the crafting box):


Downloads

Current version is 3r1 WIP update, old versions are available on this french thread.

Donwload links here.

To install it, RTFM unarchive your minecraft.jar with your favorite software, then put the content of the .zip you downloaded into it. Then delete META_INF, re-archive your minecraft.jar and play! OR (easier) use mcpatcher OR (easiest) just put the .zip you downloaded in your .minecraft/mods/ folder.

This mod doesn't modify any file of the game, so in theory it works with every mods (and i say "in theory" 'cause...)
/! There are some conflicts with these mods:

• Weeping angel
  
• Stuffed animals (this is annoying having incompatibilities between two decoration mods)
  

If you find another mod that doesn't works with mine, report me!

Changelog
3r1
+Added a new block: the showcase, a windowed stand in which you can put your favorite block/item (useful for show)
+Added a new apparence for the statue, but not (yet) the enderman. Be patients guys!
+Added the draft of a new awesome block: It will generates a giant statue (1pixel = 1 block IG) based on the skin of a player. Actually, it generates only a clay made statue, textures are temporary and the orientation doesn't work. The craft isn't done yet, but you can try it in creative mode.
*Fixed an orientation bug with arrows, hoes and axes
*Statues are now stackable
*Hammer and chisel are no more stackables
*Started to fix HD texture pack display bugs, but it doesn"t work yet
*Fixed a crash bug when the player is in creative and he tries to open the sculpt GUI without possessing a chisel
*Started to implement the .cfg file to modify IDs of blocks and items, but it doesn't generates itself automatically yet, so don't use it
*Fixed a bug which rendered the texture only on external faces of the models. What does mean? Skeleton hasn't no more a "hole", and armors are prettier, mainly with the cross
*Changed the craft of mysterious powder: replaced blaze powder with a gravel (so no more need going in the nether to craft a f**king statue ^^)
*Fixed the "bendinb bow bug: when the player bended his bow and the statue had a bow too, the bow of the statue got bended too
*Fixed some others little bugs
-removed a stick from the chisel craft
-removed an iron ingot from the hammer craft
