Ulticraft is the next generation minecraft companion, designed from the ground up creating a materialistic user interface, with all minecraft items, recipes, and other entities. Ulticraft accesses it's data differently, with methods that create a more simplistic, functional application.

Content
Minecraft is a game with copious amounts of items, blocks, mobs, entities, and all sorts of other information that is useful to the user. Putting it all together in a simplistic performance-based way is difficult, but you will soon find out that it is no problem for Ulticraft. Ulticraft accesses it's information in a logical way, making it faster, friendlier, and quicker for developers to add content (for minecraft updates).

Items & Recipes
Browsing items and finding recipes to get what you want quickly has never been easier. Items are organized in sections such as Crafting, Smelting & Brewing. There is also a search that can be accessed anywhere within the app. The search incorporates live look-ups, with advanced filtering all customizable by the user. Tapping on any item in a recipe or page will bring you to that item's data. You can also long-press any item in a recipe or page to get the name and description without even opening the page.

Compatibility
Ulticraft has materialistic styling indeed, but we have also decided to extend that feature to all android devices above ICS (14). Users not using android Lollipop will actually get a material hybrid which still displays cards, and simplistic styles, but a little different.

Future
We want to make Ulticraft even better! We have seen all of the minecraft guides on the play store, and realized that sometimes you have to install more than one app to accomplish your needs. For example, if you want to check for Bukkit plugins, mods, manage servers, and view a map of a world, that would require at most 4 apps. We want to consolidate features that should not belong in an app alone with itself. We want crank up the Ultimate in Ulticraft.

Get The App
To get the app for ulticraft, simply click the GET ON GOOGLE PLAY icon at the top of this page. Ensure you are signed in with your phones email linked to your google account.

One thing I learned was that there is always improvement for any industry by many developers. So please, make an app. Give it your all, because all of the Minecraft apps are different. User 1 may prefer yours over mine because of a simple reason, but others may disagree.

Do you see what I mean?

In fact, i just released v4.5.1 for better sharing options. Tap the save to save the qr code, tap the card to copy the link uri. Since google play takes time for processing, it can take up to 6 hours.

Version 4.5 has been released with QR Code reading for any screen in the app! Simply make a qr code with ulticraft://item-name-with-hypens or use a link for it. Once you have updated to the latest version, ulticraft will open whenever an ulticraft:// link is detected on the browser, or any QR Code scanner app

Update, and test these out!

ulticraft://dirt
ulticraft://zombie-pigman
ulticraft://strength-ii

Or scan with your favorite qr code reader!



I have also added the share action button on any content that can be linked allowing you to copy the link to the clipboard. Next version will actually generate a qr code. Plus a tutorial for how to do this in the first place.

I'm trying to get awareness. And I'm facing some problems with that because I'm stuck on a section with video card problems. But I think maybe I'll make some sort of banner and have it so others can post it as their signature to help raise awareness. I think it's a solid app I just think not a lot of people know about it and that's why it's not really getting out there. I'm also going to contact minecraft Mondays bebopvox andseeif I can make some sort of submission

Im not seeing the images, but thanks for working on it. I may redo the icon from yours or mine, currently though, i do not have my computer to compile the new image into the app. Maybe on tuesday

EDIT: I see them now, i will try to make my icon look a little like the second one just with more padding. But i dont know what ill do. I like the style of the second one though,

Yeah I'm probobly going to work with a style similar to the second one. It should be rounded like that. I'm going to start working on the tutorials section first. Then ill add the Qr or see if I can. Then ill work on the image, but that should start later today into the night. I'll release 4.4.2 tomorow.

Well, i need it at 1024x1024, that way i can scale it down for apps, and use the normal size for the production image.

Yes! Ill see what i can do. You see, i wanted it to be simple, and out of the way. I dont want them to be intrusive, but i should add some sort of border. Ill have to look into it. But as i said before, i wont be back in my studio work area till tuesday or so. But man, you have some great ideas!

I think i know what you mean. I think it should be smaller, and more rounded. So there is more empty space in the icon on the outsides (padding)

Exactly! That means it is easy for me to add 20 tutorials in 10 mins instead of hard coding every single one. That way if someone (you in this case) wants to add one, i can add it quickly and credit the user!

OOOH! Fantastic idea! I could probably make use of the qr code. Maybe it would be a link to a text file if the tutorial wont fit on the code itself, but ill look and see if that is possible, the user could maybe ADD TO LIBRARY or something like that. I would have to design a YAML layout or something like that though. Simply because the app has every item image asset so, the user would have to know the file names. Maybe i could make a page on my website where you could select an image that is already in the app.

However at the moment, i can simply add information, and ulticraft will parse it, then expand the layouts depending on what the content is!

So the user is refered to the app through a qr code to a specific tutorial, or even an item! That would be cool! Let me look over the QR Code APIs to see if it is possible to auto launch an activity with data from the qr scanner.

Ok, first ill explain how it works. Each tutorial has an object which contains many slide objects. Each slide can contain a reference and img.

I guess you can either reply or pm me on each step. For example

Tutorial: Example name
Slide 1: Title, Instructions, Optional link
Slide 2: Title, Instructions, Optional link
Slide 3: Title, Instructions, Optional link

Unless you use java frequently, just send me a tutorial in steps in that format. If i add it, (which i probbly will), i will add credit for you for your tutorials. The reason the ones i have on there now are short and unfinished is simply because i am working on the mechanics of it first.

If you would like to! However it uses my own apis. Its a little difficult at first but you should be able to get the hang of it. At the moment, i am away from my studio, but let me grab an example. I have been focusing on getting the code to read it so i can enter DATA only and the software will read the rest.

Oh, that is the Fleksy app. It is paid but there is a free version, but trust me. You have never seen a keyboard so good. You can type blindfolded lol. I changed the theme though.

Here is the play store link

Of course, it's a phone for Pete's sake!

On topic: Nice app, it would go well with unmodded and modded clients and also players. I hope it goes well for you
