HINT ON DOWNLOADING!!! IMPORTANT!!!

Due to PMC doesn't accept JAR files as downloadable content, please follow these instructions. You'll download a ZIP archive and in it is the JAR file. Extract the JAR file out of the ZIP folder and put it into your mods folder.

Do you remember these old, odd desert wells? They have no function ... until now. Although this mod contains just a small tweak, it's quiet difficult to explain, so sit back and read through this thread.

What does this mod do?

This mod rewrites the world generator (to be more specific: the desert biome generator) and changes the style of the desert wells (new desert well designs upcoming in the next update). The desert well won't contain only a 1 deep water hole anymore, but something amazing inside!

A well can have 5 different depths: 10 blocks (easy peasy), 15 blocks (drowning possible), 20 blocks (kinda hard), 25 blocks (hard) and 30 blocks (HARD!!!). You need to dive to the bottom to get to a chest with some loot inside. The loot gets more valuable the deeper the well is.

Level 10 loot

Level 30 loot



The loot is randomly generated. It may be, that the chest is empty, but let's be honest. The propability of an empty chest to spawn lies at 0.00042330569%, so VERY uncommon. There is some standard loot predefined which you can see in the charts below.

Level 10 loot
  • Bone (1 - 3)
  • String (1)
  • Cobblestone (1 - 6)
  • Web (1)
  • Dirt (1 - 6)
Level 15 loot
  • Leather (1 - 4)
  • Iron ingot (1 - 3)
  • Slime ball (1 - 4)
  • Seeds (1 - 4)
Level 20 loot
  • Melon seeds (1 - 3)
  • Pumpkin seeds (1 - 3)
  • Iron ingot (1 - 4)
  • Slime ball (1 - 5)
  • Nether quartz (1 - 3)
  • Fishing rod (1)
Level 25 loot
  • Gold ingot (1 - 4)
  • Redstone (1 - 6)
  • Ghast tear (1 - 3)
  • Melon seeds (1 - 4)
  • Iron ingot (1 - 5)
  • Nether quartz (1 - 4)
  • Experience bottle (1 - 3)
  • Blaze rod (1 - 5)
Level 30 loot
  • Diamond (1 - 4)
  • Emerald (1 - 4)
  • Experience bottle (1 - 4)
  • Redstone (1 - 7)
  • Nether star (1)
  • Blaze rod (1 - 6)
  • Ender pearl (1 - 4)
  • Nether wart (1 - 5)
  • Nether quartz (1 - 5)
There's an interface for modders so they can add their custom loot, but this will be explained a byte later.

TLDR? Watch this video!


Thanks to Thescorpi0n @ MCForums

Interface for modders

As I said above, there is an interface for modders to add their stuff to this mod. This mod has a class in it called "DesertWellLootAdder". This class will add your loot to the mod. A silly example:

@EventHandler
public void onInit(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
DesertWellLootAdder.addDesertWellLoot(new ItemStack(Block.anvil), WellDepthLevel.DEPTH_15, 1, 6);
}
  • new ItemStack(Block.anvil) - Adds an itemstack of the block "anvil". Size doesn't matter.
  • WellDepthLevel.DEPTH_15 - Loot should only spawn in a depth of 15 blocks. Do not use your own integers here. Just use the fields from the WellDepthLevel class.
  • 1 - Minimum stack size to spawn
  • 6 - Maximum stack size to spawn


Make sure you call this method in the initialization phase. Pay attention: the minimum stack size cannot be 0 or higher than the maximum stack size. THIS WILL RAISE AN EXCEPTION IF YOU DON'T DO SO!

Do's and dont's

  • You can use the decompiled source of the mod to learn, but not to copy the source.
  • You can share this mod as you like.
  • You cannot create an external forum page about this mod without my verification.
  • You cannot provide an external download without my verification.
  • You cannot rewrite this mod and claim it as your own. A similar mod needs to be coded by yourself.
  • You cannot use this mod in your modpack without my verification.
  • You cannot create pure "loot adder" mods. Add custon items & stuff.


Requirements

This mod requires Forge. Download it here. (Preferred: Recommended Build #789 [1.6.2]) Get the latest recommended build. A server needs to habe this mod installed to play with this mod.

How to install

If you have Forge installed, simply drag it into your "mods" folder inside your %appdata%/.minecraft folder. A very detailed 101 on finding the .minecraft folder on Mac can be found here.

Hint on downloading

I don't know exactly what went wrong, but I guess because stupid Mediafire is stupid, it has renamed the extension of the mod. It might work with the .zip extension, but I'm not entirely sure. It would be much appreciated if someone would tell me if this mod works even with the .zip extension, otherwise CHANGE THE EXTENSION TO .JAR!

Bug reporting

Your minecraft has crashed? No need to worry. Just look into your .minecraft directory inside the ForgeModLoader-client-0.log file. Copy and paste ANYTHING and put it into a code spoiler (or provide a link to the file) with a description of what exactly happened inside the comments. If you want to, please take a look at this tutorial on how to fix crashes by yourself.

Known issues/Incompatibility with other mods


Nothing here ... seriously you should move on to the next point.

Thanks to

BlueSpud, pelep, diesieben07 and Mazetar (FML forums) for helping me. You are the best :D

So I'm hoping that you'll have a lot of fun with this mod. If you really like this mod, please hit that sweet diamond at the top of this post. It helps me out a lot. See you at the next update!
