ATTENTION!
- If you areupdatingthe mod, please delete the previously generated config file (/Roaming/.minecraft/config/KKSimpleArrowsBase.cfg) before running minecraft so that a new config file [with the new features] can be generated.


[Changes/New Features]

This is a "simple" mod that adds 6 new arrows to the game;Wooden Arrows,Stone Arrows,Iron Arrows,Golden Arrows,Diamond ArrowsandFlammable Arrows. Despite being simple the new arrows were carefully configured to behave, look and feel like they are from the vanilla game and it also offers lots of customization to fit all your playing needs. The goal of this mod is to add arrows from the original MC materials and try to balance them as perfectly as possible, so damage values can not be customized. I know it will need some tweaking to be perfect so please comment any suggestion on the values.

Features
  • 6 new arrows

  • Torch-like Flammable arrow

  • Customizable Key Bindings

  • Multiple Languages

  • 2 new Achievements

  • Large config file, to change from IDs to arrow order (see the config file section)

  • Optional Arrows Add-ons (soon!)

- Using the modified bow:The bow has been modified to shoot all the new arrows. You can access them by pressing"F"(for the next available arrow) or"C"(for the previous available arrow)[customizable, controls menu]while having the bow selected. You will see a small indicator pop-up at the end of the bow's name. This indicator will tell you which arrow type you have selected and whether you have any available arrows of that type or not. The format works like this:{N}, means you have just pressed one of the toggle arrows buttons, and you have selected the normal arrows;[N], means you have that bow set to shoot normal arrows but you don't have any arrows left, or you are not holding that bow right now;(N), means you have the bow selected and you are able to shoot. Additionally there is(*F*)which tells you that you have the flammable arrows selected, you have available arrows, and that you also have flint and steel in your active inventory;making you ready to shoot lit arrows.The toggle order works different depending what game mode you are playing. For survival, the toggle order will depend on how you ordered your arrows in the inventory. (toggle order example: http://i.imgur.com/7vslOaI.png)For creative the toggle order is fixed [customizable].You can rename the bow if you wish, but pleasedonotuse the following characters: ( ) { } [ ]. If the bow is named with something between brackets or parenthesis that is not an initial it will be erased. Initials:(W, F, S, N, G, I, D).

- Retrievability System:An arrow that is retrievable has a chance to not be destroyed after hitting an entity. This chance is calculated by a random generator that outputs a number between 0-100 after hitting an entity. For the diamond arrows, for example, if the number is greater than 80 it will be destroyed, otherwise it will bounce off the entity. Also, if the arrow happened to kill the entity it was attacking it will receive an extra10%of retrievability chances before generating the random number, giving it more possibilities to survive and it will not bounce off the entity; instead it will fly straight through it (allowing multikills).[max retrievability: 90%]

- Double and Multi Kills:You can perform double and multi kills with any of the retrievable arrows when shooting against hostile entities or other players. If you manage to perform any of them you will get someextraexperience orbs for enchantments and other goodies. A message will also pop-up in your client chat informing you that you got a double or a multi kill[the message can be customized or turned off, config file]. As a server owner you also have the ability to turn on a global message for all players to inform that someone got a double or multi kill[customizable, config file].

- Achievements:There are two new achievements introduced with this mod. They are pretty straight forward, one for getting a double kill and another for getting a multi kill.

- Enchantments:All normal enchantments work with the modified bow. However the"infinity"and the"power"enchantment have been modified for the retrievable arrows. Infinity will not give you infinite arrows, instead it will raise the retrievability percentage by5%.[max retrievability: 90%]And the power enchantment effect has been significantly reduced [about1/2the effect of non-retrievable arrows].

- The Flammable Arrow:Very powerful and complex arrow. You can use it to light entities and blocks on fire, or you can shoot it into a wall and use itlike a torch(be advised that when lit, they burn out relatively fast). This arrow is not that expensive to craft but you need a flint and steel equipped (in theactiveinventory) to light it. At the moment you press your right click it will be lit and it will provide some light to your surrounding environment, so you can see what you are shooting at; but it will also damage your flint and steel right away, so no going back. These arrows will also be lit when passing through fire and lava blocks.

- Dispenser:All of the new arrows work with the dispenser. However, the dispenser willnotshoot lit flammable arrow. To get this effect you must place your flammable arrows and flint&steel inside of the dispenser. Wait for the dispenser to light the block in front on fire and when your flammable arrows pass through it they will be lit! (or use 2 dispensers in an L shape, one with the flammable arrows and the other with theflint&steel)

The Config file can be found under the config folder inside your minecraft directory.(/Roaming/.minecraft/config/KKSimpleArrowsBase.cfg)Here you can change various things about the mod, and the item IDs too.

There are 7categoriesinside the config file: Achievements IDs, Block IDs, Item IDs, Configuration-Client, Configuration-Client_ADV, Configuration-Server and Configuration-Server_ADV.

- Under theAchievements IDs,Block IDsandItem IDscategories you will find the default IDs to change them if you need to.

- Under theConfiguration-Clientcategory you will find render and chat messages settings:
  • "Arrow Type Sneak Peek": If true, you will get a sneak peek of a faded texture of the arrow type you just selected after pressing the next or previous arrow key. (Default: false)

  • "Anounce Client Multi-Kills": If true it will send you a chat message when you perform a double- or a mullti-kill. (Default: true)

  • "Client Double-Kill Message": Here you can change what the double-kill message will say.

  • "Client Multi-Kill Message": Here you can change what the multi-kill message will say.
- Under theConfiguration-Client_ADVcategory you will find the order in which you toggle trough the different arrow type (from 0 to 6).
  • "Survival Fixed Toggle Order": Set this to true if you want to have a fixed toggle order in survival.
  • "Creative Fixed Toggle Order": Set this to false if you do not want to have a fixed toggle order in creative. *You will need to have arrows in your inventory to be able to select that arrow type.

- Under theConfiguration-Servercategory you will find server double- and multi-kill announcement messages:
  • "Anounce Server Multi-Kills": If true it will send you a chat message when you perform a double- or a mullti-kill. (Default: false)

  • "Server Double-Kill Message": Here you can change what the double-kill message will say.

  • "Server Multi-Kill Message": Here you can change what the multi-kill message will say.
- Under theConfiguration-Server_ADVcategory you will find global render settings:
  • "Render Active Bow Light": If true; when you are charging the bow with a lit flammable arrow equipped it will light your surroundings. *Could become laggy on a large server if lots of people on a server charge lit flammable arrows at the same time and move around... (Default: true)

  • "Render Active Arrow Light": If true; lit flammable arrows will produce light when they are in-flight. *This can be stressful for some computers, specially if multiple lit flammable arrows are mid-flight. Therefore default: false. If you have a medium-good computer you should try it! (worst case scenario: some lag)[Not recommended for SMP]. (Default: false)


Supported Languages
  • English:en_US

  • Español:es_ES, es_ME, es_AR, es_VE, es_UY
[Arrow Type initials willnotbe translated || W, F, S, N, G, I, D]

*MCP re-compiler will not let me compile special characters (ñ, á, etc.)

**If you want me to add a new language just leave a reply with the name of the new language and all the suggested items, achievements and chat announcements translations. Thank you!
***If you find a translation error or you have a better suggestion for a translation also let me know!


Installation (uncommon method)
This mod isuniversal(SSP/SMP [LAN/DS])


Compatibility Mode
Downsides:
  • InSMP, when another player charges the bow you will always see the animation withnormal arrow texture. If you happen to be charging an arrow at the same time, you will see your selected arrow textureon their bow too. (sorry, nothing I can do about it).

  • Sneak Peek option isdisabled.
Pros:
  • Everything else will behave thesameas the normal version.

  • Because the changes happen only at the eyes of the client, youcan joinservers with the normal versionand vice versa.

And a really cool idea would be that there could be an arrow that puts out fire.

I saw that people were adding suggestions on adding arrows and bows. Maybe you could make an explosive arrow head using coal, gunpowder, and paper. The arrows could do normal damage +explosive damage to mobs but not damage the landscape (like the tamable creepers in the Elemental Creepers mod)

I was thinking about timed explosive arrows. They will be lit like the flammable arrows and they will explode after a few seconds, just like regular TNT but with a tiny damage/destruction radius. But maybe this could be a variant that explodes at contact but deals no damage to the environment. Sounds like a really good idea!

This is a great mod, and I love how you balanced the crafting, damage, and the ability to pick them back up, but there is a slight problem. When crafting the wood arrow head, I noticed that you need specifically oak wood planks. I was very disappointed in this because I live next to a jungle (and am in Hardcore mode)
and am several hundred blocks away from a normal forest. Could you please add in crafting for all wood types?

Sorry if I sounded like I was complaining. Looking back on it I could've put it in a nicer way. Thank you for looking at it though even though I was rude.
