ChowTime - the JamCraft team
A ModJam 4 mod


NOTE: If you have a crash on startup and
are using a beta build, try going to the config file and changing the
value of “UseDevVersions” to “true” to use the development version of
the dynamic items. If the problem continues, please report it!


Description:
ChowTime is more than just another food mod!  We have added unique
mechanics and features that add a completely new level of gameplay in
Minecraft.


Basic features:
-Dynamically loaded foods
-Innovative new way to get seeds for plants
-Harvesting levels for crops
-New items to make harvesting easier


Dynamic Foods:
ChowTime is, as far as we know, the first mod for Minecraft to
dynamically add foods.  This allows us to update old foods, change
recipes and add new foods without you having to re-download the entire
mod.  Although some re-download of the mod will be required (not
everything is dynamic), this will hopefully let us give you more content
quickly and without as much hassle.


TurtlePis:
These cute little turtles are ChowTime’s special way to get seeds for
our crops.  To get ChowTime seeds, simply find a TurtlePi and
right-click on it with vanilla wheat seeds.  The TurtlePi will take your
seed and give you a random ChowTime seed.


Harvesting Level:
ChowTime crops are different from vanilla crops.  Unlike vanilla crops,
most ChowTime crops require some level of expertise to plant and harvest
crops.  Experience is gained from breaking crops within your experience
level.

Below is a list of the experience level required to plant/harvest different ChowTime crops:

Experience Level: 0 – Barley and Blueberries (Gain +1xp for each harvest)

Experience Level: 20 – Tomatoes, raspberries, and cranberries (+2xp for each)

Experience Level: 100 – Corn and grapes (+4xp for grapes; +5xp for corn)

Experience Level: 300 – Strawberries (+5xp)

New Items:
New items are being added to make harvesting crops and food in general
more interesting.  Currently, we only have one useable tool, but it is
well worth it. This item is the Farmer Boots, which when worn prevent
trampling farmland. (Warning: this item is still WIP and might be buggy.
Have fun!)


Downloads:
Currently there are only beta build! This
might mean some things don’t have crafting recipes. Go ahead and report
this so we don’t forget about it, but it might be helpful to have NEI or
cheats on so you can play with the items anyways.  Hopefully (and with
your help) we will have an official version out soon!

Modpacks:
You are free to use ChowTime in any mudpack you wish, however we would
love to know that you are using it, especially if you are a large pack
so we can prepare our servers for the extra load.

Also, due to the dynamic nature of all the food, if you plan on using
multiplayer, we suggest you run ChowTime once on your computer, then
disable dynamic updates by setting the option “ForceLocal=true” in
ChowTime’s config and then including the ChowTimeDyn folder from the
mods folder in the pack. Hopefully we can make it so the client and
server will sync available foods, but right now this is not available
