UPDATE:
This mod will probably be updated when/if the official Mojang modding API comes out. So, no 1.0.0 version :O
sorry.

This mod, as you could probably tell from the title, adds snakes to the game! From snakes you can get snakeskin, venom, and skeletons, which you can use to make armor, poisoned swords, and a skeleton sword. Snakes spawn at decent rates, but ONLY in deserts and swamps. They are not normally aggressive, but they will be if attacked. There are both venomous and non-venomous snakes; venomous do not drop snakeskin, and non-venomous do not drop venom (duh!). Snakeskin armor protects you from venomous snakes' venom, so it's recommended that you go after the regular ones first (venomous ones are significantly more deadly!). Also: Snakes are immune to poisoned swords, so don't try!

For more detailed info and demonstrations, see this (slightly crappy) video and the 'sequel'.

This mod is only my third, so please don't judge it too harshly!

This mod requires modloader. Installation is simple; just drag the zip into the mods folder and you're done!

MASSIVE credit to the excellent CaptainMalone for making all the textures and skins; without him this mod would be very blah indeed!

This mod occupies data values 5001-5014, which shouldn't conflict with any major mods. If you get errors, you can alter the IDs in the config file.

If you go into the config file, there is an optional setting that makes snakes hiss using the creeper sound effect. I don't recommend it; it does NOT sound like a snake, but I put it in anyway just in case somebody out there likes it.
