THIS IS NOT A MOD UPLOAD, IT SIMPLY IS A BLOG ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE, AND WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH IT. MOD WILL BE UPLOADED TO THE MODS SECTION WHEN IT IS FINISHED.

Welcome to my blog about Tachyon Craft, a new pvp-adventure focused mod! In this blog i will be posting modding progression, updates and a todo-list. The goal with this blog is to try to wake interest in the mod, and maybe get some fresh ideas and suggestions from the community. The modders(Xcisso and Roxxo) are working really hard on it, and would love to put together something interesting that the community actually wants. We appreciate every suggestion we get, and will give some credit to you if we decide to use it.

Tachyon Craft uses forge!(It is currently SMP supported, and we have a server, so if you would like to help us test it, and maybe give us some feedback, feel free to add me on skype: how.high.are.u, and we can speak there:)

PS. Everything written here is subject to change, based on balancing(Since it will be focused around SMP and pvp,) and new suggestions we get here.

About the mod:
Tachyon Craft revolves around a new mysterious energy, that you can use to empower weapons, tools and armor, but also craft some powerful machines. Its purpose is to add a more adventurous feel to minecraft, and also add a new tier to tools, weapons and armor. The way you do this is to find gems, that can be enhanced with different tachyon energies. There are currently four known energy types, and little is known of each one. Every type will have different effects when you enhance items with them, and enhanced items will be much more powerful than the original. The empty crystals can be found in mountains, and appear in five different sizes(tiny, small, medium, large and huge). Each size will require more energy to be filled, and gives a stronger effect the bigger they are. You will also have to learn how to control the different energies, and to be able to use the different sizes, requires a different amount of skill. It will take quite a long time to gain experience with each color, so it is recommended to chose one color and stick to it. When you become skilled enough to use the most powerful gems, you will also need to get a new metal, since iron and diamond are too weak to hold that much power. You will need to go down to the bottom of the ocean, to harvest the new metal Neptunium. Neptunium is made out of a liquid metal called Nautilium(which is found at the bottom of the ocean, encased in a shell of obsidian), mixed with gold dust. Together they create a metal that is around 5 times as strong as diamond, and has the highest melting point of any other metal we know of. We will also add some new boss monsters around the world, with some special drops, aswell as a new dimension to explore, when you are fully geared with Neptunium gear.

How to(Beginners guide):
To begin with, you will need to find a tiny gem, and then fill it with whichever of the four energies you choose. To be able to use anything stronger than a tiny gem, you will need to learn how to control its energy by using the tools and weapons. You will slowly gain experience with the color you chose, and after a while be able to upgrade to the bigger gems(takes abit of time, so its recommended to stick to one color).

To get your first gem, you will need to travel to the mountains, you will find them above 55 blocks, but they will get more common the higher you go.(most common above 100 blocks). To be able to gather gems, you will need a iron pickaxe.

When you have your first tiny gem, you will need to fill it. At the moment, it is as easy as combining it with a standard, easy to get item, but this is only for testing purposes.

Red - combine the gem with an apple.
Blue - combine the gem with a stack of sugar.
Yellow - combine the gem with a bone.
Green - combine the gem with seeds.

Then you will need to get a stone tool/weapon and combine it with the tiny gem of your color.
Now you will be able to gain experience with your chosen color.(If you right click when you have a gemmed tool selected, you will see how much experience you have and how much you need, aswell as what level you are). Whenever you destroy a block or use your sword, you will gain one charge. When you have enough charges to progress to the next level, you will spawn a stack of the same colored, one size bigger gems. There are currently 5 levels, one for each size. For each level, it takes abit longer to progress.
