I've been using a texture pack from the yogbox called SMP's revival yogbox edition and I really like it, its somewhat of a medieval themed kind of thing here is a video of all the blocks and their looks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJljE38dxq0

Dawkta, if you could PM me or something explaining the painterly pack more thoroughly, I would appreciate that. It looks really awesome xD

Can someone please PM me the IP of a good server? I've been going off of YouTube and the Minecraft forum and all of them were either highly griefed, way too crowded, or were mostly immature people and lazy staff. :P Thanks.

Alright, so I attempted to install the TooManyItems mod, but it's not working. I looked at videos, followed them all the way, but it still won't work. Any help?

EDIT: I'm not sure if I have to hit save while I'm in WinRAR to keep the mods as is.(?) And yes, I deleted the META-INF file.

Step 1: Download mod
Step 2: Open up Minecraft.jar with WinRar
Step 3: Move .class files into Minecraft.jar
Step 4: Close Minecraft.jar.
Step 5: Play Minecraft
Step 5 1/2: If you get a black screen close minecraft and delete your bin folder and try again.
Step 6: Open up your inventory and press "O" to make sure it works.

Alright, when I put them in there, it says they're there, I close it, start up Minecraft, press 'O' in my inventory, and it doesn't work.(?)

Are you also installing Zombes Modpack? If you are you need to install TooManyItems last because of some conflict between their .class files.

Currently, I don't have any other mods installed. Though I'm planning on getting the clay soldier mod, cuz that just looks awesome. Lol

EDIT: If you aren't familiar with the clay soldier mod, here's a video showcasing it epicness. It's truely awesome. Read up on it.

My progress so far. You'll notice a new top section. I have a little factor which I'm using to convert all of the sand I dug out into glass. No snow will be able to enter the city then(yes!) but I'm going to need a lot of glowstone and candles so that the snow won't cover up the glass.

Only 40 more layers to go! xD

Also, I've been looking at the Aether mod and I'm losing my mind over how cool it looks. If I want to download it, having no other mods installed previously, how do I go about it? I know the minecraft wiki says I need to install three other mods so could anyone go through the process on how to do this?

I don't want to corrupt anything with my existing world and I know I'll mess something up along the way if I try this without knowing how to do everything correctly.

I'll try to help you.

First you'll need a program called WinRar, but 7zip works. If you have a Mac, Archive Utility or The Unarchiver are good programs. The mods you'll need are Audiomod, Modloader, and ShockAPI.

Step 1: Open up your .minecraft folder and go to your bin folder.
Step 2: Open up your minecraft.jar with your unarchiving program.
Step 2 1/2: Delete Meta-INF folder. ( If your on a Mac, delete the contents of the Meta-INF folder.
Step 3: Move all files in the Modloader folder into your .jar.
Step 4: Move all files from the Audiomod folder into your .jar
Step 5: Move all files from the jar folder in the ShockAPI folder into your .jar
Step 6: Move all files from the jar files folder in the Aether folder into your .jar.
Step 7: Close your minecraft.jar
Step 8: Move all files from the Resources folder in the Aether folder into your Resources folder in your .minecraft
Step 9: Go into your saves folder and copy and paste them to your desktop. ( Just in case they get corrupted.
Step 10: Load up minecraft
Step 11: If you get a black screen, delete your bin folder and try again.

Started a new SP world strictly for building purposes I installed the SP commands mod which allows me to get as many items as I want... I was clearing out an area with my trustly diamond shovel when a thought stuck me... TNT would do this MUCH faster... I may have gone a bit to far...

Well look on the bright side! I see iron down there! Lol

ROFL yeah to bad I have already got a large chest full of iron and another one half full diamond... I needed that space to build... but no worries I found an even better location for building not far away.. I'm working on a project.. and thinking up a few others... if they turn out I'll post screens of them it not I post screens of the craters left when I get mad and blow them up lol

YAY for craters. TNT solves every problem :D

Note on step 6 if you're on a mac; move all the class files over first, then examine the folders within the mod. If you have a folder who's name does not match any folder already in the jar file, just move over the folder. If you do, move the contents from inside the mod folder into the respective folder.

Speaking of the Aether... I just finished a PVP/Spleef Arena.
