Realistic World Gen Mods for Minecraft

I’ve been researching Minecraft mods that add realistic, or at least improved, world generation. There aren’t that many. Because Minecraft world gen is a bugger. I’m particularly interested in mods that offer more than just new biomes. I’m not looking

Primalcraft: A Time for Every Season

From the very beginning, I always wanted Primalcraft to have seasons. I love Minecraft’s open world concept—a world that I can change and reshape as desired. But there’s also something special about a world that changes on its own. Seasons

Primalcraft: Switching from Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA

I haven’t been entirely idle during the past month or so. From day one, I’ve been coding Primalcraft using Eclipse as my IDE (integrated development environment). The main reason is that every single tutorial I found used Eclipse. As a novice, I

Primalcraft: Stone Age Spears

I took a few weeks off from modding to build some shelves in our basement storage room, and then the holidays got all crazy, with lots of sickness in the house. After more than a month away, I’m back at

Primalcraft: Hardcore Darkness

In vanilla Minecraft, it’s never completely dark. Although the default brightness is set to “Moody,” the lowest available, in practice virtually everybody manually sets their brightness to 100%. I do it, myself. Not because I hate the darkness, but because

Primalcraft: Throwing Rocks

Today I bring you yet another small but fun feature in Primalcraft: throwing rocks. The overriding theme of Primalcraft is extreme survival in the stone age. So your earliest tools will always be the simplest of objects: sticks and rocks.

Primalcraft: Movement Speed

Continuing on my trend of adding fun but easy features, I’ve made it so in Primalcraft the player’s speed is based on the kind of block they’re traveling on or through. This is very similar to the hardcore movement feature

Primalcraft: Moving Through Leaves

I recently finished Primalcraft’s knapping feature, and I felt the need to tackle something a little easier for a while. So last night I started trying to figure out how to make it so the player can move through leaf

Primalcraft: Basic Knapping Is Done

I’m back with another update on my Minecraft mod, Primalcraft. It’s been a little over two weeks since I started working on knapping for Primalcraft, and I’ve got all the basics working. To do knapping, you need to find a hammerstone,

What I’m Listening To: Nightwish (Again)

Ah, Nightwish. Love ’em or hate ’em, they’re still around, and I’m still listening to them. When I first heard the album Once, I was blown away. I fell deeply in love with their combination of soaring operatic vocals, pounding
