Minecraft 1.0.0 is out – I am aware of it

Posted on by

Yes I know, Minecraft 1.0.0 is out. BuildCraft 2.2.x and 3.0.x will get ported in due time. Don’t expect anything to happen before two weeks though. I’m currently in vacation and will not have time to put together the required development and validation time required for supporting this new version before coming back. Also, Notch tends to make minor releases after a major one, although this is probably the result of the 1.9 stabilization, it’s better to wait and see.

  2. Enjoy your vacation! Take your time, I for one would rather see you enjoy making your mod than feel pressured to get it out now to please the whiners :) Thanks for your devotion to making minecraft more fun!

  3. By all means- enjoy your vacation. And thank you for addressing the situation.

    Is it too early to have ideas in mind for what we might see when a 1.x compatible mod is released? ie: Is it to early to hope for a BuildCraft 3.x SMP in the area of that “…at least two weeks…”?

    This being my first post I’d also like to say that you have a great mod going here and have no desire to see you ‘work’ on it… meaning- enjoy your vacation and we all look forward to seeing what future development has in store.

  4. I have read on the forums that there is no working linux version.
    Also manual client installation is not very simple…

    Please fix linux version and simplify installation process, and I will donate $100.

    If you have any technical questions about linux or you need help – please contact me zabivator@gmail.com or oleg.tsarev@percona.com, and I will help you (and anyway will donate after completion of work).

    Thank you for great mod,

    Best regards, Oleg

    • Running it under linux absolutely fine (Arch Linux x86_64).

      Use mcpatcher to install modloader, modloaderMP and forge then drop all the buildcraft .zip files under:
      ~/.minecraft/mods

      Play :)

      • Unfortunatelly, doesn’t work on my Fedora 14.
        I installed all as you described, I get new items and crafting receipts, but inventory doesn’t changed, and simple example with two chests, wooden pipes and red torch doesn’t work :(

        Pipes don’t transfer items between chest.
        I tried to power it by redstone engine, but redstone engine doesn’t work also. Doesn’t work mining well too… ;(

  5. Spacetoad, thankyou so much for this superb mod that does everything that Notch has failed to do since Haloween update 2010 – give us more opportunities to use our creativity in making contraptions. :) I love your method too of consistently releasing stable finnished releases, unlike Minecraft of late which seems to be update after update of lots of new buggy, unbalanced or flawed features, but no old features fixed (v1 and NPCs are still pointless, still no mod ui, still no ingame crafting guide).

    Anyway looking forward to your return and I will leave you with a silly list of ideas:
    - Teleporter and Reciever pipes
    - Iron pipe rotation using a logic gate
    - Mob / player transport pipes (2×2?)
    - Projectile launching pipe
    - Borer (a horizontal mining well)
    - Layer (Opposite of the Borer, think Grommit laying train track)
    - Ratio splitter pipe (1:2 sends 1 left, 2 right, 1 left, 2 right etc, handy for uneven quantity requirements like for furnaces)
    - Relocater (pick something up, reconstruct it somewhere else, fantastic for relaying pipes or moving your entire operation to a new location.)
    - Processor (water to ice, ore to ore block and gravel to flint)
    - Dimensional storage pipe (sends items to corresponding dimensional chest in the opposite realm i.e. from main world to nether)
    - Discard pipe (eradicates contents, small power output)
    - Thief pipe (sucks items directly from your inventory if close enough)
    - Generous pipe (throws items directly at you if close enough)
    - Spigot (tool, allows you to grab an item moving through a pipe)

    • I encourage Spacetoad to implement especially the Spigot idea, I hate having to break the pipe and stop factory flow to remove something :P
      Great Idea!!!

    • You can achieve “- Ratio splitter pipe (1:2 sends 1 left, 2 right, 1 left, 2 right etc, handy for uneven quantity requirements like for furnaces)” with diamond pipes.

    • The relocater pipe is a very cool idea :)
      But would it be possible to relocate a relocater pipe, relocating another relocater pipe, which will then relocate the relocated relocater pipe??

  7. @ chiffmonkey: some of those ideas have been implemented in sub-mods, go check them out in the community section. I do love your player transport pipe idea, that would be useful. The dimensional pipe would be better implemented as a chest with a linked inventory IMHO, so you can drop items in it in the nether, open it in the overworld and there they are. Direct pipe interactions won’t work since both worlds are not loaded. Not trying to cut down any of your ideas, you have some interesting ones.

    • Thanks for your thoughts, and yeah I just found out about BC’s sub-mods. Can’t find a custom ratio splitter pipe though, just a 1:1 splitter which can only be used in combination to make 1:3, 1:7, 3:5 etc, never 1:2, 1:4 etc.

      • The same person who makes the TP pipes also has Distrubtion pipe that allows you to adjust how much you wanna go down something before going down another pipe.

  8. you do an awesome job spacetoad. those of us who really care are happy waiting 2 or 3 weeks to get a stable, working mod. (for 3.0 stable = as well as it works for 1.8.1 :) )

  9. this may sound stupid but i wand to learn making mods.
    and becasuse i realy love buildcraft i wana ask you if you can teach me some stuff.
    after your back from your holliday

  11. Enjoy your holiday! :D You need holiday, cause you did so much stuff for us! :D

    I will be so happy when 1.0.0 will come! :D I have sometimes few ideas, but i always forget it. :D But I have idea about those gates. There can be something like counter. When pipe is used 3 times, the gate will …. something that you want. Very useful on iron pipes, where you can say how much sticks you want to plonk into the workbench, and then when 3 sticks pass pipe, the gate will activate redstone, which switch iron pipe, and sticks will go back to chest. :)

  12. enjoy your vacation we can all wait you created a very awesome mod here i think among the top 5 ever in my opinion

    • Sorry, I forgot to say how COOOOOL your mod is.It’s my personal fav.
      And I know RedPower, tmi, mo’creatures and IC² :)

      Ps: I think eloraam, the guy of RedPower, is making something nice with BuildCraft (in form of a SubMod .oO(Or something like it)).

  14. you should add an rss feed button to this site. its already available cuz i went to http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/rss2 and it works and ive added it to iGoogle but theres no button to make it easier. not hard to code and will take bout 5 mins. your choice though : D have a nice day

    • Get gathering materials and making your workshop in preparation hehe. :) I’ve made a big stone bunker with offshooting rooms, and 2 block high access tunnels on each edge (just like the new pipewires) so I can hide all the piping and just have a nice tidy factory area. :D

  16. Ok First of all, you’ve done a great job on this mod and more people should know about it. I fully support you and am a huge fan. I started using your mod a while ago and I love it. I just had a request for you. When the next minecraft update comes out, or if it doesnt can you make the 2.2.x version of your mod for it as well. The redstone things in 3.3.x scare the living hell out of me 0.o and im planning on running a server for me and my friends with the 2.2.x version of your mod Thanks :)

    P.S. Hava a good vacation x)
