3. If you're using a pre-3.0 version of Randomobs (pre-1.8.1 Minecraft), you need PReader by Roundaround. Since he decided not to distribute the old version anymore, and we still need the old version, here is a rehosted one : LINK.
4. The base of the mod is now part of MCPatcher. All we now ditribute are the skins for the mobs, so have fun ! We'll go on creating new skins so that your mobs are always more different !

Download links :
1.8.1 - 1.9 pre5 compatible, 4.2 version : LINK.
1.7.3 compatible, 2.6 version : LINK.

Installation :
1. Locate your minecraft bin. There are tons of tutorials about this around.
2. Patch your minecraf.jar using MCPatcher, and make sure you checked the Random Mobs little box.
3. Put the textures you downloaded into the corresponding mob's folder in your minecraft.jar.

Note : On some computers, a "macosx" or "DS_Store" file appears : it's because I work on Mac OS X. They are trash files, you can delete them without any problems ; all you need are the class files and the textures.

Add Useful Lasers to Minecraft with this Mod (1.8.1)

This mod adds lasers to the game. These lasers have fully customizable features, power, and ranges. They can be used to do everything from mod traps to fences to farming machines.
Usage:
Every laser recipe uses the ruby. The recipe for a ruby is:



The Laser:



The laser block shoots a laser beam when activated. It shoots a small, white laser beam. It is somewhat useless as it is, but a lens can help increase it�s strength.



Laser Reflector:



The laser reflector takes in a laser beam and reflects it. Just like with the laser block you can put lenses on it to increase its usability.



Laser Sensor:



The laser sensor provides power to redstone and powered devices when a laser beam is shined on it. This is perfect for sending power and signals over a distance.





Lenses:
Lenses can be used to change the colors, functions, abilities and properties of lasers. First you will need to craft a lens bench:


An example of a lens recipe is:





You will need to put a solid block on the edge to form the lens. You can use:
Planks
Stone
Cobblestone
Bricks
Stone bricks
Iron block
Gold block
Sandstone
Wood
 Using an enderpearl anywhere in the recipe will give the laser advanced power.



You can change the color by putting dye into one of the other slots. Each color changes the function of the laser.
White:
Can be used as a detector.
Power 1-3: Blocked by items, mobs, and player.
Power 4-6: Blocked by mobs and players.
Power 7-9: Blocked by player only.
Red:
The red beam gives off heat. It deals damage, catches things on fire, and destroys blocks.
Power: Each level improves the damage per second, the change to set an entity on fire and the beam can dig through harder blocks. Maximum damage: 30 hearts per second!
Advanced: Prevents beam from destruction of items.
Green:
The green laser speeds up plant grow rate. If the user cuts a tree that is under the effect of an advanced green beam, the whole tree will fall.
Higher Power: Speeds up plant grow rate.
Advanced: Tree-cutting mechanism avaible.
Blue:
Slows down mobs in the laser beam.
Power n: Slows down target to n*10%.
Advanced: Slows down by vertical axis.
Yellow:
The yellow beam provides more light.
Power n: 4+n Lightlevel
Advancded: The beam passes through solid blocks as if there wasn�t any.
Cyan:
This beam can push entities.
Power n: Pulls stuff with acceleration 0.4*n m/s.
Advanced: Pushes instead. If the beam is horizontal, it also pushes entities top with same acceleration.
Purple: A hybrid of red and blue.



Putting certain items in the recipe will increase its power, up to a maximum of 9.
The power will increase the properties of the beam.





By default a laser beam will have a range of 10. The range can be increased or worsened up to a maximum of 100.

Get Fists of Fury with the Kenshiro Mod (1.8.1)

The Kenshiro Mod for Minecraft gives the player the awesome ability to go into rage mode. While in rage mode you can use your fists to quickly punch through any blocks or mobs that get in your way. You have to watch the video to understand how awesome this mod is.

 Usage:
Hold Mouse2 to go into rage mode and use your fists. You can perform a kick of justice by jumping and tapping Mouse2. It uses less stamina than fists.
You can only go into rage mode with a bare chest and empty hands. It drains a lot of hunger and stamina, so eat before raging!
Hit mobs will no longer be able to attack (except for creepers and archers). They will drop dead shortly after being hit.
While in rage mode you are able to punch though almost anything. This is perfect for punching through caves and walls.

Castlegaurd

I've started on a new area of the map outside of Apvia in the 1.8 region. The new world generations are just spectacular. I have run into an issue with the water, however, since it seems to be one block lower than the old 1.7 water, so anywhere in the world where 1.7 water meets 1.8 there is a ridge of water. It looks like a tsunami ready to wash ashore.

The gates of Castlegaurd (Apvia is about 1km away over the water)

Large storage room under the gate.

Some distance from the gates this keep sits on the side of a ginormous chasm.

Large storage room.

A random town generated by the game - sadly no citizens though.

A sailing ship unloading a fresh catch of fish.
