UNSC Armory Crafting Recipes

In my previous blog post, I explained all about my mod. Let me rephrase that, "most things about my mod."

Now for the crafting recipes!

I've taken the time to get screenshots and put them together into a nice, easy format. Enjoy!

Weapons



Magazines



Bullets



Gun Parts



Pyrosenes

The recipes for the Pyrosene require at least one of the previous Pyrosene.
Example: You need two PIs to make a PII,
a PII to make a PIII,
two PIIIs to make a PIV,
and a PIV to make a PV.

UNSC Guns Armory Minecraft Mod!

I just published another mod! It adds a variety of guns to Minecraft, all from the Halo universe!



This mod was created out of necessity... Or at least some form of it.

It all started on a server that I host. I had my Frag Fest Mod installed, so creepers were of utmost value...

We had a war...

It was big. One of us wasn't completely sure who's side he was on. He cracked under pressure and took as much stuff out of our chest as he could so that he could escape into the wild.
He was killed.
And killed again.
And killed a few more times.

After the war was over, that same person retaliated. He took as many valuables as he saw out of our chest, and jumped into a pit of lava.

I had a good view of him, and I was reeaaally hoping that I would be able to take him out with an RPG or an arrow. He jumped in the lava pit, and most of the stuff was GONE.

I needed a sniper rifle.


The result of my work since then: Over 40 new items, 11 new projectiles, fully craftable, and over 3000 lines of code!

Guns & Items

Here is a list of all the items for this mod:

Reloading

The reloading functionality for the guns of this mod is really quite unique... At least, as far as I know. The guns and magazines have their own durability values to store the number of bullets left, and show it to the player.

When you run out of ammo in your gun, an empty magazine of the gun's type will pop into your inventory, and the durability bar will start to regenerate... But you won't be able to fire until it is completely full, and you have the new magazine completely inserted.

Once the durability bar is full, then it will either disappear, or pop into a damaged state, depending on whether you have a full magazine in your inventory.

To load a magazine, simply place the magazine into the crafting table with the proper bullet. Do this until it is full for maximum benefit.

Ammunition
With all of these fancy bullets, you are probably wondering "Which bullet fits which gun?" Don't worry. I have a list for you!

Assault Rifle--------7.62x51mm Bullet
Pistol-----------------12.7x30mm Bullet
DMR-----------------7.62x51mm Bullet
Battle Rifle----------9.5x40mm Bullet
SMG-----------------5x23mm Caseless Bullet
Shotgun--------------8 Gauge Shell
Sniper Rifle---------14.5x114mm Bullet
Rocket Launcher---HEAT Rocket
Laser Cannon-------Craft it with 4 Battery Cells
Flamethrower-------Pyrosene-V
SAW-----------------7.62x51mm Bullet


With your preferred weapon, some extra ammo, and practice, then that army of angry zombies you've been worrying about will be a piece of cake!


Go get em!

Grenade Mod in Minecraft, 1.8

Lately, I have gotten into modding Minecraft. My project has been making a grenade mod, so my friends and I would be able to have fun with handheld explosives.

It is awesome!

Having a deathmatch with grenades is very fun, and exciting.

There are five types of grenades implemented at the moment, however I have two others that I'm considering.

The first grenade is a simple impact grenade. It hits the ground, and BOOM! a crater!
It actually has only half of the explosive power of TNT, but it has the bonus of being handheld and better transfer of damage to the ground (since it's closer than the center of a TNT block).

Second, is the timed grenade. It has slightly more gunpowder, adding to the explosion! The downside is that it is on a timer, and can bounce. It certainly isn't the easiest!
I see you!
So... tempting... Right... in... the... middle...
In the above picture, the grenade bounced when it hit the ground, and nearly fell off the edge of my testing platform! This bounce factor, however, can easily be turned into an advantage...
















The next grenade is one of my favorites from Halo. It's called the sticky grenade. It sticks to whatever surface (or person) it touches, and gives them a short period to shriek before it explodes, usually killing the poor person. I've replicated it with one of the most complex grenades in the mod.

It has the same power as the timed grenade, so if the explosion doesn't kill the victim, the fall damage will.

Last of the implemented hand grenades is the incendiary grenade. It has a minuscule blast. One quarter of TNT's power, but it sets fire to it's surroundings with the internal blaze powder.
Good uses of this grenade would be: Temporary blocking off tight spaces, scaring your opponent into the water (Where he is slow), and burning down bridges.

Now things get even more interesting. I even added an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade). It has the same explosion as the impact grenade, but it requires an RPG launcher in order to fire. It has an extremely long range, and is very scary to see coming toward you.
(Just in case you can't see, I got three direct hits)
It has the slowest fire-rate of them all, and it makes a clicking sound if you try to fire faster.

That's all of the implemented grenades.
