[1.97+SMP] Berries++ 1.0a - blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and more!

Ever wanted to grow berries in IndustrialCraft^2? With Berries++, now you can.

Crops:

Vine - planted with a vine, drops vines
Blackberry - planted with a blackberry, drops blackberries
Raspberry - planted with a raspberry, drops raspberries
Blueberry - planted with a blueberry, drops blueberries
Huckleberry - planted with a huckleberry, drops huckleberries

Each grows in three stages: seed, unripe, and ripe. Crops can be picked when ripe, and revert to unripe. Growth rate is similar to melons/pumpkins. If you're lucky enough you may be able to acquire berries by crossing vines with other crops.

Installation and Configuration:

Important: while Berries++ supplies its own crops, it does not add any new items itself. Another mod is required to add the berry items. You can configure the item IDs and damage values in config/Berries++.cfg as needed, or set to 0 to disable. If you don't use another mod, you'll only be able to grow vines.

Berries++ comes configured with default IDs matching the Trees++ mod. Note Berries++ is not endorsed or affiliated by Trees++; its a separate independently-developed project, and Trees++ is not required to use Berries++ although it does work well with it. If anyone is interested in designing & adding custom items to Berries++ itself, it would be much appreciated :).

1. Install Trees++ or another mod with berries
2. Edit config/Berries++.cfg if needed to enable/disable/match the item IDs
3. Add Berries++ to the "mods" folder on your client and server

Weird.. guess it somehow partially failed to upload. Re-uploaded, should be available now.

Hey thanks everyone for their interest. Not really expecting this mod to get too popular in its current state, its fairly niche.. originally I was planning on making my own items (so the mod would be independent except for IC2, though it could optionally integrate with and use items from other mods), then making tons of different berries you could crossbreed to produce interesting and unique effects – but I might not get around to doing all that, so I figured I'd release what I have so far :).

Woo!!! One of the things that always irked me about Trees++ was that the berry bushes were so inferior to Inficraft's, this addon makes me _happy_

It works great for me in single player - with the minor exception that the crops flicker green/black occasionally.

It's not working for me on Bukkit though. Then again, crops themselves have problems with the cb build. With IC2 included in the server jar, I can plant berries in crops normally and see the flickering as in SSP. However, the crops never grow past their initial state and they do not persist through a server reboot. Have not tried regular SMP yet.

What builds of MCPC and IC2 are you using? With IC2 1.95b r2 on MCPC build 91 (current recommended) with Forge 3.1.3.105 and many other mods, I'm not seeing either problems: the crops don't flicker for me (in SSP nor SMP), they grow as normal, and do persist after restarting the server. Not seeing any other problems with the regular crops either. Can you test if any other cropcard add-ons work as expected? Maybe its a bug with IC2 and the new versions of Forge/FML/MCPC?
