Feel free to - the sprites are based on the previous author's. I also need a matching item sprite.

Normal boat model yes. For which one?

Electric one wasn't. I tried making it lava resistant, but it kept being set on fire by the player riding it, and it would make no sense to not protect the player riding it from fire.

Original author couldn't sprite, and I can't too, so...

Removed again...

Modpack and website links removed due to minecraft.jar download.

Since I don't have access to the blog and will not for the foreseeable future, I made this post here.

Since the 1.5 update is coming, it would be way too boring to release a straight port. Problem is, Alblaka has been too busy to bring us new content, so how about I bring my typically addon-merging content. This time, the victim is CiderBoats, whose author admitted laziness and wanted me to pick it up.

The Rubber Dinghy makes rough rides easier. While wooden boats break into pieces when crashed, these ones - despite being less crash resistant - get a little bit torn, but luckily a piece of rubber is enough to bring it back in action.

For your all-around boating needs, the Carbon Fiber Canoe is quite a bit harder to crash, and if it does, it always drops itself. Useful for laggy SMP or navigating rivers.

And finally, for those who really like crossing an ocean, the Electric Boat drains energy from your batpack, but while doing that, it provides roughly 50% faster acceleration and twice the top speed. While the refined iron shell makes it slightly more resistant than a carbon fiber canoe, it is too heavy for Steve to push by himself.

PSA: This is being integrated.

Links removed due to .minecraft download.

Btw, I do have access to the mod panel now, so feel free to report server posts like that.

There's no linkback on the platform entry, nor a link to your website which has the linkback proper.

We actually have two varieties of custom explosion code: one optimized for tiny explosions (used by dynamite) and another optimized for huge explosions (used by ITNT and nukes), the latter supporting nuke poison and featuring an improved raytracer - if you've played IC1, three words for you: shining sun pattern.

I'm cutting this here. I apologize for the inclusion of Big Dig in the list, must have been a mistake when checking the licensing.

Back on topic please.

Big Dig has been removed in a cleanup I did earlier today.

I agree with CrafterOfMines.

I'd like to weigh in one more thing regarding the platform:

What in here requires modpack makers to comply with the mod authors? While they can't insult our permissioning systems, they aren't required to abide by them.

If it was the mining dead, I swear IC2 was on their initial, very old mod set, and that's been fixed.

If there's anything Saul is trying to imply, is that I did it while disagreeing with the folks. I agreed with them, it was blatant spyware, and went with an anonymous system.

API changes weren't done yet.

I haven't bothered to read this bag of flaming.

My response: That download, unlike most ones that mods do, is threaded.

Re: uploading usernames: the code does not do that. I had a talk with ForgeCraft folks and even Alblaka himself, who told me not to upload usernames, so I didn't. That paste comes from the pre-planning stage, and I don't know why is it still spreading around.

Re: Platform: The Platform doesn't require modpacks to follow their mods' redistribution policies, and even so, Alblaka himself (again) told me that platform packs should be liable for permissions, just like FTB private packs.

PS: I just updated the beta, which should have a better message as suggested by Alblaka. I can't do further refinements because the codebase is already in 1.5.

You can enchant ultimate solar helmets.
