MineCraft Blog post #2

We are still in the preparation phase of our project, doing research. This week we chose to research how mine craft is constructed and by extension of that how mine craft mods are constructed. The creator of mine craft, Notch has written several blog posts about how him and his team created  the game, these where very helpful in understanding the mindset in which the game is written. As well as Notchs blogs I also looked at various youtube videos and reddit posts discussing the games most popular mods and how they where created.

Mine Craft Armour Re texturing

Image
This week I worked mostly on re-designing minecrafts various armor textures. First I had to go throug the minecraft assest file folder searching through about 400 files attempting to find the diamond armour texture template. After I had found the file I began the very slow process of re-coloring ad re shading the new armors we plant to implement. I first had to sample the colors from the emerald then re color the un-shaded portion of the armor. After that I had to re shade the armor. That involved measuring the differences of the original blues and attempting to find greens that are equal shades apart.

Potions

Image
Me and had made little progress this week due to the fact that I was quite sick and frankly still am. This week however we discussed possible potions. The potions discussed where that of blindness and haste. If hit with a potion of blindness it limits the players view to a small distance in front of them. If a player uses a potion of haste it allows them to mine faster. We chose to attempt to re create these potions because they are not in the base version of mine craft but they are in a player versus player mod that we both enjoyed, so we decided to attempt to re-create them. This will most likely prove to be fairly difficult as potions are one of the more complex items in mine craft.  We also discussed adding a healing food item, this item would allow the player to receive a speed increase and began to gain some healing over time.

The missing Alfredo

Image
My group recently cooked Chicken Alfredo. I could not make it as I was visiting family. From what I have heard about it, it was one of our most successful meals to date. Costing less than ten dollars and serving around six, it was also the most cost efficient meal we have ever made. Our plan for our next is to make a Greek lemon chicken. For this meal I will be supplying the ingredients, I am prepared for it except actually buy the chicken, I do not want to get it to early as chicken does not last very long even when refrigerated.
