Xie’s Mods
Xie’s Mods is the core of my farming mod, plus the other mods that are to follow. It’s comprised of a number of flexible classes that extend the functionality of vanilla blocks and items, and a JSON parser that reads in one or more configuration files and turns them into in-game content. The benefit of doing things this way should be apparent – modifying content no longer requires me to recompile and re-release the mod, all you need to do is download a new configuration file, or even edit it yourself. Better yet, additional content may also be added with extra configuration files and images!
Installation:
- Install Minecraft Forge.
- Download the mod .zip file from the link at the bottom of this post
