If you're using a pre-3.0 version of Randomobs (pre-1.8.1 Minecraft), you need PReader by Roundaround. Since he decided not to distribute the old version anymore, and we still need the old version, here is a rehosted one : LINK.
The base of the mod is now part of MCPatcher. All we now ditribute are the skins for the mobs, so have fun ! We'll go on creating new skins so that your mobs are always more different !

3. Put the textures you downloaded into the corresponding mob's folder in your minecraft.jar.
4. Run Minecraft, and enjoy.
Note : On some computers, a "macosx" or "DS_Store" file appears : it's because I work on Mac OS X. They are trash files, you can delete them without any problems ; all you need are the class files and the textures.

Add Useful Lasers to Minecraft with this Mod (1.8.1)

Minecraft 1.8.1 laser mod
This mod adds lasers to the game. These lasers have fully customizable features, power, and ranges. They can be used to do everything from mod traps to fences to farming machines.
Usage:
Every laser recipe uses the ruby. The recipe for a ruby is:



The Laser:

Minecraft laser block 1.8.1 best

The laser block shoots a laser beam when activated. It shoots a small, white laser beam. It is somewhat useless as it is, but a lens can help increase it’s strength.

Laser Block Recipe 1.8.1

Laser Reflector:

Laser reflector mod laser beam

The laser reflector takes in a laser beam and reflects it. Just like with the laser block you can put lenses on it to increase its usability.

Reflector Recipe 1.8.1

Laser Sensor:

Laser Sensor best mods for minecraft 1.8.1

The laser sensor provides power to redstone and powered devices when a laser beam is shined on it. This is perfect for sending power and signals over a distance.



Laser Sensor 1.8.1

Lenses:
Lenses can be used to change the colors, functions, abilities and properties of lasers. First you will need to craft a lens bench:


An example of a lens recipe is:





You will need to put a solid block on the edge to form the lens. You can use:
Planks
Stone
Cobblestone
Bricks
Stone bricks
Iron block
Gold block
Sandstone
Wood
 Using an enderpearl anywhere in the recipe will give the laser advanced power.



You can change the color by putting dye into one of the other slots. Each color changes the function of the laser.
White:
Can be used as a detector.
Power 1-3: Blocked by items, mobs, and player.
Power 4-6: Blocked by mobs and players.
Power 7-9: Blocked by player only.
Red:
The red beam gives off heat. It deals damage, catches things on fire, and destroys blocks.
Power: Each level improves the damage per second, the change to set an entity on fire and the beam can dig through harder blocks. Maximum damage: 30 hearts per second!
Advanced: Prevents beam from destruction of items.
Green:
The green laser speeds up plant grow rate. If the user cuts a tree that is under the effect of an advanced green beam, the whole tree will fall.
Higher Power: Speeds up plant grow rate.
Advanced: Tree-cutting mechanism avaible.
Blue:
Slows down mobs in the laser beam.
Power n: Slows down target to n*10%.
Advanced: Slows down by vertical axis.
Yellow:
The yellow beam provides more light.
Power n: 4+n Lightlevel
Advancded: The beam passes through solid blocks as if there wasn’t any.
Cyan:
This beam can push entities.
Power n: Pulls stuff with acceleration 0.4*n m/s.
Advanced: Pushes instead. If the beam is horizontal, it also pushes entities top with same acceleration.
Purple: A hybrid of red and blue.



Putting certain items in the recipe will increase its power, up to a maximum of 9.
The power will increase the properties of the beam.





By default a laser beam will have a range of 10. The range can be increased or worsened up to a maximum of 100.

Hold Mouse2 to go into rage mode and use your fists. You can perform a kick of justice by jumping and tapping Mouse2. It uses less stamina than fists.
You can only go into rage mode with a bare chest and empty hands. It drains a lot of hunger and stamina, so eat before raging!

Here's a few videos showing this last version. Other tutorials are available from the BuildCraft YouTube channel.

If you're looking for setting up a multiplayer environment with BuildCraft, you may want to checkout the power packages of mossycobble. This is the environment that I use to develop and test BuildCraft SMP features. In addition to that, I am personally installing and maintaining the official BuildCraft server binaries there (currently BuildCraft 1.7.3.4 and 2.1.1), making support much easier.

Previous versions available on the BuildCraft wiki.

If you have some extra dollars, you can become a BuildCraft supporter and lobbyist!. You'll find under the spoiler button below areas of interest for the next major release. Things are likely to get in eventually, but if you want to, you can lobby for your area of interest. To do so, when you make a donation, send me an e-mail or a mp telling me which of the following you would like to vote for. I'll be sending preliminary results in the next few days. At the beginning of each release development cycle, I'll pick up the area that got the most donation into the highest priority. Don't hesitate to be specific about what you'd like to get in. There's no guarantee, but lobbyists wishes are the most likely to come true!



Spoiler:
[L.1] More builders capabilities
[L.2] More circuit capabilities (detectors, counters...)
[L.3] More SMP capabilities
[L.4] More powering capabilities (for faster machines, alternative to redstone current...)
[L.5] More mining capabilities (e.g. horizontal mining, support for multiple quarries per pit...)
[L.6] More pipe capability (pipes carrying power, concentrating objects, extracting selective objects...)
[L.0] Nothing in particular, just keep up the good work!

Documentation

Since things start to get complicated, official BuildCraft documentation has been written. It can be obtained in paper or pdf form, purchased from the lulu platform. This document contains deep details on how block work and can be used - a must to use BuildCraft to the top of its functionality!

Client - Windows Automatic Installation

Important note - this procedure works on a freshly updated Minecraft. For more complex installation, in particular with other mods, it may be preferable to use the manual procedure.

1. Download all the client BuildCraft packages that you want to install.
2. Download the Minecraft mod pack installation assistant from http://www.mediafire..._installer.jar.
3. Download the latest BuildCraft mod pack description from http://www.mediafire...aft-2.2.1.pack.
4. Double click on the file mod_pack_installer.jar. If that doesn't work, you probably need to install Java, from http://www.java.com/...nload/index.jsp
5. Select the pack that you want to install
6. You will now see all the files required. You may miss some BuildCraft packages, or some dependencies. Click on the "Download" button to get the files that are missing, and then "Refresh".
7. Once everything is green, the "Install" button should be clickable. Click on it. Let it do the magic!

And some explainations from Hypnotoad:




Client - Manual Installation

1. First, install ModLoader http://www.minecraft...s-mods-updates/
2. Then, install ModLoaderMP http://www.minecraft...-teams-mputils/
3. Starting BuildCraft 2.0.0, you will need to install Minecraft forge http://www.minecraft...inecraft-forge/
4. Get the client packages of BuildCraft that you want to use (see above). Here's the dependency and content details:

Core: no dependencies, provides only basic functionalities.
Transport: Depends on Core, provides only pipes.
Factory: Depends on Core , provides automatic crafting table, mining well and quarry.
Builders: Depends on Core , provides land markers and filler.
Energy: Depends on Core , provides oil and engines.

You should then be familiar with the .minecraft folder containing the minecraft resources. In .minecraft/mods, drop the zip(s) file containing the part of the release that you want to install.

WARNING By default, the Energy mod is set to redstone power. In order to enable the engine powering machines, you will need to change a line in the BuildCraft config file:
power.framework=buildcraft.energy.PneumaticPowerFramework

Some live explanations made by Hypnotoad for a 2.0.x version:




And for 1.8.1.1:





Server

1. First, install ModLoaderMP Server http://www.minecraft...-teams-mputils/
2. Starting BuildCraft 2.0.0, you will need to install Minecraft forge http://www.minecraft...inecraft-forge/
3. Get the client packages of BuildCraft that you want to use (see above).
4. Extract the contents of these packages right into minecraft_server.jar

Add Weeping Angels to Minecraft with this Mod (1.8.1)


1.8 Weeping Angels Mod Minecraft
This mod adds a new mob called Weeping Angels to the game. Weeping Angels are some of the most scary, dangerous creatures in the game. At first glance they look harmless and peaceful. But as soon as you look away they will change completely…
Usage:
The Weeping Angel is a rare creature. But if the player is unfortunate enough to encounter one, they will be in grave danger. When looked at it will freeze. But as soon as the player looks away it will rush towards the player. If the Angel is near a light source, it will attempt to remove it so they can attack the player in the dark.

The Weeping Angel has a 1 in 30 chance of becoming a teleporter. Teleporters will teleport the player somewhere within a 200 block radius upon attack.
On hard mode, Weeping Angels can only be killed with a diamond pickaxe. On normal they can be killed with an iron pickaxe or better.
