I dont think anything special need be done dependency wise. I mean I'm not understanding what the problem is perhaps its my own ignorance. I have mods that havent been updated since 1.0.1 and they play nice with mods. If I can have a plugin fill a chest with items from mods as the worlds generated is it so much different to tell EHM that theres additional types of say iron to worry about?

I dont want to sound like a nudge just with the advent of bukkits that can run mods with no issues its going to become an issue for plugin developers eventually.

I think it would only be beneficial to the mod itself to be compatible with basically every mod in existence as many of them add some form of custom ore block whether it be ic2's copper or thaumcrafts crystal shards.

@joormatt

I was planning on adding that in any way, so yes. Wanted to decouple the hardened stone feature into a new category called mining, to be like this:

mining:
  mining ore softens stone: true
  no tunneling: true

Though, no tunneling depends on the mining ore softens stone, I guess I have to think a bit harder.

@orodai

We'll see about that, if I have to take a dependency or write code that will break if whatever mod you are using updates that will probably not happen. I think it would be better to write a small plugin just for that purpose instead of integrating it into the main plugin just for one person.

@Diemex

Ores added by mods dont trigger the softening. Now with the cb's that dont require mod ports its trouble getting devs to modify the plugins to play nice with mod additions.

I hope he chooses you too, with all the mods I have running its really holding things back from launching. All my testers love the functions but its moot seeing as half of whats getting mined doesn't trigger cave ins.

@orodai

The way bigscary designed the code for the config a dev has to do a lot of copy and pasting to add a new configoption. I wrote a class that does this dynamically, I had planned to push that in the next few days. Then it's going to be very easy for the next dev to add new config values. I had planned to do a big revamp of the config and add a quite a few configoptions. I believe that adding more customization will make it easier for admins :). For example one of my friends has built his huge elaborate base in the dessert and because there is no configoption to turn of the limited farming in desserts I actually had to add one for myself :) . Hopefully he chooses me as a dev :). I have spent a lot of time on the code already, adding stuff that is currently only on my server...

What do you mean with "custom" ore? All ores already soften stone.

Could the next developer please think about adding custom ores to the list that will soften stone, Ive already tried to pay to get it done.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for someone to take over this plugin. If you're interested, please contact me via private message.

3.0.1 Fix

• Blazes getting hit when they're over the void won't cause a problem.

@Ieatlego

I don't know how the other plugin works. What I have changed about zombies is that first, they can spawn under sea level in the light when players are around, and second, they have about a 25% chance to respawn when you kill them (half health), unless they're on fire when they die. You could try disabling those two features to see if it fixes your zombie overload problem.

@joormatt

Looks good to me. If a player dies from a cave-in, the death message is "suffocated in a wall". A cave-in will only happen when there's dirt compacted in the ceiling and a player carelessly mines near it.

@Bluffer17

Unfortunately, it's not possible to outright give a monster a potion effect. Anyway I think it's okay that they die in the fire, since they're only one of many challenges.

The more players avoid monsters, the more crowded the area gets, to the point of being totally overwhelmed.

Why do you want to stop the dragon from respawning right away?

@joormatt

That feature is bound to the hardened stone, mining ores turns surrounding stone to cobble which falls like sand does. Sometimes if you have a lot of unupdated dirt, breaking one ore or placing a torch can update the whole ceiling and it collapses on top of you.

@Gummituinen

Will do! Will have to put some work into balancing it though, so it may take a while for me to test it on my server and push it once it's balanced.

@joormatt

mods arent affected like players are. try deop people you want affected.

@bigscary

Can you please update your GitHub repository to reflect ExtraHardMode 3.0 as well?

3.0 Updates!

You should probably delete your messages.yml file to get the new defaults for this version. If you've customized it, then at least update the swimming limitation message to reflect the changes described below, so that your players will not be confused.

• Redesigned swimming limitation to be based on total inventory slots filled. Worn items are more problematic than when they're simply carried in your backpack. This means players can't simply move armor to their inventory to get around the swimming limitation, then put it back on after swimming, giving players a bigger incentive to problem-solve a water obstacle.

• Added tree felling code for more "realistic" tree chopping. Side effect - fewer tree tops left floating in the air. It's not perfect, but works great for most tree situations. There's a config option to disable, in case you don't like it or have another plugin to do it.

• Big plants (tree, mushrooms, etc) will not grow in the desert.

@MKindy

No sorry, allowing players to use diamond and iron picks with their default durability allows them to tunnel around all they want, so you might as well allow them to use wooden and stone picks for stone as well - before they break their (iron or diamond) pick, it's very likely they will already have the materials to make a new one or at least repair it on an anvil.

Sorry I don't plan to mess with the torch thing - it's work for me that only results in Minecraft being consistently weird. I won't go out of my way to reproduce a Mojang bug in my code. :)

@SmoothNanners

Yep, I didn't bother to put gravel on the list because it's rare to encounter it while opportunistically placing torches. I figured I'd save a CPU cycle or two that way.

@slimedog007

If you leave the end, he won because you ran away. The message will only be shown if you started a fight with him - if you just walk in and then back out, it won't appear.

The healing effect is already toggleable. See config file.

@draganot

The test server is on hard difficulty. Please, add punctuation next time. :)

@Bluffer17

Good call, will fix.

@ajaxrayder

No IDs, just Bukkit material names.

@Gummituinen

You can do the first by setting your server difficulty on hard.

Cave spiders are way too crazy already. If anything, they need a nerf, not a buff. Or are you suggesting replacing poison effect with hunger effect?
