Mod Progress

INTRO

This article will cover the mods stages of development. Ideas that have yet to be fully developed will be listed as "unplanned". Ideas which have been sketched out fully will be listed as "planned". Fully developed ideas that have been programmed will be listed as "finished". Finished ideas that have been tested will be listed as "complete". Note that ideas which may or may not be released will be left blank (such as specialization systems) Also note that a * indicates sprite and GUI completion while a # indicates recipe and item/block number assignment.

Due to the incredibly complex nature of the mod some things on this list may be absent or redundant. In time this should be rectified, with individual elements of various sub-groups receiving a listing.

-note:testing should be done with all aspects of each element. keep in mind that things should be checked that they are fully working in all configurations. they should also be tested with multiple people to determine how well they perform in SMP environments. in addition, they should be tested thoroughly for exploits, including duping, cheesing, etc

REVISION 1 -complete overhaul resulting in a more comprehensive and organized arrangement -please keep in mind that many "unplanned" concepts are 50-90% done, however I am not listing thing as done until they are in my opinion 100% ready to go to the programmers

[mensreaMC]

REVISION 2 -marked off some things as planned. again, mind the fact that some things are still on paper -this article lays out all the features which I would like to eventually have. other articles will cover what phases some of these various features should be released in

[mensreaMC]

REVISION 3 -cluttering up things and only relevant to me
