Talisman Craft

This mod introduces many new powerful items that allow various different magic possibilities. The combination of different talisman abilities is encouraged to find more ways to play the game, build adventure maps, or to have epic multiplayer battles.

27 Talismans, 13 Blocks, 3 mobs, and many ingredients make this mod rather beefy, but you will find out that many of these are rather rare, or hard to get.

                         Ocean friendly-I originally envisioned this as a way to explore underwater and obtain                               clay from oceans easier.

                             Cave friendly version of the Suppression Aura-Experimentation with trying to make                                 the Suppression Aura work with non-source blocks led me to separate these                                         talismans to solve a bug where it would delete any block from the server and not                                    the client causing major issues

                            Constantly uses Magic Dust

            Ice Shard-

            Swimming Aura-

                        Speeds up player movement in water

This mod is a work in progress. I would greatly appreciate bug reports, helpful suggestions, and any advice from more experienced modders. Most of my textures were made on a whim and I will be first to accept that they suck, so, if you have a texture that I like better, I will gladly use yours instead (I will give credit of course).

I have no intention of restricting what you do with this mod. You may use it in mod packs. You may look at my source code. However, I only ask that you do not make money off of this mod, and that you don’t call it your own.

Could someone notify me of the magic dust per second consumption of each aura? (I wonder if this differs from computer to computer due to performance speed) This info would be helpful for balancing

I would also like to know a list of where the Aquaphobe and Magic Bat mobs have been found.

Recipes and a changelog may be found inside the mod zip file (be sure to keep the original zip intact for Forge.)

 Known Bugs

*          When a Spirit Talisman: Spirit Aura is in the player inventory, the player cannot use the creative flying ability. This is not intentional, but if you are in creative, why would you have the need for the Spirit Aura anyway?

*          Lightning will continuously render. The extra bolts don’t actually strike. It is a cool effect, but, none–the-less, it is still a bug. This is due to an error in rendering on the client or the server. Two lightning balls will appear, one for client and one for server, but only one will register for magic dust consumption

*          If you can push the Windy aura in the right way, Steve will fly uncontrollably. There are safe guards in place, but who knows what you come up with

*          Some talismans have anomalous magic dust consumption (I think I squished most of these)

*          Projectile based talismans fail to render their projectiles (projectile still fires). Only one talisman doesn’t fail. I tried re-codding the others in the same way but they still don’t render.

*          Centering of the Auric Pyroid's fire (I’ve messed with this for so long, it’s rather frustrating)

Planned Changes

*          New textures for the set stones, and talismans

*          New talisman themes for Metal and Enchanting (At this point this will be in the far future)

*          New talisman variants: Astral Projection, Detonation Explosives, Lava Lake Storage, Stone Wall Generator, Omni-Aura

*          Mobs to drop ingredients to make talisman variations (Mostly Done)

*          Custom sounds (not likely)

*          New names for mobs and various items

*          New models and textures for mobs

*          Thinking about a name change for the entire mod

*          Fixes to Wind Aura to allow damage

*          Particle effects

*          New function for various essence: a usable item that gives a single use talisman effect
