I've been learning the basics of Java programming in the past week, and I was able to create a mod, More Rare Drops (MRD)!

Official Thread

Feel free to reply to that thread to keep it on the first page of the MInecraft Forums.

Basically, MRD adds rare drop items for monsters that don't already drop rare items or blocks upon death. For example: a spider will rarely drop a fishing rod upon death. Or, in very, very rare cases, it will drop a cobweb upon death. That is, IF you are using MRD.

Hope you all enjoy!

Very nice! I think you should make a More Cake Flavors mod <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>

And since you bring up a bright idea, how do you think More Cake Flavors should affect gameplay?

You should get potion buffs when you eat the cakes. e.g you get speed if you eat a lemon cake , strength from a chocalate cake, Health from a strawberry cake, fire resist if you eat a chili peper cake <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>. Maybye regen from a candy cake or something.

wow! this mod is epicly awsome!

If you're looking for ideas for mods, here's one: http://minetown.net/forum/page/1/m/672632/viewthread/3201377-mod-request

I haven't found any mod that does what I requested so far, so if you manage to make it, you'd be a pioneer <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

I am *this* close to adding a new block (Chocolate Cake) to the game. Yes, I have considered MattG's "More Cake Flavors" mod idea and I am doing it. But I'm just having the hardest time trying to make the textures and Java codes cooperate with each other, to make the chocolate cake appear in-game. And of course, once it works, I'll add a speed potion affect when the chocolate cake is consumed.

And as for Landro's mod idea - sorry, but the "More Cake Flavors" mod is my priority, since there's already other people working on Landro's mod request.
