Mods/IndustrialCraft²

=Disclaimer= This is not the official IndustrialCraft forum post, nor the official wiki. This is simply meant to be more helpful. =Introduction= IndustralCraft adds over 100 new blocks and items with the goal of taking the Minecraft experience to the next technological level. This increases the player's efficiency and productivity when gathering resources and performing landscaping as well as introducing some fun new gizmos. Author Alblaka is quite attentive to comments left on the Minecraft Forum Page and releases changes in updates quite regularly. This means that the content on this page can become out-dated. Please feel free to contribute or explain changes on the discussion page so this page can be kept up to date with the latest releases. The official IC wiki can be found.

Dependencies
The IndustrialCraft mod requires installing the Modloader mod, then SDK's ModLoaderMP before installing IndustrialCraft.

Incompatibilities
IndustrialCraft has few incompatibilities with other mods because of its configuration.
 * IndustrialCraft's Jetpack will not work with Optimine. Optimine's code breaks the code needed for the jetpack.
 * HD packs will not work out of the tin with IndustrialCraft. Alblaka specifically doesn't like anything other than the default 16x16 textures. However, you could resize them with a tool he notes in his FAQ, you can try to find HD versions, or you can make them yourself.
 * Anything modifying fd.class could cause incompatibilities with the nanosuit.
 * Anything not using ModLoader has a chance to conflict with this mod.

Common Problems

 * The jetpack doesn't work.
 * Solution: Remove Optimine.
 * The nanosuit crashes the game.
 * Solution: You probably forgot to enable it in the configuration file, or another mod is modifying fd.class.
 * The game doesn't load, it only shows a black screen.
 * Solution: As with any other mod, you forgot to delete the META-INF folder in minecraft.jar.

Bugs
NOTE: This is not the correct forum to express bugs that you find!
 * -If you find a bug, please gather as much information as possible including: what is the expected behavior, what actually happened, exact steps to cause the bug, error reports (if applicable), and version of IndustrialCraft; then post on the author's forum entry so Alblaka can try to fix them.

On-Going "Quirks" can be reported for items or blocks in their individual notes: sections only after they have been around for a while and it does not look like the author has any intention to change them. When making such an entry, please include the IndustrialCraft version number.

Additional Notes

 * Note that PlasticCraft's similar items cannot be used in this mod's recipies.

=Mod Specifics=

Because of the wealth of items, blocks, and recipes that have been added by the IndustrialCraft mod, the following section attempts to detail these changes to decrease the user's confusion and increase their enjoyment. As opposed to the mod author's humorous, tongue-in-cheek, sales-pitch style post, these pages will describe everything in a staight-forward manner using clear English.

New Mobs
IndustrialCraft currently does not introduce any new Mobs.

New Items
IndustrialCraft introduces approximately 40 (todo: insert # here) new items to Minecraft. They are divided into the following categories/pages for ease of viewing.

Natural Resources

 * IndustrialCraft introduces a few new resources to the Minecraft terrain. Uranium is dropped from Uranium Ore much like Coal or Diamond; a single unit is dropped for every ore mined.

 * IndustrialCraft also adds many raw materials that cannot be found in nature themselves, but are manufactured directly from natural materials. These include: Bronze Dust, Coal Dust, Copper Dust, Gold Dust, Iron Dust, Rubber, Tin Dust, and a Glowstone Dust recipe especially for those playing IndustrialCraft in SMP mode.

New Blocks

 * IndustrialCraft introduces a very large number of new blocks. They have been divided up into the following categories and pages for ease of viewing.
