HC REVIEW - 10/13/14

--------------------------------------

Mod Spotlight:

Gravestone Mod By: Subaraki

LINK

This mod is great for SP or SMP modes. IF you die, your loot will get saved in a really nice gravestone, and a beam of light will shine up to the sky to allow you to find it easily. If you on a server, the gravestone can only be destoryed by the person who died, and if another player LOOTS it, they can ONLY TAKE 1 Item.

I think thats the coolest thing about this mod, really makes you have to decide, what you LOOT from the player your killed. So far, no bugs or issues exist with the mod on servers.

Another neat thing about this mod is that server owners can choose to let players customize what gravestone will spawn when they die, or they can choose to make it so that certain gravestones will apper if the player dies at a certain XP level.

meaning, the higher there XP. The More EPIC the Gravestone! Def. a great mod to check out.

Map Spotlight:

The Little Clay Box By: Reather

LINK

This is a fun litte map, it'll take youe 15-30 minutes to play thru it.

It uses a lot of the new commands added since 1.8.0 Whats really fun about this map is that it can confuse the heck out out of you. Some things seem really easy.

and other times, you wondering what you did that solved it. All you know is somehow,

this box seems way bigger on the inside...

Server Plugin Spotlight:

Gringots Plugin By: ebenwert

LINK

Gringotts is an item-based economy (currency) plugin for the Bukkit Minecraft server platform.

Unlike earlier economy plugins, all currency value and money transactions are based on actual items in Minecraft, per default emeralds.

The goals are to add a greater level of immersion, a generally more Minecraft-like feeling, and in the case of a PvP environment, making the currency itself vulnerable to raiding.

If you put down a chest and place a sign on it with the words : [VAULT] (case sensitive) you'll be able to store your money to use on the server, without the need to have the physical money in your inventory.

dillongoo

This guy puts together some pretty great Youtube CG animated short films.

A lot of his minecraft work is from 2 years ago. he recently put out a new animated short for MC. but, he really hasnt been posting anything in a while.

Feel free to send em some feedback, let em know i sent ya, and tell em you'ld like to see more work from him. Perhaps him might create a few more animated shorts just cause you asked

Either way, there really good work and fun to watch.
