ClaySoil is now part of the new Tweak Pack mod.
After playing Minecraft for quite a while I decided to build something that resembled a real world house. For this I would need lots of bricks, not a problem with the huge stacks of clay I had gathered from my random wandering through the world.
Needless to say I got two layers done before running out of brick blocks. There just isnt enough clay in the world.
The world generator in later versions creates more, but I like the world I have. There are also mods that increase the amount of clay generated, but again I didnt want to have to regenerate it.
I needed an alternative way to get clay. Then I thought about real life. The soil around here has a fairly high percentage of clay so it made perfect sense to also get clay when digging up dirt blocks.
Therefore I present the ClaySoil mod. This alters the Dirt (and Grass, Mycelium) blocks to give a chance of also getting a piece of clay whenever you harvest those blocks.
This mod requires Forge.
ClaySoil is available for both single-player and multi-player. The multi-player mod is server-side only so does not require modded clients.
Version 1.1: Added clay drop from Mycelium block.
Version 1.2: This now requires Forge, but must still be installed in minecraft.jar
Version 1.3: ClaySoil is now an FML coremod, this means you can just copy the file into the coremods folder to install.
Version 1.4: Updated for the latest Minecraft and Forge versions, various internal optimisations.
Version 1.5: Updated for the latest Minecraft and Forge versions. No longer a coremod thanks to a feature in the latest version of Forge, this means it shouldnt require updates for minor minecraft version changes.
