Intro

Since this was my first mod I wanted to start out with something "basic" and build upon it. I noticed that there was a plugin called IceCrafter that allowed you to make Ice via the crafting screen. I realized that it was last updated in December, so I got to work. This plugin is however not a copy or a fork. I completly wrote this from scratch and plan to add more features as I progress.

Demo

Here is how this works. Simply paste the .jar file inside your plugins folder, the run minecraft. It really is that simple. Then follow the following crafting recipe to get your ice block.

icebox.craft: Allows the player/group to craft the ice block.

    world_Ice_Block: Suddenly the heat gained was higher than 3.14x10^6, therefore the ice is gone.
