Modpack Creators: You may use my mods in your modpacks. I would appreciate credit for my mod.
NEW!
The Parachute Mod has been completely overhauled. There is now a powered paraglider as well as the original parachute. The original parachute is no longer able to rise with the SPACE bar. Only the powered paraglider will do that. The parachute will still use thermals from lava, campfires and other heat sources. Most of the config options have been removed.
The parachute/paragliders can be crafted in the color you want using colored wool or dyed from a white parachute/paraglider using dye. There are two custom colors, rainbow and camo. The rainbow is crafted using red, green, purple wool. The camo is crafted using green, brown, lime wool. Parachute/Paragliders have their own creative tab.
The HUD visibility can be toggled with the 'H' key. See the new Compass HUD below with an explanation of the rings and text.
Turbulence while on the parachute occurs while in bad weather. If it's raining the parachute gets blown around some, if it's storming (thundering) there's even more turbulence. Thanks to anxcon for this idea.
You can rise by being over lava or other heat sources. Thanks to anxcon for this idea too.
The Automatic Activation Device (AAD) functionality can be used to automatically deploy the parachute immediately after falling a minimum distance (5 meters). The AAD can be turned on/off by right clicking on the parachute while it is active in your inventory The item name will change to reflect the AAD status.
The parachute allows you to jump from high places and control your decent. Now base jumping in Minecraft is possible! The parachute pretty much steers just like the boat. It's fun! It only takes a few jumps to learn to skydive! Pressing the 'W' key will give you forward motion that can take you pretty far. The parachute will deploy by right-clicking on the parachute item after you jump. Auto dismount will occur if the player collides with the ground or blocks other than leaves. LSHIFT works as usual.
On the Paraglider use the space bar key to add power and you will rise up. The paraglider can be repaired with an anvil and redstone. 64 redstones will provide 100% fuel. And the parachute can be repaired with string on an anvil.
The leather pack texture is made by TQuin, thanks!**

Maybe I'm missing it somewhere, but how do I craft the paraglider? I have the parachute, but I didn't realize you took out the ability to rise with space bar. I searched elsewhere and came up with this similar mod: http://www.9minecraft.net/parachute-mod/. Not sure if that's you, but it shows other things to craft but I still don't know what I need for the powered glider.
In reply to Big_Frizzle:
Well I guess having a picture would help. So to make a powered paraglider you use the parachute recipe and add a redstone in the middle box. I'll put up an image soon.
I don't know about the 9minecraft.net thing. I only upload to this site.
In reply to pbrane0:
Awesome thanks! The other site's parachute is described just like yours, and even thanks the same guy for the textures. Hopefully someone didn't steal yours.
Hey I made a Video about your mod I hope this is ok
Hello
I saw a little mistake with the texturing of the paracute;
As i looked to the left while gliding with the rainbow paraglider (first person view), i saw two times the red and orange stripe there.
I wonder, why in your models the directions of x and z axis are switched.
In my animal entity models the x-axis goes from side to side and the z-axis goes from front to rear.
If you do this, the front and rear of the model also show the stripes of the rainbow texture.
just rotate the texture in the .png-file by 90°.
And then you need to create one of the narrow side boxes with a texture offset to show the purple and magenta part of the texture.
And i noticed, that the new paraglider didn´t rise, if i pressed space...
And i see no worn backpack and belts.
But cool idea to have the 16 minecraft colors to choose from.
In reply to drachenbauer32:
I originally used the boat code to model the parachute, I see that the original did not follow the OGL right-hand coord system. I have fixed both the models and textures. As for the paraglider not rising, I can't duplicate that. And the pack shows up in my tests. Make sure you are on Java 8 and the latest Forge version.
Hello
I try the 1.15.2 version, but it crashed and i got an error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No renderer registered for parachutemod:parachute
as i restarted the launcher.
Can you please fix it?
I decompiled your mod and cannot find a line, that registers the renderer for the parachute
maybe You need a FMLClientSetupEvent-method, where you register your stuff and put in something like this:
Where i placed "your entitytype", you have to put the Entitytype of your parachute.
In reply to drachenbauer32:
The source is on the main page. I do register the renderers. I'm not sure what is wrong here. I'm working on a major redesign of the parachute mod now. It will probably be posted in the next few days.
I already created a mod of my own and i´m working on some more mods.
So i thaught, i can help you, get it to work on 1.15.2.
I just didn´t notice, that you published the source-code, too
Now i turned it into an Eclipse-project (by using the latest forge and snapchot).
But there are many methods and fields, where the names are not clear and i don´t know, wich the right new names are...
At least i replaced all the weird names with the new clear names.
But as i started a testlaunch, the test-client starts without the mot and in the console i found the following line:
My idea here is, that i give you the modifyed code, if i get it to work on 1.15.2 and you can put my nickname into the team-list for this mod, if you want.
Now i noticed, that i get the error with the renderer, if i use the newest optifine preview release.
As i removed it from my mods-folder, i got no more error.
But i cannot see strings, wich connect my character to the parachute.
And i see no parachute-backpack on my character, only a little parachute as item in the hand..
How do i change the color of my parachute?
How can i turn your actual source-code into a mod-jar?
Greetings
I first started using this mod about a month ago. absolutely nothing wrong and very easy to use. congrats on very good mod.
now the bad news. i resently restarted my world due to another problem with another mod and ended up having to delete entire minecraft folder and reloading everything. apparently you changed something resently in order to sync with client and servers. i have to report that in 1.14.4 and SSP there is thermal noise but no thermal lift. i deleted the 465 version and downloaded the 456 and all works well.

In reply to Tecknosl:
Glad to hear you like the mod! Sorry about the thermal thing. Did you check the config file? The defaults should be okay. I am currently working on a 1.15.2 redesign so I probably won't be troubleshooting 465.
Really great mod, tried it out a bit in SP 1.15.2 and it's fun. Keep up the great work!
Got a problem on my MP 1.15.2 server though:
Whenever the parachute is triggered (Automatically or manually) I'm constantly slowly drifting upwards even if there's no lava or anything but regular dirt underneath. This doesn't change no matter how I adjust the config client- or serverside or what I have in my hand/inventory at the time.
It's not unusable, but doing a drop and stop is a bit awkward.
Client and Server use the exact same config settings and version, of course.
i love this mod thx
Heyo! Me and my friends love your mod on our server and I see you recently tried to fix the syncing of players for 1.15.1. Is there any chance you are going to backport these changes to 1.14.4?
In reply to Dilllxd:
Well I hadn't thought about that. Let me see what I can do.
In reply to Dilllxd:
So the back-porting is done. I have no way to test the player on parachute positioning on the server. The config sync should work just like it does in 1.15.x Let me know if there is a problem with the positioning.
In reply to pbrane0:
Thank you for taking the time to backport the changes and from my testing on a LAN hosted server and a Multiplayer actual server the position syncing is still not working. However, config syncing seems to be working for me. If there is anyway I can help with debugging let me know! :)
EDIT: From further thinking and testing the 1.15.1 position syncing does also not work on a LAN hosted server.
In reply to Dilllxd:
Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep working on the positioning bug. I'll probably ask you to test at some point if you would. Thanks.
