Installation

This mod runs with the help of Minecraft Forge available for download here:

——— http://files.minecraftforge.net/ ———

Download the Minecraft Forge 1.7.2 Installer. Open up the .rar file using something like WinRAR (for Macs, UnrarX works great). Go to Minecraft, and first, click “Edit Profile” and select that you want to run Minecraft version 1.7.2. Hit Play so that the necessary files are generated.

Forge will then allow you to install it by just running the .jar file you downloaded. Select the “Client” version. Open Minecraft again and select that you want to run the “Forge” profile instead of your normal profile. After Forge is done running and setting up your new Minecraft environment, drag and drop this mod into the “mods” folder that is generated in your .minecraft folder (or for Macs, under Library/Application Support/Minecraft). The mod should now be playable!

Acknowledgements

Made by chicklightning (gavrile in Minecraft).

Thanks to LuxLegatus for the creative inspiration.

Thanks to Minecraft Forge, since this project would not have been possible without it.

Thanks to everyone who currently is or ever has played on my server, since you all made Minecraft fun and compelled me to get a job where I could actually teach modding for a living. I would never have gotten the help and materials I needed otherwise, and just knowing that you guys will potentially see and use this mod makes it worth creating. Hope you all have fun!
