- Archery targets for a shooting range
Torch arrows!No longer implemented- Player graves, safekeeping for your last death (assuming you’re capable of regeneration)
- Colored flags for various purposes
- Liquid tanks-- portable, practical, and pliable any-size liquid containment
- Hang gliders!

- Blocks drawn by pencils and crayons that are only seen by the imaginative eye
- Fans-- the power of an industrial fan in the size of a desk fan
- A wearable crane for picking up blocks and entities
- XP Bottler-- should be self-explanatory
- Magnet turtles-- turtles don't have CRT screens, so we should be fine

- The Slimalizer, which detects slime chunks
- Paths, an alternative to gravel roads // m1.6.x, v1.2.0
- The Block Breaker and Block Placer are back! A perfect replacement for the now-dormant RedPower mod

- The Donation Station-- tells you which mod a block or item comes from, and lets you support the modder that created it
- A painting/staining system for blocks, including: // m1.6.x, v.1.2.2
- A Paint Mixer-- makes paint using dyes and milk. Millions of colors possible.
- A paint brush to paint white canvases and other blocks.

- A Squeegee that liquefies paint to clean it off of blocks
Listen to music among other things with the radio!Killed!- Exciting graphics and much more to come.
We will try keep the building instructions as up-to-date as possible, but things may change without notice.
You will require msysgit or git installed with cygwin. Alternatively I would suggest installing GitHub for Windows and checking out the repo with that.
Use Github for Windows or use a command prompt/powershell with git binaries in the Environment path.
git clone https://github.com/OpenMods/OpenBlocks.git
cd OpenBlocks
git submodule init
git submodule update
OpenBlocks uses Forge Gradle build system, as almost any other mod this days. There are few good tutorials, so we will include just basic command for building:
gradle.bat build
The resulting files should be in the build/lib folder. File ending with -deobf is unobfuscated version for development use.
Much the same as Windows, open a terminal window where you wish to checkout the repo and type
git clone https://github.com/OpenMods/OpenBlocks.git
cd OpenBlocks
git submodule init
git submodule update
In OSX, git is typically supplied. Otherwise it can be installed through the apps thingy that OSX has (Obviously I know very little about OSX but you want the dev tools stuff).
(To install git and other command line tools on OS X, tun xcode-select --install in the terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app))
The linux git can be fetched from any package manager. If you're on a Debian based machine (This includes Ubuntu) you likely have aptitude, so the command would be sudo apt-get install git.
If you're running a RedHat based system, such as CentOS or Fedora (or some other Distro I've never heard of), then you might have the yum package manager sudo yum install git-core. In the case that this does not work through yum, you might not have the packages added to yum to be able to find git. I wont go in to these here, but if you have issues feel free to contact NeverCast in #OpenMods on irc.esper.net.
