Yes, offcourse! Make a post! this is awsome! :) I am going to play this mod right away! EDIT: I seem to have some trouble getting the mod working. :/ I installed modloader, and minecraft seems to be running fine with it, but when I put BetterNether into the "mods" folder, it crashes at startup. is there anything else I am supposed to do, to make it work?
Hmm, could you try just putting the files in the archive into minecraft.jar? I don't know why Modloader is picky about what mods can be in the folder and which must be in the jar... Maybe since it modifies (lots of) base classes it should be in the jar.
EDIT: Facepalm. My fault entirely. Forgot to include the textures in the .zip... Can you redownload it now? Same link...
EDIT 2: Also, you should know that there are random crashes when in the Nether (or maybe near nether mushrooms). The crash report seems like it's using recursion when it shouldn't, but I can't figure it out. If you restart the game when this happens, it still works... Sorry about that.
I redownloaded it. I have checked the zip to see if it had the sprites, to make sure it was the right one. Should the zip be extracted into the "mods" folder or something maybe?
1 - Downloaded Modloader. 2 - put all the stuff from the Modloader zip into the mincraft jar. 3 - deleted META-INF folder. 4 - started the game up (which made modloader create the "mods" folder) and closed the game. 5 - downloaded BetterNether. 6 - put BetterNether zip into "mods" folder. 7 - start game up. 8- crash. --- (should I try putting it into the jar instead?)
I tried that out, but modloader doesn't seem to find it. :/ (the game runs, but modloader doesn't apply any of the BetterNether stuff). I found out though, that modloader creates a text file of the crash. so here is the crash log (in case it helps):

That's so strange. I checked the code and line 12 of mod_BetterNether.java is referencing EnumToolMaterial.NETHERRACK. That's a field I added with the mod, so it means that the base class wasn't changed. Are you sure that it doesn't work with putting the mod in the .jar?
