Minecraft Pocket Edition Download

Q: I found a BUG!
A: Great - first please make sure you are using the LATEST version of the mod and check the change log to see if the bug has already been fixed; if not, check if it has already been reported and report it if has not.

Q: Help, your mod crashed my game!
A: Oops! First, READ the mod description carefully, and then answer the following questions:

1. Did you install the correct version of the mod?
2. Did you install the correct version of Forge?
3. Did you install the correct versions of OTHER mods?

If you can answer YES to all three questions, then please kindly post your full crash report inside of [ spoiler ] tags, along with a detailed description of what you were doing when the game crashed. The more information you can give me, the more likely I will be able to fix your problem.

Q: Your mod crashes with Battlegear2!!!
A: No, it doesn't - you forgot to install the correct versions of both mods. Please read the description.

Q: Why can't I use skills with Tinker's Construct (or other mod) weapons!
A: Any mod item that extends vanilla ItemSword is automatically considered a valid weapon for skills; many mods, however, create their own weapon classes, and I cannot know that such a class is a weapon / sword. I have a simple API for such cases: all the mod author need do is implement ISword to behave like a sword to allow all skills, or ISkillItem to allow more limited skill use. I am looking into ways around this, but that's the way it is for now.

Q: Why aren't the villager trades working with Minecraft Comes Alive (MCA) ?
A: In order to do what they do, MCA replaces all vanilla villagers with their own class, but this means that other mods which rely on the vanilla class to do things (such as trade) have a high chance of not working. This is one of those cases.

Q: Will you add [x] sword?
A: No. The swords currently available have a nice progression from weak to strong, and I am not interested in adding another sword that has basically the same stats as one that already exists just for the sake of variety. The Official ZSS Addon, however, adds nearly all of the swords not included in the main mod.

Q: Can you please add { insert whatever } ?
A:
a. Is {whatever} in a Zelda game? I have already considered it.
b. Is {whatever} NOT in a Zelda game? Then no, I won't add it.

If you answered 'a' and still want to ask, provide specific details about HOW and WHY it should be implemented; otherwise I will ignore you.

Q: The transformation masks (e.g. Deku Mask) are supposed to change the player model!!!
A: I know, but it is much more difficult than one would think, not to mention it would likely conflict with every other mod that wants to do something with the player model. At best, I may be able to manage a skin change, but it's not a high priority for me.

Q: Will you ever add more elaborate dungeons?
A: No. However, I encourage people to use the mod in Adventure Maps, where it is quite feasible to replicate not only the form of Zelda dungeons, but also to add the many intricate puzzles and quests that should accompany each dungeon.

Q: But you can just use schematics to add dungeons, will you do that?
A: No. Unless playing an Adventure Map, I prefer the dungeons to be slightly randomized to better fit the randomness of the Minecraft world; schematics cannot be randomized when added without converting them to Java, which can add tens of thousands of lines of code that I would rather not deal with, plus I just do not like working with schematics in general.

Q: What about adding dimensions?
A: Sorry, I do not have any plans at this time to add new dimensions.

Q: BOSSES!!! When will you be adding proper Zelda bosses?!?!?!
A: There are currently only two, but I'm working on more, please be patient.

Q: Your textures suck, can you make better ones?
A: Sorry, I'm not an artist. If you can do better, please submit your textures via private message and I will consider replacing the current texture with yours, but only if yours are good ;P

Q: My bombs are not blowing up the secret rooms, what is going on?!?!
A: Congratulations, you have found a secret room that requires a special item to enter! Excavate around the secret room until you find either a pair of Barrier Blocks or some kind of Peg, then use the appropriate item to open it up so you can get that treasure chest!

Q: My question was not answered here, now what?
A: Be sure to also check the “Secrets and Spoilers” section if your question is related to finding something in the game; otherwise, post your question below and I will do my best to answer.
