Minecraft Beta Mod: XRay Block

[turtleman918]

I am currently working on my first mod, it creates a block that allows you to see through other blocks, to caves, dungeons etc.
I have gotten the code down for the block already, and I'm currently working on the coding for the items the crafting recipe will use.
The Crafting recipies will go as follows;

Glass Pane:
X O X
O X O       when "X"=iron ingot, "O"=glass block
X O X

XRay Hull:
X D X
D I D       when "X"=iron ingot, "D"=Glass Pane, "I"=redstone torch
X D X

Power Coil:
X _ X
_ X _       when "X"=iron ingot, "_"=redstone dust
X _ X

Core Hull:
X Y X
Y [] Y       when "X"=iron ingot, "Y"=gold ingot, "[]"=blank square
X Y X

PowerCore:
_ ~ _
 I H I       when "H"=Core hull, "~"=Power Coil, "I"=redstone torch, "X"=Iron ingot,
X I X      "_"=redstone dust

XRay Block:
[] K []
[] P []       when "K"=XRay Hull, "P"=Power Core, "Y"=gold ingot, "[]"=blank square
[] Y []

I'll post screenshots and eventually downloads as the project develops, I know its a simple project, but I dont know a bit of java, so I have to learn as i go .

It will also require ModLoader.

There are already several xray mods that exist.

However, if you are making it for fun/coding practice, good work

Yeah, I'm just doing it to get the feel of modding/coding, and for fun. Thanks btw (i actually used to have one of the xray mods)

Correct, i may try to figure out how to mod classic though

i've already done something like this, all you have to do is replace the texture for a block that is not used much(like sponge) and make it transparent.
