Click the image above for the youtube video (a bit old)
- Install modloader
- Install Minecraft Console
- (optional) Install GuiAPI
- (optional) Install Single Player Commands
Notes:
- Should be compatible with FML (Forge ModLoader)
- (not yet for 1.4.2) GuiAPI is used for the options menu, the mod should work without it tho.
- (not yet for 1.4.2) Single Player Commands is supported.
Both mods can be installed with the instructions found in the modloader thread. However, best practise for version 1.2 an up is to put the Minecraft_Console.zip in the .minecraft/mods/ folder
Windows:
- Open up %appdata%, if you don't know how to do this, start>run, then type in %appdata%
- Browse to .minecraft/bin
- Open up minecraft.jar with WinRAR or 7zip.
- Drag and drop the necessary files into the jar.
- Delete the META-INF folder in the jar.
- Run Minecraft, enjoy!
Macintosh:
Go to Applications>Utilities and open terminal.
Type in the following, line by line:
cd ~ mkdir mctmp cd mctmp jar xf ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar
Outside of terminal, copy all the files and folders into the mctmp directory.
Back inside terminal, type in the following:
rm META-INF/MOJANG_C.* jar uf ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar ./ cd .. rm -rf mctmp
Run Minecraft, enjoy!
The GUI can be customised quite a bit already, and I am working on more which will allow everyone (if they want) to have a unique looking GUI. The customisation comes from the configuration file located at .minecraft/mods/console/gui.properties
Within the settings file, any setting that starts with COLOR_ is a color. To edit these colors simply put in your new color in 32 bit unsigned format.
For example, if you wish to change the output box background: COLOR_OUTPUT_BACKGROUND=0xFFFFFF
This specifies that the OUTPUT background should be white. The bits are specified as below:
0xAARRGGBB
Where AA = Alpha RR = Red GG = Green BB = Blue
The mod now supports binding keys to events, there are currently no commands that allow you to configure this is game though.
To add or change a key binding simply create a new file (or edit the existing) at: .minecraft/mods/console/bindings.properties
Each line in the file specifies a key binding the format is expected as below:
KEY_CODE_LIST=INPUT
KEY_CODE_LIST
is a comma separated list of key codes for all the keys which need to be pressed at the same time in order to execute the INPUT
INPUT
is what is executed - it is sent to the server if you're on multi-player or into the chatline if you're on single player.
Examples:
- 19 is the R key
- 42,19 is Shift+R keys
- 42,19,20 is Shift+R+T keys
