Better Coal! Beta 1.7.3

This mod adds in 4 new coals from real life, Torches, and Blocks for each.

This was originally going to be a kind of realistic coal mod then I realized through research that there is actually a lot that goes into coal, their uses, temps, etc. So it just got turn more into a coal overhual.

This mod does require Modloader Beta 1.7.3, ModloaderMP Unofficial v2, and Forge V1.0.6. This video will show you have to navigate MCArchive and how to download those APIs. MCArchive: Best Place To Get Beta 1.7.3 Mods/APIs

Coal Details

Bituminous will make 6 torches with a light value of 0.8475F.
Bituminous Smelts 10 Items.
Bituminous can be used to make a Bituminous Block that Smelts 40 Items.
A Bituminous Block is made by combining 4 Coal Blocks to get 1 Bituminous Block.
Bituminous generates in that world from 0 to 64 at 10 tries a chunk sized from 1 to 8 in a vein.
Bituminous Ore drops 1 to 4.

Anthracite

can be found in the earth or makes by combining 4 Bituminous and 5 Peat in any combination to get 1 Anthracite.
Anthracite will make 4 torches with a light value of 0.9375F.
Anthracite Smelts 12 Items.
Anthracite can be used to make a Anthracite Block that Smelts 48 Items.
A Anthracite Block is made by combining 4 Bituminous Blocks to get 1 Anthracite Block.
Bituminous generates in that world from 0 to 32 at 10 tries a chunk sized from 1 to 8 in a vein.
Bituminous Ore drops 1 to 4.
9 Anthractie Blocks can be used to make 1 Diamond.

Additional Information: Modloader recipes do not override existing recipes, so in order to get the Normal Torch recipes to produce 8 torches instead of 4, I made an edit to the RecipesCrafting class instead of the CraftingManager class because it is less sufficient in the grand scheme of things.

	public void addRecipes(CraftingManager craftingManager1) {
		craftingManager1.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Block.chest), new Object[]{"###", "# #", "###", '#', Block.planks});
		craftingManager1.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Block.stoneOvenIdle), new Object[]{"###", "# #", "###", '#', Block.cobblestone});
		craftingManager1.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Block.workbench), new Object[]{"##", "##", '#', Block.planks});
		craftingManager1.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Block.sandStone), new Object[]{"##", "##", '#', Block.sand});
		craftingManager1.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Block.torchWood, 8), new Object[]{"X", "#", 'X', Item.coal, '#', Item.stick});
		craftingManager1.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Block.torchWood, 8), new Object[]{"X", "#", 'X', new ItemStack(Item.coal, 1, 1), '#', Item.stick});
	}

For Light Value References a Glowstone Block has a light value of 1.0F being the brightest it gets. In the base game a Torch has the light value of 0.9375F. Which in this mod a regular torch has the light value of 0.7575F. I added the extra torches and changed the light values to give more of a use to the coals.

Generation Code

Spoiler

	public void GenerateSurface(World world, Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ) {
	      int tries = 10;
	      int vein = 8;

	      int posX;
	      int posY;
	      int posZ;
	      int i;
	      
	      for(i = 0; i < tries; ++i) {
	          posX = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);
	          posY = random.nextInt(128);
	          posZ = chunkZ + random.nextInt(16);
	          (new WorldGenMinable(blockLignite.blockID, vein)).generate(world, random, posX, posY, posZ);
	       }
	      
	      for(i = 0; i < tries; ++i) {
	          posX = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);
	          posY = random.nextInt(64);
	          posZ = chunkZ + random.nextInt(16);
	          (new WorldGenMinable(blockBituminous.blockID, vein)).generate(world, random, posX, posY, posZ);
	       }
	      
	      for(i = 0; i < tries; ++i) {
	          posX = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);
	          posY = random.nextInt(32);
	          posZ = chunkZ + random.nextInt(16);
	          (new WorldGenMinable(blockAnthracite.blockID, vein)).generate(world, random, posX, posY, posZ);
	       }
	}

Because Modloader generation doesn't override base game generation code I had to edit ChunkProviderGenerate to change coal

		for(i13 = 0; i13 < 10; ++i13) {
			i14 = i4 + this.rand.nextInt(16);
			i15 = this.rand.nextInt(96);
			i16 = i5 + this.rand.nextInt(16);
			(new WorldGenMinable(Block.oreCoal.blockID, 8)).generate(this.worldObj, this.rand, i14, i15, i16);
		}

Originally

		for(i13 = 0; i13 < 20; ++i13) {
			i14 = i4 + this.rand.nextInt(16);
			i15 = this.rand.nextInt(128);
			i16 = i5 + this.rand.nextInt(16);
			(new WorldGenMinable(Block.oreCoal.blockID, 16)).generate(this.worldObj, this.rand, i14, i15, i16);
		}

Here is the main mod class, you'll need to download the mod to view the source code of the other classes. This is a straight copy and paste from my work space, I am not fixing it up to make it more legible on here.
