What is CheeseMod?
Contrary to it's name, CheeseMod does not add cheese to Minecraft. Instead, it is a general bukkit server mod which adds a huge variety of commands and features to Minecraft as well as improving the features which already exist.

CheeseMod is meant to function as the primary mod on your server, therefore it provides its own user group system, chat system, world system, property file system, command system and more. Chances are it will conflict with a lot of other mods, though it has been tested with WorldEdit and Dynmap.

CheeseMod strives to be customizable, providing dozens of customization options that can be set per world. But this is just start, soon CheeseMod will be adding a brand new group system allowing nearly everything in CheeseMod to be enabled/disabled per world, group and even individual users.

This website is currently under construction, we hope to have it complete before the end of the year


Installation and Download
 Installing CheeseMod is a simple process, the newest version will always be available at this site. Your server will also check for new versions whenever it is started/reloaded, if it finds one it will tell you on the server console and in the staff chat.

Download CheeseMod 1.8.7 Alpha 1
Download CheeseMod 1.7.2 Beta 1 | Changelog
Download CheeseMod 1.6.4_1 | Changelog

Older Versions

To use CheeseMod, you need a working Bukkit server, just place CheeseMod in your servers plugin folder and run the server. From your server console you will want to type "group add [your player name] admin" since you can't admin yourself in game. If you have any issues, just contact KaBob799. Generally you should update bukkit every time you update CheeseMod.

Plugins
 Sometimes a feature is too big or too easily broken to be included in the main CheeseMod plugin, when this happens a CheeseMod plugin will be created. A plugin may or may not require CheeseMod to be used, but they will always benefit from it. Below you will find any currently available plugins.

CheeseCity - An npc village management plugin

 Ever since CheeseMod was first started in January 2011, a ridiculous amount of time and effort has been spent maintaining and improving its features. If you like CheeseMod please feel free to donate, donations will help pay for hosting and will increase the amount of time available to work on CheeseMod. CheeseMod donations can also earn you benefits on the Pyco website system.

Players not in an extra group are normal players. Due to technical limitations, player names are currently case sensitive for groups. Can be used from the server console.

Minecarts
Boosters: Place gold blocks or ore under rails to create a minecart booster, much more powerful than a booster track.
Brakes: Place soul sand under rails to slow down carts.
Bounce: Place wool under rails to cause carts to reverse when they pass over it. If the track the wool is under is recieving redstone power, it will not reverse.
Station Block: Place obsidian under rails to create a station block. Requires a sign underneath the obsidian. The sign must be facing one of the 4 compass directions, be a signpost (not wall sign) and the text should be readable when facing the direction you want to go. When powered by redstone, minecarts will jump in that direction. When not powered, they will be stopped.
Function Block: Function blocks are made by placing any double slab block under the tracks, as well as a function block sign underneath the block. A function block sign will a [Command] on the second line, as well as other possible arguments on the following line(s). Because this block will be recieving many functions, they will be listed in the following section.

Function Minecart Signs
 Destroy: When a minecart passes over this block it will be destroyed without dropping the minecart item.

Jump: Place a number anywhere between -125 and 125 on the 3rd line and any cart that passes over this block will jump that many blocks vertically, while preserving its momentum. Can be used to jump to a track above or below your current one. If the track is recieving redstone power, it will not jump.

Switch: Works like jump, but horizontally. Value must be between 1-5. Cart will jump that many spaces in the direction the sign is facing. The sign should be set up like a station sign, so not on a wall and not diagonal.

Unride: When a minecart passes over this block it will be destroyed, dropping the minecart item.

Function Signs
 CheeseMod also adds function signs which can be right clicked to perform actions. Make sure to not wield a block or you will place it when you right click.

Lift Top: Place [Lift Top] on the second line of a sign, then whenever you right click on it you will be teleported to the highest block above your current position.

Lift Up/Down: Place either [Lift Up] [Lift Down] or [Lift] on the second line of a sign, you can put whatever you want on the other lines. Then you right click on either an up or down sign, and it will take you to a lift sign directly above/below that sign. Your relative location to the sign is preserved, so be careful.

Minecart: Spawns a minecart at the signs location and places the player inside of it.

Boat: Spawns a boat at the signs location and places the player inside of it.

Warp: Works like /warp when right clicked, put the warp name on the 3rd line.

Fun Tips
Most commands that require a users name will work as long as you give enough letters to identify just 1 user. So if I'm the only player online with a name that contains k, you could do /tp k to teleport to me. This doesn't apply to any function that works whether or not the user is online, such as /home [username].
Minecarts are boosted by gold blocks whether or not they are on track, making gold blocks useful for + intersections.
You can change how CheeseMod functions by editing the CheeseMod Properties File.
