Ok so you're probably looking at this and thinking to yourself, "that's alot less information on a mod than usual" and you would be right to think so. However there is reason for this, as for this post I'm not reviewing a single mod, i'm reviewing multiple mods.

So firstly let me explain my reasoning for this, Ichuns mods are brilliant and uniquely brilliant in their own ways, but they don't add much by ways of gameply mechanics which would mean it would be a very short post for a single mod so i'm going to go over a few examples of his work.


Portal Gun & Gravity gun:

The cake may be a lie but these mods certainly aren't. The portal gun and gravity gun mods are based from the popular game franchise Portal and portal 2 and any other variation on that series of games.

The portal gun mod adds, well as i'm sure you can guess, it adds a portal gun to the game allowing you to open portals from 1 location to another allowing for you to zip quickly from location to location.

As for the gravity gun, well a wild guess might be that it adds a gravity gun, and that would be a correct guess (sorry no prizes, instead you can enjoy this video(should totally have this play on the front page))

Now then for those who didn't rage quit and vowed revenge against me for that prize let's continue. The gravity gun allows you to pick up entities,certain items or even other players and move them about (creeper bowling is such good fun)
These mods also add other portal related items to the game such as a companion cube and a leap of faith pad which can send you flying into a dive, the perfect companion to the long fall boots which prevent you from taking fall damage.

So now we've had a quick look at portal gun and gravity gun mods let's have a look at another of Ichuns funky mods

Hats & Morph:

So another set of mods grouped together so are these 2 mods based from a game that are so similar?
The answer is no they aren't, however they are under a category of working together that I felt it would be better to put them together.

So hats mod first. Hats is a basic mod but still interesting mod that adds.....well hats. The hats can be found on other mobs within the world and can be retrieved by killing the mob. Once you have a hat you can then wear it and look fabulous as you could perhaps have a hat of your favourite youtuber on your head that won't cost you like £50 at some convention somewhere(good guy Ichun, makes youtuber hats,doesn't charge for them).
The fun for these hats is when you see a pigman with an awesome hat you want but know you're far away from your portal outta there.
It is now also possible to trade hats with other players making it easier to get a hat from your good friend (or ya know someone who doesn't wanna be gravity gunned into a lava pit).

Morph now.
Morph is a mod that allows you to become any mob or player within the game, and what will it cost? THEIR LIVES...but worth it to go around pretending to be them.
So yes you do have to kill the entity you want to become but then you are able to become them and recieve their powers, so for example being a bat you can fit into 1 block gaps and fly (configurable), meanwhile being a blaze will give you fire resistance,flight but also you will be damaged by water.

Morph is good fun as a mod, especially when you "accidentally" kill your friend thinking they're a real mob.

It should also be noted that both these mods have won modjams in their respective entry years

It fell from the sky:
I was tempted to start this at the top of the post then finish it here but I decided against it.

It fell from the sky was Ichuns recent submission for the modding contest modjam.
The mod was intended to be something wacky that has no purpose other than to make people laugh (what I gathered from it anyway).
It fell from the sky adds 1 key thing, something GIANT falling from the sky as a meteorite.

Due to the fact that Ichun seems to want to allow people to find for themselves I won't post here any spoilers about it, bit for those who do I would suggest clicking the link above to find out.

It fell from the sky won many prizes at the most recent modjam due to the system being changed.

1st Place – Most Inventive
1st Place – Most Aesthetically Pleasing
3rd Place – Overall Excellence
4th Place – Most Balanced Progression

highest MC version(at writing time):1.7


Due to the fact of there being many mods this time I won't do an overall evaluation, however I will say that Ichuns mods are great fun to play with and always unique and inventive So i would encourage you all to try them out,
To Ichun keep it up your mods have certainly secured a place within the minecraft modding community
