DIY-Die - Dice for Minecraft!
What is it?
This mod adds real dice to Minecraft! You can place them in the world, and they will show a random value from 1 to 6. This opens up numerous possibilities for creating board games directly in Minecraft or using dice as a source of randomness for redstone mechanisms.
Main Features
- Interactive Dice: Place dice in the world and observe random roll results
- Redstone Compatibility: Use a comparator to read the dice value as a redstone signal
- Mechanical Interaction: Dice can be placed with dispensers and broken with pistons
- Special Dice: Fatal dice deals infinite damage when rolling a one, Nihilo dice has special properties
Crafting Dice
Basic Dice
The main recipe uses bone blocks arranged in the shape of a die:
"# #"
"###"
"# #"This resembles the letter "H" or a ladder recipe. To create a "lucky" seventh die, add an additional bone block in the center.
Alternative Methods
- Use a stonecutter to create a simple die from one bone block
- Copper die is crafted with a shapeless recipe from a regular die and a copper ingot
- Fatal die requires a wither skeleton skull
- Nihilo die is created using end stone
Future Plans
The developer plans to add:
- Dice with numbers and runes
- Sets of non-transitive dice
- Various types of fatal dice for each damage type
- Possibility of duels using dice
Limitations
Currently, only six-sided dice (D6) are available, as other shapes are difficult to implement in Minecraft, and dice with more faces may cause issues with comparator functionality.
