    I love LOVE secret rooms and passages, in Real Life and especially in games. I thought it would be pretty really cool if we could have a mod that, well, adds another way to have secret rooms and passages.

    An excerpt from the mod page:
    Video:
    This video isn't from the Secret Room mod page, but is more of a LP or Spot Light. I found this to be more detailed about what it does than other videos. This video is outdated and does not show newer items that have/may have been added since.

    I would rather not have secret invisible doors littered all over the world that are aimed at killing me, its against server rules, as for secret rooms I don't know, it could cause client lag, a topic that is always brought up with every suggestion, and I believe pistons provide all the necessary tools to create such rooms, but with frame motors blocked in the over-world(I heard this on another post, they might not be anymore or ever, probably something to do with FBM's) I guess an alternative is up for consideration...

    I haven't had luck with Piston doors, can never get that damned Red Stone crap to work correctly :( (Plus regular/sticky pistons can't push some items, like the personal locked chest.

    The frame stuff, I could never figure out, even in Creative Single Player, I couldn't get them to work. Maybe just me who knows.

    I do agree with the killing, however, I see it as if you are in my house without my permission and you die, that's your own fault for trespassing and you deserve it. But overall I do see your point. I think if we could get even some of the stuff that would be awesome.

    I don't see how this could cause lag though, and if so it wouldn't be much.

    Did yoooooou know that this server had the first secret rooms mod in MC, but I might add this one. We'll see.

    It likely would not cause no more lag than a wooden door.

    HOWEVER, hopefully the mod reuses vanilla MC textures, otherwise it totally breaks the whole secret door concept.

    Awesome, I did not know that, but then again, I've only played MC for a little over a year and a half, mainly my own server, with a dozen friends from around the web, and mostly vanilla with a few easy mod installs, Towny, permissions, World Edit, etc. nothing like SKCraft.

    I didn't think about he textures. hopefully it works out well, I would really like to see this.

    I don't know if this is fixed or not, but from my experience I had huge problems with the SecretRooms mod. It caused several server crashes and I think it was because I had Mystcraft installed. I don't know if this was only my problem, but I would be careful.

    I LOVE secret rooms, they're such a cool concept. However, I think this mod maybe makes secret rooms a little too easy to build. I would still like it if it would be put into the server, though.

    @Tonius:

    Well, even though it does make it easier to conceal, you still have the hard issue/time of planning out where and how you want the room to be at.

    For me, I wouldn't just make a secret room, but have a series of tunnels hidden behind a secret door, that leads to various false rooms and in one of them false rooms is the true secret room.

    Too bad that we can't place traps to trap trespassers (but not kill), yeah you know who you are! (I haven't had issues with this, lol)

    I mean, who doesn't like secret rooms, in RL or IG? o_O

    I know right Michelle?!

    Another good reason for this, the Personal Chests cannot be moved by pistons :( (although good in its own way), but I don't like seeing them out in the open, especially since mine is filled with 3 stacks of diamonds, 3/4 stack of emeralds, a lot of iridium ingots/nuggets/ore, and other stuff of the like.

    I made a piston/sticky piston hidden door, got it all finished, and the damned thing wouldn't move the chest. :oops:
