Very cursed golden hoe on Monosoho Beta 1.3
Context: There are no shears in Minecraft Beta 1.3_01, they were not added until Beta 1.7.
UPDATE: This has been patched by Moresteck's fork, and I imagine it'll likely see its way into the original RhysB version, and Monosoho is no longer affected by this.
Monosoho (see: monosoho.net.au/beta.php for more info!) runs a modified version of CraftBukkit 1060 (for Beta 1.7.3) that can imitate older versions of Minecraft Beta, such as Beta 1.3_01 (the version Monosoho targets). The benefit of this is that you can run more modern and popular plugins targetting Beta 1.7.3 for any Beta version (there's even compatibility for Beta 1.8!). You can find out more about this project here: https://github.com/Moresteck/Project-...
However, there is currently a bug where you can still craft future items, like shears and pistons. These will normally crash your game, but if you add them to your game (like I've done in this video and lazily re-used the golden hoe texture for shears) then you suddenly can have items that haven't been added yet.
I used Minecraft Coder Pack 2.9a for Beta 1.3_01, and due to a bug, I was forced to set this up in Windows 10 with Python 2.7.1 and OpenJDK 8, as there were strange Python errors on Linux and downgrading was deemed too difficult.
For the interests of the server (giving that item to another player without this mod will crash their game, similar to book banning), I won't be releasing this particular mod to the public (it's extremely basic and half assed anyway), but this can be seen as a bug report for Project Poseidon and Monosoho alike.
