Dunno how many hours I spent on this, but if I had to guess I'd say more than 70. As with V1.0 I did the entire video on 1.2.5. Despite that I still got around to updating the shaders to 1.6 and I'll have a MinecraftForums link for it lower in the description.

I originally started working on the video back late September with the release of the song. I finished the main work in about a week or two, and then sent it off to my friend to try and record the final version in 1080p. He couldn't do this as the game would not stop crashing. I was planning to release the video in 720p when another friend who runs a data center said he could help. He tried recording the video over 30 different times and got one or two to complete, but upon sending me them we found that the recording fps of Minema had been overwridden and they had recorded in 15 fps. Blame Mojang for no 1080p.

I was able to record at a solid 60 fps (an improvement from V1.0's 30 fps).

The track is about 33 minutes from side to side, and is around 16,000 blocks. The video is speed up 8 times. I synced the outposts with the song by recording the video with the coordinates on, and then making a list of coordinate positions for outposts that synced with parts in the video. More than half of the work was just syncing the torches.

Modified Acid Shaders used for this video:

Mods used:

Generator Ports Generate Beta 1.7.3 terrain, and thus Far lands

GLSL Shaders (modified by me) GLSL 1.2.5 modified to include a Moon Phase variable, otherwise when the ingame clock goes from 23999 to 0 the Acid Shader distortion jumps back to its default state.

Acid Shaders (modified by me) Commonly known Acid Shaders, tweaked a few things and rewrote the Worldtime usage to look like this:
newWorldTime = worldTime + (23999 * moonPhase);

Macros and Keybinds Lots of things. The script I made sets the correct time, recursively kills NPCs and holds down the forward key, which drives the minecart thanks to Zombe's Modpack.

Zombe's Modpack Usage mentioned above

Single Player Commands Used to teleport me to the Far Lands, set the time, kill NPCs and fly around while building the track.

TooManyItems General maintenance

Minema Recording

Optifine Improving recording times
