Too bad. 1.9 is even less to my taste.

McJty, you do realize that you can have your single library internally, and just have the build process lump it together with any mods using it, yes? It's a little bit of setup to prevent issues with multiple conflicting copies, but not much, and you really only need to do that once. When I...

Are there any equivalents to this for 1.7.10? Neat mod, but 1.8 is not my cup of tea.

Unification and recipe reversions, mainly. I don't like when mod "updates" change mechanics out from under me.

That's a good point. Huh. After I get settled down again I may try my hand at it.

Don't think of it as timing. Think of it as "if it needs fuel, add it". In particular, something like "if it has full water (meaning: it hasn't turned any water into steam that tick, meaning it's too cold), and no items in it, and it's been at least (say) 2 ticks since an item has been added...

MC 1.8 and 1.9 add performance increases in some areas, but performance decreases in other areas. In particular, stutters due to GC / etc (and even the pauseless GCs have performance decreases while they run - and G1 takes long enough to pause to do new gen collections to often cause a stutter!)...

What is holding me back, personally, is that I don't like vanilla 1.8. And as such, modding it is adding lipstick to a pig. From what I've seen of 1.9, it's even worse for me in that regard. Or rather: it is not that it is worse, period. It's that Minecraft did not go in the direction that I...

Bleh, pastels. ...So is there going to be a resource pack for the old textures? Because, props to you for BC7 and all, but I really don't like the new ones.

Pretty much. Although I prefer when the components don't have to be used together. Where each constituent block at least does something outside of the multiblock. You may say that, to you, it's not then a multiblock. But to me it's the best kind of multiblock.

I'm probably the odd man out here, but I don't particularly like multiblocks. Or rather, I don't like many of the multiblock structures. I like blocks that requires multiple blocks to be used effectively (BC engines, for instance), but not so much the "you must place these blocks in this...

Nope. They twig with me, but I'm not sure why, at least not well enough to explain. I'll have to think on it. So could you make them a separate submodule then? Wonderful. I suppose that explains it then. Not really, as far as I can tell. Just a side effect of a relatively large network (and...

I don't like this answer. I do not see why change is inherently a good thing. I suppose part of it is that I seem to be on the longer side in terms of how long I keep worlds around. (In particular I do not like things that break existing worlds, although robots do not fall into that category.)...

That's... actually a great idea.

What would I, personally, change? I would get rid of robots. For me, they don't fit with the rest of BC. Ditto with the tossed blocks with fillers/etc. (Or at the very least I would make it so that if you remove the filler after it's stopped tossing blocks it doesn't lose the blocks in the...
