Hey I haven't posted anything here in forever. I mentioned before how 1.9 changed how sounds are played, to use objects that you get from registering sounds, rather than specifying a string. They changed it slightly further now to where you also have to specify a sound category (aka a channel)...

Everything I did for 1.8 is basically deprecated and I can't recommend fooling with anymore. There was FMC, which was basically a total MCP replacement, with custom mappings. I did that right as 1.8 was coming out, then updated it all to 1.8.1. The problem is just that: it used its own...

You can and should proceed into intelligent thought after initial assumptions, but that still doesn't change the fact that we have those initial assumptions to begin with. Not to mention, there are times when further information simply doesn't exist, and you still resort to making assumptions...

Language is full of pronouns, you can use it however you see fit.

You're making a lot of assumptions, ironically. I never said or implied either. That being said, our brain is designed to make assumptions. Human beings wouldn't exist without that capability, because it also ensures our survival. We can't turn that off, nor should we. I would never fault...

I guess I forgot to mention these here. A 1.9 snapshot mod, FullyLoded, which is basically like Veinminer. At the bottom of the MeddleAPI mods list. I also finally got around to making a Bukkit-compatible server version of that RetroLeafDecay mod I put out for 1.2.5 a while back. You only...

I love this example because it perfectly exemplifies many different elements about this entire conversation, and answers many of the questions about the pronouns without people even having to think about it. There are times when gender and race identification are superfluous information. It's...

A mod or plugin API has been thrown around by Mojang for like 4-5 years, before Minecraft ever hit 1.0 (or even beta if I recall, but that seems an eternity ago). I think Workbench was scrapped, so the only thing since then that's even indicated anything close to them trying to implement a...

In retrospect I guess it depends on how one interprets "fixes most of the problems with 1.8" though, to be fair. In terms of bugs, which is how I initially interpreted what you said, not so much. But in terms of internal functionality, then it's getting there. Like I mentioned in the thread...

As much as I enjoy 1.9, this just isn't true. It has all the major bugs of 1.8 along with some new ones. Also not true. 1.9 (when coming from 1.7.10) has almost all of the learning curve of 1.8 along with a few new things to learn. We still don't know what the final product will bring...

I put together another 1.9 snapshot Meddle mod, this time to make quick work of trees!

I think it's safe to say that 1.9 will be the next big thing. 1.8 just didn't offer enough to motivate anyone to update, on top of the various issues involved. It's more a matter of how long it takes the Forge team to patch the decompiler they use to successfully recompile the game. Last I...

I can't speak for Forge but I've been modding it for months.

I haven't even had a chance to hardly look at them. I spent so much time getting things sorted to work on this new snapshot that I closed it all for the day. From what I make of it though I think loot tables is just a good idea. We'll see if they implement it as well as one would hope, and...

So 15w43a happened, which added some new things like igloos and loot tables. But it also added a sound registry, a Sound class, and a Sounds bootstrap class, all similar to how items and blocks work starting with 1.7, and how potions, status effects, and enchantments already were as of previous...

I stopped having faith in NVidia as a company when they knew about a hardware flaw and let it get put into hundreds of thousands of video cards, laptops, and mobile devices, which eventually turned many of them into bricks. People sued the shit out of them with a class action lawsuit and won...

My understanding is that they run it just long enough to see if anything crashes terribly, then push it out for the community to find the problems. Though there's been various instances where it still crashes terribly.

Maybe I should mention this before I forget again. Something big in 15w41a/b isn't just the new boats or wings, it's the revamped player movement code. Vehicle movement was stripped out and put into its own method, complete with its own packet. One can hope that this leads to much more...

I've probably said it before, but either Lex's account of their interest was exaggerated, or the Microsoft team isn't very familiar with API development or Minecraft modding. It's two completely separate languages, so there are drastic differences right from the get-go as to how mods would be...

The OpenGL crashes are likely entirely the fault of mods, which is part of the given reasoning for Forge for 1.8 locking certain aspects down. Though ironically the parts locked down have the least to do with potential OpenGL crashes. As for missing chunks, 1.8+ made significant differences to...
