I released Meddle v1.2 yesterday, which added support for running servers, and today I released the server generator tool. Instructions are in the post (don't mind the sloppy formatting, MCF's editor is freaking awful). You can run most of those mods there on just the server and connect with...

1.8 still has some really bad collision detection despite their attempt to put movement server-side only. I saw a Youtube video before where someone hit a mob clear through the floor when they had strong-enough knockback on their weapon. Probably happened when the bug where they sink partially...

I fixed that physics crap a while back because it drives me crazy. This is compatible with Forge. The caveat is that it exaggerates another bug that makes mobs sink into blocks in certain situations, now going half-way down into'em instead of just hiding their shadows. But I can live with...

I updated Meddle to v1.1, as well as updated all of the mods. Those particular mods now work on anything from 1.8 to the latest 1.9 snapshot due to a dynamic mappings system I've started implementing in them. I can't be bothered to update them every time Mojang releases a new snapshot (we just...

It's not really impossible, it just makes it infinitely more difficult. I don't think MCPE originally had symbols available, though that was reflected in the simplicity of the mods. Java Minecraft has no "symbols" either technically if you consider the obfuscation, though the structure of the...

I'm not downplaying the usefulness of hoppers or anything. The point was that they simply added more things, they didn't improve the fundamental issues with the existing redstone mechanics, which still drives most people away from using it. That's why I used it in comparison to combat...

The 1.5 update was called the "redstone update" but did nothing to improve redstone's average use, so it wouldn't be the first time that they don't live up to the hype. All you can really do is accept that every version will be flawed, then wait for mods to improve it, while still appreciating...

If you hate the floaty physics of 1.8+ as much as I do, I already made a mod for the 1.9 snapshot to get rid of it. It's a primary tweak class, and it's a complete manual install. I put instructions in the JAR though. I have no idea if the falling-through-the-floor bug from vanilla 1.8 still...

So it's here. It's a thing. Positives: It's Minecraft. It is indeed MCPE on a PC, which is something I've wanted to play around with for quite a while without thumbing around on a phone. It runs very playably even under a VM (make sure you disable mouse integration or it'll spaz out)...

They're on the bug tracker, I don't really know what more you can do than that without seeming like a pest. Besides, if they run the game at all then they know that these are issues. Meanwhile, I "melted" 1.9 (what I call renaming all the snowmen characters in the local variable tables that...

Loaded up the 1.9 snapshot, and unfortunately the same significant bugs that were in 1.8 snapshots still exist. Why do I get the feeling that these will make it into 1.9 release as well?

If you're using Linux then you should already be familiar with being a third-class citizen in any situation where money is a motivating factor. There's only so much money to be made from Minecraft modding. They've already covered Windows and Mac, which basically covers just about any computer...

It's not elegant but you can use software like this to fetch modpacks off of Curse. No extra effort required for the pack maker. I still prefer MultiMC for everything, so if something I want to use goes Curse-only I'll either pull it with that or just copy it out of the Curse client anyway.

Just extending a block isn't good enough anymore to do anything useful. You would still have to register block states for your new block at startup, set which block states to ignore for rendering if applicable, and set up the physical block state and model files related to that block's id...

Just another little 1.8 mod, this one prevents fire from getting progressively weaker, so that it'll spread almost indefinitely like back in alpha/early beta. It's a tweak class so it'll work with Forge or however you want to run it.

Real-world benchmarks show that Java matches and beats C++ in many ways, while C++ still outdoes Java in others, particularly where raw horsepower is required (which is generally not a large part of most applications). You don't seem to be aware of the amount of bloat that makes up your average...

I think you should look at benchmarks before making those kinds of claims. Modern Java rivals C++ in a lot of ways, sometimes even beating it. If Java weren't okay for complex games then Minecraft wouldn't run at 300+ fps. It's that simple.

That's not true, a majority of the game logic is Lua. Browse through the installation and see for yourself. Java is capable of using native libraries. LWJGL for example passes OpenGL calls down to the driver layer. This makes Java a perfectly viable platform for accomplishing nearly...

It was unplayably slow when I tried it recently. Minecraft has better performance out of the gate simply due to being Java (which isn't a bad language), where as TUG relies on a mountain of Lua scripts for every aspect of play. It undoubtedly has its own variation of tile entities as well...

TUG dies with no mods installed.
