    If you read closely you'd notice i said nothing about your idea- they're good for more hardcore mod environment. I tried to counter your anti-horse arguments based around vanilla balance*. Obviously there can't be middle ground between the Right and Justified Hardcore Balance I Wish Was Made and...

    Then minecarts, rideable pigs and ice runs should die too- they all displaced the original boat waterways, which were actually nerfed, rather than just outpaced. Suppose to!? There's no correct suppose to in minecraft. Ice runs are an accidental bugfeature that proved enduring (and fun), and...

    Pigs and ice runs aren't suppose to be better than anything: They are jokes or mistakes. Minecarts are the real deal, but the changes they wanted to add to speed them up were hated. The most important contrasting thing about horses, is that they're great for exploring but not as reliable or...

    Decent YouTubers To Watch

    I'd suggest Zisteau for any old series playlist: He has neat editing, good voice, and enough intelligence, skill, and skilled derpitry to be simultaneously funny and interesting. His all-out approach for anything and everything makes watching any of his series entertaining (The "making a giant...

    So if i (theoretically) put all the work and effort needed to design, make, and distribute, it's totally OK to sell small models of buildcraft engines?

    Mod Feedback Flaxbeard's Steam Power suggestion thread

    Strictly decorative FMP support for plates as covers? I've always felt wrong about cutting up metal blocks (in general) and wasting them to decorate a wall.

    Mod Feedback Flaxbeard's Steam Power suggestion thread

    Brass golem: a bit like an iron golem, but faster, stronger, better-jumper, and capable of being ridden and controlled (like a horse) (I've heard that it's less impossible now with the horses and riding mechanics in vanilla). Requires steam refueling every day (and oiling every Saturday).

    They do have a tiny chance to spawn as killer rabbits.

    Idea: Stack item. An item that functions as an expanded inventory slot in a stack type data, crafted from 4 iron bars and 4 iron pressure plates and has an empty framing texture (small 3 pixel Ls at the corners) "Stack item" is a stack of item stacks (Example of what a Stack may contain: 4...

    It's an interesting mechanic, but not actually a mod (You can even make it using command blocks- one to save you location, one to TP you in and start a clock, one to remove XP every time the clock hits, and one to check every clock tick for 0XP and TP you back). The question is, what would you...

    Looking for feedback on a mod idea

    Air pollution is a problem of really large scale industrial processes- I've always thought of it as "Not something a few individuals can believably make a dent in", just like trying to limit water in a normal minecraft world- by any human scale, there are more water than you could ever consume...

    Does it give any new lighting options? I'd love for some projectors light up far places.

    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    Its not enough to have just a framework- you need a "default" "vanilla" gameplay mod (or is it considered modules in an open source project?) to actually play on, as well as a common ground for mods to work of- A lot of minecraft mods success is the ability to use a lot of mods at once, but...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Mojang had vastly more money than it strictly needed or used, which cannot be said on microsoft. The developers have not being pressured yet, but as microsoft employees i doubt they"ll get the same relaxed attitude (Which is not that they don't work a lot now- it's that they"ll be expected to...

    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    We also need a difference in gameplay- not the basic ideas, exploring, crafting, mining, but more specific mechanical and background: The nether, Endermen picking blocks, Creepers, possibly even redstone, crafting tables etc: all the things that microsoft would be selling merchandizing (and...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    It's not that Microsoft is an evil corporation*- It's that it's a corporation in the first place, and a corporation's decisions, whose underlying reason and logic is completely different than a small rich independent company's, are extremely unlikely to be anything good in either the short run...

    They"ll do it regardless of size or sales- it's standard practice to enforce an IP as much as possible, because otherwise it's more difficult to restrict it in the future.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    If we stay on modifyed 1.8, Microsoft has no reason whatsoever to let the "continued abuse of it's IP" happen.

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    There's no such thing as a slow power source- there's only not enough generators setups.
