Hey guys! With the trend of most of the mods/big mods updating on the even number updates, what updates/additions to mods with their updates would you guys like to see? I personally would love to see the return of Eloraam with RedPower 2 or maybe even 3. What would you like to see?
I hope they're not updating on even versions, or at least are making an exception with 1.7 anyway.
1.7 still has the numeric IDs in addition to the new named IDs, and the numeric IDs are supposedly removed for 1.8 in the snapshots, so 1.7 is a transition from the old to new ID systems. There have also been a lot of other systems changed internally that may affect mods, such as the "Resource Pack" interface.
Since they have already changed the inventory system (which may/may not affect Mods) in the 1.8 snaps to accommodate adding a UUID-based user system after 1.8 finalizes, anyone skipping 1.7 is just piling on the work for later.
