Hey, I don't hate C++Striking's about to murder you.
as much as Java
not with an official and easily extensible API
...which won't happen until the day MC is open-sourced, because from experience we know Mojang isn't doing that.not with an official and easily extensible API
Well...yeah...But the PE guys have managed to do C++ modding...it might be workable, and then build an abstraction layer on it...
C++ 'aint that bad, you know? I worked with it in the past and it's decent. Never coded in C#, but I've seen scripts in Unity and seems to follow a bit the java rules, except when it comes to overriding. But even so, I prefer working with something I have experience. Although I'd love to learn C#. I literally have nothing against it

Geh, fuck establishment
Shut up Squid
Everything about coding devolves into lang wars...
WHY?
What compelled them to use a special coord object rather than simply using ints?
It's generally good design to keep related data in the same objects. Unfortunately Java doesn't support value types (and won't for some time) so there's a small performance penalty for each time you create one, and the penalty adds up when you need to create and garbage-collect a lot of them each frame.WHY?

Yes, it's generally good design, however I'd much prefer disorganized variables over that much of a performance loss. Also, wouldn't just a HashMap<char, int> work?
EDIT: Changed String to char
Thrashing the GC to the point that this stupidity does is never good design. It reeks of both premature optimization and coding blindly along conventions.
Generally good design to organize your variables, not to do anything along the lines of using a special class for doing that. The best option would be a complete rewrite of the MC engine, but that isn't happening until Minecraft 2, which probably won't happen.
...at least not from Mojang. MS might decide otherwise, and TBH after reading through this thread, I'd agree with them.
Cleaning up would be a good idea (heck, that's what they've been trying to do), and several languages (like C++) supports abstractions like Minecraft 1.8 uses except without the performance penalty.
On the other hand, not being made of easily edited JVM bytecode would make Minecraft modding as we know it impossible, so I'll just stick to 1.7.10 for now.
