Well, I logged onto Twitch, I heard a Carly Rae Jepson-esq Minecraft thing, then I turned it off and showered.

That was my Minecon experience.

I went back and watched the Bringing Modding to the Masses panel. It was actually pretty cool to see both Kaker and Slow there at the same time.

Still sad we haven't seen Soaryn in a panel or at Minecon period yet. Hopefully next year. ;(

Well.....
I just laughed through all of it.
"How to fix my world with RP2 frames"
"Do any of you have autism and does it help you code"
"Notch, please join my dads server 'mineforgecraft' ".

The two most important announcements for us players summarized, for the lazy:

1. Minecraft is gaining Twitch.tv integration.
- You can stream directly from the game to your Twitch account, no external software needed
- Yes, it will allow you to natively hook up a mic and talk if you want
- If you want you can still use external software though
- You can also mix and match as you want, for example: having the Twitch chat integrated into the game without using the integrated streaming function

2. Mojang hired two new employees specifically for working on Minecraft.
- Ryan Holtz, also known as @TheMogMiner. As a rendering engineer he will aim to improve Minecraft's engine in terms of performance and capabilities.
- Michael Stoyke, also known as @SeargeDP. And for all those of you who did not shit a brick the moment you read the name, let me explain: this is the guy who's been almost singlehandedly holding up the entire modding community all this time. He's the guy behind MCP, the "Minecraft Coder Pack" - the deobfuscated Minecraft source code that makes modding possible in the first place. Without something like MCP, mods would not exist. Forge itself would not exist. And now he's working for Mojang, with the intention of improving mod support and driving forward the Plugin API. And don't worry, he's still doing MCP as well - now with more insight and access than ever before. For myself, that's probably the most exciting news of the entire con.


EDIT: fixed derp

I was worried about SeargeDP joining Mojang, but I suppose having access to the code base will make MCP updates faster?

Never heard of TheMogMiner before, but if he can improve the rendering engine and bring Minecraft into this decade it would be amazing.

Not sure who is working on TwitchTV integration, it doesn't seem all that important considering only a tiny fraction of the MC players stream on Twitch as well.

Im always surprised when I watch youtubers on vlogs/RL vids.

Im like: "Thats a real person.... but he sounds like direwolf! Whats happening here?"

Im also amazed at some people's voices... pahimar and vintagebeef for example... I wonder if they have some sort of voice training... I know people who do radio programs and such train to sound deeper and more clear.

But those that do amount for the completely free exposure that MC gets from those who stream.
Add in, many streamers upload their streams to youtube after the stream.

Free advertising. Brilliant idea.
