Minecraft 1.7

[OmegaPython]

Anyone who has seen snapshot 12w37a will know that all technical blocks have been removed, and that you can now reference blocks in commands with their names (e.g. minecraft:stone), instead of using IDs. This is a major step towards towards the Mod API as it means that there will be no more id conflicts (!!!), and that just in general they are working on it. So, do you think that we will get the API in 1.7? My guess is that we will, with 1.7 coming out at Minecon.

I VERY MUCH doubt that we will get a modding api in 1.7.
Heck i doubt that we will ever get it, mojang needs to clean up their code alot.

I think we will be getting it AFTER Minecon.

And I seriously doubt we will be getting a proper Mod API. And if we do get it, get ready to be flooded with Obsidian and Emerald tools.

Why can't I like this post more than once?

hmm.. what if 2 mods add blocks with the same name?

One of them is ModA:IamDumb and the other ModB:IamDumb

What if they use the same name and have the same item?

oh my.

Did anyone feel like they lifted terrain gen from Extra Biomes XL?

Plus new fish! W00T?

I'm going to blow your mind:

that's what they have been doing

Well, I REALLY look forward to the command block changes, as in they can now place and break blocks.
BADASS for map makers.

THIS and the amplified terrain gen. Epic, epic builds and locations await

A whole new kind of transforming house

I think with every update that Mojang makes to Minecraft, they are one step closer to an official mod API. The fact that it is a couple miles away is a bit problematic, however.

But hey, 1 mile away is better than 2, right?

True, but who says that all of the steps are heading directly towards the goal?

Whoever makes them, that's who.

Are we just going to keep trading philosophical things?

A full rewrite would be the best thing to do at this point, but well, they probably aren't gonna do it, and that would mean that mods would have to be reworked 100% too

At this point any mod API they release is a downgrade to Forge and therefore basically worthless.

In addition, that ID removal change is pretty much going to go and break every mod ever. I'd say that's about one step forward and twenty back.
