I saw a very funy line

Timber!
- IRL when cutting down a tree the entire tree falls. This mod applies the same feature in Minecraft.
Irl, you don't smelt metal at the same temperature you cook your food, you don't chop a tree with your fist, nearly every non-gaz material falls when not correctly supported against gravity, water is not infinite, lava/magma cools down really fast when exposed to colder temperatures, smithery is a long and complex process, when you die, you don't respawn, and usually, you are not alone in the world. Oh, and when you cut down a tree, sure, it falls, but not in conveniently sized pieces, the whole trunk just goes horizontal instead of vertical, not really helpful when you don't have a machine to make planks out of it, nor the strength to take it to the machine in the first place.
Do we really need to go on any longer?
Timber is a mod that many people like for its convenience in getting wood in great quantity very early, in very little time.
As said above, if you want realism, TFC is a mod that attempts to bring that to Minecraft, and does quite a nice job at it, but it's really not the same game any more.
But that's not the main reason I post here.
Optifine seems nice and all, but it doesn't have any permission, and it does have quite a few problems. For some people, it simply doesn't enhance FPS, and if it doesn't exactly match a Forge version, there are chances of crashes every now and then.
Do we really want something that will delay the updates even longer?
I don't mean the MC updates, but the updates to the mod packs for the same version.
For mods such as Dynamic lightning or shaders, they tend to hit the FPS quite heavily on machines that barely escaped the lag, and render it unplayable for people that already had a computer that was slow with the game to begin with.
Such mods are for the user to decide if they want/can run/need it, and the "Edit Mod Pack" button is there for this very reason to begin with.
Also, why are people saying that optifine is something that Mojang is too lazy to fix?
They gave informations that they were indeed working on something that is supposed to put Optifine to shame some time ago. Ok, it's Mojang, so it probably won't be a priority when compared to a list of feature that they find that wouldd fit in the game, but at least it's on their list.
