And the single dev of Twilight Forest still has better looking mobs and a more populated snow biome.
But the bears ARE cute. Not penguin level, but up there.

Even if you stop doing all devolopment, any updates, improvements, fixes and send all employees home people will not stop buying this. Do you see that flow of money? They are pass that point when community will ride the waves without any captain on board of the ship. Kinda like valve and games. With steam they dont care anymore. They have what they wanted.
I am missing your point here. Are you saying that new cow and flower is all we need to forget any modding API ? Or that those announced™ content updates are so good and rich u dont need any modding at all.
I'm saying I'd rather they spend some time working on content updates that we can actualy see. Rather than only working on back end stuff we can't.
Use to be that Mojang alternated content oriented updates with back end updates.

Well considering how big, rich and popular MC is i would expect for mojang... sorry Microsoft to push entire new worlds, 100 new structures, technology trees with things like pipes/machines/belts/cranes, magic rituals spells, new modular ships, more and more redstone logic hell even port whole thing from java to C++ in a week. Something with sells of $300+ million a year is no longer an indie game. Its no longer passion, is pure business. Even Mojang no longer cared and try to guess how much will Microsoft. If you have gold coins jumping out of gold mine in millions would you keep digging ?

The main problem with business is its business. Cold, clear cut lines for the profit margin. You NEED passion to give it a heart and soul, its why Minecraft was so good to start with. Its why we have such a large and diverse modding community.
Look how many bland and uninspiring sequels there are in today's entertainment industry- almost all designed for profit [or to appease shareholders/sponsors] rather than passion.
Granted business is good for "get your ass in gear and fix the damn bugs already/get the API working"

I'm a bit late to the party, but there is one thing that was never mentioned in the conversation about clean code and code style/structure/readability. For some reason, many developers find it efficient to just straight up copy paste code from vanilla minecraft. So we end up with a bunch of field_xxx for vars, func_xxx for methods, and p_xxx for method parameters. This, more so than poorly named variables (if they wrote it and didn't copy it, chances are it makes at least a small amount of sense), makes code horribly unmaintainable and unreadable. Go take a look at some of the FSP code that hasn't been touched in a while, like the boiler tile entity, and you'll see what I mean.
Ok did I miss something? What happened to NEI that they have to make a new unrelated version?
I think that Chickenbones is busy with real life. Not sure though.
