There's a lot of talk about this in Direwolf's SMP on the Forgecraft server, and I'm wondering what exactly about the update causes all this trouble for the mod authors. I know the way Minecraft handles textures got changed, but what else?

That's all. Graphics and models are all changed, so this means that all mods need to redo their models and graphics. This would probably affect Redpower the most, as the wires, logic gates, solar panels and wind turbines need their models redone. That's a lot.

Oh, okay. It's just that they were talking about it being a total rewrite, which made me think there was something else.

Minecraft is essentially being rewritten bit by bit to make the new modding API better, Apparently the code was too unstable for there initial attempt. This is just what I've heard. Not sure if its true Thats what the 1.3 plus updates have been doing .

Actually, watching DW20's new SMP episode, maybe it's not all about graphics. They said it is WORSE than 1.3 :S
