Why don't more mods put effort into surviving MC updates

[Democretes]

You are *technically* allowed to be paid to make mods, though I find it to be a gray area.

It's very gray. Maybe even porpoise gray.

 

[PierceSG]

Which shade of gray out of 50 of them?

 

[Democretes]

Porpoise gray. Always best choice.

Ah yes, our coding nemesis, the dreaded "s".

Have you never used sed? s/X/Y/ replaces X with Y.

 

[Reika]

Have you never used sed? s/X/Y/ replaces X with Y.

No, I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[SatanicSanta]

No, I have no idea what you are talking about.

So, like, if you had "Random tpyo", you could go s/tpyo/typo/ and it would become "Random typo".

You are putting too much effort into explaining this.

Ah, the same as strtran function in FoxPro (programmable database language/system that I use every day)

Possibly Probably Definitely so, but now I know how to use a Jibril command that I will pretty much never use, because unless it's on the wiki, I do not care if I made a typo.
