Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

forge's environment is becoming increasingly hostile towards modding, though I don't want to elaborate on it too much (as it would be fairly off-topic here, and probably just devolve into politics and bannings). Based on my experience trying to use it so far, though, the low 1.7 mod count is only p...

Re: Q: Don't Starve complete?

Hmm, I am not sure that I have ever felt that Don't Starve had obvious loose ends.. Like FC said, Caves design does feel out of place, but I can't think of anything that feels incomplete. Caves are more unpolished then incomplete IMHO. They just feel like an odd branch in the game. They might have f...

Re: "Spiderbro" or "The spider that saved my life"

I actually really like this kind of emergent gameplay, as it shows a sort of competition between predators, which you could never see in vanilla. The environment in BTW is definitely way more interesting than vanilla just because things happen around you, and not everything revolves around things y...

This week I've been playing with the new launcher too.

It should be trivial to create a tool to automate installing a new mod profile.

This weekend I was thinking of whipping something up, then checking how hard it would be to submit a patch to add that functionality to mcpatcher.

I'm on the fence. On one hand it would be nice to separate out circuit Logic and interaction with the world. Mean that logic gates have On / Off states. But actuators might have a threshold of signal, before they activate. And sensors might give analog signals. Some examples: weak input signal means...
