The End of Minecraft

In Minecraft 1.9 Pre-release 6 there is now an end of the game. I killed the dragon and just read the story and the credits. It somehow seems sad now that there is an end to Minecraft, almost like its over. Just feels weird...

Don't worry. Before you know there will be a mod that allows you to keep playing after you kill the dragon.

You can still play after you kill the dragon.

Really? Then can you really call it an end? :P

Well hopefully Notch gets the modding api out soon. That would be pretty cool.

The mod API makes no difference whatsoever.

Theoretically wouldn't it make it so all mods could be compatible? and also so it doesn't break them on new updates?

Theoretically it should, only the so called "modding API" is just the entire minecraft code, unobfuscated.

If you want to read the ending story, check that :

I have to say I really like it :)

That would certainly be nice, but it has nothing to do with what Notch has announced for the mod API.

It's not a magic bullet. Most people probably won't even notice the difference before and after its release. It will make things *slightly* more convenient for modders (not for players) in that we won't need MCP anymore, but that's it. This is balanced however by the fact that initially, I'm likely to have to do a MASSIVE refactoring of my code to convert it from MCP to the mod API which will probably take the mod out of commission for a good long while.

There's a lot of wild speculation floating around about what amazing properties the mod API will have, but most of that is just utter rubbish perpetuated by people that don't understand what it actually is.

Is it me or would it be smarter at this point for Mojang to declare that MCP is the official mod API, give them some money and support and call it done?

BigShinyToys · Post by **BigShinyToys** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 7:30 pm

More randome speculation. If i rember correcty when there were testing the API a while back MCP got a hold of it. Then they changed the function names to the correct ones . meaning that the convershion should be smoth between MCP and VMC API ( not the real name of it )

Considering mojang's track record you'd be right. Though getting more block Id's would be nice.

If your computer can handle it, an addon to the cubic chunks mod gives you up to 4096 block IDs. I have to go to bed, so if you want it, use google.

So...Run around the world, explore a huge dungeon, visit hell for supplies, kill a few endermen, go to some weird desert and kill a dragon. Then get told you've spent too long playing minecraft.

Sounds about right.

-_- So it's not really an API? It's just a little bit of convenient code changing the unobfuscated code? Oh...

I was expecting something more like the Forge API.

Even if it *was* an API like forge, you'd still need another API for most mods anyway since there's no way in hell that the mojang team would fit in every last hook needed. It would be nice if they absorbed modloader into the main game though, that'd save some work (since almost everything depends on it anyway).

That fine for creative mod but what about survival? there's allot that needs to be done for that.

I just watched the story and.... I love it. These are probably ideas that goes on everyone's minds now and then. I know I have thought about that. Very well written.

Yes, the story is pretty amazing.
Hopefully it all wraps up nicely at Minecon.

I really liked that ending.

Totally different from how I would have done it, but maybe that's a good thing. I kinda like this better.

This story is just so amazing. Words can't describe how I feel right now. It's so trippy on one spectrum, and yet, realistic on another.

EDIT: I think the best part of the credits is Lydia by far. I mean, how many companies have Directors of Fun?

Kind of amazed so many people like it. o_O I thought it was boring and pretentious.

Yeah, the most it will get out of me is "meh".
