Isn't this already possible with normal Minecraft? I mean obviously you have to write your mod with Java, but still.

  Yes, you are correct. But normal MC is not open source. :)

    Even though Notch was supposed to make it open source at some point. Another broken promise.

      That point was when Minecraft was worthless. It's currently somewhere around the $2.5b mark in value. But that's just splitting hairs, it won't likely ever be open-sourced after MS acquired it. That said, they also promised a modding API too...

        I dunno... Microsoft has been open sourcing some pretty awesome stuff lately.

      What he actually said was "Once sales start dying and a minimum time has passed, I will release the game source code as some kind of open source." [0]. Sales haven't died down and he doesn't own it anymore anyway.

        Seems like selling it is the broken promise. If sales die down, and a minimum time passes, he still can't OS it because he sold it. Still, as long as the idea's out there... I heard the codebase isn't actually that great...
