I tried making Minecraft-quality mods for Minetest and the API just wasn't there and... I stand somewhat corrected. Some of the features I wished were there are now there, but not all. So it is moving forward.

The "Adventure Update" and future updates in the same vein: hunger, enchanting, RPG-esque elements, etc. Also, some of the major redstone additions from the later versions, which are the ones I'd miss most.

It doesn't. Many classrooms rely on ComputerCraftEdu, for instance. While OpenComputers exists, it is not optimized for education, but rather for gameplay.

Actually, Pocket Edition does have a modding scene - they left all debug symbols in, which let a few willing developers build an API around it. Windows 10 Edition, however, does not, and is thus not moddable.

Pocket Edition is a separate codebase, used for Windows 10 Edition which is not yet however a replacement for Minecraft. There are, I believe, three distinct versions of the engine: the Java one, the C++ one and I think the console codebase

There has been severe refactors going on ever since 1.2 or so. Whether they are beneficial or not is still a large debate between modders, but from a stability and customizability perspective they most likely are.

I played with Minetest for a while. It feels like it suffers from a lack of identity beyond "it's Minecraft, but free and hackable!". This is not enough to build a unified playerbase, I'm afraid. Its API is much simpler,

Sadly, TrueCraft, due to its nature, has to lock out one of the most potentially interested groups - Minecraft modders, both former and current. This saddens me a bit, as I myself am a strong fan of the beta 1.7.3 design ideals.

Orebfuscator is a pretty nice solution to X-ray. As for super fast mining tools, you can just not add any to the game.

Any attempt at improving the mod mechanism will make many of the things mods now do impossible, as many of their features rely on things which would never fly in a sandboxed environment. This is probably why, instead of the modding API, we

The license seems to be "very illegal", as this is a fork of the NT4 source code leak.

NetSurf is not keystroke-centric enough, obviously. (Also, uuterm is much lighter if you want a framebuffer-based terminal, however it needs a patch ( https://github.com/asiekierka/yuyulinux/blob/master/u

Yet. The Git version seems to already have preliminary JavaScript integration, based on Duktape. There was also an earlier attempt in 2012-13, utilizing SpiderMonkey.

Spigot does this for another reason: thanks to someone making the arguably stupid choice of using GPLv3 for a project linking to (propiertary) Minecraft source code, CraftBukkit has been DMCA'd by one of the lead developers over Mojang

Try using RedLogic. It's what Project: Red forked off of and provides better performance at the cost of, well, only having RP2's logic components. (Or just update to 1.7. Most mods should update seamlessly.)

This looks like a great proof of concept with some software (especially a lightweight package manager) which I always wanted to see come to life and possibly use myself!

From my experience, this bug appears rather randomly.

Heh. Nice work. As a mod developer, my plan on revitalizing Minecraft and making it more of a sandbox again was always centered about designing a modpack going in that direction - I've been working on it since December. I don't re

Freeminer is trying to improve on Minetest in the graphical aspect, if you're curious.

Garbage collection pauses work very much fine on a heavily modded server I monitor as part of BuildCraft development. The server, with its 40+ mods and about 20 thousand tile entities running at any given time generates about 50-100MB of ob

The Plan 9 support was contributed by other people. I'm sure that if there was nobody left to maintain it, it would have been dropped long ago.

You must not forget that many distros moved to systemd out of necessity rather than desire, and for some (Debian) the decision was lengthy, splitting and controversial. EDIT: By "necessity", I mean things such as GNOME (which is a
