Minecraft 1.5

Congratulations Mojang, you just made releasing Shrine Runner even later... I was planing on releasing it either late January-early Feburary at the latest. This just sent my plans back even further.

Hey, the spawn eggs are helpful for adventure maps, much more reliable then spawners (if you can get infinite of them). but now that i think about it, overall it was a small update (but better then 1.2.3-1.2.4-1.2.5 that came without any of the snapshot items )

I'm pretty certain that the modding API was confirmed to not be in 1.5

Dinnerbone basically denied any mod API in 1.5

anyone want to guess when the Modding API will be released? im guessing between 1.8-2.0

So what is the anti-mod bit of the update? Just the general underlying changes?

Pick a random number between 1 and 10, now throw that number away and keep telling the public that the API will be released next version. You are now thinking like Mojang.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't release information on a aspect of a game/ full game before you start working on it *cough* smash bros 4 *cough*

The mod API can be considered the biggest vaporware in Minecraft history.

First they need to put it into the game, and then they need to get it in a releasable state. Currently the Minecraft code architecture is a big pile of mess that just randomly happens to work from time to time (aka release) and I do not expect this to change very soon, as the same people who created the mess are still working on it and consider it decent. So no need to rush anything just because they announced something.

This is btw. one of the reasons I do not expect any modding API this century, at least none that is even remotely acceptable, however I wouldn't mind if they'd surprise me.

If Mojang keeps it up for much longer, they might even rival Valve releasing anything with a 3 in its title

Maybe Gaben is secretly a Mojangsta.

Even if mojang made a modding API, forge would still be better xD

Agreed

Or maybe it will be like Duke Nukem Forever, 10-15 years in development, then finally released, but when its released its a piece of shit compared to the alternatives in the market.

Edit: Also nothing to do (Directly) With IC2, so wrong forum for this (I had to, i haven't been bitching in here for days)
