    I always love how people are "Oh Mojang is so closeminded we will have to ship 2TB of json files for mods blabla" "we'll have to stay on 1.7 forever" "microsoft ruined everything"
    The scripted block models are a great idea - they just have to make them more flexible
    Also forge will find a way to work around it (until mojang fixes it).


    From a mojang pov this was a mostly sane thing to do - they dont have extremely flexible blocks in the game. Pretty sure they thought of how they want to handle more complex things and have something planned for that.
    And mods? Well, just stay on 1.7 and switch to 1.9 or whatever when it comes out - or hack in a solution (which forge is probably gonna do)

    (Im just guessing here, I dont have knowledge of minecraft modding)
    Looks like extrautils transfer nodes thingy got stuck in an infinite recursion (or the pipe system is too big?) so it causes a stack overflow and the minimap is just in there since it has a hook on block access to update the minimap?

    Hopefully less outages due to other stuff overloading it (Its quite beefy, more ram, 64GB, than I know what to do with) - otherwise, nope!

    Moved the database to a new server (took an hour instead of a few minutes like planned)
    IC.net is gonna move within the next few days too, there shouldn't be any major downtime though

    From what data I have about 22k in september and 12k this month so far (3k today?). Keep in mind this is just outgoing links from the forum, wiki and such I can see - so it's likely way more
    Would have to ask player for more detaled stats

    The only problem I have with the "Pay for features" thing is that the author obviously doesn't want to actually include it. The end result is usually MUCH better when you actually want to add/do it, and having it added for payment, to me, makes me think that it isn't going to be particularly well made/maintained.
    Although, The only instance I can think of one of these happening was from Pams HC, which I can sort of understand because, according to her, she had both lost her job and had major surgery at the time, so monetary requirements for a while becomes rather less morally bad.

    Yeah, it really depends on the circumstances.
    If the features are real improvements which take time to create, then it's perfectly reasonable - of course taking into account you really need the money (=> time) to work on these features.
