that answers alot. I wondered both how they got BTW when he was so against it being in mod packs, but also didn't get why some others would have had issue (heck some openly said they dont care). Turns out he did, they didn't.

But I do wonder if thats changed. Since it sounded like he was working with some of the modders now.

Back on topic, I read the post about Notch stepping down and was surprised with how many people were upset. They make it sound like without notch directly overseeing things that things will be ruined. Specifically removing dragons, and the idea that they'd remove something is just silly.

I just want the following promises to be implemented:

1. Finite Maps ala Indev.
2. Different World types ala, Floating or Hell in Indev
3. The Dungeons and Levers mode.
4. The zombie siege mode.
5. Actual Magic, like was promised. I Would be cool with Wands and such, but I want magic missile dammit.

I get all but this one

Or otherwise known as Ego inflation.

Well, in their defense, the mod makers (the technic pack ones specifically) completely are updating minecraft better than notch. Technic pack is a thousand times better than vanilla MC.

Don't forget that the Millenaire mod was doing NPC villages for a long time before they became official. With working AI and different civilization types even.

technically he didn't millenaire is in technic pack too. Actually I think finite water and aether are the only well known mods that aren't in there

Umm...No they aren't. There are tons more. All of the yogbox, for instance.

And man, the npc villages in vanilla minecraft are fucking terrible. They don't even do anything, and now MC 1.0 has launched and it still has those terrible-ass squidward villagers. I really hoped those were just a placeholder, but nope.

Millenaire is ballin', though.

Red Power is where it's at.

The fuss with Flowerchild and the Redpower Dev Girl (and co-founder of Forge) is that she implimented a couple of blocks that fufil some of the functions of a few of his blocks, but they do it better and more intuitivly.

Yep.
And suddenly Forge is bloatware, RedPower is a mod that doesn't jive with the feel of Minecraft and Better Than Wolves so you're really a terrorist if you even consider using it and Eloraam (RedPower's developer) is a big poopy-face.

I mean, I'm not gonna say I told you so, but I think I've been one of the first here to see what a childish asshole FlowerChild is.

Did you know he even tried to have a perfectly valid mod removed from the Minecraft Forums and labelled as a virus or malware? Simply because it was incompatible with Better Than Wolves?

Yeah.

In his defence, Better Than Wolves DOES add a lot of good stuff. I'm just not certain it's all better than wolves to warrant the name.

Personal opinion. I feel that other then a few things vanilla minecraft is just where it needs to be. Some of those mods can make things to complicated to fast. Minecraft has the whole "its simple so you can complicate" it mentality to it. I do wish jeb would finish up potions and give some things thefeatures they promised but thats game development for you. otherwise its at a nice place. And hopefully scrolls will be good.
