Ah, there was a lot of fuss about that one.

Guess developer just gave up after retarded MC fans ruined his wiki and were bullying him all the time...

Yeah, so, I guess Yogcast just went a little insane.



The best thing is, they're using a damn TECHNIC PACK! How does that even fit?

I don't understand why, but everyone celebrates and buries Notch in the deepest ****.

How is Jeb better than Notch? What does he do better? What did Notch do to suddenly deserve all the hate?

Yeah, he took Yogcast and Minecon a little too serious, but otherwise he's still the good old sympathic and intelligent Notch. Everyone seems to be overlooking the good things, which quite outweigh that one fiasco...

No that was an easy joke. And I'm on the side of Notch too, but I guess it's easier to hate than to love. I'm a regular on sites like /v/ and they very quickly decided that he was lazy and whatnot, and that has gotten worse over time - yet everyone still plays and loves the game. They just need someone to hate and talk s*** about.

Jeb's develpment might be a good thing though, as he's a good coder and allround nice guy who fixes bugs before adding new features. There's still a very bright future for Minecraft, if you'd ask me.

Jeb isn't a great coder. Minecraft's source is getting crazier and crazier*

*as far as I can tell, from looking at the community-deobfuscated source.

As far as I heard Jeb is quite good. One of my sources is the programmer that handles our server who usually makes some changes to the server code - to coerce spawning and fix some other things like boats, also to make sure things run smoothly with the nether and all that, especially a few updates back - and he reckons it's indeed Jeb that fixes Notch's sloppy coding. Now I do understand that albeit sloppy Notch codes awesome stuff he came up with, so the natural order of things is him (most probably being a "plant" on one of those team-orientated task tests) cramming things he thinks are good in, with Jeb completing them.

Or whatever, I might be jabbering.

It seems that Jeb is someone who actually cares about fixing bugs in the code. Notch has mainly been busy with adding new features all the time and it was not until Jeb came on that there was a rise in bug fixes every release. It still surprises me that there was no major bug fix release until 1.6 (which took 6 iterations anyway because of all the newly introduced bugs). Most software that I know of try to fix major issues in the next release or the one after that, but with Minecraft they sometimes seem te be around for half a year or more. And then there are still major quirks left :o

From following Notch on twitter it seems he is indeed more about coding new stuff rather than fixing old stuff. Also, I'm not sure he's quite in the proper work mind set yet...

You're pretty much on the money in my opinion. We plants are great at starting projects.

That's all though.

Yep. I once did one of those tests too, turned out to be a plant. But with a high level of one of the others too, which meant I could have a load of ideas and never finish them, but also was good at making tea for everyone. Odd test.

As crazy as that is, it's dam entertaining watching the videos. Going to have to look up this Technic Pack now just because of that.

Am I the only one who wishes development went back to the "major" releases once a month or so? I felt a new rush everytime they came out, where as weekly updates leave me bored after awhile.

You don't have to use them y'know ;)
