Modders and Players, prepare. 1.2.5 is coming (the FUCK, we’re still waiting for 1.2.4 mods!!). And so is the long-awaited Modder’s API.
Jeb was actually thinking of releasing 1.2.5 today…, but thankfully (seriously, he would be a total dick on my list if he released it) he wants to give modders and the MCP time to update and prepare their mods with the new API, by releasing it as a snapshot.
How will the new mod install effect players? No more having to edit minecraft.jar, and more compatibility with other mods! All I can say, it’s about damn time. Hopefully the new API will get updates faster to players, allowing us to update faster. But, that still depends on the individual modders.
Exactly how the API will benefit for modders and players alike, or what it will look like, Jeb wants to keep us in suspense. Only to “keep an eye out for updates”.
As for me, I’m sitting pretty laughing at all the idiots who decided it was a “good idea” to update to 1.2.4 instead of waiting for their mods to update. And I’m having to see the “Author, y u mod no work with 1.2.4?!?!” replies.
But the best update beggar has to be what I saw in Mo’ Creatures, when he said “update like now”. Sure, they’ll definitely listen to your demands! (not)
EDIT: Disturbing news. 1.2.5 is coming next week, according to Gamechap’s video. And it includes more than the Mod API; multi-colored sheep, something about Chickens will have more uses, and some new “Writing” thing for maps. Maybe a new API to create the kind of custom map you want.
But who gives a fuck about that, when Jeb is being a total dick and not making the team wait ’till everyone’s got their mods? Stop fucking rushing updates! We don’t NEED 1.2.5! We’re still waiting for 1.2.4 mods!
