this is why i love computercraft
it's not one of those mods that only serves the purpose of automating a process or just adds more items/blocks. it does do these things, but it also does much more than that, in addition to the challenge of accomplishing what you want to do with the mod. it requires actual programming and problem solving skill.
there's a usability and a forgetaroundability side to the mod, and it makes the game easier and harder at the same time, while doubling the possibilities and fun you can have in minecraft.
