Why do mods break, anyway?

thats what I was thinking.

[MegaScientifical]

mostly bug fixes

mainly the one i like is that they fixed the ghosting tnt

Who says Dinnerbone's fixes are in there? Jeb only said Bukkit. Not that it wouldn't be, actually makes sense, but he didn't mention it... Wait, is Dinnerbone part of Bukkit?

Why do mods break, anyway?

Because of Obfuscation changes, as well as general coding changes. Basically, every big release, the code is changed. They have code that, when compiling the game, all commands and such are renamed sequentially. Basically, the first command that appears in A. Then AA, and so on. But it's differently ordered each time like... Well, I can't explain this right, but basically everything is named differently as well as their own coding changes which break it.

However, minor changes like 1.2.4 shouldn't break most mods since they only change obfuscation in major versions. The only breakages will happen in what they actually changed in the code, but that's a simple fix with obfuscation is already known.

Hey guys im thinking of a new game, We use our BL_IDs as blockland seeds and see which ones the best.

EDIT: I didnt put this in off topic or as a new topic in games since its minecraft related.

How about our authentication keys instead? 

They will most likely produce some interesting and varied results.

Say there is the AI code for Creepers in the A file, in version 1.2. After an update - to say....version 1.3, the code is split up again into multiple files randomly, and now the code for Creepers is in the X file. This causes mods to break, since now they have to find the code again, modify that file, and release.

I cant figure out how to install Tekkit. The lancher isnt working right.

[MegaScientifical]

I think the launcher is the installer.

Edit: You guys should seriously be following Dinnerbone. He's hyperactive: http://twitter.com/Dinnerbone

1: Sounds like he might add cats jumping on your face while you sleep if they're in the room with you.
2: Mobs glitching up and down on SMP wont be fixed until 1.3 because it will require big internal changes to correct.
3: He threatened to turn transmuted blocks like the special smooth stone an Circle Stone Brick into Raw Fish, although that was likely a joke.
4: He's modified cats to do something cute, but he says some users might find it annoying. This does not account for the previous feature he added, which might also apply to cats.
5: Apparently standing on Lilypads quickly draining hunger bar, and he's looking into it.
6: He's also fixing SMP boat bugs in 1.3.

Well, weve had so many new things added to Minecraft over the past year or so. Not to mention all the features we know are coming soon, like a modding API.

What do you guys think Jeb should add to the game?
I think Poop Blocks
(Props if you get the reference.)

Lewis: Oh, that's just.. Disgusting..

Maybe cats will jump on crafting tables while you're using them. My cat does that whenever I'm working on something on a table.
