Overall I see no harm to me in going that route, assuming there is an official up-to date file, and the staff will notify the language pack authors of the changes done to it. In the end, I don't need the language pack to play the mod, its the others who will get to fiddle around with checking if theirs is latest, downloading and installing more packages on top of the mod. Pretty sure mc doesn't have version control to do that.

Not quite sure about condescension. Many suggestions I see start like "I think this part is wrong, here's what I suggest to fix it". Optionally there's also a part "and here's why I think this is wrong" somewhere in the middle. This is the most efficient way to get the point across. Sure we can dance around with fancy words, but in the end this is just adding layers of fluff on top of essentially what I described bit higher up this post, and reading all this fluff to me already starts to feel like I'm debugging a Spring application, filled with generics, abstract factories, proxies, delegates and intersectors. Which if you've done it at any point, you would know what I mean and how much of a waste of time it is.

It's the item that does the check of whether or not it can be placed in certain places or not, so most parts it depends on how this item is written. Overall it IS possible. Technically, everything is possible when you talk about programming. Cetain things are just not worth doing, due to performance intensity, for example.

Why would anyone want to suggest the wrong way to improve something? Anyone who would want to suggest something would also genuinely believe that his is the right way, that's just how it works.

As a matter of fact, moving to resource packs will only help the immature minority to do what they always do. It's much easier to make custom resource packs and put whatever you want in there.

I think different textures based on weight is a nice touch to organic visual player feedback rather than displaying a set of symbols or numbers (one of the reasons I never really got into Dwarf Fortress, but quite enjoying RimWorld despite latter being technically inferior to the former). But. It is sure to bring confusion at first, since no other system currently will work that way. Because of that, later down the line devs will probably be swarmed by suggestions about adding the same computation here and there (so writing new all-custom renderer once might not be that bad of an idea, really). Texture packs? Texture packs are no problem, honestly. Minecraft DOES fall back to the "vanilla" resource if currently active resource bundle has no resource by that type and name, I believe. And it's texture pack artist woes, really, to keep his stuff compatible. Though I do understand how much pain it is to keep up with backwards incompatible changes.

That is not a right reason to have new features created, but if in the end we still end up with a better thing overall, so I'm fine.

To whoever did Russian translation for Kitty's Birthday alias - kudos to you for my massive grin.

I'm only answering on the part that "there's no way to keep track of this", not'n more. There is, in fact, a way to keep track of almost everything that's happening in the game, and this becomes more and more true as build versions keep climbing.

Pretty sure there are either events or specific hookable method calls for entities entering and leaving the fluid blocks. mAtmos did provide engines for all that for a long time in any way. Edit: I mean, engines that listen to those events, not engines that provide events. And I was actually referring to the fact that it IS trackable how much distance the player had himself swimming - this all is tracked by the vanilla on the stat screen.

What about that massive NBT map each player entity has?

It was not TFC that was sensitive to time scaling, it was base Minecraft.

This is most likely the TFC codebase not returning valid biomeGrassColor and biomeFoliageColor I don't see these methods overridden anywhere out there

Is it slower then?

To folks doing russian translation along with me: Snowberry может быть переименовано из снежноягодника в жимолость, так как это один из немногих и относительно съедобных видов семействаSymphoricarpos, кроме того это название намного понятнее, чем снежноягодник. Wintergreen - я по прежнему в сомнениях, что же это за ягода такая, в самом-то деле. Так называют один из подвидов вереска, а не брусники, с одной стороны. С другой стороны, брусника немного больше подходит под вид блока и использование. Какие идеи?

I believe we still don't have proper tags for this forum. Would be much easier for organization to have what he do in this Category things as forum topic tags, and Suggestion discovery thread would then have links to search pages over suggestion subforum for topics bearing such tags in order of last update date. I would expect this is simple enough thing that lessens Kitty's workload by a ton by allowing users themselves to police what goes where, and admins are sill able to police users' stuff by removing and adding appropriate tags.

This is a matter of modifying the block renderer, not much more. You could bug someone like Better Foliage guy to implement this, I'd think.

It would, except that I need to compare *.java and *.class files, not two *.class files.

We both talk about *.class files, right? If so, then you can concievably read it without decompiling, it returns as a set of JVM assembler commands, and even retains come of the names for classes, methods and variables. I know this because I'm occasionally having to check which version of class is ACTUALLY deployed to JVM.

Reading java code takes just a decompiler, like jd gui. Or you can just open it as a text and enjoy your looking at assembler-like commands. With adequate proficiency, you can understand what is happening in the code quite easily. Now, changing something and compiling it back - that's a slight problem.

So how do you know what sequence of hits is required again?

To this I just have to say: not at all.

Bones in general aren't really rare in forests, given there was something that was eaten recently. Quite a number of predators do not eat marrow, methinks.

Or simply add bones to TFC rubble, as is with sticks now.

I hear there's at least a site that is dedicated to minecraft tree schematics. Maybe contact them?
