But his ignorant stance just makes him look, well ignorant. It would be smarter for him to accept that things that he says are impossible are possible and move on. Besides he is a company owner as of now, not some guy on the internet.
[QUOTE=WTF Nuke;26746012]So did you guys notice that Notch keeps saying things are impossible, and then a mod does it? Like say the moving light mod.[/QUOTE]
Do you have a link to said moving light mod?

He should just ask the coder to help him with adding things that he can't.
There isn't anything wrong with changing your mind. I can like Water one day and Milk the next.
[QUOTE=Daedraul;26746060]I always wondered that.
Why doesn't he just ask the guy who makes the "impossible, possible" to help him implement it into the game.[/QUOTE]
Because the modders make these "Impossible" things in rather hacky ways that Notch would rather not do.
For example many mods that involve block movement involve the deletion and re-creation of the blocks in another place. This not only adds unwanted overhead, it can actually overload a server if many players are moving blocks at the same time. Same with moving lights, you have to update lights on every affected block for every block the player moves. I'd say it's not really multiplayer-friendly.
If you have any online friends that say Minecraft has shit graphics, give them a 256x256 texture pack so their PC explodes and you won't have to hear their complaining anymore.
It really is a serious blow to one's ego to have to admit defeat to thousands (more?) of people.

Not really unstable. If you place a torch, break it, move, and repeat this, the game does not become unstable. And if it does, than that is a problem with his code, not the mods.

Then he should add some sort of "Built In Mods" option in the menu.
So you can enable certain mods, and it'll give a detailed explanation on what it does, Ei: This makes it so holding a torch lights around you, but will lower your FPS.
Notch just seems up tight about his code. Notice the new programmer hasn't done anything for MC.

I'm pretty sure they're working on something together. Like the music blocks.

Code that causes bugs in Notch's code are not necessarily Notch's fault. If he optimizes the game differently than works best for the mods, his code is just as valid as the modder's code, although they may not be fully compatible.
I completely agree with the above posts, notch really has a lot of room to improve the game here, first though i think he needs to fix the bugs, fire code, leaf decay etc...
I hate that hes upping the price and it isnt even finished yet
My server is back up... Mcadmin keeps turning mobs off
Besides notch has to keep the game optmized. If he can make flashlights cast actual dynamic lights instead of changing each block's light state individually, no doubt he's gonna do it.
Goddamnit, Cabron, you're not on my Minecraft playlist what are you doing here? :argh:
nevermind, WinAmp decided to play hacky-sack with my playlists
i'm going back to linux where it's safe and things make sense.

I agree with you but I was talking about better light which just moves an invisible torch. I am saying if the creation and deletion of blocks causes lag, then notch is doing something wrong.

The responses are just as bad.

It's not visible lag if you delete and replace one block at a time, but if you keep doing it, and multiple players start using it, there will be more traffic between the server and player. Though a few addons won't hurt until notch implements a official solution.

Most games don't have dynamic worlds, and even the ones that do don't have the entire world able to be destroyed or created. So Notch has to use significantly more memory in keeping track of where the blocks are.

The fuck?
I opened the post in another tab to check the thread, and when I was about to read the post, I saw yours.
So what is everyone's favorite texture pack so far? Mine is Wombo's and doku's.
I seriously feel like registering an account and flaming those idiots for the rickroll thing instead of staying on topic

I usually use Eldpack but I've been stuck on Quandary for a bit now.
fucking grass textures don't match up on the sides and top though.

But that's only 1 deletion every time you move a block. It still isn't much, even if say 12 people are doing it. I can see how this can clog up the light code tho. But anyway, the mor is SP and my point is that things notch says are impossible are just things notch hasn't found a solution to. Yet(or never who knows).

I would usually rage at that but /ck/ is making me feel pretty hungry right now.
Can't focus on rage when I'm searching for a good recipe.

I was talking about single block deletion.
