Ok, I've been gone for a while - I decided to take a spontaneous vacation or something like that. That's not really important aside from explaining why I wasn't here. What is -

I am retiring from Minecraft modding

A couple reasons really.

First off, this whole actually having a job thing means I have way less time than I did before. Eight hour office job plus an hour commute each way (though I do plan to move).
Second, what spare time I have I'd like to spend doing something, I don't know, actually social.
Third, I'm just kind of burnt out, mainly due to remaining relatively unknown these past months.

So yeah. This is kind of sudden, but it's for the best for me to just pull out here rather than dragging things out with "but I'll update soon!" nonsense. Nobody likes that. For the mods themselves, I am turning the source over to the Technic team (and specifically TehKrush) who have pledged to update them. Be nice to them!

I won't be updating the mods here anymore, but I'll leave this thread open for any discussion about them that people want to have. It's been a great few months, and all of you fans have been wonderful, but it's just time for me to move on. I'll not really be watching this thread but I may (may) answer PMs and I'll probably be in the technic pack IRC because those guys are the best and deserve all your support.

Thanks for all the support and hopefully the game and its mods will only continue to get better even after I leave. Have fun!

Thanks for what you have done, and letting others take over what you have started. You will be missed in the community.

Thanks for everything you did for us! Good luck with the job and move and real life

Best of luck to you, thanks for everything! I have installed the Technic Pack about a day ago, Recently have started getting acquainted with your mod, I really like it.

power crystals has been a part of Technic from the beginning, did you not know this? His power convertor blocks were a request by me that he graciously put together. He is among the best coders in the Minecraft modding scene and its sad to see him go.
Now, being the extremely cool, level headed and classy guy he is he has given his source to us (or rather, to TehKrush) specifically to keep things rolling.
Technic is a Good Thing™ for the community, even if we don't bother trying to have a presence here on the MCForums.

i was actually consdering downloading the minefactory mod, but knowing you support the technic pack, i will not be going near any of these mods.

You know who else supports Technic? Eloraam, sole maintainer of the Forge. You should stop using all Forge mods now. Please, go on, we'll wait.

Grats, you just walked into a store that just went out of business and screamed that you aren't ever going to shop there.

The major forge modders have basically all been pressured into acceptance of the technic pack by the community and enticed by small donations. It sets a bad precident, and I for one won't use it either, but I won't complain if they won't.

1. I would like to see a quote from Eloraam saying she "supports" it and not just that she accepts it.

2. Even if El does support it, many of the other forge based modders don't, such as Sir Sengir of Forestry and Alblaka of IC2. It's rediculous to say you should drop all forge mods because one modder is ok with it.

As far as power crystals goes, member of the technic team or not, you made a really good mod and I enjoyed it a lot. Good luck in the future and all the best. Thank you.

Technic is the Minecraft Mafia, and Kakermix is the Don...breakin' kneecaps.

And there is just no telling how deep this rabbit hole goes.

I don't think you are getting what I'm saying: Eloraam makes FORGE ITSELF, not just her mod, she is the only person doing the day-to-day of updating the API. All other mods depend on her work. Why not ask her yourself what she thinks of Technic, unlike everyone else in the MC community she is not a big attention-seeking baby so she doesn't make huge declarations when it isn't really necessary; everyone should know this by now if they follow her at all.

Where do you guys get your information? Why do you guys feel the need to speak for people you don't know about things you don't understand? Preassured into accepting Technic because of donations? How would that even work?

And for the record, Alblaka was the very first person to grant approval to have IC2 in Technic. See how that works? You say he doesn't accept it, and yet he does and you have a foot in your mouth.

[ChicagoBob]

I for one always enjoyed power crystals mod, i am sad to see him leave but do understand his reasons. I wish you well my friend, thanks for all your hard work and hope your future is bright. That being said i think i am gonna give mightyporks Powercraft a try, i like the idea of conveyors and his seems pretty good.

While I'm interested in honest discussion about this topic, and more than willing to have my mind changed, I've seen too many threads god down hill and got locked by discussions such as this. I'd hate to see power crystals thread become that. Are there any threads where this is the intended topic?
