If you have to ask the above, you've yet to understand the original arguments I made about wolves that inspired this mod to begin with.
The only features I tend to object to are the ones that take a huge amount of work relative to their benefit to the game.
If you've played the ending of Minecraft, then you know that Enderdragons are such a feature.
I have always had the greatest respect for Notch and his creation. Minecraft is probably the best game I've ever played, and certainly the single game I've gotten the most play time out of...ever.
Having said that though, as someone that cares deeply about the game, I've always felt somewhat obliged to point out when I think the design is going in the wrong direction and use this mod as a counter-example of the kind of stuff I'd much rather see in Minecraft.
My personal opinion is that many of the features in the release version are poorly thought-out and/or implemented. Frankly, I think the whole shift in focus towards combat is a mistake, and that the Enderdragon is the cherry on the cake of this trend.
Minecraft has never been about combat. It's actually always been a weakness of the design. But that's fine. Every game has strengths and weaknesses, and generally I find that the most successful games only really need to do one thing extremely well. Previously, combat really just served as a minor threat to your other in-game activities. It was never a focus.
In devoting such a huge amount of time to improving one of the weakest aspects of the game, and right in the end-stretch before release, I think that Mojang basically did the equivalent of someone that goes out on a date and spends the whole time talking about the wart on their nose, while hardly mentioning their PhD. They focused all that time on the weaknesses of their game, instead of its strengths, and frankly, combat is, and probably always will remain bad in Minecraft.
And not only did they do that, but they also designed a system with XP that causes people to focus their attention on one of the weakest aspects of the game while playing. Previously, combat was entirely optional, but the design is now encouraging people to engage in it, and making it the only way to obtain the most advanced tools available.
"Here...touch my wart...please!"
I've never hated wolves, and I don't hate Enderdragons. However, I have always considered both to be big mistakes in terms of the overall game's development, and both the name of the mod, and my most recent little change to it, are just my humorous way of saying "Come on man! You can do better than that!"
Thanks for writing this. I got the point of the mod, and why you made it, but I just thought that you were a cranky person who didn't like the game. I no longer feel negative toward the mod or you! Anyone know what happend to the mod API? This mod fits almost perfectly into the game and if notch went through with the modders API back in 1.6 then it could have been a part of it!

Wow I'd like to meet someone with enough spite to fuel them to do a major project such as BTW, that would be something to see. Usually love is the only thing that can get someone to go through the trials and tribulations that can be a software project. That or crap loads of money.
Have you played the mod and/or fought an Enderdragon? If you've answered 'yes' to both of those, then you have my sympathies for the many challenges you must face in life.
I like how this guy's username is "That Random Idiot"
Anyway, I know you probably get a lot of this but I LOVE this mod, and I think you're doing an amazing job with it! I love the appreciation you get when you really work hard to get those machines up and running. I mean, just getting a windmill took so much that I was truly devastated when it caught fire and was taken from me forever. I even built a little pretend grave and put "In loving memory of Windmill" on a sign for it (I'm not even joking |D).
So yes, thank you man, for all the man-hours you put into this incredible mod. ♥
Sorry, but you were worse than anything mojang ever put in the moment you released that "tanned leather armor". Or scoured or whatever.You took something once great and slandered it with rule 34, the WORST kind of corruption. I hereby disown you-FlowerChild- as a human.

Thank you for your kind message man, that was very nice of you :smile.gif:
"Grow a sense of humor." This. I can't even begin to describe the ethical failures here. I at least understand that in the way humans argue, I'll fail to use logic from here on out. Then again so will you and your following. My biggest problem is your acting like it's no big deal. Your mod, for the most part, goes through developing technologies seen around medieval times, yes? Why in the world is there a gimp suit then, something that people from then and their "values" would have been just as appalled by as I am. Explain this non-human.

That's easy. Because I knew the reaction of the overly-sensitive to that feature would be absolutely hysterical, and I felt like sharing a good laugh with the mod's community.
Thank you for proving me correct.
As for a 16X8 pixelated bum being immoral...dude...you need to get out more.
I spend quite a lot of time in the woods actually. And you misspelled "at" as "with" (see, humor).
P.S. Not overly sensitive, Over thinking. Your diagnosis is wrong.
I've been trolled by far better mate. Love the sig by the way :smile.gif:
1.How???
2.I'm not deceiving, therefore I'm not trying to troll I'm legitimately concerned about the new problem with the mod.
If anything you've been trolling me.
3.Thanks. Laps in judgment because of rage really.
4.You've probably come closer than anyone to breaking the love and tolerance personality and letting my Nazi one through.
I'm afraid I can't tell you on the internet the plans it was making.

The API was to be in this release (should have been in the start IMHO), notch said "Mea culpa". http://notch.tumblr.com/post/12848184253/soon
That's a big 'if'. The game is released, and you can't do that. Nuff said.

No cake for you

Lol! Yeah, the gimp suit was quite something wasn't it? Grow a sense of humor.
EDIT: For those of you who may have missed it, I believe our eloquent friend was referring to the following:
you sir have the best taste in music i have ever seen from another person :smile.gif:
and thank you for a great mod

(Btw, I do hope you realize it was a joke. Please don't ban me :tongue.gif:)
Lol! Yes, I realize
