I did a quick search on some of the things that you mentioned, and I can't seem to find ANY evidence that supports anything you're saying. Several people from the Mojang team have stated on twitter that nothing has changed. Taking over a non open sourced mod without the author's permission is despicable enough, but to go as far as lying about EULA changes to justify your actions? Unless you can provide some sort of proof that any of what you're saying is true, please don't try to "Take it over". If you'd like to do some actual research on the topic, start by reading THIS and work your way to other official articles from there.

Source this. No, a YouTube video showing some random guy's OPINION of what the buy means isnt at all a source of information that you should base such bold claims off of (By the way, that video only had 200 views, lol...). You sit there and spout nonsense without any links or sources to back what you say up, the point of which is to try and claim an artists work? Do us all a favor and quit spreading rumors that can tear the community apart more than it already is...

Exactly why I'm not updating this mod, because of the blatant nescient who are surrounding it. And that video held 1 peice of specific information on it. That I was trying to show one line of comment towards..

Just like someone like you to say all my information comes from 1 source, PS. people like me, don't show our sources after a while because of the ignorant claims blatant hearing and false accusations all of you guys make. You would just change what I said or just say it doesn't mean anything, because you merely lack the capability to understand failure, but

[ANNOUNCER VOICE]

TO ALL IN THIS COMMENT SECTION! I SHALL NOT FOLLOW THE PATH OF THE MC USER BEFORE THEE, AND LEAVE THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE HE THROWS MORE LIES INTO THIS PIT!

[BREAKING THE ICE AGAINST NESCIENT] we just have in, that the logical meaning to this conversation is to simply imply that Microsoft now owns all rights and everything/anything they want can be done to minecraft! But they also said

"At the time, Spencer explained that Microsoft must first "meet the needs" of the existing Minecraft community before the company expands the franchise."

Yet microsoft doesn't want mod makers and coders earn $$

Peace and !XDX OUT!

And all of that ranting you just did still beats around the bush. If you REALLY need me to simplify it for you, I will.

1. You were trying to "continue" someone's mod without permission on the grounds of "I can do whatever I want now that Microsoft owns Mojang"
2. You not only make baseless statements without any sort of proof, but you're participating in the spreading of damaging false rumors.
3. Do you realize that if you had actually gone through with stealing this mod, that others would be encouraged to follow in your footsteps? Do you realize what kind of ****-storm would result from people trying to "take over" mods left and right?

To clarify some information for you, for the minecraft 1.6 update Silentine had some trouble updating his mod as well and someone made an unofficial update until silentine was able to update then, he deleted the unofficial version. Silentine had no qualms nor issues with it. In fact, that unofficial port actually helped him speed up the update process.

Picking up a mod is no issue as long as it is done respectully and honoring the original creator, also you must stop the development when the original author gets back. Also you must NOT claim it as yours.



I'm not gonna namedrop but i have the private messages...

How do I get this mod to work in ExtraBiomesXL? I've thrown in CustomMobSpawner and also tried it with JustAnotherSpawner and I can't seem to get the mobs to spawn in non-vanilla biomes.

Hey, are you still having problems with grimoire of gaia + extrabiomes? I was able to get it to work using Mob Spawn Controls 2:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1290704-mob-spawn-controls-2-back-better-than-ever-updated

It is a really cool and configurable mob spawn control system with a decent gui. Shoot me a message if you want and I can send you the config that took hours to set up to make the creatures spawn in the proper biomes and such.

which one?

Update:


I apologize for my absence from the modding scene in the past few months. I have finally gathered the courage to finally address the issue about the future of this mod.

I will get to the point; why have I not updated the mod yet despite a length of time that has already passed? I recently spent a long amount of time to study for a board exam that was set at the end of October (Spoiler: I failed). However this is not the primary cause for the lack of updates; it is that I have not been playing Minecraft since the 1.7.x update and beyond.

I cannot find the motivation to update a mod for a game I do not currently play. I also fear that I may have forgotten a good deal of knowledge on how to code in Java. And the recent change in the policy of wikispaces no longer freely hosts none educational wikis meaning I need to rework all the information again.

The amount of time and work I would need to update the mod is staggering. The last update took me 3 weeks straight to update, let alone this update could take me months including relearning java, relearning how to mod in Minecraft and a new wiki. Sadly I currently do not have the amount of free time I had in the past.



What is next?

I cannot find the will to let go of the mod. I feel like I have sense of responsibility to work on an update after stating so previously. But at the same time I do not want to continue to drag it on and disappoint, especially with people who have waited ages for an update. Such a conundrum I am in.

One may suggest leaving the mod in the hands of another modder. Thing is I do not know anyone outside this thread nor in Minecraft itself who I can trust with such a responsibility. Not just trust or responsibility, I literally do not talk to anyone on the forum nor do I play with anyone in Minecraft. Not that I do not want to, I lack the capability to do so.

Social awkwardness aside, something inspired me today to finally set time to work on the mod. I might set up a schedule, maybe once or twice a week I will put effort into releasing a 1.7.x update. The process may be slow, but at least some progress will be made towards an update. Maybe if I have had enough or have realized I simply cannot release an update I will release the source and let the community itself update it, if they choose to. But until I have not tried to release an update, I will not give up just yet.



I will end it here. I do not want to end up with a "wall of text". I can go on and on but all that matters is "when is there going be an update", not "why is there no update".
