For those of you who dabble in Minecraft mod development (good on you by the way), bad news is you're going to have to wait a little longer for the official mod API. It's been confirmed that the API will not be included in the next big release - version 1.3.
According to Mojang and the ex Bukkit team, the mod API is currently scheduled along with Minecraft 1.4. As you probably know, the new API will provide developers with an official platform for creating and publishing their mods for Minecraft. It'll save players the hassle of downloading additional tools (such as ModLoader) to make those mods work. An API would also mean that Minecraft administrators could update to the latest version of Minecraft with a reduced risk of incompatible mods.
Until Minecraft 1.3 is released, you can expect to see more of the regular snapshots (which we'll have download links for). Unfortunately for developers, you're going to have to test and adjust your mods to fit in with the new changes in the meantime.
A reasonable estimate for the release date for the mod API will be around June/July.
It does say probably, they may be able to squeeze it in to 1.3, but it is doubtful, they will give a great big feature that everyone will hate in 12w20a, don't worry. I personally love every update since I have been playing, I have been playing since 1.7-.1,7.3(dunno exactly when), and the only think I didn't like, was the hunger bar/new food.
I have grown to like it however, and all the features added in 1.8 made up for it.
I played a backup of 1.7.3 and killed some pigmen and almost cried at the easy to kill mobs and old food.
I loved it, but it was too easy, it was better to get the food bar.

Yep, Jeb did that. Or you could say he made a commitment he couldn't keep. You don't trust Mojang's employees? Fine, be that way. You're still wrong, and there's plenty of precedent for this. Jeb said pistons would be in 1.6. They weren't in until 1.7

No, it won't be in 1.3. Trust me on this, Dinnerbone works for Mojang. You wanna confirm it for yourself, go to the #risucraft IRC on irc.esper.net using an IRC Client.
Did I say Dinnerbone didn't work at mojang?
I said that they may be able to squeeze it in, doesn't mean they will.
I don't mind if it takes until 1.4, or 1.5, but mojang as a whole doesn't know for sure. They still don't have a release date for 1.3, they are just worrying about the singleplayer/multiplayer thing. Which is fine by me. They are getting rid of more and more bugs, making the code simpler.

It will most likely be out, like with movies, they are made years before ppl even talk about them somethimes, thats probably how it is with the API, they've probably been working on it a a secret treat, but with this EVERYONE has been talking about it XD
Wait, so we get the bad "Single player is multiplayer "bit, but no mods?
I'm pretty sure the singleplayer and multiplayer merge is in preparation for the mod api. (No more mods that are compatible with one mode, but not the other.)
I dont care how long it takes to update minecraft to 1.3, they need the mod api with it or mods wont work and everyone will complain about it and have to keep there 1.2.5 jar files and not update.
Considering that Minecraft 1.3 comes out in a few weeks, i know for sure that the Modding API will not be in Minecraft 1.3, unless there is something that Mojang isn't telling us.

I don't think that's true. Maybe it is, but I'm not sure.Never mind, there is proof.

It's official, for those of you who don't know, Dinnerbone is a former Bukkit Dev now working for Mojang
Also, my money is on it subsequently being put off to 1.5. They've been putting it off since Alpha, what's a few more years!

Because some things aren't working out as planned, apparently.

I don't mind waiting another 6 months for it, the longer we wait, the more time they have to add stuff/tweak it.
