Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
At first, it will be very incompatible with most mods, but after the initial release, mod compatibility will be a main focus.
Its the idea of having more chunks to load. Cubic chunks will increase the amount of chunks the game has to load, but because chunks are so much smaller it balances out.
So what exactly is being done to make the mods incompatible in the first place?

Good point. I don't think we should add it to the OP now, but having a similar picture would help. Some people learn more efficiently through visual means, and I think it would help them and the cause to have a image to better understand Cubic Chunks.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Curse PremiumProbably not, unless the maker of Forge makes it compatible with CC. It would be a similar process to updating the mod to another MC version, with some extra stuff he'd need to do. We could make CC compatible with Forge, but it would be difficult since there are so many builds that it would be better if he did Forge compatible with CC.
BTW: Here is my average performance on MC with preferred settings (Normal, fast, SM off):
Standard MC: 80-100 FPS
MC w/ Optifine: 120-140 FPS
MC w/ Cubic Chunks: 180-300 FPS (Frequent lag spikes due to un-optimization of the Proof of Concept)
I am indeed working on a video btw
More community support or attention might serve to make Mojang prioritize Cubic Chunks.
It's never too late to give support to a so awesome suggestion (mainly for people that need more height for many builds, and at least 4000 blocks high to be able to built a dwarfish city and a skylands one in the same map).
But I think the heightmap system could have some issues (or I missed something): far (very far) below a skyland, there should not be any shadow... But I would prefer this than having a 256 max height.
Thank you for making the idea of Cubic Chunks what it is today. We all appreciate your hard work that you put into this topic.
Thanks for being super awesome!
This idea is even better than mine. It's better than RuneScape! It might even be better than Call of Duty!
I feel the urge to stand up and do an irish jig, that's how happy I am about this. A great topic and a great suggestion and a great explanation and a superb amount of work! My gratitude to you cannot be expressed by mere words, so I say only this: Awesome!
What are the third and fourth words in the name of this suggestion?
1.) You don't need to quote the OP at all, let alone 1.5) twice...
2.) That weird white background on your text.
3.) Did you not READ the title or the OP or the thousands of replies to this topic?

Or the big red text at the top of the post, or the entire section of the main post titled "Overall Lag Reduction"..
