Basalt cobblestone can't even make bricks.

Indeed.

That'd be because it has to be the actual stone block, same as every other kind of brick.

Yeah, no, asking more mods to have the "subtypes" is a fair request.  RedPower, however, is the worst example, because it is one of the best mods in that regard.

Newest patch : levers no longer work in my savegame. Hey, want to teleport back over that water and access the rest of the dungeon? Tough shit!

Every patch, Gaslamp, every single patch it's something. At least I can just sit on my savegame until it's eventually sorted.

Or start a new save.  Have you ever tried to keep backwards compatibility in something that's so highly randomized?  Shit is hard to accomplish.

You know, like setting up a company, designing other games, having an office space assembled for months for some reason and hiring new employees.

I hate to be this contradictory, but the idea that any of that "kept him too busy to work on Minecraft" is complete and utter bullshit.
The popularity went to his head, and he got lazy.

And yeah, he is incredibly skilled at churning out content under pressure. Keeping with a project doesn't seem like something he has had a lot of experience with.

No, he's not.  See every update he's promised ever.  He waits until the last minute and does as little of the originally-promised content as he can get away with, throwing the rest under the rug.
He's good at speed-writing, but that doesn't mean he can churn out content.

(Side-note: Mojang, a new company?  Bullshit.  It existed nine years ago.  Notch was just as lazy then as he is now.  He left his spot on Wurm Online because it got into a very similar state as Minecraft is now.)

Sometimes I wonder how people are so blinded as to his nature.  He doesn't make any attempts to hide it.

Gueessss what this post meeaaans!

Shoo-bee-dooooooo~~~

EDIT: Minor rollback, griefer caught and banned.
Protip: If you're going to grief, make sure you're not THE ONLY PLAYER WHO HAS BEEN ONLINE SINCE THE LAST REFERENCE FRAME.

AMD processors are slow, I have a new high end AMD CPU, and my friend has a faster intel CPU despite having it being 4 years older. But I have not threaded the rendering, if I did it would probably be much faster.

Erm, I do hope those are separate statements.
If you thread it, the Intel chip will gain just as much, if not MORE of a benefit.

I don't mean to turn this into processor wars or anything, but AMD hasn't been making any claims of comparable performance recently, and for good reason -- the chips just plain don't compete right now.

What part of 'doesn't need to be installed' is so hard to understand?

Ah.  Playing in the browser.  Yes, we seem to have a collective blind spot there.

I guess it's the fact that he wants to mod the game.  And seemed to know how to do it.

Attn Johnfalcon99977: It is a flat-out requirement that, to mod Minecraft, you have to be playing it using the standalone launcher, not inside a browser.

If you're playing the browser version, and you try to mod it, it will indeed "flips the fuck out and crashes."  And there's nothing you can do about it.  There's nothing we can do about it either.

Sorry, I guess.

There is literally no instance that the game should be capable of being launched in the browser but not in a portable version of the standalone launcher.
There's pretty much no difference at all between them, apart from the window location of the launched applet.

Blowing seems like a really bad idea. Perhaps making your vacuum cleaner become close friends with your laptop will work?

Even worse idea, unless you're using a long hose.

Vacuums emit HUGE pulses of electromagnetism, which are VERY VERY bad for hard drives and the like.
