I really cannot think of anything to say that hasn't been said already. You have created a wonderful mod and have actually inspired to start modding. Keep up the good work...

What he said.

Also I feel that at least for me a lot of the suggestions are just brainstorming. It is not necessarily things that are earnestly suggested, and even if they are not the direction that you want to take the mod in they are still just ideas. As mod creator you have every right to totally ignore that sub-forum completely. If it is burning you out then I would concur with the Flying Turtles and say take a break from it. If even after trying to take a break from it, it still bugs you, then remove the cancer that is killing your fun. Push it back into a single thread and ban any new suggestion threads. I would not mind in the slightest, and I am confident that if people were faced with the choice of having a sub-forum or having you continue working on the mod, then the choice would be to support and comfort you without question.

Also I feel that things may become much more entertaining again once Notch merges the code. I feel that if you can stick with it long enough to get BTW to SMP, then a long and well deserved break from modding would be in order. Then you could play on a server with other people and that is where the creative juices really start to flow.

I agree most things have been expressed above that I wanted to say myself, so I'll try to be as succinct as possible.
So, to FlowerChild himself,
I too believe you're doing great things. I've only recently made an account but in my time of lurking I've been right here with you. Watching things change and grow. Your mod reinforced the fleeting love I had for Minecraft. I crave to build, to design, and so in my mind I'll always be a thousand times more drawn to this mod than to something like Aether. Both have their own place and direction.

So when your desire to progress the mod lessens, I urge you to believe in the you who we believe in (to reference a phrase). The irreverent, skilled, creative mod maker who brought us to this board.

Beg your pardon on the fluff but I really do mean it.

I guess there really isn't a whole lot left to say that hasn't already been said, but I wanted to add my thanks and reassurance here as well. You truly have made an epic mod, one that is unlike any other I've seen before. With such a great mod inevitably comes a large audience, and with such a large audience, there is bound to be more than a few people in it that either don't appreciate the hard work you've put into the mod or just don't understand it or its general aim. Or both. But you shouldn't let that get you down.

You don't have to read the suggestions thread at all if you don't want to, especially if it makes you feel this way. After all, it's your mod. But if there is actually something of worth posted there, a Turtle is likely to see it and pass it on to you. Isn't that what the Golden Feature Suggestions thread is for anyway?

But yeah, do whatever you need to make this fun for yourself. You're not getting paid, and so you have no obligation to work on this mod other than the obligations you have made for yourself. We owe you a lot, but you owe us nothing. If you're not enjoying yourself, don't be afraid to take a break, just like everyone else has said.

You have changed the way we play Minecraft, and you continue to do so (exploding our heads all the while), and for that, FC, I thank you most profusely.
