Yup, you misunderstood.

To be clear on the above: this in no way means the end of development of BTW. It just means no new features for the next month.

EDIT: Nevermind I derped.

As for news - one month of no new content in exchange for a major new stuff is more than fair. Though I have a feeling that setting a release date might bite you in the ass (though you are an professional and experienced game designer so who I am to doubt you).

Well, so long as you're not providing any clues on what you'll be working on for the next month; does this mean the features you put off due to the block-ID limit are being pushed back till after this new feature is done?

Most likely yes. If I want a break at some point, I may slap in the aesthetic blocks we were talking about before (Panel variants, etc.), especially since I could probably bundle that with an update to whatever new version would include the extended block IDs, but don't count on it.

Basically, we're looking at feature-freeze for the next month. Bug fixes and updates to new versions only, and if a new version proves to be the nightmare the last one was, I might not even do that part.

Scared me for a second there ;)
Can't wait to see what you come up with, and April 10th actually happens to be the day I get my mid-year exam results !
Now I won't be able to concentrate at all, I'll just be constantly speculating in my head !

Mission successful, I thought for a minute I would be playing 1.2.3 forever. (which wouldn't really be that bad)

Anyway, I'm super excited about the mysterious new content in a month! At least 30 days should give me time to get to the top of the tech tree and automated and prepared for April 10th!

Edit: It's impossible to be prepared for what comes out of flowerchilds mind.

Ohh my poor heart... FC does it again...

I just don't know what to think. The mechanical power (water wheel in particulat), pulleys and the lens were some of the most groundbreaking changes I've seen made to Minecraft and to think the latter two took only 3 days... I can't begin to imagine what is in store for the mod with a 30 day development but this may be another milestone in Minecraft modding.

Hehe...thanks man. Now that I've built up all this expectation, I will endeavor not to disappoint :)

I might be a bit late to the party but,

If the lens and platform only took a couple days to implement,
which are awesome features btw,
then 1 moth of dev. time means real big genius this time.

Additionally the op did scare me a little,
mission accomplished there I'd say.

And I might die of excitement in anticipating the 10th of April.

Well I was pleasantly mindfucked. The beginning was uncomfortable though, as I really wasn't prepared for it and the whole thing was scary and almost painful. But when you continued I found I actually started to like the whole thing and in the end the whole thing felt pleasant and left me wanting for more ;)



.... what? I was talking about the news in the OP....
Edit: forgot a question mark.

More may have been said, but in flower's visit to at least the beginning of ren's livestream last night he stated that he was going to add the challenge back to minecraft with this feature.

So there's something to chew on for a month.
