* Again, if you weren’t ware, the “modding api” is the entire source code for Minecraft, uncensored and unobfuscated. You need to agree to certain terms to get access, though, but anyone can apply.

An API is an interface, aka its a thing that lets you communicate with something. Its not the entire source code to the game. Releasing the source to people who agree to things will not help mods out. They already have the source code to minecraft... thats how they are modding it.

They need an API which doesn't change (Much) during each update so that there mods will not have to be modified each time Minecraft is updated, not things they already have.

Notch has not got a clue... I should have known he would screw it up.
