[DragonWrangler1]

I'm not mad. I'm just trying to clarify. Because your response makes me think you misunderstood what I said. The all caps words were so you didn't misunderstand what I was trying to say. And crispiebacon is just a friend of mine that was trying to help me out.

What's the point to create Mineclonia fork instead of directly developing Mineclonia? There are three fragmented small development teams instead of one bigger team - Mineclonia, VoxelForge, VoxeLibre. If the teams can work together then they probably can build very powerful minecraft like game.

[DragonWrangler1]

aapolon2000 first of all. We all have slightly different goals. Voxelibre isn't a minecraft clone anymore, MineClonia is starting to head off slightly too. VoxelForge is trying to remain a perfect MineCraft clone. Also MineClonia does things I just can't agree with.

[rstcxk]

Just curious, what is the issue with minecolonia? the only differences i see are some extra stair nodes and other nice little features that can be disabled in the settings

[DragonWrangler1]

there's nothing wrong with the game. but with some of the developers there, we don't see eye to eye.

the only differences i see are some extra stair nodes and other nice little features that can be disabled in the settings

extra stairs and a few little features are only a couple of the differences. I think that anyone who plays my game for a while and then moves to mcla will notice a difference. And with Part 2 of the next update I hope that difference will be even bigger.

With the work on the very new blog website. Now all info about new updates will be found on the github.io page Here

[Kazooo]

Wait datapacks!? So like would MC datapacks work with this?

[DragonWrangler1]

Conversion is possible, however, it’ll be easier when the next full release happens. Soon it’ll have the template pools for structures. Mainly.

Thanks to everyone who helped VoxelForge reach 1k downloads. And to celebrate the occasion, we're releasing one of our experimental features earlier than planned.

We will be starting a bi-weekly poll cycle to see what features players want the most. And since we are releasing new content on Thursdays it's only fitting that we swap out the polls on thursdays as well. First part of the cycle is one week, and it consists of greater than 2 possibilities. The second consists of the two winners of the first round, and the ultimate winner gets priority.

You can find the poll here

Optionally you can use the poll on this forum topic. At the top of the page.

Poll ends on the 19th of this month.
