API Questions:

• When will the Mod API be released?

The API will be going live with the 1.5, which has a tenative release date of January, 2013.

• Will mods have the ability to modify text?

Mods can have config files that, when initialized, will be able to dynamically print text in a variety of ways.

• Will mods like Optifine (which modify the engine directly) be supported?

The API will eliminate the need to write to the engine directly, allowing modifications that affect the game (as any mod will), without altering the game code itself. Among other things, this will greatly simplify mod installation.

• Can vanilla block behavior be modified?

Yes.

• Will there be official community resources (tutorials, forums, etc) for modders?

Yes.

• How will mods be distributed by modders, and downloaded by players?

Players will be able to download mods from the game client itself.

• Will the API be able to add new mobs to the game through mods?

Yes. Additionally, it will be possible to modify animated blocks (water, lava) as well as custom animated blocks.

• Will the API be like Bukkit (an outside resource)?

No, the API will be integrated into the vanilla game, hopefully bypassing the need for exernal APIs.

• Will client-only mods be supported by the API?

Not at this time, but as the biggest client-only modifications are already covered (texture packs, splash screen text etc), it didn't seem necessary.

• Will the API remove the issue of mods being rendered inoperable when the game updates?

It is a target we want to hit for certain, but it won't really have that capability at launch, we don't believe.

• Will mods need to be re-written from the ground up with the API's release?

While mods will need to be changed to accommodate the API, total overhauls shouldn't be necessary. Even if a mod requires an overhaul for the API, it would only be a one-time occurrance.

• Will there be any sort of content filter?

By and large, the community will police its own mods as it does now, but we are working to put a system in place to prevent malicious mods from being distributed.

• What can be modified in the game using the API?

Everything.

• Can the phsyics be modded?

Yes.

• Will the API be on the XBOX or Pocket Edition?

Not by us, but you can ask the developers of each game, respectively.

Can someone explain this /res business to me? I don't really get it.

So, you have a place you want to res. Make a wooden axe, then right click the top corner of the place you want to res, then do a left click on the other side bottom corner. It should say "Secondary point selected" and "primary point selected" or something like that. Once you have the two blocks marked, do /res create . Once you've made it, you just do /res tp and voila! You can also change where you teleport by doing /res tpset. There are other perms, but I don't use them.

Wow, those are the most insane Minecraft creations I've ever seen.

[Super_Dork_42]

Yeah, I Redd about those buildings. They are awesome. Here is where to download the world for yourself. By the way, a girl did that.

Everything I've ever done is now insignificant.

Why do you have to res an area if you're only gonna tp to a single spot.

[Weretigr]

Why do you have to res an area if you're only gonna tp to a single spot.

Everything in that area is protected to you, so other people can't break stuff, build in there, steal things etc. You can tweak each individual "flag" too, which I'd recommend doing if you want to use pistons or have water flow when you place it.

Look up the Residence plugin online for more documents.

Everything you've ever done was always insignificant.

Thanks Dayne and Mags. Though I guess it doesn't really matter to me that much seeing as my house is in Mags' town and that already has a res.

[SnipySev]

Yeah, I Redd about those buildings.

I see what you did there

EDIT:

According to Dinnerbone's twitter, they didn't say the Mod API was going to get released in update 1.5. People made that up.


Anyway, here's a cool lock system if you're playing on a server with no residence protection plugin:

has anyone white listed / given permissions to Tj yet?

[Weretigr]

But you said that would be an alternative for servers that DON'T have the res plugin ;P

Assuming his username is tjaldex225, he has been whitelisted and promoted to "user" now.
