Forge: It's time to say...

[LexManos]

1.8.1 compared to 1.8 in reality is nothing, no value to the end user/modder.

Once 1.8 Forge gets fully released {Im hoping to do it after I get back from Con at the end of the month, but it depends on you guys, and fry} I plan on updating to 1.8.1 just as a formality.

It has a huge value for end users because it fixes tons of (really annoying) bugs.

Nice to hear that Forge 1.8.1 is coming!

YAY! But if block rendering method changes to a model, how are custom blocks renderers and textures gonna be handled?

I mean, ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler won't exist anymore, what will replace it (Sorry, i'm a bit curious and maybe didn't express well (also for my bad english (Since ur probably never gonna read this far(Ur avatar looks like bewbs (Please don't ban me )))))

Models replace ISBRH.

hi Lex,

 

I've only a question: Will be 1.8.1 forge vers retro-compatible with 1.8?

 

I ask you this because currently I'm developing very hard on 1.8 but as you know that MC vers is full of bugs and I'm developing in perspective on later more stable versions (aka 1.8.1).

 

Anyway thank you so much for your effort on this.

it probably will, since 1.8.1 was mostly a bugfix release.

 

that said, 1.8.2 is probably going to be released sometime soon, if it's not too long from now 1.8.1 might even get skipped or something.

I am already using forge 1.8 with 1.8.1 minecraft version and it seems to work fine. But still looking forward to an actual release of forge 1.8.1. Thanks

Fry has finally finished up the ModelLoader registry, 1.8 is officially released.

Get to going!

 

 

Once the first wave of bugs are fixed and 1.8.2 is officially released by Mojang, we'll update to 1.8.2.
