Posted February 27, 20196 yr Hey everyone, Ive been seeing soe complaints about mojang being not the best. I need some code examples and proof of the minecraft source code as an example, i want to learn from their mistakes. Maybe I have encountered these issues modding minecraft.
March 3, 20196 yr Minecraft was initially written by someone learning Java. Plenty of early code written by Notch still exists in the game. An example is the IInventory system or the Block -> TileEntity system (There are about 3 ways of doing the same thing). IMO the class-based entity system also leaves a lot to be desired.

March 3, 20196 yr "If it ain't broke don't fix it". It works for vanilla.

Something to understand is that a lot of later code is written based on earlier code and rewriting earlier code to "fix it" can have unforseen consequences and break something completely unrelated creating a much harder to fix problem because fixing what obviously broke because of the fix might require chasing down what actually is causing the new problem somewhere in between the newly written code and what just broke. Call it a ghost in the machine problem. I imagine they could fix the earlier code, but consider that it took a year to re-code Forge with better code and less clutter and Minecraft is likely a lot more complex than Forge. I don't want to know how long that re-code would take. So, sometimes, as Cadiboo said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Edited April 10, 20196 yr by digitalNacht If you have to put a disclaimer in your signature claiming you were being nice in your posts chances are you weren't actually being nice and were likely being rather rude. Next time, actually be nice.
