List Of Topics (1.6, 1.7 - outdated)

The information on this page was written for Minecraft 1.6 and 1.7.  With the changes introduced by 1.8, much of it is now obsolete especially the block and item rendering.  I'm updating for 1.8 as I work my way through the code, this page shows a list of the old information.

The most up-to-date information is here.

  1. it's really helpful for modder! It would be great if u can introduce how minecraft deal with redstones. because in internet theres really lack of those documents, also in my opinion many people still using 1.7 (some even 1.6) because those popular mods don't support 1.8, so maybe u can still update something about 1.6~1.7?

  2. Hi.
    I'll look at doing something on redstone, must admit I don't know much about it because I've never used it. But it might take me a while to get around to it. If you figure out some useful things in the meantime, please let me know..
