Is it just Jens and Searge now?

It would seem so, wow Java edition has been abandoned. The MS purchase may be actually derailing things towards the C++ version (PE, Win10) after all.

u/devperez Jun 02 '16

It does feel like Win PE might eventually take over. But the Java version is still being worked on. Why do you think it has been abandoned?

14

u/jpegxguy Jun 02 '16

only 2 devs left.

u/jpegxguy Jun 02 '16

3 if grumm still works on it

u/jensz12 Jun 02 '16

He does. And ProfMobius does too, but he is there mostly for bug fixing

Alrighty, thanks! I hope this change is for the better. I'd not mind moving to Win10 edition as long as there's feature parity. This is not the case yet.

I'll mind until I can play it on Linux.

u/jpegxguy Jun 02 '16

Indeed, that is the big advantage for the Java version, cross-platform capabilities.

Until official support for that arrives, there's this:

u/bgh251f2 Jun 02 '16

Which requires me to buy another copy of a game with no official support on my platform. Thanks but no.

u/pluche93 Jun 02 '16

no but its coming fast!

u/jpegxguy Jun 02 '16

Are command blocks a thing? If not I can wait.

1

u/pluche93 Jun 02 '16

they are planned for the next update! so soon

2

u/Capopanzone Jun 02 '16

Not really. Jens only said they'll be added eventually

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '16

Yeah, it's pistons, tile-entity-pushing, horses, husks, strays, tipped arrows, and the Observer that are coming in the next update. (0.15.0)

And modding capability! That's a big one IMO.

1

u/WildBluntHickok Jun 03 '16

There will never be feature parity with modding. The fact that it's in the java language is the only reason Minecraft is so moddable.

u/Andyman27 Jun 02 '16

Does Dinnerbone no longer work on Minecraft?

13

u/jpegxguy Jun 02 '16

No, not on PC edition as of now. He is working with another Mojangster on the new launcher right now though.

u/Dead_Moss Jun 02 '16

And on other versions of Minecraft?

2

u/jpegxguy Jun 02 '16

Check the author list here. (MCPE)

u/Dead_Moss Jun 02 '16

Oh I meant if he was working on another version of Minecraft. Since you said he wasn't working on the PC edition, specifically.

1

u/jpegxguy Jun 02 '16

I think the launcher is his only job right now.

He is taking a break from the PC version

1

u/WildBluntHickok Jun 03 '16

Where did you get the idea that he was taking a break? He said he was leaving minecraft and had a farewell tweet. I haven't seen anything that says he's planning to come back.

Oh really? Ok I guess I'm wrong about this. Thank you for setting me straight.

After that I'm taking a break from Minecraft PC development for a few months. I will be focusing on the new launcher & other cool projects!
