Warning: Minecraft Ahead

If you've been following me for awhile, you might be aware that I'm something of a Minecraft addict. There's just something very restful about the game -- maybe because it's a good visual/tactile distraction for me while listening to podcasts and such-like.

The trouble is, I don't much like vanilla Minecraft. It's much too grindy for my tastes. So I play it with mods.

Two years ago, Mojang dropped a MASSIVE update that made huge changes to the under-the-hood stuff, such that mod-makers had to reconfigure their mods from the ground up to make them compatible. The changes were so big that some of the biggest and most popular mods are only NOW getting their updates out. Only was yesterday that my personal favorite -- the Thermal Expansion series -- dropped the Beta for its mods.

But now it's out.

So, um, I might have harder time meeting my commitments around here for the next few days. Or weeks. Or months ...
