Dockercraft: Manage Docker containers from Minecraft

This was pretty cool. I think folks really need to watch the demo in the closing video when it gets published. I think the most catchy sentence in the demo was “you can finally show your kids what is this containers thing you are working on”. :)

Prior work: http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/ :)

With enough games and enough time we could have a real interesting set of game-based tooling :)

Mind = blown. Why not visualize code like this? Walking around in your API, watching the flow of data... :)

This is probably offtopic, but the state of Minecraft modding is really bad

* One dude is maintaining Forge/MinecraftCodersPack/Fernflower, which powers pretty much every mod

* Ad-infested forums and adfly links are the preferred way of distributing mods

* The last moddable client version is 1.8.0, 1.9 is out.

* Getting a mod started is really difficult, and it's not clear what should/shouldn't be in source control.

Props to the author for finding a way around all of this.

Conceptually, this is way ahead of its time.

I think we can forgive an off topic comment in a thread about administering infrastructure from within a video game. HN isn't that pedantic yet.
