How many people working on Minecraft now were modders ? And how many current persons working on Minecraft are also Modders ?

The impressive part is how big modding is in minecraft despite Mojang never providing a mod interface, I don't know it may be different now but the general route for a long time was decompile the java byte code make your mod and recompile. There were a number of heroic teams that made mod interfaces out of this but a whole lot of nothing from the actual devs. I came off the quake modding scene and was a bit horrified…

And even before the source you had Quake C exposed! Quake 2 was even easier to mod.

in this same release Minecraft removed exclusive fullscreen on MacOS, i wonder why they haven't done the same on Windows & Linux - maybe people still have uses for that stuff on those operating systems? in my experience exclusive fullscreen is Awful on MacOS

> i wonder why they haven't done the same on Windows Probably because a lot of people feel like they need exclusive fullscreen for best performance and/or latency. But in reality borderless fullscreen is exactly the same when games use the DXGI flip model.

I was playing Helldivers 2 in a small borderless window in the middle of my screen last week. I use fullscreen because it always works, except when switching apps, which I just don't do when I'm exclusively playing a game. Indie games seem to have the most trouble with borderless, with offsets, taskbar still visible, etc. It seems rare for an Indie game to not use fullscreen.
