If I was microsoft, I would overhaul minecraft mods and make it possible to write them in c# (maybe with a bridge or something). Get kids into your stack and fix an existing pain point.

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.
I'm hoping someone can chime in with more information. I don't think LexManos (Forge et al) reads HN.

#13https://github.com/docker/dockercraft/issues/3 is a wonderful bug report.

#14Do you realize what you've actually built? A way for people to "hack" by flying through 3d space into computer bricks representing server apps.
90s Hollywood thanks you.

I started writing a "bridge" inspired by a lost project that allowed writing mods in C#.
Pull requests welcome, but I'm unlikely to go back to it any time soon.

Couldn't agree more about how difficult it is to mod the game... but 1.9 definitely is not out yet.

Well Microsoft owns Minecraft. So I imagine modding will get more official support in a year. Probably a nicer API too.
Re: Dockercraft: Manage Docker containers from Minecraft
#20Mind = blown. Why not visualize code like this? Walking around in your API, watching the flow of data... :)
Or manage processes? http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/
