I'm guessing it won't be long before we see Minecraft re-written for .NET, but this is a nice bridge.

I can't believe this. Microsoft has pulled off what Mojang seemingly didn't, couldn't, or wouldn't. Wonder what direction they'll take server mods to, or if there will be a crossover between client/server being unified.

Covered extensively here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9466761 but the main point being missed is this:

There is still no official Minecraft modding SDK. This pack is simply to provide a tool for building mods against existing, unsupported frameworks.

Single code-base for all devices and a performance boost - why not?
