  • I entered the world of Java a few years ago, there were already memes about eclipse back then, so I was prepared to prefer Intellij.

    I tried both. Intellij is much more polished, it had some annoying bugs too, but the selling point for me was that eclipse was (is) really good at syncing every change directly to wildfly. This is a huge timesaver. The maven to eclipse plugin I think?

    I’ve tried with jrebel but it’s not as quick and reliable as with eclipse.

    I am fully prepared for a solution where Intellij is better so please let me know, but no one in our organisation (which has about 50 devs) has found it.









  • Project Phoenix: Rebirth

    According to their page on curseforge:

    After 3 year of waiting for a sequel to the beloved Project Ozone 3 a small group of fans of the trilogy have come together to create what we would want to see in a Project Ozone 4.

    Until now it has been a fun experience. I think it is made for more experienced modded players as the explanations are often very short and don’t give hints on how to get there, but the order of the quests is good so everything works and sometimes I need to read the manual for a modpack to see how it actually works but that’s ok.

    Before this I spent a week in Encrypted_, it’s very different which was fun but I was often very lost in searching for the right steps. At some point you need some resource and I had no clue how to get there except for searching through JEI-recipes for 20 minutes. I found a tip on their discord “use beetroots for iron” and that was great, but it was not something I would have found on my own except maybe with some pure luck. The make of the modpack is new to the scene I think, so I am following him for more modpacks because he invests in a story behind the modpack which is great.






  • Everyone is making jokes but the thought has occurred to me: Yes, we have an organisation in place that is ready to replace him. But, from what I understand, he IS the benevolent dictator, and he has used his power a few times to stop some changes that otherwise would be in the kernel right now. And I think that’s a good thing.




  • Interesting.

    As a Dev I understand some of those words but with no experience in Minecraft modding I cannot add much to the discussion.

    I am wondering why the mixins framework is not releasing new versions. It’s not abandoned but there are PRs that are from 2021 and no activity? There’s a story there.

    (I have also been looking forward to how the differences between Forge and Neoforge will work out).
