Evil Minecraft


Evil Minecraft is a mod in development that will eventually be a total conversion of Minecraft into a completely new experience for players. We hope to add many features, most of which we aren't going to be announcing quite yet.
    • Holy !@#%, an article! By: Evil Notch on 8:45 PM EDT / May 15, 2012

    I really need to write more articles, don't I?

    Since the last article, a small recap of what's gone on:

    I want to keep this article fairly brief, so here's a quick explanation of what's going on right now:

    • More bugfixes.
    • Patches for various mods are being created(Optifine among others)
    • Some features for v0.7 are being worked on(No, we won't tell you what, yet!)
    • An EvilMinecraft launcher is being created

    Tomorrow, a much longer article will be created, going over in detail some of the things we're working on implementing! Until then, I leave you with an image.

    Oh you, community. By: Evil Notch on 11:29 pm 03/09/12

    So, we're continuing development, at least for now. Why? Well, after receiving tons of tweets, messages, and e-mails from people telling me to continue it combined with Dinnerbone(Bukkit dev/Mojang dev) trying to convince me to continue development as well, we've decided to continue development at least to the point where we get v0.666 out.

    Expect it 'soon'.

    I thought - and hoped - that I would never be making this article. Today is the day development on EvilMinecraft halts. Not because it's complete, not because we just don't feel like working on it anymore, but because Mojang's shown they aren't caring for a large portion of the community. Over the last six months, my wishes to leave the Minecraft community which I've been a part of since May 2009 have simply come to the surface more and more.


    It became really apparent that Mojang stopped caring for Minecraft the day that Notch said he wasn't working on it anymore. Markus' spirit was the driving force behind Minecraft, and without it things have just lost any 'edge' they've had. Personally, I feel a bit annoyed with some things Mojang has done(adding jungles 'coincidentally' a week after we said we were making them and released pictures, not to mention other similar 'coincidences'), and while I see why they brought Bukkit on board - I don't feel our team can work to the best of their abilities with code the Bukkit team produces. Bukkit's code is very sloppy, and their team's coding habits combined with Minecraft's code(which isn't very pretty either) is just something our team can't deal with(I do not mean any offense with this - people simply have different coding habitis).


    I was really looking forward to releasing the mod for 1.2 in a few weeks, but this won't be happening. Unless something can convince us otherwise - this is the end for EvilMinecraft. I, personally, have seen this community change in the last two and a half years. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but I've always stuck with it and tried to ride out the hard times. This time that isn't the case.


    Everyone on our team thanks you for your continued support, we simply wish Mojang showed the same support for their own community. Looking to the future, some of our team will be joining mine(Miclee) and Shadow386's company, Adanac Entertainment(http://www.adanac-entertainment.com/), to work on an upcoming unannounced game. Look forward to details on that soon.

    Generically named update on our status! By: Evil Notch on 2:52 pm 01/10/12

    So today I found myself writing this post. I'm unsure what it'll contain as I write these words, but by the end of the post I'm sure it will be clear.

    Stuff!

    Recently we've got quite a lot of stuff done and in the works. This includes updating all the old features(and digging up some of their sources), as well as adding a billion new ones! The first thing I'll show to you is some of the mobs that are being updated or having new versions of them added.

    We also have updates to various biomes in the works, along with an entirely new JUNGLE biome!

    We've got various other additions made and in the works. Also some random diamond monster that will shoot diamond shards at you(believe me, it will be deadly): http://i.imgur.com/mdUMn.png

    EvilMinecraft Subreddit

    Supposedly Redditors don't know how to follow Rediquette(http://www.reddit.com/help/reddiquette) which clearly states not to complain about too many stories about a single topic, but we've listened to them anyways. We've gone ahead and made a /r/EvilMinecraft(link here: http://reddit.evil-minecraft.net/) for you fans to post stuff on or for us to post regular updates too. We'll still be posting some stuff to /r/Minecraft, though, as that's one way to acquire new fans.

    Anyways, there's what I wanted to write about(or so I think).

    Oh look, a blog post. By: Evil Notch on 12:18 pm 12/18/11

    It's been a while since I wrote a post on here, and I apologize! I'll do it more often. As you can see quite clearly, EvilMinecraft is not yet updated for 1.0.0! This is due to a couple of reasons. Those being that the team has split up a bit(many people just aren't interested in modding Minecraft that much, or are simply too busy to do so) and the fact we're all incredibly busy(I now run a bunch of Youtube channels).

    The fact the team has split up most definitely hurts development. For one, it leaves us with less developers. Second, it means we've lost some of the source files for the mod. We're trying to collect them all up and Shadow386 is doing his best to get what we can updated.

    We'll try to get as many of the old features together as possible, while also creating new features. We're going to need more java programmers, so if you know how to mod Minecraft at all(even just the basics), shoot an e-mail to [email protected] I'm going to be restructuring our entire 'ideas' list today and I'll be making it publicly available as well.

    I know you all want this to get back on track, as do I, so let's make it happen. ;)

    Looking for more people! By: Evil Notch on 1:05 pm 10/23/11

    While I await the people to be chosen for the texturer and modeller roles, I thought I'd go ahead and post this now.

    Java Programmers

    This involes coding the many things being added in the mod. Includes mobs, items, blocks, new systems, etc. You'll have a bit of freedom in this role, but must also be able to try to meet some deadlines(not very strict, though).

    Requirements:

    • Know Java
    • Be familiar with modding Minecraft.

    Preferred:

    • Provide examples of Minecraft mods you have created or worked on.

    If you would like to apply for the position, send an e-mail to [email protected] with the subject as 'Java Programmer'.
