Oh no microsoft is gonna buy github!
Just like they bought xamarin and turned it from a buggy piece of shit into something borderline useful?
Just like they funded canonical so ubuntu could become a distro what any person can use as easily as windows because they had money to actually hire people?
Just like they bought mojang and invested billions in an education platform?
Oh boy whatever will we do...16 -
Interesting thing I did yesterday:
This is a program which loops over every word in the wamerican word database and checks if the username is available on the Mojang servers, thus, this is a Minecraft OG username finder, and it works beautifully.
I'm checking 72,000 words, the only thing is I can only check one per second, so the entire process takes about 20 hours. Any usernames which are available are sent into a text file for later viewing, and it remembers which word it looked at last if you can't have your computer on for 20 hours straight.
Very happy! Found quite a few good names so far!14 -
I bought Minecraft back in 2007 or 8. It was $20 and gave me access to Minecraft forever, all updates included.
Today Microsoft closed all the old mojang accounts and I no longer have access to Minecraft. I could have migrated to a Microsoft account, but it will be a cold day in hell if I ever open one of those.
Sounds like law suit material. Class action anyone?13 -
Mojang released the minecraft official launcher for Gnu/linux, and they fucking have an Arch package! That’s right motherfuckers: AN ARCH PACKAGE!5

So Minecraft Dunegons launched today.
Not my style of game, but I did purchase hero edition because fuck, the price is LOW given the IP attached and the fact that it was developed by Mojang. $20 for the full game and $30 for full game + extras? Incredibly refreshing in a market where $60 is standard for full game, and up to $75-80 for extras (like "I paid too much money" skins and such. I got a chicken pet and promise of two upcoming DLC with my extra $10)
Anyways I was happy with the price of a game for once and wanted to share!4 -
I really liked the Mojang API. I've told this story before but my first real project was a Python script that ran through all of the words in the dictionary looking for "OG" names that were available

I've though about this off and on but we all know 1st and 3rd party companies. What about 2nd companies though? I mean think about it Apple is the first party company and Mojang is the third party company. What about the second company though? I know I know I just could look it up on Google but eh!3

devCraft { post-content:
so, im in school, and not really able to play on, or even help maintain the devCraft server, guys; on top of that, it looks like multimc itself is having connection issues with the mojang auth servers, which the devs said might just be our firewalls or something. whatever it is, the multimc instance is likely gonna give you all trouble, and i would just get the modpack or the custom launcher.
updated info here: https://github.com/parkcitymedia/...
that's all
