Looks like codewarrior has called it quits on his awesome MCedit mod. No more updates and he's debating about whether or not to release the source code. I hope he does but that doesn't mean its going to be updated for MC 1.2. OBTW, new map format for minecraft is coming that will increase the map height from 128 to 256. Great news for us but since MCedit is finished, whats the point. There is no way to import, let alone export, schematics without MCedit.

Best get your builds imported and exported while you can. After the v1.2 update for minecraft you won't be able to import these builds into your new worlds. The map format is changing and the maker of MCedit has called it quits. So while the map height is increased to 256 from 128, there won't be any way to export, let alone, import schematics into the new maps.

I honestly believe that without MCedit a lot of minecraft players are going to be bailing. I bet it will seriously hurt this site and others devoted to the sharing of schematic files and worlds saves. (no worlds saves so much but definitely schematics.)

Sure it sucks a bit but I have never used MCEdit and haven't needed to. It isn't also necessarily true that you won't be able to import schematics into new worlds.

NNOOO!!!! I can't make my giant trees for my custom terrain series! This is a disaster! Someone NEEDS to make a Un-Offical version but atleast we still have WE (World Edit) It does the same things but In-Game but I can't make giant trees with that! This SUCKS!

Ya, true, but for those of use who rely upon it, this is an unmitigated disaster for us.

I can't even go into how much I rely upon this tool to move things around, clone, edit, and modify the builds I work on. Its like losing the use of both your arms, eyes, and nose all at the same time. It truly sucks!

maybe we could strap the MCEdit creator into a chair and demand that he either release the source code or continue it

I've never really used MCedit other than for Mob Spawners... Than I found Spawner GUI

OOOOOO NOOOOO! Wait, i dont use that.

It will be hard to copy 1200 by 100 blocks islands now for me...

I heard on MM that if he raises $10,000 he will release the source code e_o

[SoulStealer]

His asking for 10k to release a source code.

That's way too much to ask in my opinion.



^^ More info about it there.

About at the 1:30 mark he talks about MCEdit and codewarrior.

HE has posted that he has changed his mind about asking 10k for the source code. TO his credit, he has offered to release it for future development. But still this is a tragic loss for the community.
