hey guys, theMightyWaffle here with another interview. this time, i interviewed Silvania Studois.

1. Whats it like being a super-awesome modder?
I probably wouldn't call myself super-awesome just yet :P I'm rising up
the ranks on PMC, but outside of this site I'm still a nobody in the
world of Forge.

2. Is modding easy for you? Do you enjoy it?
Modding isn't something you can call easy or hard, it really depends on what
you are doing. Things like the FlenixCities ATM and Shops were both
quite a challenge, but its the challenge I enjoy.

3. If you could give a person who is trying to make mods advice, what would you say?
Come up with an original idea. Don't make SkyrimCraft, don't make MOAR
TOOLZ, do something new and unique that noone else is doing.

4. Was it easy learning java and such? How long did it take for you to master it?
I actually didn't start learning Java until I started modding. I was
playing my server one day, driving a Flan's car around and decided it
needed a proper road to drive it on. I briefly tried one of those mod
creation programs, then decided it's probably not that hard to make a
few blocks. Did that fine, started playing with models and I was off.

5. If you could hang out with your favourite modder that isnt you for a day, who would it be? What would you say?
Afforess,certainly. Most of you probably don't know/remember him - he created
"Minecart Mania" back in early beta, and later went on to create Spout.
He's
just an awesome guy, I've always looked up to him. He actually dropped
on my server once for about 5 minutes when we used Spoutcraft which was
cool.

6. Why do you create mods? What keeps you going?
Personal use. I only really release the mods so I can see other people doing
cool things with them, which inspires me and gives me ideas of what to
do next.

7. What would you say to Notch if you met him?
I'd ask him why he originally changed the EULA to stop us "doing what we
like" with content we make. Back in the day I could charge for my mods
if I wanted to, and I see no reason (legally speaking) why we can't do
that now. It's not going to damage mojang in any way...

8. How did you create the name "Silvania Studios"?
It was when my friend (Thug319) and I created our first survival server,
back in Alpha. He just decided the server was called Silvania, and I'm
not good with names so agreed to it.
He left early in beta, but we
kept the name, as Silvania Minecraft Server. Over time, I started
playing with things that weren't Minecraft and toying with the idea of
making my own games, so switched over to Silvania Studios.

Thanks for reading this guys, and a big thanks to Flenix, for letting me interview him.
