    We're getting there!

    The current plan is to have 1.4.6 ready for you to play by the end of Sunday or Monday.

    Update Jan 13, 7:00 PM (PST, GMT -0800): Mostly works. We have to get some stuff working first, like bans, as well as fix some lag problems.

    Well thats the greatest news I've heard... since the past week.
    It is kind of obvious that it will. A lot will be changed.

    Yes.

    Also, would it be better to do Alice for 1.4.7? There are absolutely no mod-breaking changes and all 1.4.6 mods should work for 1.4.7. 1.4.7 just fixes a NullPointer Exception with arrows.

    Not at this point. I considered it but not a lot of mods explicitly state 1.4.7 compatibility and I don't want to spend time testing.

    Just to let you know, Mojang said most mods are compatible, and I myself have my own Modpack with half if not most your mods and they work just fine.

    As far as I know, it changes one line a small piece of code in one class. I think I remember seeing something said by the Forge team saying that it will break nothing at all and all mods will be compatible.

    Edit 2: Actually, just realised; since you are probably using a version of Forge for 1.4.7, it is more than likely editing the class that was updated for 1.4.7 including the fix, so the only discrepancy would be the file containing the version that actually tells Minecraft what version it is.

    If we switch to 1.4.7, everything will be pushed back a few days because I'm trying to meet some deadlines.

    All of it. The new mods changing world generation, and old mods removed have required this. However, this was already the plan.

    Unfortunately, yes. Future updates may not "force" skcraft to reset on updates like this, but generally a reset will happen every 1 or 2 major Minecraft versions if history is anything to go by to "refresh" the world.

    Yay! :D
    Will the launch likely be at daytime in the Netherlands (GMT + 1) or at nighttime? I really want to participate in the big launch :)

    Not necessarily, if you've learned things ;O

    Either way, there's still plenty of new things to play with.

    I'm not sure. It's quite a wide target to hit at the moment.

    I'm guessing not, if I remember SK was looking for good peeps to help out with that, but haven't heard of anything since.
