SGA in Minecraft 1.9

Post by DSL »

Check out the new Enhancement Table feature that will appear in the new 1.9 update for Minecraft!

Well played internets, you are good. (3)
These names will be random and confusing. (7)
Each spell costs experience levels. (15)"

I dunno if they will stick to SGA for this feature in future versions (must be some IP rights involved no?) Anyway it made me happy to see that someone at Mojang is (probably) a Keen fan!

Doesn't really infringe on IP. It's no worse than a Dopefish reference. :dopefish

Tom Hall thought it was neat, and I do too.

I'm flipping out like crazy if this is not a mod but actually what appears in the game.
Wow look at me I'm lurking

Enchantment Table Interface (with SGA)
So yeah, if it's not removed, then I assume it will be in the game.

Or this guy found it by searching on google without knowing it's from Commander Keen. The sad part is that now millions would see it and they wouldn't know that it's origins are from Keen...

Uh.
First of all, Mojang is a really small company. I'm pretty sure Notch implemented this, and Notch definitely knows about Keen.

As for the people who'd see it and not know it from Keen, I say eh. If I can live with people quoting old overused Internet memes after they appear on Family Guy, I can live with any flow-on effects of this.

Notch and Tom Hall are definitely acquainted, and in fact Tom tweeted this very picture with the caption, "Now the circle is complete."
