On The Importance Of Minecraft Journalism | Just Enough Opinions #28 feat. @EnderDevelopment
Just Enough OpinionsShow Notes
This week, the gang meets Enderman - the maintainer of the Second Cup newsletter, and a 1.12.2 advocate. Learn their takes on modded journalism, the benefits of staying on such an old version, how they got their name, what questions he has for us and why modern versions might just be an energy drink.

More from Just Enough Opinions
Today on the cast, along with the crew, is BluSpring! The developer of the (in?)famous mod Kilt - a "translation layer" between Fabric and (Neo)Forge, allowing you to run mods meant for the latter on instances that use the former. Learn how he did that, why it's not actually a translation layer, what other mod of his is actually about translating things, why he despises NeoForge, how he feels about Sinytra Connector, why he enjoys porting, and more! Now with 100% more blue!
In spite of the lack of topics to discuss, the crew must continue on with the show. Watch them discuss malware spread through modded Minecraft, the submissions for the Big Autumn Packjam, their favorite file format for configs, and much more, not without some off-topic bantering. My opinions? Just enough'ed.
This episode, Siuol, Frog, G_cat and their new camera operator Don express their feelings on the newly broadcasted Minecraft Live, focusing especially on the new Sift dimension. Along with that, hear Siuol's thoughts on the new CurseForge Servers revenue split, Frog's take on how you properly design quests, and G_cat is just kinda there I guess. With Deepa or without, the show must go on.
This time on the cast, the crew get wd on - the creator of the popular fishing mod Starcatcher! Listen to the story behind Starcatcher's creation, what they are planning for their next project, their opinions on Twitch streaming and vanilla advancements, as well as them ragebaiting Siuol with the SPICIEST of takes - all that and more!
In preparation for the Big Autumn Packjam, Siuol, Frog and G_cat gather once more to discuss things related to the jam, but also a couple of other things like the Chinese blanketcon, storage mods, the value of datapacks and a couple of other things. Short and sweet.
