So I've been reading a few of your posts SalesKital and I thought I might clarify a few things that may have gotten a bit jumbled.

To put it simply its all about the upcoming mod api. Singleplayer just wasn't done very well when they made it and its lead to them having to spend a lot of time writing the same stuff they did in singleplayer and transferring it to multiplayer. And to make the difference even more apparent projects like modloader and bukkit are coming up which bring amazing new features and makes the gap between the single and multi seem even bigger.

The end result they are looking for is to merge all the differences in singleplayer and multiplayer. So for the time being your gonna feel a bit of a crunch while they're working out the issues.

at the end of the day its going to mean that the players get

- Better official updates (and possibly faster)
- More mods with easier installation
- Better multiplayer support
- the elimination of bukkit, modloader, forge etc and the creation of an official, all en composing minecraft mod system.

Its just a matter of waiting through the mucky development phase for that diamond called the modding API. I know I cant wait for it, but if your not into change then your better off sticking to the updates before 1.3 because if this does half of what it could its going to be a whole new world of minecraft. 1.3 = Largest update yet.

(and as a note, this is actually the death of REAL singleplayer in favor of more features and a better game for the community)
