From a newbie coder's point of view, Ender has an awful way of coding and refactoring some of loftar's stuff entirely in a very unnecessary way that is REALLY hard to deal with
Feels like loftar really hates custom clients and ender just sprinkles extra hate on top of that

You made havoc and you're not a professional software guy doing it on the side? Color me impressed.

I've copied 90% of the features from others and polished them however I could, I didn't write them from scratch. I never coded before this. People can probably tell by looking through my code

noone on the default client that hasn't discovered a custom client gives a shit about the "issues" you describe tho

Are you playing on vanilla or ender?

[dafels]

why are you asking me this?

makes you wonder

none of this makes sense to the statement earlier, so answer the question and explain yourself stupid

I am not a software guy, but let me attempt to explain.
Since the various custom clients are branches of the official client's code base, they'd need to build off of Ender's code changes and it'd cause a huge amount of additional work for everyone. It's like taking a plain pizza, and making the default with pineapple on it. It's great if you like pineapple, but if you prefer pepperoni with no pineapple, it's really, really, bad. Getting the pineapple off is harder than putting it on.

This might make new players get Ender's client by default, but at the expense of every other client users (and their maintainers.) There are more sensible ways to do this, like integrate installing clients as add-ons or mods in a launcher that makes getting clients accessible to new players through the default launcher experience.

The experts can correct me if I'm wrong.
