Comment on Chain World: a game that exists on a unique USB flash driveparent

One question: Do the world save files all end in .dat, or do some end in .mcr?

I ask because some of my code (optimized save file format) was first included in Minecraft 1.3, but from the article it's not apparent which version Chain World is based on.

Better, can you get it to be rebroadcast on a server? I'm sure that somebody, somewhere, is gonna be sharing this as soon as they get the world folder off that thing.

I wouldn't want to share it like that. Forking the project continues the experience - albeit slightly different than originally intended. If it was uploaded somewhere for anyone to get, it would be no different than any other downloadable Minecraft world.

The cool part isn't the world - it's the legacy of everyone who's played before you.
