Recent commentsNew life of MC
Development of official version of MC seems to go wrong way: very small number of new features, releases are very rare (more than a year between new releases!). MC-MP seems to be new life and new chance for MC: "release early, release often", many new really useful features.
Nice job with the colors
I upx'd it, and it is less than 270k. :-)
