    Everyone that was involved in this mod has moved on to other things. Me4502 is now a dev for a popular minecraft plugin, Vanquish just vanished, I have a life, and a few others are doing other things. If you want to know how to install the mod, refer to the wiki.

     This mod was one of the best mods ever... You just can't let it die!

    Can't you find some other group of people who want to work on this mod? I'm sure there would be people wanting to because alot of people use this mod and want a new version and since we already have the original source code of Powder Sim.

    sometimes I consider putting parts of it in my mod. Although not the elements, and that's what made this popular.

    They asked me to be part of it once, a long time ago. The only thing I did for this mod was fix the broken favorites menu and fix loop edge mode, both of which my mod already has ... i'm not sure if there's anything else in here I would like but there might be. After I did those things I decided I wanted to work by myself on my own mod because I liked that better, and I wasn't into irc at the time, which they used. I only had time to do either one or the other, and I picked my own mod instead (definitely the better choice, i'm a tpt developer now)

    This did used to be one of my favorite mods too, although there were some flaws I used to notice (I can't remember what exactly). Someone could continue it if they wanted, but don't ever expect it to be continued or ported to c++ by the original authors since they are all long gone and don't wish to continue it.

    Maybe the current modders should get together and make a Powder Sim 2

    Anyone want to do this?

    I understand that the authors are long gone and they will not update this anymore...

    That's why we could try to find people who want to work on this mod.

     That's a good idea and since we already have the source code for it, it should be a little easier.

    I don't know anything about how to write programs and stuff like that but I could help in an other way then develloping Powder Sim, in any way that could help.Source Code

    I don't think continuing the mod would be a good idea. If you look at their issues on github, they were considering rewriting it anyway. If anything, take some of the elements and port them to the c++ version, starting your own mod, but I wouldn't even try taking this and attempting to update it, it's already really outdated. It's not even current to the latest c version.
