Sorry to hear this man. You really have done a good job with ZS, even if not everyone liked it. I personally appreciate all the work you've done for the gamemode and the community in general.
That's because 1 block travelled in the Nether is equivalent to 6 blocks in the real world. I haven't even been to the Nether yet, I need to find one more diamond so I can mine some Obsidian.
Well there's no whole system with a name but there are waterblocks, pumps and radiators with names. However, Chiken has an asus pc (I think) so most of the parts will be proprietary asus branded parts anyway.
tbh anything above 24fps is wasted energy. Films run at 24fps and nobody ever complains that they are laggy. Even my 5770 can play any game at this speed with them still looking nice. The fact is, graphics are going to remain at the same level until new consoles come out and that is not going to be for at least another 3-5 years or so.
