It's pretty impressive but why bother? Even if you got it working perfectly and wrote a firefox clone somehow it would still be running through minecraft so would be slow as hell. Why not work on making a minecraft internet protocol instead, then we can chat to each other through the craftinet and have websites and things :D

too slow... we need google chrome!

What have you done! Now there will be viruses in Minecraft! NO! You've doomed us all......

@CaptainCarthex Exactly Why I said In Theory. (:

@redstoneman19 This has already been achieved in minecraft, this mod too :D

@CaptainCarthex Okay I'm not saying its untraceable at all, I'm just saying, most people would stop looking for the culprit when they find it came from a server host, and doing it from CMD, there's no one it can be blamed on BUT you

@screamz332 In theory but not in practice. First thing to know about computer science, normal math principles don't apply. You know how in math if you have a number A and add something to it B and both are positive (A>0 B>0) well, if A is much much larger than B it's entirely possible and extremely likely that A+B=A. That being said, computers are severely limited in what they do, so no. It couldn't go on forever. Wanna try it out? Download virtualbox run OS with virtual box repeat on down.

@magefire342 You don't know what you're talking about, do you? Let's say the server runs, say, literally as many as the server can handle without uber lag. Every single request would go through minecraft then the server's connection to the greater internet. Meanwhile, if you just run your average run of the mill cmd prompt and use an unlimited ping command, every request is processed by cmd prompt which is super light weight compared to a minecraft server. And everything is traceable.

I still don't know what an RSS feed is, but I feel like making that would actually be useful. I'm not hating on this though, it's truly cool! Just the idea is awesome. In game download of BC3.1 blueprints, perhaps?
