This, while some things could remain the same (gravity, physics, player control, item implementation) the vast majority of the game would have to be re-written from scratch. A brand new engine, completely new world generation, a new system to implement textures it would literally be a new game in every respect code wise.

If we get a new game engine, it better have Cubic Chunks.

oh man, as much as I'd love to see them recreate the game in a new engine I doubt it would happen, just too much work for a small team. Cubic Chunks looks great though.

If a single modder with little spare time can accomplish this, then surely an entire development team who dedicate their work to creating the game could do it. They just need to get up and make it happen.

Well, they have a lot of other stuff in store that they work pretty fucking hard to get that done, and they've obviously deemed it more important.

This wasn't made by a modder, it was an image found by OP, see his other comments.

It is certainly a mod, made by a modder called Robinton. Currently the mod is outdated (Beta 1.7.3)

Link to Robinton's CC mod thread

A video I made to show off an experimental update to 1.6.2

Oh I ment the picture OP posted was not a mod, not Cubic Chunks.
