This mod is amazing and I have been using it since 1.6.4 can you please for me start a 1.8.9 branch that performance increase for 1.8.9 is super real!

Mineshopper's current stance on 1.8 can be found at the top of the downloads section of the official website for Carpenters' Blocks, www.carpentersblocks.com. The text is reproduced below:

"As many of you know, Minecraft 1.8 mod development is now possible. I've looked through the code changes several times and have determined that if this mod is to continue, it would likely require a complete rewrite of major portions of code. This is assuming every feature is able to be ported, which I cannot guarantee.

Due to these circumstances, I currently have no plans on porting the mod to Minecraft 1.8. If you have suggestions on how to move forward, or would like to help, feel free to drop by the mod thread and post your idea(s)."
