I’m glad that Sponge isn’t using an ECS, mostly because it seemed a little silly to use a design pattern that is completely different from the one being manipulated… Although I was excited about the convenience of custom components.

Minecraft may be switching to a component structure in the future sometime anyway:

@Zidane

As with all structures, there are cons. In this case, it comes down to incompatibility with existing code. We’ve gotten hints from Mojang at the prospect of Minecraft converting to a component structure but obviously we have no ETAs nor a guarantee. At the same point, staying the course with a top-down design means that should Minecraft switch to components, its an API-break.
