But the question really is: is it worth Mevans' time? This Mod has hundreds of blocks, and each one requires several lines of code, plus, some other things would have to be changed as well, not to mention bug fixing and all that. Mevans wants to have the Mod in the current MC version just as much as anyone else, it's just a huge task to update a mod this big.

Unless something really useful comes to Vanilla, or Minecraft stops updating, or someone makes a fully-functioning program to easily change 1.7.10 code to 1.12, or Mevans wakes up one day and decides to update, then I really doubt we're leaving 1.7.10. you do understand that coding the same colours and same type of block they added (shulcker boxs, concrete) would be protected through copyright? forgive me if i am mistaking you for coding something else.

Mevans doesn't have to make the textures identical, but they could be similar (like how the coral block eerily resembles prismarine) and function the same way. Personally, I like the new MC blocks, but they aren't really the main reasons for updating. They would more likely be pleasant side-effects of updating to Mevans, not the motive itself.
