Ace of Spades, the original "Minecraft with Guns"

[FelixWright]

VERY Good game. Bought out and ruined by JaGeX. They REALLY dropped the ball. But classic continues to be playable to this day, now free and open source. Maybe I can convince some of you to pick it up (again?)  :grin:

MAKE YOUR OWN MODS

Note: I recommend consulting the B&S / Aloha.PK forums and Discord for learning how to make skins / getting help with it
