    Yeah, I released it a few days ago.

    I couldn't commit it to Github yet, though

    well actually this is the same as gbmb.....except it moves but....i don't think its that great.....well nm its pretty cool but can't you just add this as a tmp2 function to gbmb?

    Its one diffference......except that you can control its field.........so gbmb/gpmp.....still....no need for a new element.

    this is an energy particle, nothing like GBMB, which actually doesn't really move after starting to make gravity.

    I'll look at nucular's and see how it works, if it works well I might see if I can get it into official, i'm not sure if gravity can update fast enough to work on everyone's computers anymore .... so if it doesn't work well maybe i'll only put it in my mod.

     i said gbmb doesn't move, and it doesn't have a controlled grav field, but its practically the same after that...nm....just make it.....nm about anything i said...

    Maybe update gravity only every certian frame?

    Gravitons could suck themselves into themselves a bit like SING (poorly and drifting into the top left corner), if they're supposed to be any good they should suck themselves into themselves without acting like sing.

    well, SING uses pressure to manipulate their movement which acts weird in a few situations.. Also, now that I look at my GRVT, I noticed this bug with the delayed gravity field, but I can't see how this would affect too much of the gameplay or the uses of this element.

    I added this to my mod for the next version, so we will see how it goes. I think they are really cool to play with :D Things don't need tons of weird fancy reactions to just be fun.

    If anyone wants to suggest any additions, feel free to do that. I sort of copied nucular's version but then changed it a bit ...

    According to one theory, gravitons are the only things that can atravesar the "branes", which are the walls of the universe, so I was thinking, it is possible that the graviton is the only thing that crosses all blocks?
