I have released Enchiridion, an enchantment rework oriented around categories that make enchantments mutually exclusive!

Available for both Fabric 📜 and NeoForge 🦊 1.21.1.

Minecraft modding has ultimately gotten to my head a fair bit. I think I need time away from it.

I'm ultimately tired of rly weird standards being forced on me bc somebody else is doing it, like multiversion for example.

I need to play more Crossworlds, please tell me if y'all want game streams from time to time.

I think I'm going to make a writeup on Mario Kart World, Sonic Racing Crossworlds and Garfield Kart 2 (for the meme) when I sit down and make a blog.

My forked Multiloader Template works for me for the time being, but I'm hoping to ditch it for my own Gradle Toolchain specifically for multiloader mod usage later down the line.

This is outright awesome to see. Genuinely very interesting (and hacky I assume) tech to get it all working under the same development environment, especially without going with one of the very undesirable existing solutions.

I love to see innovation in the modding scene like this.

#LambDynamicLights v4.5.0 is out for both #FabricMC and #NeoForge!

This update might be quite huge for some people preferring NeoForge!
Same JAR, both platforms. Can't get it wrong ;)

Jokes aside, I told him that the tech team behind Minecraft: Java Edition are outright awesome. I honestly get very excited to see what new changes are popping up in Java Edition each and every snapshot.

Honestly think it's hilarious how I really got in Jeb's face about Mooblooms when I met him at the Sydney event. Jens is awesome.

If Mooshrooms get Mushroom Stew, and Mooblooms get Nectar Bowls (surprised nobody's done this outside of myself ngl)...

Yes, they do get THC.

Calico @merchantcalico.net · 21d

More-so like a Mooshroom/Moobloom. Just a natural evolution of the concept.

I owned "tangled.org" since 1998, and had been looking for the right thing to do with it ever since. Glad to have found it a good home!

tangled.sh is now tangled.org!

If there are any problems with the themes, especially on the accessibility front. Please tell me and I'll adjust. I've additionally kept the default Forgejo themes with colorblind variants in case my unique ones are not up to your style.

Hey y'all, I just wanted to point out that the COLTS (Community LTS) proposal is naïve at best, actively harmful at worst. I described my concerns better on my blog.

#colts #mcdev

On Community LTS

How will the Minecraft modding community cope with the never-ending cycle of breaking updates? Most certainly not with standards.
