Theres a trend I've noticed with the current era of minecraft modding.
It's a sort of... professionalism? We're seeing a lot more mods made by large teams rather than single creators. Theres also a lot more focus - theres a definite trend of larger mods with many distinct features being split up into multiple separate mods for each distinct feature, if that makes sense. That's probably largely driven by curseforge's revenue scheme - I guess it's more profitable to have 5 mods with 1 main feature and a million downloads each, than 1 mod with all 5 features and a million downloads.
I don't know if this corresponds to the latter trend or the former but theres a definite increase in library mods - mod makers are building a lot more infrastructure for their work but each team is building their own library.
And I really don't know how I feel about all this.
This trend of professionalism has lead to an increase in quality but it feels like its come at the cost of creativity - theres an obsession with fitting into the vanilla game, both mechanically and artistically. It feels like modern mods are focused on expanding and fleshing out the vanilla game in a cohesive way, in stark contrast to how earlier mods used vanilla as just a platform to build their own stuff. And I feel like this is a good thing, but I also feel sad for what came before.
And I really think you can trace this change back to minecraft's change in artstyle. Programmer Art is aptly named - the original graphics were quick and dirty textures thrown together so they could get on with making the actual game. And this fostered a lot of creativity in the modding community - a community largely comprised of programmers - who could imitate this artstyle very easily. The new artstyle is great, don't get me wrong, but it pressures modmakers to match it. This means the old generation of simply textured box machines look out of place in the new graphics. When the old graphics were simple it didn't feel wrong to have something wildly different thrown in there - think Thaumcraft's inexplicably 128x128 textures in a 16x16 game, or whatever the fuck was happening with draconic evolution - whereas the obvious thought and care put into the official art makes anything even remotely out of place look wrong.
This is definitely a factor in the increase of larger teams - it's a lot harder for one person to make a whole mod and a whole set of cohesive textures. And when something looks professional theres a pressure to make it function professionally as well - if it's going to fit in with the vanilla game visually it's going to have to fit in mechanically as well.
And again, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing - indeed, this could all just be a result of the modding community maturing. But I do have some problems with it:
Firstly, I think its notable that previous eras of modding are associated with a specific version - 1.6.4, 1.7.10, 1.12.2. That's not the case now. There seems to be a lot more pressure to update to the latest version, which is combined with a sudden increase in vanilla update frequency. I think this has pretty drastic consequences. When the modding scene stayed still, as it did in 1.7.10 and 1.12.2, theres a lot of time for mods to get used to each other. Think back to 1.7.10 where magic mods were including references and counters to each other. With the much faster development to get every mod updated to the latest version with different mods getting updated at different times theres much less opportunity for intrinsic cross mod compatibility. This is combined with the recent split between fabric and forge, resulting in mods that ironically look very similar but with much less conscious compatibility.
Theres also something off about the art style. Theres a sort of shared style that you see across a lot of popular mods right now. It's not just that they look like vanilla textures - because in large part they look more like each other than they do vanilla. Idk if that makes sense. It's like theres a consistent artstyle for mods that is ever so slightly different from the art style of vanilla.
And this, of course, brings us to the elephant in the room.
They all look like fucking Create.
I said earlier that I thought these changes could all be traced back to the change in vanilla artstyle - and I still think that's true - but when you're tracing it back the line inevitably runs through that one mod.
Create was huge. Back when modding was still getting used to the artstyle changes, Create I think solidified the entire era. It was an aesthetically pleasing, stylistically cohesive, mechanically balanced and technically astounding mod. It was big enough to draw attention from vanilla players who had never played modded before then, bringing them in with expectations formed by it. Which, in turn, created a pressure in the community to replicate this success.
I'm gonna be honest - Create annoys me. I dislike the artstyle. I dislike the obsession with aesthetics and vanilla-like gameplay over functionality. I especially dislike how its found in literally every modpack for recent versions.
But (reluctantly) putting aside my dislike of Create, I begrudgingly admit that all in all, these trends are overall good for modding. As I said earlier, they're a sign of a maturing community. But I'll still miss how mods in earlier eras were much more free to be completely batshit, or pure functionality (rftools and mahou tsukai come to mind as mods that have largely ignored the changes in the community). Every era has it's own feel and if what's new isnt for me, that's fine. Maybe I'm just old and bitter and this is all in my own head - I'm not a modder, I've just been playing this game a long time.

Hi volume one of my new children's graphic novel Tales of the Twilight Forest is OUT and available for paperback order worldwide. It's volume one so there will be a LOT MORE volumes out soon! (volume two is almost done), each volume will be focused on an individual aspect of Twilight Forest progression, this one's about Alex defeating the Naga and it's cool and easy reading. CHECK IT!

HOLY SHIT this is probably the most mundane thing ever to anyone else but I FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE ESSENTIA ICONS FROM THAUMCRAFT!! https://game-icons.net/  <--- look at it!!
so i was browsing around open source icon sets, yknow, as you do. anyways, i found game-icons and was like “oh neat”. then. the little example grid flipped around a few times and what do i see?
Tumblr media
FAMES!
Tumblr media
BESTIA!
Tumblr media
that wheat one (the aspect is called Messis apparently)
Tumblr media
i thought this one on the left was the gem from Vitreus, but it’s actually the one on the right
anyways so at this point i’m FREAKING OUT because OH MY GOD ITS THE THAUMCRAFT ICONS. so i scramble around to find a sprite sheet of all of the icons and
Tumblr media
VICTUS!
Tumblr media
PERDITIO!!!!!
Tumblr media
ORDO!!!!!
Tumblr media
hehe look at the little guy in Iter go. i love him
Tumblr media
TERRA!!!!
so this is awesome and all, but do you know what this means?
Tumblr media
this is Potentia, of course (on the left). but what is it? what is this image? i’ve always thought it was a raw fish (on the right) because it looks a lot like it. but that makes no sense because this aspect is "potential energy". also you get it from coal. so that can’t be it. but now that i’ve found the source of the icons, i can finally solve this question that i’ve literally had from childhood, from my earliest memories (early 2000s minecraft lets-plays on youtube). so i searched through the icons, shaking with anticipation. and finally...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it’s "Thor’s fist". it’s a fist grabbing lightning. BECAUSE IT’S ENERGY!!!!! It’s a lightning bolt being harnessed because it’s representing one harnessing the aspect of energy. i would have never guessed this in a bajillion years and i’m stupid (not actually, am just very silly).
anyways that’s all

So you know Fade to Black? You know how we get Evan? I have had so much brain rot over Evan (that friends keep enabling), I freaking love Evan. He's like if Sammy Lawrence was a Gent guy instead of the music guy, except younger and a little less mature. Anyway I know Evan dies at the end of Fade to Black ala the ink demon being a hungry hungry hippo, but like...what if I wrote him as a Keeper? As a treat, for me? I say this like I haven't been doing this for months, but I've been doing this. For months. And it is so fun. He is a silly little science gremlin that is going to get into so many unethical experiments that backfire on him, and I love him. I'm currently playing with stuff for a fic where he's got some memory loss and doesn't realize who he was or what he used to do, but he keeps having these dreams about Rose looking for him, no clue who she is. And it's just -chef's kiss- so tasty. I ought to write out a sequence or something.

Hi! Starting over again!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idk how many people may remember this blog but hi! I'm Val aka Smolwritingchick.
I used to post The Bangtan Gal here on Tumblr. A BTS Jungkook love story about an 8th member of BTS, Jennie Walker.
I'm starting over. I have two stories I want to post on here that I deleted. A wrestling story called Forced To Believe which is about a female member of The Shield from WWE (I posted that on fanfiction.net many years ago) and my BTS story, Bangtan Gal. Currently editing chapters and will post them soon.
I took a long break from writing due to my mental health and just lack of motivation to write as I focused more on work and had other passions. But I miss it and would love to repost my work. I'm not a big fan of the fanfiction.net site these days so I will be posting my stories on Wattpad, Tumblr and Archive of our own for now on.
I'm hoping to continue The Bangtan Gal as I plan out new chapters after editing the old ones. For now, what matters is that I'm having all these chapters up from what has already been written so people can reread.
I don't really care about the notes or views. I just want to post these up again and see where it goes.
I keep rereading my stories and I really miss it so why not?
Stay tuned.

I'm also on Wattpad and Archive of Our Own

fun facts with rott.
RLcraft is composed of many mods. One of these mods, lycanites mobs, adds a whole lot of creatures.
The specific mobs im gonna be talking about is the lurker, jouste and krake.
All of these have one thing in common, they are all from this little game called oddworld.
imahes from lycaintes mobs will be on the left and oddworld on the right
The jouste:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In oddworld they are called scrabs
These have almost the same design as well as having the same sound effects. Now the key differences is:
that scrabs can only be seen with red skin unlike the jouste from lycanites mobs
Scrabs are incredibly territorial and will kill anyone who comes near, even other scrabs.
Scrabs live alone unlike the joustes who are seen in groups with an alpha
The lurker
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In oddworld they are called paramites. They basically have the same design as well as having the same sound effects
The key differences are:
Paramites are only hostile in groups. If alone they will lead creatures to their pack in a sort of ambush. If the creature itself retreats the paramite will follow at a distance. If they are completely alone and cornered they will warn whatever creature has cornered them before attacking. They wont attack when alone basically
Paramites have their own language
The krake
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In oddworld they are called meech
The key differences are
Meech are extinct due to a company called rupture farms hunting them all down to make meech munchies.
They are never seen in game, thus have no sound effects
Not much else is known
And thats about it :)
Of course these creatures are much more complex as the world of oddworld goes way beyond the games themselves. I highly recommend checking the games, though the first 2 are from the late 90s and only runs on systems that can read ps1 discs, alternatively you can buy them on steam
I do not recommend Oddworld: abe's oddysee, the first in the series, on steam though as its incredibly sloppy and has infuriating and delayed controls, get the ps1 version instead or play new'n'tasty which is a remake, though a pretty bad one that doesnt compare to the grim nature of the original.
