Hi guys!

I'll keep this short, but I figured this might be the easiest way to keep you all in the loop about 1.19.3 and 1.19.4.

My texture packs contain hundreds of variant items - this is all powered by Optifine. I typically update my texture packs immediately after Optifine updates but it's taking longer than usual for Optifine to update to 1.19.3. As far as I can tell there's a good reason for this - Mojang rewrote the code that Optifine leverages to enable custom item variants. There is a preview version of Optifine for 1.19.3 (and 1.19.4), but neither supports CIT. This is why my variant textures aren't working in the latest version even though you might be using the Optifine preview.

Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about this until Optifine updates. Hopefully the CIT feature is added back in - or at the very least there's a new way of supporting variant item textures. I am just as disappointed as you all that I can't play in the latest version and have access to all the variants, but hopefully this isn't permanent.

If support for CIT never returns, I plan to release all the variants as their own individual packs - this is something I've considered doing for a while now but it's a time-consuming process and ultimately, I want all the variants in one pack so we can mix and match.

Thanks for all the support - in the meantime I'll have 1.19.2 updates rolling out for my Samurai pack and Pirate pack very soon - so keep an eye out!
