    AI - A good thing?
    Hi everybody!
    Unless you've been living under a rock, you're probably well aware of how much AI Art has been infesting the interwebs! It's ushering in a new diamond age of art expression that totally isn't leeching off other people's work or burning even more carbon dioxide into the air when we really should be cutting down on it!
    So what have I used AI for? I have used my very own AI (Actual Intelligence) to overhaul the thumbnails of all my Planet Minecraft projects as well as my profile pic and this discord's icon into something new and uber-cool!

    UBER COOL!*
    * Not actually uber cool. Just regular cool.

    Why not take a look and bask in the paint - uh I mean wonder that is Actual Intelligence!

    BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack has recently crossed 500,000 downloads and 2 million views!

    I never would have thought I'd have reached these numbers back when I first made the pack, but thank you all for playing, enjoying and advancing!

    Today I have unveiled a piece of original music for The Ender War: An Assassin of Steve Prequel, created by saladbowls!
    It will herald your first entrance into the city of Copperville.

    It has now been ten years since I released my first adventure map Assassin of Steve!

    To celebrate, I have released a special 10th Birthday edition of the map, which can be downloaded on the map's Planet Minecraft page. In it, the spawn rate of all mobs has been increased by 10x! This is a challenge designed for large multiplayer groups.

    In addition, I will just spread a big thank you for the awesome community that has formed around Assassin of Steve as well as my other projects such as a little datapack named BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack. To everyone who has contributed to the Assassin of Steve Wiki, to those who have worked on fan-made spinoffs where the maps are modified with new challenges and stories, and to those who have gotten excited and hyped for the prequel The Ender War.
    Once again, happy ten years, and here's to more years to come!

    Mission 3 of The Ender War: An Assassin of Steve Prequel is now here!

    A brief changelog (read the full one on its page)
    • Added Mission 3.
    • Updated for 1.20.2 use.
    • Added the Gameplay tab to the advancement menu.
    • Added hints. Hints appear during gameplay when encountering a certain mechanic for the first time. At the beginning of the map you can choose to see All Hints, Some Hints, or Few Hints.
    • Overhauled potions (as seen in my earlier post above).
    • Added a /trigger command named effect_list that lists all the potion effects you have, what they do, and their time remaining.
    • Lots and lots of bug fixes across the entire map!

    If you wish to just play Mission 3, at the beginning of the map (after choosing a difficulty and other settings), run this command to start from the end of Mission 2:
    /function aos:pre_map/begin_m3
    Otherwise, you can just start the map as normal from the beginning for the full experience (so far)!

    Announcing today that the Mission 3 Update for The Ender War will be dropping one week from now on Saturday 23rd December!
    A brand new mission filled with action and loot, as well as many bug fixes and improvements across the rest of the map!
    Mark your calendars for a few days before Christmas, for an incredibly un-Christmas experience!

    Today is a very special day - it has been ten years since I first created my Planet Minecraft account. Ten years since I released the Battle Castle, my first project, and in those ten years since I have released many adventure maps along with the hugely popular BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack and all of its related projects.

    This has been such a massive part of my life, and for some of you my projects have become a massive part of yours as well. I just want to say a huge thank you to you, the community, for enjoying what I've made. I will also extend a thank you to my team of Ender Captain Moderators for keeping your colourful eyes on my discord, as well as to the especially active members on the discord and everyone who has ever supported me on Patreon. You are the best!

    In celebration, I am releasing the first two missions of my new adventure map The Ender War: An Assassin of Steve Prequel right here on Planet Minecraft! It currently comes in at about 2-3 hours of gameplay, but it is just a taste of the adventure that I plan for it to become.

    What else can I say? Nothing, go check out The Ender War if you haven't already!

    The first ever Assassin of Steve map was released way back in 2014. But did you know that my Planet Minecraft account and my first project, the Battle Castle, was created on 13th September 2013? We are rapidly approaching ten years of Cave on PMC.
    What else... oh yeah, in order to celebrate, I will be releasing the first public early-access version of Assassin of Steve Minus One, which has now been titled The Ender War: An Assassin of Steve Prequel!
    The map will contain the first two missions entirely completed. As I develop and complete more missions, the map will be updated to include them. Why am I doing this, you may ask? It's so that, instead of having to wait years and years for the map to be fully finished, we can all share the excitement and go on this grand adventure together!
    Want exact dates? No problem!
    - Discord-exclusive public release: 8th September 2023.
    - Planet Minecraft public release: 13th September 2023.

    Happy 5th Birthday Assassin of Steve 3!
    To celebrate, a special edition titled Assassin of Steve 3: Birthdaygeddon has been released!
    What makes this extra special (which you may not be expecting) is that it is a brand new map designed in 1.19.2 but reusing Assassin of Steve 3's builds and assets.
    I'll say no more - download now on the Planet Minecraft page!

    Warning: You should only play this map if you have already played the full, original map

    Today is a very special day because it is the 5th Anniversary of BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack!
    The datapack's first version, 0.1, was first released on 29th April 2017, for snapshot 17w17b. Now, 5 years later, over 6 major Minecraft versions, over 13 major datapack updates, dozens of patches, alpha and beta builds, and a whole Language Pack, Hardcore version, and Terralith version to go with it, it is one of the most popular datapacks out there, with almost 225,000 downloads on Planet Minecraft alone and over 1.1 million views!

    I am also very proud of the community of players built around completing this datapack, from those here on Discord to those who play it dedicatedly on servers or even stream or record it. I'm grateful to those who report bugs and do their best to post suggestions for new advancements or other features, as without them I'm sure this datapack would not be nearly as cool.

    So anyway, happy 5th birthday to BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack! Keep on advancing!

    Announcing a brand new project that I am releasing today!

    Australia is a worldgen datapack that replaces (almost) every biome with brand-new ones straight from the Land Down Under! From the outback to tropical rainforests, from the bush all the way to Tasmania!

    A million is one of those mythical numbers that few reach. Like nearly everyone else who ever reaches this sort of milestone, I never thought I'd reach it myself. BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack has become the second ever datapack on Planet Minecraft to hit a million views! We're also not far off from 200,000 downloads.

    Just wanted to give a massive thank you to my community for all of their support, suggestions, bug reports, and other advancement antics. Keep on advancing!

    Hello world!

    Today I have given the Language Pack and Hardcore version of BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack their own PMC pages! I decided to split these off to their own pages to reduce the clutter on the main page and also so I can more clearly explain how they work on their own pages. They will also receive their individual changelogs there instead.

    Hello world!

    In case it wasn't obvious, BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack 2 - which I released the other day - was an April Fools joke.

    The OG and real BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack will continue to receive alpha builds and updates as per normal. There probably won't be one with new goat advancements until next snapshot (since goats kind of feel unfinished in the current snapshot... I mean, they can't even charge yet).

    I will still leave BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack 2 available for download as well as the trailer - I had great fun putting all those together and hopefully y'all had as much fun as I did checking it out!
