Hello there!
I'd like to announce that the in-development datapack, which if you're on my profile, can see on the right; is pretty much paused again.

But that's not all.
I'm focusing on another type of content (see my YouTube, i just updated all social links) which is basically animation instead of programming.

And I haven't finished yet: next March I'm finally graduating from school and going to start another four years of study :D
Though that study is *coding*, that does not mean I'll be able to be here, since its a whole different coding language environment.

Having that said, you won't probably hear much more about me (at least on PlanetMinecraft) from now on, since I recently started school and have changed my aim to an easier, less time-taking one.

If you see this: at the time of typing I'm focusing on my YouTube & Twitter and still have no ideas for Twitch (and probably never will). My Discord tag should work as of now and my GitHub hasn't changed in ages.

Seeya!

Accidentally didnt finish the last post:
Having this said, I can finally properly continue the datapack.

Hello there! I got news for ya.
Quick resume: UUID (tested on 1.19) and UUIDLeast + UUIDMost (1.14)

I have finally found a way to link users to certain tools, meaning it can potentially make an anti-stealing system. How would this be applied on the current datapack may you ask?

Linking fans!
To avoid mismatching, the fan and controller have an identifier as TAGS.
Here's how the internals would communicate:

"Hey fan, do we have the same UUID" (controller)
"Let me check" (all fans nearby)
"Yes, we do! Let me do my job." (the matched fan)

Essentially, linking is really good when it comes to moving ONLY selected things.


But okay, you may ask, "why not use any other tag apart from UUID right since the beginning?". Well, as far as I know, the only way to differ furniture is the UUID tag.

And then, this pops on your mind: "wouldnt then all interactable furniture OF THE SAME TYPE that you craft; trigger all at once?".

You're correct, they would all trigger at once!
All your fans, for example, would spin together.
There's currently no workaround that I know of for that :(

Anyways, having this said,

My gosh its been so long. A whole year without datapacks :(

Many things have happened in the meantime but I'm still willing to finish that one datapack.
I'm also thinking on ways to update older datapacks - be it improvements or additions.

I'll be back with new updates ASAP
