    So, Mojang's Update Logs are written for their website version via HTML, and it was mostly following that format well, but when 1.26.3 snapshot comes about, someone probably thought it would be funny to start dropping end tags for list entries and see if anyone noticed it.

    Well, my tool's been constantly pinging me about it for all logs starting from 1.26.3-s1, so I guess I have to deal with that extra case now. More updates soon!

    PS: Technically HTML5 doesn't require list entries to have end tags if it's covered by the list indicators (browsers will still be able to handle those), but it does wreck tools made for older update logs where this wasn't being applied, so that's another thing I need to take care of.

    I mean, not really?
    This is just what I need to do so I can proudly say that the stuff I make were properly designed and optimized for every game release it supports.

    Hey everyone! Wanted to let you all know that the early access version of 128x beta (2.0.11a) is out now for Emerald Tier and up! Emerald and above get early access to all texture pack builds and betas, but I still want to share with everyone what has been added and changed! This will be available down the road for Gold and up!

    Mojang decided to break all bed and sign textures due to randomly changing the texture and model formats. This broke 99% of packs that have those textures, mine included. I have had to go in and redo every single texture from scratch.

    In doing this I have improved all of the textures. Better shading on signs, added wool texturing on the beds, etc. I hope you enjoy the update. Might seem a little small since it's just.. beds and signs but there are so many variants this took so many hours to complete. More than I care to admit lol

    Changelog:
    All Bed Textures (112 Textures Total)
    -White Bed (7 Textures)
    -Light Gray Bed (7 Textures)
    -Gray Bed (7 Textures)

    A lot happened to me the past few weeks, and I still got a lot of stuff I need to deal with, so while you wait for my next projects, I'd like to fix a little oopsie I've made about 8 months prior at the end of 2025.

    The story I'd read about PayPal winning the Honey lawsuit lacked full context. The Honey lawsuit was dropped, but the verdict lets the creators post an updated version that needs to address the missing details that were raised during the case, which they did. The fight still continues, and the people are hitting Honey hard.

    Also: Internet Archive did a really good job preserving history as is for everyone, and the big corps will probably try even harder to take it down when Honey eventually loses the lawsuit because of it.

    Anyways, more project news coming soon!

    The last time Mojang delayed a week in between snapshots, we got 1.20.5 in return.
    If they're actually doing something like that again, bring it on. Scripter is ready. Let's see what they got.
    (oh wait nevermind it's just summer break ... welp)
    Sul4ur • 2026-07-31 12:20:59
    Dude the last tike I thought something like this could happen again, it was last year, when 1.21.6 was releasing.

    I thought Mojang would make entities component-driven, instead of NBT-driven, just like they did with items back in 1.20.5.

    Turns out, the snapshot was just delayed by 2 days. Oh yeah, we eventually never got component-driven entities.

    Hey guys! Here is the beta for the 128x version of Default HD!

    Plenty of new textures that took a while as a couple of them have multiples that are required for them to work. Over 50 new textures this time around!

    Please note: For MC version 26.2+ signs and beds are not working correctly due to Mojang changing the texture format and directory. For now delete those textures from your zip and they will load defaults. I will be remaking them all in the next update so it will be fixed.

    -dried ghast (28 textures)
    -exposed lightning rod
    -oxidized lightning rod
    -weathered lightning rod
    -firefly bush (bush and emissive)

    Also, all my releases (except Decapitation, that's arriving later) are now officially designed for 1.26.2!
    There just isn't a way for me to update all my projects at once here, then schedule when it's going to go live so that the 5 new updates per day limit is still properly respected.
    I'm still having to do all that myself.

    Here's hoping that PMC does something about that, and add 26.2 to the Compatibility list while they're at it. It's been a week, mates.
    Cyprezz GAH! Added 26.2 to data pack versions and I bumped your allowed updates per day to 50.
    TheDiamondPlayables • 2026-06-26 10:43:23
    Thank you so much for taking the time to dig into that for me!
    I noticed that the fix required special backend access, so I get it if this is just a temporary patch. If it would help you build a more permanent solution in the future, feel free to let me know if you need anything from me. Happy to provide anything I can to make it easier for ya.

    PS: I had to edit this so many times before sending it, I'm definitely joining that skull reaction party.

    Whatever it is that happens next, let me say this: If I somehow managed to turn this thing into a proper job, I'll always remain independent. Outside funding isn't given to you without anything in return, and I don't want to compromise my projects' quality for anything else.

    That being said, 26.2 is coming to my Datapack Collection about 2-3 days after it's official launch, just so I can be sure that there are no hidden changes between the official release and the snapshot versions. See you then!

    Minecraft Live in a short post:
    26.2 coming June 16 (no Friends list networking, that's now TBD), new gray wood set, wool stairs and slabs, red bush, 2 new leaf types (one fixed red, one biome colored, both same textures by the looks of it). Adventure Update 2 also TBD.
    The update wasn't designed by the Sweden team by the looks of it, they're probably working on the Friends list networking - in which case we'll get it in the next update as well.

    Hey everyone! The latest update (Beta 2.6a) that's Early Access for Emerald, Lapis, and Netherite is out now!

    This updates main focus was on make a new sky set for the birch biomes.

    I was not happy with the old texture so I remade a new one from scratch. After seeing the poll showing that a lot of interest is still focused on Dramatic Skys I want to put more effort into making it that much better, and I am starting by weeding out skies I do not think are good enough! I hope you enjoy!

    Thank you so much to UsernameGeri for taking the screenshots!

    Changelog:
    -Updated for 1.26+
    -Updated MCMeta
    -Updated sky set for all birch biomes
    -New day texture
    -New sunrise/sunset texture
    -New night texture

    I really hope you guys enjoy this early build! If you have any questions or issues please let me know!
