PMC! Soooo, I have good news and "bad" news!

Good news, the Creator Analytics update is ready but the bad news is the timing isn't right to launch. I have some IRL things happening that require my undivided attention. All good things though, so no worries there. It's just best to wait until things are settled so that I can return the same attention to the update and you.

Creator Analytics WILL release next month! It took longer than initially expected for a number of unexpected reasons but scope of work also grew in many directions for the best. There's always more to do after the launch but there's more than enough to be useful and fun now and into the foreseeable future and historical past interests. Always nice when things motivate you to go, go, go. Didn't help switching chart libraries last week but know it was the right decision for the short and long run.

You'll see soon and I'm looking forward to having the proper time to respond to bugs and feature requests.

With the completion of my world, I get to do something that I've been waiting all this time for.

In much the same way that we used to use cheats such as Invincibility, unlimited ammo, and all weapons, this is akin to me having just a little fun and more than deserved treat of doing something that goes against the grain. While I would have loved to cover everything, unfortunately there isn't a Creative mode and all inventory edit mods are defunt.

What you see is pretty much my entire supply of TNT I've crafted by hand. Rougly a stack and a half. Could have farmed more, but I think this is more than enough.

Thank you, Notch, for so many wonderful years of entertainment. This isn't the end, only the beginning of the next chapter for me. Now that this is done, I can move on to other versions and other games.

This dog has a mohawk!

I spent the last like...5 months or something saving up for a new lens and oh boy am I happy with it, $3200 well spent.

Update post: IT WORKED!!!! I have no idea how, but dear god I'm happy that it does because my other option would have been to scour the entire map blindly looking for dungeons.

I've never been so excited in my life. Sure, I could have done this months ago yet I wanted to wear out my world a bit before doing something drastic. Given I'm just missing the green disk now, my museum will be complete in a few hours assuming that I can get the green disk to drop as well.

Got a functional mob farm going. Needs to have some things worked out like knowing the spawn rates and the like, but it'll do for the time-being. Not the prettiest or most efficient, but once I get what I need, I'll find a guide to make it better. The wool there is for me to be in range for things to spawn, there's a hole for the mobs to look through so they will fall into a water trap that sends them down to near death by falling.

It's neat trying to figure out ways of doing things on my own instead of always running to youtube or here to find something that was probably playtested for hundreds of hours.

Hm, I wonder what they'r building here? Could it be a new megastructure or testing out some fencing ideas? Maybe it will be that warehousing they wanted so they aren't going around trying to find some random item that's buried in one of the dozens of chests lying around.

Whatever it is, hopefully it'll turn out alright design-wise. Since I have a couple of days off, going to be working on some projects and hopefully find those music disks. My current plan is probably making some crude mob farm using a box and some water and just praying for some AI luck.

For the first time ever, I've finally used up a diamond pickaxe in my Alpha SSP. I've always either lost it through dying or made a new world. This is a great day for me because I'm over my fear of wasting items for the most part.

Back in the day, I was so perfectionist that I would constanly start over if anything went wrong even in the slightest. The older I've gotten, the more I accept that failure isn't always the worst and sometimes losing things helps you find others.

Despite that, I'll still be using stone pickaxes in the nether because netherrack will chew through even my 2 stacks of iron block supply in minutes.
