    One of the things I'm implementing in this update asides from a full system rewrite is a new way to customize my datapacks!
    This is an idea I had back when we got 1.20.2, but it took me up until now to finally be able to implement it system-wide. I have to rewrite the system anyway, so might as well.
    (Note: by "system" here I mean all the packs I've made since 1.20 and am currently updating)

    why can I still only hear music through one earbud
    its been like this since last night
    just turned on the music and I can only hear it through the right earbud
    but both are fully charged
    the heck
    am I really going deaf in my left or is my ear still blocked from being sick for two straight weeks

    might be an ear blockage from the sickness (I had a similar thing happened to me, it took my ear a good week or two after the sickness left to properly clear up)
    if you haven't already, definitely try and see if the earbud is playing at all (i know since they're shaped for one ear they wont fit properly, but if you turn them all the way up and hold it by your right ear to see if you can hear anything)

    if you need to clear earwax, very simple way without risking damaging the inside of the ear would be olive oil/almond oil, since it softens earwax.

    forgot to say they’re airpods (I’m just used to saying earbuds), so switching which ear they’re in don’t really work because of their strange shape.

    Yes, Version 20d1 (coming soon) will be designed for both 1.20.5 and 1.20.6, given the features we've seen in that release so far.
    It's exactly the same deal as it was in 1.20.4.

    I'll be seeing "Where's 1.20.5" comments soon.
    When that comes, I'll save a link to this post as a response so I don't have to copy and paste the same post over and over again. Here goes:

    I manage 20 projects currently. Short version: It takes time. (Progress updates on Discord)
    Long version:
    My updates take time to complete as I properly go through each of them to see which features I'd need to improve to match the current version's meta, if there is any.
    I'm also using latest techniques available on the version I'm designing it for to make sure my packs are the best they can be on release, and it takes time to discover what these new techniques are.
    My datapack creator tool Scripter helps, but like any tool, it needs a person to be used to make stuff with.


    Bit of a long default response, but the recap is the same across all my releases.

    A small comment on the massive changes 1.20.5 is bringing to the table and it's massive effects to datapacks and custom maps as a whole:

    I think the hardest thing with making the ideas I wanted to make happen into a datapack is that a lot of the times it's really really hard to do so efficiently, and some other times, Mojang would step in and mess with your stuff, and without the reach needed to overrule the thing they've irreversibly changed, you kinda just have to live with the storm.

    It's understandable if because of that or any other reason, creators would prefer mods over datapacks since they can do what they want on a version they choose to do it at (basically removing Mojang's effect on things, at least partially, if you've read some of my secret Patreon dev posts), and if they choose to do so, we should still support them for it, because at the end of all this, they've spent the hours that could've been spent in other ventures that'll most likely give them way more money, to make sure you get the best things possible, in the best way that they can.
    (Wait, I've been making datapacks for 5 years? Time flies, man.)

    As for me? I'll just live with the storm and do my best to make sure all my projects I've made in the 1.20x series get a proper update to 1.20.5. I personally find the storm to be a challenge, a problem that I'm slowly overcoming with Scripter - which, in a way, is like the hand-crafted ship I'd built to weather this storm.
    But also because I wanted to experience the latest stuff the game has to offer with the tweaks that I've personally made to enhance the game the way I find fun to play.

    But anyways, enough of that, the updates are coming.
    I'll leave update details on Discord if you wanted to check those out.

    I know that technically a datapack can stay at a given release too, but unlike mods, datapacks are more reliant on the tools that Mojang provides in each new release. So something I wanted to make back in 1.13 for example, can't really be made efficiently until way later on. It's kinda why I have a long list of old ideas. I just kept them all, even when I know it's not doable, so when it is, I can start messing with it.

    At some point I'll make it possible so everyone could quickly make packs with my custom datapack creator Scripter.
    I'm not confident with showing the tool as it is now, as it was only built to suit my weird style, so it likely won't help anyone as it is.
    But someday, when I have a lot more time to spend on datapack shenanigans, I'll work on a version that can be used by a more diverse set of people, and release it by then.

    Anywho, 1.20.5 is coming.
    Working on upgrading all my projects, more news in the Discord Server. See you soon!

    bruh, part two of the last wall post

    just finished watching a random ten minute video then tried to click the link again, and apparently it’s fixed itself :|
    well, that was quite anticlimactic
    guess I can toss my tablet to the side again (*under my desk)

    okay but I actually panicked fr when it said I was blocked, I literally thought I was really blocked

    help-
    please don’t tell me I’m the only one experiencing this-

    i’m trying to go to skindex and it keeps saying I’m blocked, but I have no idea why
    i thought they removed stupid cloudflare blocking, but it won’t even let me access the site
    like, I’m trying to click the direct link I have on this profile, but it keeps bringing me to the cloudflare blocking page

    i don’t even know why this is happening
    if anyone has experienced this before (which I doubt), are there any tips I could try to fix this? or am I just permanently blocked for no reason

    when I thought my week couldn’t get any worse, well, now it has

    (I’m going to check and see if it’s doing this on my old tablet that has a broken keyboard, I’ll have to charge it first though)
    (Edit- tablet is on the charger, but since it’s literally a decade old, I’ll have to wait for it to get a bit of charge before I check. Guess I’ll watch this ten minute video while I wait…)

    Gee, I wonder what's the average time on how long it would take for an Important bug to be fixed. I got this bug marked as Important in 1.20.4 when I realized that it broke a Villager Names feature in a way that can't really be worked around efficiently, even with the new stuff available in 1.20.5, and somehow it survived the full 1.20.5 snapshot cycle without even being noticed.

    Anywho, if you're wondering why the workaround still exists in Villager Names 1.20.5, this is why. I'll leave a note in the pack's Update Log by then as well.

    Small update. Next month, we will start planning for registering the company locating in Thailand. The company and team will focus on developing the "CollabTech". There is a sign of more organizations are going to join us this journey in the future.

    Here is a definition of CollabTech:

    "A platform that enables everyone to ‘get to the point’ quickly and facilitates immediate collaboration through building blocks of best practices from various experts in the fields."

    Well, without the rooted passion originated from this warm community, we might have not progressed this far. Keep pursuing for your dreams, guys! :)

    Time for a discussion: I think the Datapacks section in PlanetMinecraft field should be split into 2 categories: Datapacks and Modded Datapacks.
    • Modded Datapacks are datapacks designed to work for a particular mod or a modpack.
      (requires the mod/modpack's link in the download as well, kinda like required resource packs)
    • Datapacks are for packs designed for Vanilla Minecraft.
    I think that when datapacks are mentioned people mostly mean vanilla datapacks anyway, so that's why I think the term "Datapacks" should be for packs designed in Vanilla.
    Anyways, let me know what you think!

    I don't really think another category would do in this case.

    Categories are often used to split up the different branches of the same big tree.
    But modded datapacks and vanilla datapacks are their own separate trees altogether - even though they are both trees (tree in this case being a datapack), they work on different environments which most of the time isn't compatible with eachother (a modded datapack might modify something vanilla itself doesn't have, for example), and hence can't be considered branches of the same tree.

    From an user experience point of view: If you're someone who has no idea about the technical things that can be done by vanilla datapacks, you'd assume modded datapacks and vanilla datapacks as one and the same (since they're both categorized as "datapacks" at first based on the site's current design), only to then install a modded datapack in vanilla and be confused about why it doesn't work, or vice versa.

    Splitting it into two categories would be a bit much, instead we could theoretically add a checkbox for something like “Requires a mod” and they could filter out those that do.

    ScotsMiser's Avatar
    I'm none too clear on the lines between texture packs / data packs / resource packs / mods so some clarification wight be a good place to start…

    Assuming I correctly understand what you mean, having at least a filter setting for those that require additional software (Optifine seems to be a commonly sited example) would make sense.
    Whether an entirely seperate subfora is needed is more debatable as there may be those who prefer having only one place through which to search.
    [​Which again brings up the issue of overlap between various sorts of game modifying 'things'.]


    Bye the bye, this probably shoud be filled as a suggestion ticket if you find any reasonable level of support…

    I hate planned obsolescence. Why intentionally make your products bad after a few years of use? Sure, you'd get more trades doing that, and more trades means more money, but it comes at a cost of screwing everyone over.

    PS: I said this because my new mouse broke after a year of use, and I had an older mouse that lasted for 5 years before this. I can see why some people would hoard old stuff in boxes and just use that - I mean I would if it means I don't have to waste valuable time in buying a new mouse every year.
