Got a bit more nether stuff done today. Also discovered that a few old textures are actually for some reason? I might try and do a release sooner than I planned that has some new stuff but mostly just fixes all the broken shit. We'll see.
So I wanted to put this somewhere, but I didn't want to do an update log for the resource pack since I don't want to psyche people out, thinking it's a full update. This is more of a clerical update, I suppose.
I've had a ton of people over the years complain to me about adfly, and how they were getting sketched out by it. My stance on link-monetization has always been something along the lines of "Just learn how to spot sketchy nonsense", but due to the sheer volume of people complaining about dubious ads (and also my own experiences over the years) I've pretty much completely changed my mind.
I don't like the idea of people trying to download my resource pack and getting tricked by some phishing attempt disguised as an "ad", so today I removed all the monetized adfly links and replaced them with direct download links to dropbox. No more ads, no more sketchy nonsense.
It's possible that I'll setup a patreon account in the future, when I'm able to more regularly update the pack. That would feel weird to do now though, since I haven't updated the pack in over a year. I DO plan to remedy this appalling lack of updates, but the amount of crazy nonsense in my life that caused me to slow updates down in the first place has not been reduced. So I guess I'm saying it will be slow, but updates WILL come.
Anyway, let me know if you have any questions/concerns.
Glad to see the link has been updated! I completely understand why you used a monetized link, and I've never been worried about falling for the ads myself but I'm sure plenty of children download the pack who may be more susceptible to trickery.
If you decide to push updates more often and get a Patreon, I'd love to support as I've been continuously using your Resource Pack for the last 7 years!
Hey! So it's been a little over a year since my last update, and what a year it has been. I took on a couple new jobs and did some traveling, all in preparation for my upcoming move. I'll be moving from the Midwest to the Pacific NW sometime this spring/summer and I'm super excited!
That said, as a result of all this nonsense, I haven't been focusing as much on the resource pack, which sucks. I love working on it and I don't plan to ever stop.
Some of you have been asking when the next rp update will come, so I figured I'd answer that here. I can't give an exact date, obviously, but I can say for certain that it will be anywhere between 2-8 months from now. Definitely won't take another year.
Anyway, side note, I've just finished watching series of unfortunate events on Netflix. That's pretty rad. Also I've been listening to this song on repeat and you should too.
So I'm back in town. Which means I can finally work on this update again which was supposed to come out around New Years, but most likely won't come out til near the end of January at the earliest. Oh well.
Anyways, if you're curious about where I went or just enjoy peeping at photos of places and things that are far away maybe, check out my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/staples.is.andy/ Wherein you will find a cornucopia of images documenting things.
So I've been working on an update for the resource pack, hoping to get it done before the 7th, but it looks like that won't happen. I'm going to be going out of country for basically the rest of the month so next update most likely won't happen until January. I've got some good stuff planned for it though.
In the meantime, I hope you all have a good Decemberween!
So a while back (by which I mean about 5 years ago) my friends and I started a server called the Pumpkin Patch. It ran for a couple years and it was a blast, but after a while we had to shut it down because none of us had the time or resources to keep running it.
Recently however, we've dug up it's festering corpse from the dark folders of my google drive and reanimated it using morally questionable science. Now the Pumpkin Patch is back from the dead! Come get a little Factions/Roleplay/RPG action and say hi!
There actually is a random texture for grass blocks. Nothing super fancy and could probably use a rework anyway. As for tall grass, that's been on my list for a looooong time. I've just been trying to keep up with updates so I haven't had the time. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep it in mind.
