Me when I realized PMC's New Year fireworks still shout 2023: #blameparil
(Paril might not be responsible for it, but I still find it funny to use lol)

Tip if you're using my releases and 20c1 isn't working on 1.20.2:
The letter matters. a is .1, b is .2, c is .3, and so on. "-" means base, so 20-x works for 1.20.
Letter isn't moved up if the dot release didn't change existing features much.
1.20.4 still uses 20cx because of that, same for why 20-x are designed for 1.20-1.20.2.

If you need an older release of my projects, I keep every releases I've ever hosted on Patreon (it's free) since PMC doesn't have an older releases option (I won't move there if they have one now though, since the system's already been set).

I haven't updated the Older Releases table for all my releases to keep you up-to-date with this system yet - it's a recent change to adapt to Mojang's changes to how they're approaching dot updates. I'll do all that in the future once the upcoming Project 521's complete.

Me working when everyone around me starts popping up covers of ABBA's you-know-what a bit too early: (PS: I'm okay with the song, I just find it to be a bit annoying calling it a day in advance, ya know?)

I think you should give this a read.
Gives you a pretty good insight as to why vanilla mechanics are made the way they are made.

So I learned VBA to automate some Excel files for one of my datapacks. It looks a lot nicer now and has no errors caused by me messing up when I added them all manually from before, which is nice. (we don't talk about the Black Sheep Head, lads)
Also, I can reliably add the 3072 Tropical Fish Heads I'd promised I'd add in a future update in the Excel file automatically now, and be confident that there would be no inconsistencies in the head icons.
This is just me trying to make sure I get the best stuff out there once it's finally out. If you like what I've made, I could really use the support if you can on Patreon. Thanks!

Useless trivia time: As of 1.20.4, including the experimental blocks:
There are 372 blocks in game that doesn't have any blockstates.

Native English speaker is far from 100% effective in ensuring proper usage of these.

This pallette vs pallet vs palate might help…
Alternatly a mnemonic [memory aid]:
► pallETTE is a French spelling thus relates to art 🙄
► paLLet has two "L's" (like the tines of a forklift)
► paLate has one "L" (like a tongue)

I feel like this might become a routine at this point, but Cyprezz, my releases are marked as Monetized Download again. Sorry for the troubles it might cause you in this holiday season!

I determined why it happened and patched yesterday. A moderator added a variation of a pateron.com url to our monetized filter list. This runs code that retroactively applies the new entry to past submissions. That retroactive script wasn't honoring the exceptions. I fixed and so it shouldn't happen again.

TheDiamondPlayables replied to Cyprezz's comment below 2023-12-17 20:23:49

I wonder why it keeps on happening sometimes. It's secret site code though, I get that I won't get to know about it.

Sigh, should be good again.

I was surprised by this: Appearantly Mojang pulled the plug on Dungeons just 3 years after its release. Yeah, they actually did that. Read the source - it's at the end of this official post.

Wait, I've been making content for 3 years already?
Time flies when you're having fun huh?

Update: The landmine change I'd mentioned a few updates ago has a bug report, which is now marked as Working as Intended. It's not all bad though - they've also marked a related bug as Important (which means there'll be an official alternative to the change once that bug is fixed).
The fix will most likely come when Minecraft 1.21 comes out, so I'll revert the temporary changes I've made to Villager Names in Version 21-1 whenever Minecraft 1.21 comes out - which might be quite a ways into the future, but that's just how long Mojang updates takes I guess.
PS: making quality stuff takes time. There's so much consideration that goes into new Vanilla updates so it'd fit a much wider target audience, so I'm not complaining on the update times.
I'm just glad they've noticed the problem and are fixing it as soon as they can.

Give me a guess as to how many blockstates in total Minecraft has.
I'll give you a hint. The game currently (excluding upcoming blocks) has 1003 blocks.
I'll let you know what I got once I've finished building my massive library of all the blockstates of every single block the game has to offer, updated each version. I need something like this to help me enhance projects that has tons of cases to design answers to, like BlockSeat's "sit on any block" mechanic, or Minespenser's "mine every mineable block" thing, and will help me a lot with making new projects with a similar criteria (I got a lot of those in my list).

PS: If you want me to keep making insane-level stuff like this, I could really use the help!
Any support you can offer on Patreon helps me make more datapacks for everyone as well as maintaining my current roster with new features designed specifically for each Minecraft update. Your name will be listed on the Awesome Board of Patrons, and you'll get to see my new creations/mega-updates earlier than others!
I really want to make more stuff like this - I got a lot more in my list of ideas that I can't wait to bring to the table.
I'm just annoyed that I can't spend more time on this than what I wanted to - gotta work to pay all that living costs sadly.
But that's it from me for now. Have fun everyone, and I'll see you all with more updates soon!

PS: This is me taking that "you like Minecraft name every block" thing to the 4d space.
Now name every block state that every block has in Minecraft. LOL
