~ What's on your mind?

Cant believe its been seven months since my last wall post.

Haven't been able to post any packs recently, truly do want to work on more Icony Tweaks - and of course a combo pack for ALL of Icony. Been a bit of a project from the start that I've wanted to complete. Wallposts of mine from years ago had the name plastered about. - REGARDLESS, of this, I recently semi-upgraded from a laptop to a PC, while moving stuff from laptop to a hard drive, to a pc, however, it wasn't working. Having cleared up about 80 gigs on the laptop, it still will not let me move Minecraft Worlds and all my IN PROGRESS, and finished texture packs, it's a lot of stuff and I cannot seem to move it. It's a nightmare and one I don't quite know how to fix. I can of course start fresh but the next Icony Tweaks pack I was working on was already in progress, with lots of the manual type-y bits sorted.

Regardless (I said it again?!) - I have yet to be able to work on it, I don't enjoy starting fresh, working from a formatted base has always worked better for me. I hope I can move the shit, find some sort of solution. Until then.

Radio silence?! (kidding of course, I'll be jamming.)

Monkieeee kidddd familiar talesss new adventureeees

Chat is this real

new pc new me

I'm incredibly deep in the stardew hole so don't expect much

If it gets approved by the moderators of the site I'll include a little Stardew Valley easter egg in my next texture pack :) - already tested and working in game, just need approval.

Stardew Valley 1.6 is only three days away - crazy :D 51st name change is four days

Variated Lily Pads is live, special thanks to Homunculus84 and Coderman932 for helping me out with figuring out the variated textures shenanigans. They have some great stuff, check them out :)

3 years ago before I released my first texture pack I created a different one, it made minor tweaks trying to stay consistent with vanilla - now I am taking both that idea and name and creating Icony Tweaks, which will eventually have a release with every tweaks just called Icony. First one coming today. Worked very hard on a logo design but I've found something I'm happy with.

sneak peak anyone

This feels relevant once again, www.planetminecraft.com/blog/9minecraft-a-problem-that-affects-pmc/

Shot the site an email - hope they take them down, (doubt it)

Frequently see sketchy websits reposting my own and others texture packs - they tend to have incorrect information, sometimes bombard screenshots (new ones) so they essentially can appear thirty times on the Google home page, and while they credit the author, it's in such a way that one you wouldn't want to be affiliated with the website and two, it's unfair. I don't want random websites reposting my packs, the websites are monetized, and typically have sketchy, batey scam adverts. Don't know what I can really do against it though.

Like some websites repost but in a way that its a blog, but the websites I'm referring to repost, grab my in game screenshots, slap there watermark and logo all over it, essentially claiming it as there own, and ensure that you don't have to go through planet minecraft, instead you can simply go through their site.

If anyone has gotten these taken down lmk, doubt it's possible though

one variated pack is done and working, just need actually polish and post and such - but since its launching under Icony Tweaks - a lil series im doing (slash bringing back into my mind) itll need some fancieness

15,000 Downloads on my first texture pack. I will forever remain salty that it is the one pack that blew up, I put so little effort into it. Regardless, yippie :) I put Milestones under my old posts and there's only 1 left to check off now

Nbt data being removed for structural data likely means that my custom map will be broken by 1.21, that being said, i am not fixing it - sad that a lot of maps will likely be version locked now - again
