Well, 1.17 is out! So far, I have only been able to do minor changes to the texture pack, which include:

Book UI changed to look like the sketchbook in WHITE SPACE
Small improvements to the TOAST texture
Rooted Dirt has a texture change to resemble SPROUT MOLE COLONY's ground, which compliments Mycelium
Coarse Dirt is retexture purple to compliment the changes made to Podzol to look like OTHERWORLD's ground
Birch leaves are now PINK! I had to change the block's code for this, referencing a texture pack from here since I'm still a n00b at blockbench. This change was made so that you can get pink leaves for the trees appearing in both PYREFLY FOREST and neighbor's room. May change it to MAGENTA if it works better with the pack.

So far, I really am trying my best to create randomized textures for witches so that they can free up space for other enemies, creating a custom model for slime blocks so only one of th faces has a HUMPHREY face, which means more experimentig with blockbench (rip) I will also be fixing the slimeball texture to work better with in-game textures

I still am really confused about why my texture pack crashes optifine, and I may need some help to make it compatible, since I do want to play with both on to make sure they work together and there aren't any issues texture-wise.

I still don't know if I'll translate ths texture pack for bedrock players, but I'll try my best to do so! Bedrock was my first minecraft platform after like a uh.... maybe 7 yr hiatus? I feel like I need to make it for my bedrock frens.

I'll probably be asking for actually experienced moders/texture pack makers to make the final changes to my texture pack, because I really to want to make a quality product for these two games I adore <3
