Catching Up
It has been 6 months since my last blog, lots of things have occurred. This section will go over IRL stuff. I've been going to the gym, working out, taking care of my body and whatnot. Spending 10 hours sitting in front of a computer screen for the latter half of 2023 was not good for me. Been feeling much more happy about myself now so boosting my mental health is a good side effect. Watched a few movies and shows this year. Favourite has to be Dune 2 and Fallout. Recently got into Minecraft Dungeons, as of writing I am on a mission to finish the Echoing Void DLC. I've played every other DLC(except the Flames of the Nether). Once I finish this one I can give my thoughts on it. I know I said I was going to write a final thoughts on Legends, but I decided to scrap that blog. Also been playing Fortnite, Payday 2 and Helldivers 2.
What Now?
In terms of Minecraft related stuff, thanks for the 2,358 followers on Twitter! I'm never calling it X. I've been getting back into making add-ons that I will actually release this time instead of just proof of concepting them and storing them away forever on my hard drive.
I'm currently working on three add-ons:
- SmokeyStack's Super Duper Graphics Pack
- SmokeyStack's Buzzier Bees
- SmokeyStack's World Generation
Buzzier Bees will release ~2 weeks after 1.21.10 releases to assure there's no bugs with the Minecraft update. SDGP has 13524 downloads as of writing, which means so much to me. I can't believe y'all actually would download my pack.
There is also ADK LIB, which is a custom component library. I've also been working on ADK which has been the project that is used to develop add-ons for me. This also explains why add-ons take a bit longer to make for me now. But this has been very useful for me since I don't like writing JSON.
I launched a Ko-Fi page so you can give me donations. These donations help support my work and helps keep my content from using link redirects for downloads.
I also launched a YouTube channel. I wanted to document the Technical Changes for Bedrock but that motivation fell through. But hey, I'll be using that channel to upload add-on trailers now.
Conclusion
So yeah, that's all to catch up on. Nothing big but still a lot of small things that occurred. Focused more on my physical and mental health this past 6 months and working towards on releasing more add-ons. Launched a YouTube channel that is currently dead. Also thinking about launching a Discord server to talk about my projects. Once I finish Minecraft Dungeons, I'll write a blog ranking each DLC(hopefully). That's all I have to say. My name is SmokeyStack and I've been your host.
