Howdy, Farmhands!
Boy, it's been a while. I originally posted my procedure and proof of concept post in August of 2024, fully intent on that being My Thing for a good while. Other than finally finishing the data entry (but not the artwork, oops) for the Nether Fish Mod adaptation to go with it, I haven't publicly shared any further development. I am here to tell you that I haven't -exactly- been doing nothing.
What I realized almost immediately, was that I couldn't piecemeal a full project together without the earliest posts looking like nonsense until I finished the other posts to link to. Further down this post, you'll see entries for Nether Bastion and Lava Java adventure sites... but I haven't written those yet. And before I can write those, I should have an idea of what stats the Piglins use and what loot I'm going to adapt. But my focus ought to be on the biomes themselves, which means I need to list out the resources available in them and... You see where I'm going with this. The scope keeps creeping, and if I'm going to follow through on my self-assigned goal of writing 52 blogposts in 2025, preferably spaced out to be weekly, I can't spend all my time writing posts that won't be DONE until they are wetly plopped onto the kitchen table as one cohesive Thing. So here's what I'm going to do.
In hindsight, this post will seem rather silly, but if you're reading this within a couple weeks of posting, you're going to see a number of entries highlighted in this Red Color. This means that there -will- be a link there. Eventually. Instead of waiting for that fated day when this fan project is "done", I'm just going to start throwing them out whenever I reach the end of one, and hope that enough of it is gameable to not be a waste of your time.
I need to stop doing stuff like this to myself.
Until next time,
Farmer Gadda
