MC Modding Shenanigans

Modding is a lot easier than I thought it would be (just very tedious).

The Work So Far:
Added some more ores/blocks, not done with the pixel art for all of them however. Started separating my custom items into groups (ie. “Ore Group) just to make things easier for myself. Not much else to say because ts takes a long time…

Next Course Of Action:
More items! More pixel art! Need to add more functionality to my blocks (currently they don’t drop a single item and can’t even break them in survival). Still need to do crafting recipes. I think I’m gonna add custom mobs/bosses because I’ve decided I wanted to make this an RPG mod (magic themed because yes!).

Notes:
Figuring out how to display my items properly in Minecraft SUCKED. Spent a whole hour editing “translation”, “rotation”, and “scale” but I finally got it (for only one ingot) and hopefully it won’t be too bad doing the rest of them. Here’s a picture of me accidentally making an ingot too big.

I’ve been pondering a lot about what other projects I could make and decided to make a Minecraft mod!
It has been a huge struggle, so many errors popping up that I can’t find the answers for, hours of configurating IntelliJ in hopes that it would finally work, the Minecraft client refusing to open for whatever reason. After all of those issues, I’ve finally made my first custom item!

The Work So Far:
Nothing really to be honest…Made a sapphire gem and learned the inner workings of adding items to Minecraft.

Next Course of Action:
Adding more items of course!! I also want to brush up on my pixel art (its lacking a lot right now..). Probably going to try and make ore blocks to drop the gems I make and give them actual purpose through crafting recipes.

Notes:
This WAS originally going to be a Kirby-themed modpack but I figured that was a little too far out of reach for right now, maybe in the near future.
