Other Projects
Monster of the Ocean Depths
I published my first mod in 2020, which was an interpretation of Mob A - “The Monster of the Ocean Depths” - from the original Minecraft Live mob vote in 2017. It garnered 630,000+ downloads on CurseForge, and was one of the earliest mods to take full advantage of the Fabric modloader, which has exploded in popularity since then.
It features a new water mob which drags prey underwater with its tongue to drown them. It also chomps away at them while doing so. I enjoy making my mods Vanilla-style, and aimed to make the mob fit it as much as possible. I even recorded the sounds for the mob myself by pouring and gargling water!
GeyserMC hybrid Java-Bedrock mod
In the process of learning Bedrock Add-on development, I created a custom mod for GeyserMC - a plugin for Java that allows Bedrock clients to play on Java servers.
Using Fabric modloader for the server-side logic and resource packs for the client side content, I was able to create a hybrid mod that both Java and Bedrock users could play. It features a port of the Watcher from Sculk Infection, custom zombie invasions, custom biomes, a custom boss made of blocks, meteorites, and new weapons. The Watcher entity was made using an armor stand wearing a custom player head as the model, which the server-side Java manipulates!
This mod was created mainly for private use, but it was a unique technical challenge and taught me a lot about Minecraft Bedrock in the process of making it. The mod doesn’t have an official download page, but I have made the repository public.
Self-assembling Structure Templates
I have always liked the concept of moving blocks in Minecraft, especially blocks that assemble themselves into custom structures. I was able to finish a system for this within the context of my Weather & Tornadoes mod, which already supports moving blocks in the form of debris.
The original Weather & Tornadoes mod leaned into moving blocks a little with some experimental items, but never fully explored the possibilities. For version 1.2.9 of my remaster, I implemented a full system for self-assembling block structure templates.
I would love to make this feature into its own mod or add-on one day, as I think there is still so much to explore with it!
