Who the hell am I?
I am many things, but of those most likely relevant to you - a Minecraft mod developer and content creator. I am widely recognized for my mods, which have dozens of millions of downloads combined. I have authored well-known mods such as Forgotten Relics, Enigmatic Legacy and No Chat Reports.
I have a particular passion for legacy modding. Most of my experience as a Minecraft player was on modded 1.7.10, and this is the version I could never entirely let go of. It was there that I started actively experimenting with mod configs, and then more elaborate tools such as MineTweaker and Mob Properties, in an attempt to create truly unique modpack experience. When these tools stopped being sufficient I turned my sights to modding, and as such my first mod was coded. With only a few simple items to serve as crafting ingredients - it wasn't much to look at. But such was the beginning of my path as mod developer, and I still cast an occasional longing sight in the direction of these simpler times. I do not play Minecraft much any longer, but when I do, it is usually on that dusty, old version.
In my time, I spearheaded the community-driven investigation into the chat reporting system, announced as part of Minecraft's infamous snapshot 22w24a. I posted a few videos on my YouTube channel in an attempt to raise awareness about this system, as well as explain countless flaws and concerns it had. Those remain my most viewed to date. There are also a couple articles I wrote on the subject, which you can find in the publications section below.
These days you can find me tending to my Discord server, where I chat about all things human, as well as announce new developments in my projects. I continue to maintain my existing projects, insofar they remain in-demand. Occasionally I stream on Twitch, mod development and games alike. Feel free to hit me up on either of these platforms to say hello.
