Stuck in an infinite Lore Loop...
Nice work today *****.

You continued working on your datapack ***** *****.
You looked at the lore of the Tome item. (The lore is just the name of the area where text is stored onto an item). Your idea is that the selected rune will be visible w...

More progress on the infusions with *** today! We're on track for a late-May event.

Today *** worked on the weather-related buffs for the School of Elements while I got ******** working.

I'll be out next week, but *** should continue working on:
- Integrating ******** into an a...

Awesome work today ****!

You continued working on your ********** project, focusing specifically on getting the respawn plates working. Now, when you step on an iron pressure plate (that has power level **) you get instantly teleported back to your last checkpoint. You found o...

Getting To-Dos To-Done! 📋️✅️

Awesome work today ********!

The goal for today's class was to start our to-do list so you can push your datapack to being done!

The first item was building and decorating, which we decided can be pushed to a bit later and be done between classes...

Today ***** and I focused on a lot of small improvements:

1) We made the miniboss room generate at the end of the level and programmed its doors to open
2) We fixed up the throwing knife/dart and...
3) ...also added a new "replaceable" tag that allows throwables to be mounted wi...

Pickaxe Special Ability

Nice work today ****!

After setting up the main function of the pickaxe, it is time to look at it's special ability. Your idea is to have it shoot a projectile that travels until it hits a mineable block, and then instantly breaks it. The downside is t...

Boosting To Dos

Great work today *****!

You started out by showing me your model replacements in Sonic Adventures, which I always enjoy seeing!

Then, you created a texture for the next hoverboard ability: the BOOOOOST!
We had a good discussion on balance and best ways to imple...

Nice work today *****!

Despite some technical issues with getting Minecraft launching, you were still able to do a little bit on the hoverboard datapack.
Once we got a Minecraft working, you looked at fixing a bug leftover from last week. The culprit? swapped , meaning th...

Awesome work today ****!

You focused on getting the respawn wand fully functional. Your idea was to have an item to teleport to your last check point, that way you don't have to worry about players getting stuck, or losing too much time walking back.
First, you built the custom...

Today *** and I reviewed how the event went and talked about some plans for improving the datapack for the second round later on!

We identified and fixed a bug with necromance/rapid, and we also identified another bug which prevents two infusions from being put on the same item....

Charging up Ideas for the Charger

Awesome work today ****!

Today you got started on the charger, which is going to be the machine you use to charge both battery cells and tools.
You created a recipe, which involves an energy cell. This recipe gives us a spawn egg that you rema...

Even though *** was feeling sick today, we still got to play around with more new cool stuff. As the models for our gauntlets continue to improve, so does our dialog system. We now have accessible buttons for players to choose their team and kit while in the lobby, and we've star...

*****************************************

****************** **********!

The primary goal for today was to get the charger to fill up energy cells. You already had most of the number logic done, so it was time to move onto the display.

To get the display working, you had to p...

More good progress back with *****!

Today we updated our packs to 1.21.6, then proceeded to do a test run to make sure everything works. We then proceeded to add new loot rooms, new loot, and tinkered with adding the new (pictured!) mimic enemy!

Looking forward to continuing wo...

Good day today as ***** and I continued work on the Tundra level! This time, we've added new loot tables for enemies, got some new flora in our map, added custom tundra-themed enemy spawns and started work on our tundra item table.

I'll be out next week, but we're making really ...

Today ****** and I hotfixed an issue that was causing lag spikes on the Recess server from our pack. We also talked about best practices when it comes to checking the data of entities.

Then, we went through how to create overlays to make datapacks work in multiple versions and u...

Nice work today *****!

We decided it was best to update to the latest version of Minecraft today. This meant that the resourcepack broke and your amazing models got unlinked from the items in game. (Below is the result of that...)
But you worked on relinking them, and working ...

One of the key problems with the InfBlocks enchantment is the possibility of duplicating blocks. We did a bunch of code cracking today and figured out how to figure out if a piston is moving one of our infinite blocks so that we can move our marker along with it to catch the item...

(Well, technically speaking)

As of today, you can generate a totally random jungle level, it will place you at the start, and you will have to navigate to the end. At the end, the level will end and bring you to the item reward selection.

Very proud of our work and looking forw...

It was fun working with you today ********!

Today you continued work on the King Husk's pyramid. At the bottom of the parkour pit, you added a trial spawner that will definitely capture players who miss a jump by surprise! You decided that the perfect mob is a baby husk who wi...

Awesome work today *****!

You started out by taking a look at finally being able to craft multiple skins for your hoverboard. Now, you can choose which hoverboard design you craft, currently either the main hoverboard or the Batboard™️. What is cool about the way you set thing...

With our new mana system working, *** and I turned our eyes to making the enchantments shiny again. Made some good progress thinking about how to improve infblocks and patched a couple of exploits while doing that.

While I'm gone for the next two weeks, *** should work on:
- Add...

Today *** and I did a full player walkthrough of the datapack and identified what (very few) pain points remain to fix. They are:
- Polishing the book
- Making sure everyone in the server gets a free book (using tags)
- Adding a crafting recipe for the basic book
- Adding some vi...

Battery Recipes and Deciphering Documentation

Awesome work today ****!
You first installed a couple libraries that we will be using so that your datapack will be useable with others, so that players can combine and make a great overall pack!
You then started implementing the r...

What a hugely productive day today! We're having a lot of fun implementing a bunch of new infusions for our players in our upcoming event. We've now added a rooting infusion, done a bunch of work on the School of Chronurgy (Time magic!) as well as some good progress on the School...

Today *** and I investigated upgrading to 1.21.5, but decided to stay on 1.21.4 for a little bit after seeing the massive changes that were implemented.

Once we settled into the version we're using, we implemented a robust system for custom potions! This allows not only for real...

Productive day as *** and I:
1. Upgraded our datapack and resource pack to 1.21.6 (easily!)
2. Brought in the models *** has made in his other classes and made them compatible with our dynamic item definition
3. Tried out the new "dialog" feature added in 1.21.6 as a rudimentary ...

COMBOS!

Today *** and I fixed some bugs and added more SVFX as we progress our way towards the next big event. One thing we added today has been a long time coming: comboing infusions on a gauntlet! We had so much fun today running around Grasping and Blinking at the same time.
...

It was great to meet you today *****!

I really enjoyed seeing your custom models for the redstone sword and pickaxe. You laid out a plan for importing your models into the game, and also thought about how the player can obtain them.
Then, you worked on getting them in game so t...

Great spawner troubleshooting today, ********!
You decided that inside the King Husk's maze, there will be spawners that add difficulty and a fun challenge to the parkour section. You worked on getting spawners working, but ran into some issues. We will continue figuring and ma...

Pivoting away from designing game mechanics for a week, we talked about how nice it would be to procedurally generate our levels. This is a brand new venture for both of us, so we spent most of the lesson today reading documentation and playing around with spawning in the vanilla...

Cycling ***** Attacks!

Awesome work today *****!

After trying again to resolve the microphone issue you are having, you continued to work on the ***** for your ***** datapack.
Using relatively complex data manipulation, you now can read the data stored in the *****, including t...

XP Level Load

Nice work today *****!

The goal for today was to finally make some executive decisions for your RPG Skills datapack. The first order of business was to decide what XP system to use, and your choice was: The vanilla XP system.

We talked briefly about how Minecraf...
