So the food update's still taking longer than expected and I'd rather not keep people waiting too long, so I think at this point I'll just upload it in parts. I might have it ready this week, so stay tuned.

Yay! I was hoping you would! Are you doing a June Bonus Chest??

Not necessarily a bonus chest, although along with what i had in mind, I might toss in a few suggested items as well since ive lagged behind on them a bit. I'll post a video when I do though.

So is custom shields still a go or nah

It is. I just have to make a substantial amount of them first lol.

Also just did a tally of the amount of food items completed so far... It's over 300. (352 to be exact)

SO. It looks like the latest preview release of Optifine supports custom item models! This is going to solve most if not all of Itembound's compatibility issues with other resource packs, and now I can properly integrate custom shields without having to make them a separate addon pack. It also opens up a world of possibilities with new items.

I'll probably talk about some of it in an impromptu video after I'm done with some of my studying today.

Speaking of shields. I'm going to delay the update a little bit (sorry!) to add some in. I counted up the items I'd finished so far for the update, and it puts Itembound's total at 961 items. We're 39 away from 1000 so I figured I might as well add some extras in there to reach that milestone. And hey the channel hit 1000 subs recently too.

Thanks again to all of you for your continued support

*thinking intensifies*

BTW June's bonus chest may be including some much requested Steven Universe goodies

The shields look so good, also are you thinking about crossbows? (I watched your video time ago and I saw the long list of ideas)

They won't be in this update, but now that custom model swapping is possible, I'm definitely going to work on them in the near future.
