This one is really, really dark.

Even if it was $20, would you trust it not to die the instant you plugged it in?

Don't shift the hype machine into overdrive because of this, but you guys may be interested in knowing that I'm going to begin to port Vehicular Movement to a newer version of Minecraft. Most of the models will remain the same but I may redesign them if i cannot find the original model file.

Edit: Unless anyone can figure out how to convert the old models to the new json format I will be redesigning them.

Edit 2: I might be able to use the old models after all. We will have to wait and see....

Edit 3: The sheer stupidity of some of the changes between 1.8 and 1.9 forge enrages me. They made it 3x as difficult to register an item! AN ITEM!!!!!! WHY????????

Edit 4: Woo! It compiles and it doesn't crash so far!

This bridge is a tad long, so I have to post 3 pictures of it.

Perfect timing

Happiness is the emotion I have knowing that I will be getting two kittens this coming weekend.

I just got new internet. Edit: So I've determined that my current Dell laptop does not have gigabit ethernet, which actually makes it so that I do not get the full speed. My old Lenovo thinkpad, however, has a gigabit ethernet card and I end up getting 164 mbps down with it.

Loaf sounds interesting, though I would not be surprised if you have a hard time getting some of these names in many places.

With that taken into account, goldensilver853 is clearly the best username.

Install Optifine and Fastcraft and it should be faster.

Dramatic Skys is an add on pack that will make the skies in your game HD with realistic clouds and lighting. This pack works with any other resource pack, just simply add it over the other pack on the selection screen! This pack also causes no lag, none at all, so even the simplest of computers and laptops can use it easily without issue! This pack will vary a lot from my other packs, as it has MANY skies in it. Every area will have a sky that will vary depending on the biomes of Minecraft. So, in the desert at night, you will see the milky way, but while in the mountains you will see clouds and it won't be clear. This resource pack, as the title entails, will be the ultimate resource pack for sky textures. Mine included. This is the trail version of the pack, meaning it is not finished. There is a Patreon to help support the pack and gain benefits of doing so (Like beta versions). This is a large and ambitious project given there are a total of 79+ biomes as of 1.19x. Each of these will have a day sky, sunset/sunrise, and a night sky; Making your Minecraft World more dynamic and realistic.

New to the pack:

- Animated Auroras
- Shooting stars
- Meteor showers
-Animated Sun
- Color and Fog Maps
- Height based sky textures
- Fabric Support
- Tornados
- More coming soon

New Addition: Tornados!

Ummm, lemme look at my mod in a tick, because I think you keep the models at the same for java, and use the blockstates, textures and icons in .json!

Ok, took a look.
I have 3 folders. Vertually, same as Minecraft in texture packs, blockstates, models and items!

In the blockstates folder, which would be ~/assets/yourmod/blockstates, I have a placeholder.json, and well, I have this inside it

{
    "variants": {
        "normal": { "model": "svm:placeholder" },
        "facing=north": { "model": "svm:placeholder" },
        "facing=south": { "model": "svm:placeholder" },
        "facing=west":  { "model": "svm:placeholder" },
        "facing=east":  { "model": "svm:placeholder" }
    }
}

Then in the blocks folder, ~/assets/yourmod/models/blocks

same thing, a placeholder.json, and in that, it has

 {
 "parent": "block/cube_all",
 "textures": {
 "all": "svm:blocks/placeholder"
 }
}

And then for item, it is the icon for each model. vertually where you would place your icon for a model goes in this .json, for example, my Eternal car, it would be

{
 "parent": "builtin/generated",
 "textures": {
 "layer0": "svm:icons/EternalBlack"
 },
 "display": {
 "thirdperson": {
 "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],
 "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],
 "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
 },
 "firstperson": {
 "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
 "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],
 "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]
 }
 }
}

That is what I got for my .jsons, but the actual models still remain in .java!

Anyways, I also started working on a new mod, which adds random stuff, and well, you are correct, the lights can't go any brighter in your mod since they're at max brightness.

Because I tried, and well, this is as bright as they go!

This tool makes creating JSON files for Minecraft easier if you are a modder. Simply put, it generates JSON files for you based on Mod ID, item/block name, and texture name.

Troubleshooting:

Please verify you have an install of Java. If you do and it continues to not work correctly, please update to the latest version of Java. If you still have trouble please post an issue here.

How to Use:

Run the executable jar file or the executable. When the window shows, type in your mod id into the text field next to the label "Mod ID".

If you wish to use a custom directory, click "..." to select it.

If you want to create an item, type in your item's name and texture name into the two middle text fields. If your item is a tool, click the checkbox that says "Is Tool?". Once you have finished, click the button that says "Generate Item JSON".

If you want to create a block, type in your block's name and texture name into the last two text fields. Once you have finished, click the button that says "Generate Block JSON".

If you used a custom directory, your files will be inside the directory. If not, your newly generated JSONs will be placed into a folder in the same directory as the jar called "export". Your files will be inside the corresponding folders (Blockstates and Models)
