Hooray for 10k!

As of an hour or so ago, my plugins/mods have been downloaded over 10,000 times! 🎉

Being the start of January, you see lots of people talking about resolutions. I think they’re kind of bunk, to be honest. You know what I don’t want to do in the depths of winter during the laziest two weeks of the year? Initiate self-development. It’s much easier to start somewhere in the middle of the year so that you can use the new year as more of a checkpoint rather than a starting line. I’ve been going on a September-August schedule and it really reduces the pressure and also feels like I have more time to do stuff even though it’s literally the same amount of time.

I bring this up because this year I wrote in my 24-25 goals document: “10,000 Minecraft downloads” and it only took 4 months! I believe I was sitting around 5,000 at the time; and I’ve been at this since July 2022, so I thought 10k was somewhat ambitious. I’m bad at math, but I think that’s like an 800% increase in download rate! (If it took 2 years to go 0-5000 and 4 months to go 5000-10000? That seems right. Idk I went to saxophone school.)

Thank you for your downloads. Thank you for the support. I hope to keep making neat stuff that people enjoy. ⛏️

I’ve included the project/platform breakdown below so you can see how we got here.

Looking Back…and Forward!

Let’s get the housekeeping bits out of the way up front:

  • SDS Fabric has been updated to v1.2 for 1.21.2+
  • Catnip (Fabric) has been updated to v1.0.1 for 1.21+
  • Wigot has moved to Modrinth (from SpigotMC) for future updates
  • STFU has moved to Modrinth (from Hangar) for future updates
  • FirstAidificator has moved to Modrinth (from CurseForge) for future updates

Thank you all for your support in 2024! We’re off to a great start so far in 2025, with a lot of projects on the horizon. I can share a few things planned for you to look forward to:

  • Porting Wigot to a client-side Fabric mod (Completed)
  • Porting FirstAidificator to Fabric and updating for modern MC versions.
  • Porting PinIt to Fabric
  • A new “game mode” plugin

I’ve been deep in the mines the last few weeks crafting up a first-of-its-kind mod and I’m super excited to share it in a few months. 🔊🤫

Additionally, I have a little bit of code cleanup to do, but the plugin I made for the 90 Days to Live server should see a public release in the coming weeks. That series was a blast and created a whole new Minecraft experience that I hope other people will enjoy as much as we did.
