Introducing: TMYK

Wigot has a new name: TMYK (The More You Know)! I’ve updated the plugin for more effective searching, but more importantly…

It’s now available for Fabric! Honestly, a client-side mod was always the ideal platform for this functionality; I just didn’t know how to make mods when I made the original plugin 🤷🏻‍♂️. When all you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail, I suppose.

TMYK is available at Modrinth

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.

New Mod – SDS Fabric

The beloved Spigot plugin, now in mod form!

I’m proud to announce that your Minecraft “medical degree” is now honored on Fabric servers. SooperDooperScooper is a convenient way for players to manage mob AI on your server. Never again will trading halls consume all of your tick overhead. Primarily, SDS is aimed at allowing players to de-brain their Villagers and Piglins, but there is much more to be found:

  • Allow Piglins to be de-brained in the overworld, preventing conversion.
  • Villagers will still restock twice daily, but you can modify when and how often they restock–you can even limit those customizations to no-AI villagers as a “thank you” to players doing their part to help server performance.
  • Manage permissions for AI disabling/enabling separately
  • Permissions available for disabling/enabling AI for any mob
  • Snarky repartee

SDS Fabric is available on Modrinth

Mod Update – Oblique 2.0

I wanted to revisit one of my older projects, Oblique. Adapted for Minecraft from Brian Eno & Peter Schmidt’s Oblique Strategies, it’s a rather philosophical (client-side) mod to help you get inspired while building.

The heart of the mod is the same, but I’ve completely refactored the code under the hood to bring it up to my current standards. I also added some nice new colors, sounds, and a time-delay to “encourage” you to take prior guidance more seriously.

Oblique is available for Fabric 1.21 at:
Modrinth

New Plugin/Mod – Catnip

Meowdy 🐱🤠

For your consideration, I’d like to present a new plugin & mod: Catnip!

Catnip chills out the cats. Nothing more, nothing less. I wanted less skittish kitties moseying around the FG83 server lobby, so this plugin was born. Then I thought “Meh, I’ll port it to Fabric as well. Why not?”

You’ll notice that the Catnip download is a Modrinth link. Moving forward, any new projects will be posted exclusively on Modrinth. Any existing projects that are hosted on other platforms (SpigotMC, CurseForge, Hangar) will continue to live there and they will continue to have updates posted there. At some point I’ll maybe add all of that old stuff to Modrinth as well, but that seems like a future-Fingy problem.

New Mod – Thoroughfabric

Good morning, internet.

I recently migrated one of my servers from Paper to Fabric (for some mods we wished to use where there was no available Paper equivalent). One of the things we really wanted to keep was the Thoroughfare plugin that I had just made a few weeks ago, as we really like the vibe it gives to the world. So after many hours of furiously coding in various airports while waiting for some very delayed flights last weekend, I have successfully brought the functionality to a Fabric mod.

Thoroughfabric is functionally identical to its plugin counterpart. Naturally, some changes had to be made due to the different platform, but you’d never notice. You’ll also notice two “versions” available for download: v1.0 for 1.20-1.20.1, and v1.1 for 1.20.2-1.20.4. There’s still no functional difference, but I had to modify the code base for changes to the Fabric API after 1.20.1

Thoroughfabric is a server-side mod for 1.20-1.20.4 and requires the Fabric API mod, downloads are below:

New Mod – Oblique

Oblique is based on Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s “Oblique Strategies” cards, with some slight language changes to make it applicable to Minecraft. From Wikipedia:

Each card offers a challenging constraint intended to help artists (particularly musicians) break creative blocks by encouraging lateral thinking.

A few examples:

  • Repetition is a form of change
  • Do the dishes
  • Try faking it
  • Honour thy error as a hidden intention
  • Ask your body
  • Work at a different speed

Oblique is available on CurseForge for Minecraft versions 1.18 and above using Fabric.
