Thanks everyone who came to our talk at ACMI :) I had a lot of fun. Thanks everyone at ACMI for your hospitality and @astroblob.bsky.social for being such a wonderful moderator!!

Edited our @modfest.net talk for fullscreen slides, chapters, and okayish captions: youtu.be/b_x-Ic2fqm4

I love how AI bros keep going back and forth between "AI let's anyone easily do stuff" to "you're prompting it wrong, you clearly don't have the MAD SKILLZ required to use this tool!" Is it easy or hard?? You can't have both!

It's the final weekend of ModFest: Toybox! Last chance to jump on the server, demo mods, vote for your favourites, and play games like phantom fishing and capture the frisbee! Whether you can make it or not - be sure to check out this video by blur covering all submissions! youtu.be/93ohfS6KoZQ

"[This website is] our attempt to write an introduction to plurality that also feels like a welcome ... to systems for whom a welcome feels long overdue." "We're plural, as are our co-writers, and many of our friends. Their feelings, and the reality of their experiences, is what lines these pages."

The ModFest: Toybox Showcase is now live! Come check out demo booths for 64 brand-new minecraft mods, 200 collectible vPets, and a wonderful new 18-track OST! Join instructions in #️⃣announcements on discord, modrinth pack later today! discord.gg/hJCAxKBrcA?e... distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

our submission for toybox is (chain-collapsing) Dominoes! modrinth.com/mod/dominoes

Bring out your dollhouse and DOUSE IT IN TOY CARS because it's time for ModFest: Toybox! ModFest is our regular no-pressure Minecraft modding and building jam, this time with the theme: Make ONE "toy"! What's a toy? What's a ModFest? your questions answered (and more raised) at modfest.net/toybox

Come check out our Shattered Stopwatch and Starcaller booths at BC25! They're both single-item micro-narrative mods ^^ stopwatch has lots of little details, and starcaller is very minimalist and about Vibes (we also have simple booths for Surveyor, Portable Crafting, & Inventory Tabs!)

Origins Minus 2.4.0 is out! Every generic "i" tooltip badge has been removed. With information moved into descriptions, symbolic badges, and specialised tooltips. Also, ALL powers now have matching sfx and particle trails - and some origins too. modrinth.com/mod/origins-...

We have a mod at this showcase - go check out the (kinda basic) booth for our puzzle-platformer mod Shattered Stopwatch!

it's Hoofprint - a minimalist world map for minecraft! Press M to view a pannable world map with a vanilla style - plus biome colours and transparent water. It's also integrated with Surveyor for map sharing, server landmarks, and even globally visible players! modrinth.com/mod/hoofprint

it's Antique Atlas - a stylized world map for minecraft! Press M any time to open a world map made up of pixel-art tiles depicting biomes, terrain, and structures. Our partial rewrite polishes the UI, adds colored markers, and integrates with Surveyor for map sharing! modrinth.com/mod/antique-...

it's Inventory Tabs - block and entity tabs for minecraft! Click a tab from any screen to swap to another screen around you - anvils, chests, donkeys, you name it. Our rewrite has a refreshed UI and fully modpackable configuration system - plus a few extra tricks! modrinth.com/mod/inventor...

it's PicoHUD - tiny peek-view basic info for minecraft! Hold down a key (left alt by default) to peek at your current coordinates, facing direction, biome, and time and day. It's great for avoiding the debug info overlay - try it out! modrinth.com/mod/picohud

it's Portable Crafting - easy workstation access for minecraft! Open any simple crafting station just by clicking it. You can freely configure which workstations can be used on the server, and even add new ones from mods if they're similar to vanilla! modrinth.com/mod/portable...

it's Origins Minus - accessible character flavours for minecraft! Choose an origin to add flavour to your player character, and reduce friction and difficulty in some aspect of the game. Origin abilities add variety to traversal, combat, and even attrition - check it! modrinth.com/mod/origins-...

it's Tinkerer's Smithing - an equipment rebalance for minecraft! Repair unenchanted tools and armor in the crafting grid, and enchanted items at an anvil at no stacking XP cost. Items can also be upgraded through each material, and named to avoid accidental breakage! modrinth.com/mod/tinkerer...

it's Switchy - server-side pluralkit for minecraft! Switchy lets you hotswap player data like nicknames, skins, inventory, and location! It's for systems, RP servers, account sharing, videos, etc - and you can toggle what gets swapped on a per-player level to suit! modrinth.com/mod/switchy
