I made a new Minecraft mod. This time for Fabric and Neoforge 1.21.3. I wanted to play with the data-driven enchantments in 1.21+. The name is based on the first enchantment, Attraction, which is essentially the opposite of the Knockback enchantment; it pulls hit mobs towards you. More details are on the mod page (Modrinth, … Read more
Queer people are not going to stop existing just because a fascist won an election. We have not gotten this far just to give up. There is more work to do, and while we may rest and regroup today, tomorrow we will continue to fight for our rights. Let this radicalize you rather than lead … Read more
I want to be challenged in college, but this one class is such that the challenge is actually learning anything. It’s Information Technology Security, which I shorten to infosec (class), and there are multiple assignments due every day of the week. Now, granted, they usually take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete, and some … Read more
I’ve been working on some of my Minecraft 1.20.1 mods a bit a lot lately. As I mentioned in my previous entry, college starts again this week, so I’ve been a bit fixated on coding and getting new features in and fixing bugs before I don’t have the time to. Do note that I mostly … Read more
Yesterday was my 24th birthday. I had a great day, thanks in part to my wonderful girlfriend. We had a fantastic lunch at my now-favorite restaurant, and after we played on the Minecraft modpack I made for her over the course of the better part of this year. She has been encouraging me to create … Read more
It’s been a good week. Although my girlfriend is still struggling with homelessness, she has been able to start working and earning. She’s extremely grateful for my support of her and even spent part of her first paycheck on gifts to me. I’m flattered. When I went to drive her to work on Tuesday, she … Read more
I started summer classes this week. Composition 1 and Music Appreciation. Summer 5-week classes contain the same amount of material that a typical 16-week college course would take, making them much faster paced. I didn’t really understand what that meant in terms of workload until I began the assignments for both classes. I quickly realized … Read more
I’ve been playing around with Zenith Attributes lately and I found that the armor was far more effective than it should be due to a bug. To debug this, I needed a way to quickly do calculations with the damage formula (which has a lot of variables). There’s plenty of Minecraft damage calculators out there, … Read more
Next week is the last week of my first term in community college. It is… very troubling how much I’ve already forgotten from the first weeks of some of my classes. To a degree this is probably normal, and is why we have review assignments and study guides. But it doesn’t make me feel good … Read more
This week in my WebDev class we are learning about Content Management Systems like WordPress. Our assignment is to have a functional WordPress site, but I already have one. So here’s a blog post proving this site is mine.
