New pinned post time.

My name is Jacky, I'm an aroace programmer, and I love dragons. My tumblr is pretty much a nerdy gamer/coder page with the occasional parrot. The most consistent long term games I've been into are FFXIV and Minecraft, but or whatever else I'm playing at the time could easily end up here. I'm over 18, but my page will be completely SFW. I also don't post real world events or politics, this is meant to be a comfortable little nerd space.

If you're interested in my FFXIV characters, this blog does have a characters page. It's just not updated very often lol. You can also just ask me questions whenever. I play on both the EU servers and the NA servers. My Minecraft stuff is pretty varied. I recently launched a server that's been doing well, if you're interested in playing on Starlight Supernova you'll want to join the Discord via this link here. In addition, I make mods and stuff. You can find all of that on CurseForge and Modrinth. Right now it's mostly small stuff, but my dream eventually is to make a dragon mod. If you really like any of my creations, feel free to donate on KoFi. Everything is tagged pretty much as what it is. Games will always be tagged with their name, so if you don't like a specific one you can filter it out pretty easily. Newly released FFXIV patches are tagged with their patch number so you can avoid spoilers.

Me: I wish someone would update this mod Also me: wait I can do that And that's how I submitted baby's first pull request bc I wanted a Minecraft mod updated XD

No one banned me from the track pad, I really do just need to replace my tablet pen.

My pfp was the first drawing I did of this design though so I wanted a full body/reference and I like it enough to post online. My friend pointed out refs are usually better without shading, but that’s fine I can hide layers and export another one if I buy any art lol.

I’m still workshopping who she is as like a character, but I’ve been playing with this design in my head for months.

Minecraft Resource Pack: Horse Colors

Wow I've been productive lately. Anyway, I'm a horse girl and wanted some general improvements + more colors in Minecraft horse textures. So I did it myself. As usual, pack is on both Curseforge and Modrinth!

Tweaks to vanilla colors include: accuracy changes (making appaloosa spots not uniform, black points on bays, etc). The additions via ETF add variety. Markings can affect the mane and tail, and even have blue eyes in some cases! I also changed the saddle to look more like a saddle. The image gallery on each site has every altered and added texture for you to view, but I'll share the group shot I have here for you:

[heretic-altias]

I just learned they changed the 'bedrock back' horse marking variant ( (as I called it, I know its legal name is black dots) and thank god that has vexed me since 1.6 came out. I ride horses irl and I cannot figure out what it's suppose to be unlike all the others. The new version doesn't answer any of my questions bc it still doesn't make sense as an irl horse pattern but it DOES look more like spots and less like they slapped bedrock on its back and does look really nice on white horses in particular by creating a black and white appaloosa look.

I saw people mad about the change though and I have to assume they've never seen a horse irl lol. Every horse lover I know always hated that marking.

ALSO related to this, I'm trying to make a horse resource pack and I legit have no idea what to do with that marking. Do I replace it with a realistic one entirely to go with my new realistic horse color variants I'm adding? Do I create a black spot marking that looks like it could be on a horse even though such a thing isn't realistic but would fit better if your friend still had the og textures on?

Minecraft Mod: Hellhounds

New mod! I got consumed by hyperfocus for an entire day and made a mod to add packs of hellhounds to the nether. How common they are is configurable! On both CurseForge and Modrinth, but Modrinth hasn't approved it yet as of writing this post so that link might not work right away.

It's pretty cool, all the hellhounds follow an alpha hellhound who will command the pack to attack players, piglins, and other things. But if you kill the alpha the pack disperses and you can tame the individual hellhounds like regular wolves.

Fabric only right now, but I plan to do a neoforge port soon.

I'll make a video demo later, for now here are the pics:

Oops I dropped him

[heretic-altias]

I need to write a new pinned post sometime. Pls hold while I figure that out.

[heretic-altias]

I still want to know why hundreds of poogies can just cross the meridian. How spooked were those things? And why did the giant wall not stop them? Do farm animals usually vanish forever into forbidden land and everyone just deals with this?
