I created Wabi-Sabi Structures, Unwrecked Ships, Revamped Shipwrecks, and Pale Formations. I’ve been developing mods as a hobby since July 2022, and playing Minecraft consistently since 2012. Ask me anything!

I specifically make mods that add structures, so it’s a lot of building and trying to get the style right. I’m not a very artistic person! A lot of the time I get by on making interesting structures rather than pretty ones, lol.
As for the technical half, a lot of concepts generally need hacky solutions to work, and a lot of redesigns to get them to an acceptable place. I push the limits of what structures datapacks are capable of, and a lot of the time, I hit that blockade! There’s been many cool ideas left currently out of the bounds, unfortunately.
Another one I struggle with is game balance. So, so much time is spent in the tweaking phase. Loot is especially difficult! For Pale Formations, a structure mod heavily reliant on its loot tables, I spent over 14 hours just tweaking and testing. Some would say it’s a waste of time, but I’m a perfectionist, dammit! :p
