John Smith Legacy Blog

There have been a lot of updates happening during the past couple months, and we have not updated here about what has been going on. A couple large things that were started last year have finally come into fruition. @Greenhawk837 and @Oddface have both been working on complete revamps of the pack. We have had a lot of community additions and textures added to the repositories. [ Read More ]

So many updates within the same week! We have a lot of great things coming online now. One of the biggest things we have is the offical introduction of the 64x version of the pack. @Greenhawk837 and @TitaN655 have been hard at work creating a 64x version of the pack. We are very glad that they have joined the website and provided downloads for our vanilla page. The vanilla page has been changed to reflect these changes. [ Read More ]

The downloads page has been updated to new download urls. The file hosting has been moved to the curse network, as this allows for easy updating and allows for the packs to reach a wider audience. The hope is that this is a step in increasing the ease of both updating the packs, and getting downloads to people. The custom pack downloads have been removed, as the universals can now cover all the packs. This should simplify downloading and updating. If anybody has any questions please post on the forums and we would be happy to answer them. [ Read More ]

Lots of great textures have been added to the repos! We welcome a new member to the github team. @Oddface has been doing great work on both the 1.6.x branch and the 1.7.x branch. You can see his latest commits and his hard work here. Among other things @Glowstrontium has been welcomed back with open arms to help add textures to the repos. He has been hard at work on updating natura and other mods. @kardain has also been hard at work updating mods, and creating great textures (link, link). [ Read More ]

So there has been a lot of activity on the modded repos in the past weeks. If you take a look at the code frequency chart you can see over the past week there has been a huge amount of additions and changes. Another highlight is the addition of the 1.7.x repo. A big thanks to @kardain for all his hard work and commits to the repos. He really has been adding new content, updating old mods, and getting everything up to extraordinary high levels of quality.
