Welcome!
Hi, I'm Addie (aka: AddieDaBaddie or Addie Astarr). I am an 18-year-old who creates content online mostly based around Doctor Who, Minecraft, and other SciFi-related topics. I also love other things like trains, photography, and listening to/creating music. I am currently learning Java and HTML, and working on perfecting my pixel art skills!

This is where I'll answer modding-related questions like why I'm on Fabric, why I'm on 1.20.1, and much more!
(Also, sorry if this seems like a lot. This is more for people who are interested in Minecraft modding.)
Before making stuff like AITExtras, I used to use a modding software called MCreator that focused on making Minecraft modding "easy". This was made for Forge, so I was forced to use it. I had already used Forge for a couple of years, but I was getting bored of what it provided. I discovered other mod loaders (Fabric and Quilt) which were newer and had better performance, but seemed to lack popular mods. I found a plugin for MCreator that allowed Fabric porting, so I decided to move over. The plugin was good for a while but eventually limited the software’s functionality. I decided to learn Java (around the time Amble Labs invited me to their team).
I have been using 1.20.1 since day 1 of making Minecraft mods. It's the version I am comfortable coding in. Moving to 1.21+ would require re-learning much of the back-end code. However, 1.21+ introduces new blocks, mobs, items, and advanced features like datapackable features, item components, and vibrant visuals. I eventually want to move to 1.21+ (probably 1.21.8+), just not anytime soon.
No, I will never make something for forge ever again. Why? it's just old, and unoptimized as hell. (what about porting a mod to forge and fabric?) Nope, same answer. Also I do not have the time to maintain 2 versions of a mod. Also neoforge is just a reskined / more up-to date forge.
