I want to say thank you to @missghouls​ for her fantastic tutorial series on Youtube for how to make CITs! It was a massive help, and I would not have been able to make anything with out it. Please tag me if you make anything with it!

— the atelier —

by Yog-Sothoth, i haven’t posted here in a very long while!!! but either way, here i am, back with some new shenanigans. while i sadly lost motivation with the 1.14.4 mizuno16 town, i’ve decided that instead of dwelling on that, i move forward and create new things instead, hence this lovely atelier!!! [i’m admittedly super proud of it.] trying out cocricot and miniaturia was something i’ve been wanting to do for a while, hence trying it out in a separate [superflat] world. ofc i’ve tested out the mods [mainly cocricot] before making this build, but i decided that for this one, i try to experiment and use as many of the mod functions that i can think of. in all honestly i’ve fallen in love with the roof and timber frame functions of miniaturia, it gives the whole build so much more detail! i will most likely be using this house as a reference for drawing for my worldbuilding stuffs, too! this is the house that i would imagine my original character, stella pratine [a seamstress], would live in this house, and i kept her in mind whilst building it. hence the sewing machine, the many books, etc etc etc. the absence of a chimney is intentional mind you, since i imagined this was built in modern times and would have a heating system. there’s also no fireplace for there to be a chimney hahah. ofc i must give credit where it’s due; the build is heavily inspired by this one built by hasukko [creator of miniaturia] herself! do check out the video in full: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUEN4oY4YMw - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - this was made on java 1.12.2 with optifine and forge, using the following: - cocricot texture pack - cocricot mod - miniaturia mod - hasukko’s Xmas clothes resourcepack [the armour/clothes in the last photo] the photos were taken using BSL shaders!

i want this CIT once it’s released now whaaaaaa 

Made a few paintings for my cit pack. I’ve never done pixel art before so this was a challenge, but very fun!

[astra-craft]

love the vibe of this so much!! are there other CITs as well? i think i notice cocricot..........👀

Naturalist’s Cabin

As soon as I saw @hana-the-banana​‘s hananacraft CIT, I knew I had to build a little naturalist’s cabin inspired by her butterfly prints.

This little cabin is the perfect place to hole up for a summer, studying nature and cooking tarts and pies from the berries you foraged.

minecraft pack ports: an essay;

I think one of the most frustrating things about being “that cat who showed off CITs on Tiktok” is the blossoming of stolen and re-distributed Java Edition packs for Bedrock and Pocket Edition, like Mizuno’s 16craft, Ghoulcraft, Cocricot and others. I’ve talked about this a lot on Discord because it comes up so often: no, I don’t support packs like that and no, you can’t link it to others on my posts, my server, or my comment sections and absolutely no: I won’t promote your ripped port.

All over Youtube, Tiktok, MCPDL, Twitter, and other shady Mediafire links, folks are distributing ripped and stolen ports of Mizuno’s 16craft, Ghoulcraft, or Cocricot for Bedrock and Pocket Edition. I’ve said that this is stolen work, and often get the pushback of “Why do you care? This isn’t hurting anyone?”

Packs like Mizuno’s 16craft, Ghoulcraft, and Cocricot take creators hundreds of hours. It’s step by step painful modeling, texturing, troubleshooting, coding, and general frustration. These packs are not something folks slap together in a week, these are difficult undertakings that can take days to create a single item.

Creators ask very politely that folks not re-distribute them. They make you hit checkmarks before download affirming this policy. Some creators want to work with you if you are porting to make sure everything is handled properly. Some pack creators don’t speak English very well and it can be difficult to parse the information. If you download these packs for free, you agree not to re-distribute them.

Regardless, this ripping and greedy reupload behavior is so frustrating because of the amount of work authors put into their packs. They do not want their work re-distributed or stolen to make money for someone else, and creators can very much decide that it’s too much work to keep fighting and leave the community.

One day, someone is going to feel like random people are capitalizing and making money off their work and tricking people who don’t know better. 

One day, a creator is going to feel like a bunch of English speakers took their pack and removed them from the equation, from the credit, and from their work.

One day, a creator is going to get frustrated they don’t have control of their hundreds of hours of modeling, painting, texture, and debug work and remove their mod or pack from the community. And Java Edition will be less for it.

I know if I’m frustrated from people stealing my own work, I can’t imagine how pack creators feel to see not just a screenshot, but their models and textures stolen as well. I see thumbnails with my own Java Minecraft builds promoting these ad-infested downloads and it drives me up the wall.

And of course I think this policy can be confusing for new players who’s first experience in Minecraft has been Pocket Edition or Bedrock Edition. It’s understandable to feel left out and left behind from the latest cool thing, and I wish Mojang and Microsoft hadn’t been so greedy and overreaching to flat out restrict CIT and Java mods from PE/BE. But they did, so here we are. 

But let’s talk about someone who did the most fantastic Ghoulcraft port to Pocket/Bedrock Edition: KaoMC. Not only did he get permission from MissGhouls to use her pack, but in order to abide by Mizuno’s terms of service, they completely replaced all of Mizuno’s textures with something similar but unique. This kind of port work is fantastic, and I’m so glad to see that there’s even the smallest possibility for folks to play with CITs in other version of Minecraft.

I’m not talking about fantastic packs like Ghoulcraft BE, I’m talking about the reuploads, the stolen models and textures, the fake ports, the ad-links, the scams.

In short: credit your packs, credit your mods, credit your artists, credit your music, and get proper permissions before moving forward. Credit the work you use or eventually everyone will lose it. The Minecraft community is so welcoming, do the bare minimum of credit and respect so we can keep it that way for everyone who wants to join in, no matter their edition.

// time to try this out...👀 //

It’s finally ready to be released!! Since people showed interest in the CIT items I made, I thought I’d share it publicly, especially the Chinese New Year items heh This is my first time trying something like this, so if there are any issues with the pack or if you have any inquiries, don’t hesitate to dm me! Or drop me an email, that’s fine too :DDDD (0linghana0@gmail.com) link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1p6RDC5VkdmR4qF9OnB4qOQJ8XM1jxVt6?usp=sharing

!! note - this is not a part of the town in progress !! guess who finally decided to use a modded world to build something hahahh so i tried to build a log cabin in a maple forest!! it’s larger than my usual builds but i think it’s a job well done. this has to be the most comfortable house i’ve ever built ngl, i just love the cozy vibe of the place and would absolutely stay there on a cold winter’s day (or night) if it ever existed! also on another note, the 1.16.4 CITs work just fine in a modded 1.16.1 world which is what i was using whilst building this; yet while there’s the problem with the transparent CITs being opaque, on my game it shows as transparent like wha????? if someone knows how this is, do explain!! thank you ♥️ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - this was made on java 1.16.1 with optifine and fabric, using the following: - mizuno’s 16 craft textures + CIT - ghoulcraft CIT by @missghouls - invisible item frames by jadenxgamer - better leaves by jerm and the mods i used are: - terrestria (biomes) - traverse (biomes) - delicious dishes (foodstuffs) - illuminations (fireflies) the photos were taken using BSL shaders!

[astra-craft]

!! note - this is not a part of the town in progress !! this is another collab with another friend whom i’ve shown these resource packs to! we had an idea to take a build my friend made in another world and copy it into another, though some modifications were made...hehe. the exterior design is entirely by my friend; interior CITs were done by myself alongside my friend based on his original build. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - this was made on java 1.16.4 with optifine, using the following: - mizuno’s 16 craft textures + CIT - ghoulcraft CIT by @missghouls  - invisible item frames by jadenxgamer - better leaves by jerm the photos are taken by my friend with BSL shaders!

[astra-craft]

!! note - this is not a part of the town in progress !! i introduced one of my dearest friends to mizuno 16 as well as CITs today, and this is what we both came up with!! exterior credit & some interior credit (the bedroom) was done by him, while most of the interior was done by me :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - this was made on java 1.16.4 with optifine, using the following:
