I know full well that I've got an uphill struggle when it comes to marketing Various Types, because it's 2024 and everyone already uses Origins and thinks it's the bee's knees (and to their credit, Origins is a good mod), so you'll forgive me for harking on about VT but I do earnestly believe that it is more than viable as a competitor of the aging popular mod.

All this was true as well back when what is now Various Types was part of Various Oddities (which itself enjoyed some considerable popularity whilst Origins didn't share space in the same modloader), but I'll try and break it down a bit to drive home why I think it's worth giving a look:

First, it doesn't work like Origins. In Origins, you choose (or are randomly selected) a "origin", of varying levels of "impact" usually between 0 and 3. Depending on server config, you might get another one after dying, but that's it. This means the range of gameplay is only as diverse as the datapack in use, because each player is locked into just one component.

Various Types, in stark contrast, actually presents the player with a full-blown character creation system. You choose a species, which is similar to an origin, and are then able to choose templates that modify it. Moreover, those templates can be stacked on top of each-other, in different orders and with different results. So whilst the range of gameplay is still limited by datapack, it is roughly combinatorially massive. The default species and templates that presently ship in the alpha, by itself, theoretically offer up to 286 builds (template conditions permitting). The server has a "power" setting that helps to constrain how drastically overpowered characters can be, but the variations possible without even breaking 5 power are staggering against the dozen or so origins that Origins ships with even today.

This ultimately means that players are always able to be at least a little different to one-another. Even if they share the same species as the foundation of their character, an Insectile player is quite distinct to an Aquatic one.

Even among the less-impactful templates, a Gravekin Orkin (essentially a still-intelligent zombified piglin) has some stark distinction from a Reptilian Orkin (roughly a lizardman). Though personally, I'd rather not get on the bad side of either one of them, especially if they just heard me call them piglins...

Secondly, and by absolutely no means least, the core component of the mod (the character sheet) has intentionally been constructed such that it is incredibly easy for others to expand beyond its current and original confines.

Want to build a magic mod and need to track what spells people have and how much mana? All you need to do is register a couple things to the right registries, and it'll work just fine. Want to build a class system on top of it and player an Othall Ranger or Muckie Druid? Same thing, same ease.

In essence, and with no shred of hyperbole, Various Types has the capacity to be the foundational element of any conceivable per-player customisation mod. Just as long as people give it a chance.

Thirdly, the laborious devotion to clean visual aesthetics. I'm not gonna give Origins much sheet for this one, it's very much a product of its age from when Minecraft didn't really support anything that wasn't a texture rendered on a repeating dirt background.

But Various Types really fits in with the more recent era of Minecraft UI. The character creator screen alone really deserves a look. Each species can be given a distinct background to complement its lore or function, such as the Crioch species being from the End and therefore having an End City as their background, versus the sunny green forest background used by the Overworld-native Linn species.

Every species, template, type, or ability can even be given custom lore text. All of them. The sheer volume of options for RP alone are staggering.

Oh, and did I mention that your avatar is visible in the creator screen? As well as the character sheet display screen?

Which doesn't sound like much on its face, you can see your skin in your inventory screen all the time after all. Except that's not actually a player being rendered in either screen.

It's a custom entity. With a custom model. That can play animations.

Every time you open that screen, your avatar will wave at you to say hi. Stick around on it long enough, and you'll even see them strike a pose right out of a fighting game or casually sit down for a moment.

You can even see what your build will look like in full on the character sheet screen before you finalise it.

And that screen is itself no slouch. It prioritises clean minimalism whilst still giving access to every detail of a given build.

Which is great, but especially so because Various Types has four favourite ability keys (which you can assign activated abilities to quickly and easily from the ability menu, from which you can also just click on any ability to activate it) and absolutely no limit on how many abilities you can have. Passive OR activated.

It's really more comparable to the UI screens of Minecraft Dungeons or Legends than anything on offer by any other mod in the same niche.

Seriously, go check this mod out. It's in alpha right now, but more or less the only thing missing from it is just more abilities, and I've got a list as long as my arm of those to implement.

15 Questions for 15 Friends

Tagged by my mutuals @emery-matsushita-vt and @florahydevt!

Are you named after anyone?

IRL? Yes! I share a first name with both of my biological grandmothers, and my middle name came from a mixture of my great grand mother and my great aunt.

As my persona? I didn't do it intentionally, but I love Dolly Parten's Jolene and I share a first name with her and molly is what all female cats are called.

When was the last time you cried?

Probably a few days a go. I'm more emotional than normal during the warmer moths.

Do you have kids?

I don't; and I do not want any.

What sports do/have you played?

Does dodge-ball in elementary school count?

Do you use sarcasm?

Yes.

What is the first thing you notice about people?

I suppose their eyes and vibes.

What's your eye color?

My persona has razzmatazz eyes, my IRL eyes are the same shit brown my deadbeat, sperm donor of a father had.

Scary movies, or happy endings?

Scary movies, but I prefer ones with happy endings. Funnily enough, I prefer bitter-sweet or tragic endings when I'm writing.

Any talents?

Masking so well that my interests, sense of humor and boundaries are not the same as what they are with my actual friends and those I'm genuinely close to.

Oh, and singing, writing and drawing.

Where were you born?

Earth.

What are your hobbies?

Playing the sims, playing minecraft and toram, writing and drawing.

Do you have any pets?

4 cats, 1 dog. If we're counting the stray cats I feed, 8 cats, 1 dog.

How tall are you?

I barely scrape out of 5'1.

Favorite subject in school?

Economics and psychology, but that's just by default; every other class and/or teacher was Bad™.

Dream job?

Considering my anxiety is too intense for me to do any "real" job, vtubing. I always wanted to get an income from something I enjoy doing, and I'll be able too very soon.

I'm tagging nobody; if you see this post and want to do it, go for it!

The fact that there are people who can see the VT logo and not instantly be hit with A Million Pages Of The Most Wild Lore Ever Stored In Their Long-Term Memory is still wild to me. What do you mean you can see OG Minecraft flowers and not hear someone screaming about their war in your head, what do you mean you didn't name your pocket knife to be like Jimmy Casket, what do you mean you can hear the phrase "baby teeth" and not burst into song-

[miiilowo]

i was severely mentally ill over venturian's skyrim gameplay. any older vt fan i have talked to before hasn't watched it. i don't like that he used a mod to make lydia "prettier" but his dark elf character was my 9 to 11 year old bisexual awakening

yeah, same, everybody i meet usually just watched the gmod or minecraft stuff but i was knee deep in his skyrim stuff. half the time when i think about skyrim i remember some batshit mod he added as being part of the base game because of it

[crab-overlord]

VT is making me a little crazy rn.

Things influencing this piece:

"nerdy prudes must die" from npmd

"not strong enough" by boygenius

"requiem in d minor, k. 626" by mozart

substack essays I've been reading

"dies irae" by verdi

the concept of shadow knights from minecraft diaries

and obviously, the ballad of songbirds and snakes

🚨🎦🟦 Livestream Alert 🟦🎦🚨

Gurella Minecraft Stream I'm building a tree house I'm using VTS because my computer can't do modded MC and VNyan at the same time lol

[poltertoast]

I had a recurring dream for the first time in a while. I was playing some minecraft, roblox hybrid game and the VT siblings who I was friends with (one of the sisters I think) joined and Jordan burned my entire village to the ground

There were also Dinosaurs but they don't matter much

[taleblrlorekeeper]

I just realized that the VT channel turns 10 years old in exactly a week and now idk how to feel cus like I got into VT EARLY. Like I watched their minecraft mods before watching their gmod stuff. I wanna say roughly around 2014 or so?

I’m feeling many emotions and most of them are conflicted 0(-(

[jinruinokibo]

HE doesn’t know what’s been happening for the past days but is the killer caught and dead ?
