Prologue:

This project first started in October 2022, which was also the time that I had started my first attempt to complete a playthrough for my modpack. But one-quarter the way into the playthrough, I realized that the content of the Mo'Creatures mod had very limited Thaumcraft aspects support. Soon I also found that the original entity textures were too detailed for vanilla Minecraft, none of the weapons had any attack damage, and that Kitty Beds weren't rendering properly. This led me to use the CraftTweaker mod to add aspects for Mo'Creatures through a script (which resulted in the Mo' Creatures Aspects project), to backport crazyspacekid's 16x Mo'Creatures resource pack and use it for private use, and to use a Java byte code editor on the Mo' Creatures Mod to solve the weapon and Kitty Bed problem. Later I realized that the Mo' Creatures mod had become open source and everything took off from there.

Epilogue:

To best describe it, this development process felt like converting a machine gun into a laser cannon.

It has certainly pushed my skills as a developer as I originally knew very little Java when first took on this project but the journey itself taught me a lot along the way.

Nevertheless, I need to be practical and I know that I can't sustain this project forever. I feel that I've achieved everything I set out to do, and it's time to bring it to a close.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this development, whether through downloads, staring the repository, helping solve bugs, suggesting features, or through private messages. Your support made me feel that my work was truly meaningful.
