Branding Refresh & Blog

Blog

This blog is now a thing! Some older posts from other community projects will make an appearance here, so that they can be preserved.

The type of content you can expect here will be:

• Update posts (just like this)
• Longer features on parts of the project
• Changelogs, usually tied to a Minecraft Update

Tag Line

Since the founding of Gamemode 4, we have been using the tag line:

No Mods, Just Modules

Since the move away from command blocks towards datapacks the use of the word Modules did not make much sense anymore. We are now going to use:

Creating magic using Datapacks

If you spot anywhere that still seems to use the old tagline, give us a ping on our discord!

A new thumbnail style

A lot of our thumbnails do not show you what the video is about. Thanks to fantastic work by @Dennis-0 and @ToffeeMax, we are now working towards creating a new style. Below is an example for our module, Sweethearts

Wiki Changes

The front page of the wiki has had a update. Hopefully this is more enticing compared to the previous layout.

As always, we are looking for contributors to help keep things up to date. Ask in #wiki-chat on Discord for more info.

GitHub

This Blog & LinkTree

This blog and our LinkTree can be viewed on GitHub.

We’d happily accept contributions/fixes. Even better, if it is one of the issues for feature requests that we have created!
