I’ve been pondering a lot about what other projects I could make and decided to make a Minecraft mod!
It has been a huge struggle, so many errors popping up that I can’t find the answers for, hours of configurating IntelliJ in hopes that it would finally work, the Minecraft client refusing to open for whatever reason. After all of those issues, I’ve finally made my first custom item!
The Work So Far:
Nothing really to be honest…Made a sapphire gem and learned the inner workings of adding items to Minecraft.
Next Course of Action:
Adding more items of course!! I also want to brush up on my pixel art (its lacking a lot right now..). Probably going to try and make ore blocks to drop the gems I make and give them actual purpose through crafting recipes.
Notes:
This WAS originally going to be a Kirby-themed modpack but I figured that was a little too far out of reach for right now, maybe in the near future.

2nd devlog! (and definitely last)
Had a LOT of issues with my ping command so I spent the last couples hours on that but its finally working. Everything has been linked to github and ready to submit.

1st devlog! (and maybe last since I’m pretty much done)
Mainly did this mission to get back in JS after years of not touching it. Made some simple commands, it was somewhat frustrating because I dislike coding but maybe I’ll start to like it soon as I want to do more projects that involve coding.

4th and last devlog!
The Work So Far!
Everything is done! I’ve (finally) made the USB cutout so I can actually connect my XIAO. Didn’t make any changes to the design because I couldn’t come up with anything else but I’m happy with everything (especially since this was my first time making a macropad). I hope to make more advanced stuff in the next couple of days/weeks!

3rd devlog!
The Work So Far:
The past 8 hours have been used to finally lean towards the Jolteon theme. Still not done, but I’m happy with my design so far. Only recently did I realized I need to fix my entire PCB because i changed my design (altered location of rotary encoder), so I spent the past 3 hours fixing that and everything should (finally) be good. That’s about it, going to try and truly finalize things tomorrow.

2nd devlog!
The Work So Far:
The base of my macropad (case + plate) has been established. I’ve scaled the entire thing up (which came with its own issues that have been fixed) because it felt a little small to me. Still looks very bland but I’ve got some ideas to spice things up. I want to etch designs into the case/plate but I’ve got no idea how to do that (yet). I also decided on a theme for it: Pokemon (specifically Jolteon because its one of my favorite ones). In the next couple hours, I’ll focus on adding details to make the macropad something I’m truly proud of.

This is my first ever devlog! I’ve been very interested in making a project for HackClub for months, but life has stopped me from doing so up until now.
The Work So Far:
I’ve created the schematic and the PCB so far, and I am currently working on the actual design for my macropad. I have never used these applications before (KiCad, Fusion, QMK) so its been a very interesting experience. However, I have enjoyed every step of the way so far. I hope to keep learning and eventually move to more complex projects in the next couple weeks.
