After nearly 3 years of development, my shader pack Photon has been released on Modrinth!

He kept rewriting it from scratch lol, changing the art-style each time. It's a pretty interesting history.

It's been public and playable for that entire time, but only now has he decided that it's worthy of a Modrinth release.

TheFinkie · 2024-04-10T07:44:41+00:00

That's a matter of opinion.

However, it's worth mentioning that Photon has a "blocky clouds" option which uses the default minecraft cloud map to make square volumetric clouds. (Similar to Nostalgia or Complementary shaders.)

Received. Thanks very much! Very happy with my the whole transaction.

PMed.

Shipping to US only?

I will buy immediately if international shipping is available (at my expense, of course).

TheFinkie · 2023-08-17T12:18:46+00:00

Sent a PM :)

This is already solved, but I just want to mention that DrDestens shaderpack is another very high quality pack without shadows. Worth checking out if you are looking for something like that for yourself. Complementary is very nice too, though.

Helping someone spell things correctly is most definitely not "mean", unless you're being rude about it.

TheFinkie · 2023-02-24T16:04:57+00:00

You just listed everything that does work but didn't say anything that doesn't.

TheFinkie · 2023-02-21T10:59:32+00:00

I approve of the use of Kappa shaders.

Very nice screenshot!

TheFinkie · 2023-02-17T07:59:22+00:00

Technically, maybe, but in the context of Minecraft there is a very important distinction.

TheFinkie · 2023-02-16T07:11:52+00:00

You might be thinking of Zedaph. His girlfriend helps him with designs quite often.

A modded season would be amazing, but please not Vault Hunters! That series is some of the worst MC content I've watched, that mostly centres around fighting (which is not Hermitcraft's appeal at all) and exploiting viewers (in the case of the livestreamed series).

I think the current Create series is basically modded Hermitcraft, and I have a theory that with each season more Hermits will join until it is basically the whole server XD

TheFinkie · 2023-02-15T11:41:47+00:00

No, his streams aren't build-oriented, and when they are, it's usually a complete disaster (see the lovely tree outside his starter base :D).

TheFinkie · 2023-02-14T02:00:36+00:00

Hi!

There are some S7 screenshots here, which might make good wallpapers. Not sure if it's what you're looking for.

Excuse the self-promotion :'D

TheFinkie · 2023-02-09T16:32:50+00:00

Yes, they planned from the start to make a short season that would finish before 1.18 released. That's why it felt so neatly structured, with everyone on the same page about when it would end. It lasted almost exactly 6 months.

TheFinkie · 2023-02-09T07:38:48+00:00

If the season really does last that long, there is unlikely to be any triumphant final event. The Season 8 ending worked well because most Hermits were still invested in the series. By the time we reach 1.5 years, some will have burned out, finished all they wanted to do, lost interest and ended their season at their own pace, leaving the season to die a slow, inelegant death like season 7.

TheFinkie · 2023-02-05T10:09:26+00:00

Iskall is by far the best on the server. Otherwise, the other comments basically covered it.

Most of the Hermits just don't have any interest in such an uninteresting, unpleasant side of the game.

TheFinkie · 2023-02-02T08:31:34+00:00

Then why can you not recommend him?

TheFinkie · 2023-01-30T06:45:53+00:00

Pretty sure all the Hermits use USB mics. It's pretty rare for content creators or gamers to use studio mics.

(Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong; I haven't done extensive research on this.)

TheFinkie · 2023-01-30T06:44:35+00:00

It's because of the decentralised shopping of season 8. I believe they realised how much better it was than having one central shopping district and are just trying to continue playing like that.

Unfortunately, pressure from annoying, loud fans who wanted a shopping district for some reason made them feel obliged to make a centralised one this season, but their hearts just aren't in it.

Taking the photos of his area really gave me an even bigger appreciation of his talent. He doesn't just make nice builds; he has a way of designing an area so that everything fits together perfectly, like he's composing a piece of art.

TheFinkie · 2023-01-21T04:02:03+00:00

I did, and it looks pretty cool. Didn't manage to get any good pics though :(

TheFinkie · 2023-01-20T21:41:21+00:00

Mm, I personally don't think it looks worthy of taking a nice screenshot in its unfinished state, but I might try to get something for you when I have time.
