Calm down! You only need to remember one thing!
What? What do I need to remember?
Protect the children! Pine needles! Duck! Stained glass windows! Scream! Wipe the blood from your left eye! Cut the arrow in mid-air before it hits my wife. I can see again! Please make it stop, I can’t breathe! I just need a cool stream! You’re injured! Don’t look down! No, I’m injured? Prioritise the woman with the crossbow! A cool stream! You... No! I, have an arrow in your leg? That’s wrong! I have an arrow in my leg? Focus? Prioritise! I’m so thirsty! There’s an arrow in your left thigh? My left thigh? Prioritise! Kill him first!
That’s more than one thing to remember?
It’s all fine! There’s nothing to worry about. You’re doing great! Stop that crossbow bolt! It’s all fine! Roll to the side and lunge! There’s still 21 children! They’re all still alive!
Apart from the children they killed!
They were killed before you were born!
They were killed before I was born!
Pine needles! A cold stream! A full moon! The smell of flowers! Stained glass windows! A cool breeze! A cold stream! Just a sip of cold water! No, the children need the water! Throw the water bottle behind you and take his knife!
It's all fine! There are still 21 children left alive! The only thing you need to remember is...
Don’t look down!
I looked down…
And there was so much blood? And they were only children?
Why? I mean what the hell is wrong with the world?
I can't see! Blood in my left eye? No! Focus! You're pathetic! Brush away your tears! I don't cry! Wait, don't leave me! I need you? What is it? What's the thing I have to remember?
Protect the children!
Seriously? What exactly do you think I'm trying to do here? Of course I’m protecting the children! And they call me insane? You're a snivelling little cry baby! You're insane! I'm insane! They're insane! They’re the ones trying to kill children?
Why? I mean what the hell is wrong with the world?
And we were screaming at them in fury…

I may be considered an evil man, and I won't argue with that. But there are lines which even I won't cross.
However the corporates? The cyber-techs? You didn't just cross the line? You skipped across the line with a grin on your face. What you have done? What you did to those children? That was the purest of evil on another level.
After dancing to your tune for so many years, I refused to cross that line. I have signed my own death warrant by releasing my 'Angel Of Death'.
I find it amusing that your greatest failure was also your greatest success.
My Angel of Death is coming for you, and she will be your downfall.
Even her very name should be enough to strike fear into your hearts.
My Angel Of Death?
Her name is:

Anomaly Play Through 08/11/2025 Unity
Latest project moves to Unity (which in no way means we're done with Minecraft). For Lightning King's birthday, he requested Unity training. He has just completed the second tutorial, with some extras added in, including music created by ourselves.

We are completely rewriting Book 1 and trying to keep it under 600 pages.
The Beam Control Data Pack is being rewritten for 1.21.8, but it works as per screenshots. Working on multi-player. Beam Textures Pack - First (with 10 variations) is available on Modrinth
Videos on YouTube of the current Arena. Almost every item needs to be rewritten for 1.21.8 due to coding changes by Mojang. We only ever work with the latest version. We have converted some.
Spider Vision / Ender Vision / Creeper Vision / Game Mode Swap / Keep Loot
Data Pack Fully Working with improvements to be made. Mimic Spider Vision, Ender Vision & Creeper Vision. Keeping Loot and Temporary Respawn Points.
TODO: Few minor bugs and timing issues. Retain Levels & XP On Death. Retain Buffs / Effects.
Incoming:
Genie / Wind Breeze / The Time Machine (Moon Phases) / Particles / Wind Towers (Cannons) / Aerial Bombardment / The Vision Pack / Particle Pack / End Crystal Beam Pack / Lucky Fishing Fixes (broken in 1.21.4) / Enchants / Shadows Bane/Void Bane (Axe with Flying Shadow Step Ability) / Custom Enchants / Enchant Effects
New Minecraft scenes covering Chapter 1. The New Genie Models & FX Are Looking Better Than Anticipated.
The Dishonest Return Is Half Built In Minecraft - And Looking Good So Far.
Short Video & Screen Shots Of Both Incoming.
Arena Testing For 1.20.1 and some screenshots from the last few months. Mostly related to The Arena and The Time Machine.
We are busy working on Book 1 of "The Dark Is A Cold Lonely Shadow". 600,000 words across all books, spin-offs, short stories and notes. Book 1 is way over word and page count. Combined with Minecraft 1.21 this has delayed 'The Arena', 'The Time Machine', 'Random Blocks', 'Lucky Fishing Rod' (now released), 'Light Helm', 'Music Studio', 'Scheduler', 'The Conduit', 'Orbits', 'Mount & Fly Anything' (including Ember), and various other projects we promised.
The Time Machine Data Pack was close to Alpha Release, but due to rewrite of TDIACLS and 1.20.1 changes is ON HOLD.
However various packs have been released/fixed/updated on Modrinth.
Alpha Testing (dated video and not the latest code)
Ember Mount (Flying Ravager Mount / Rare Drop)
Lightning Snowballs
Insanity X-Bow
Akriss & Ember Boss Fight
The Shadow Buttefly (Ghost Warden)

Everyone knows Raz'Kul only built the house and gardens to further annoy the Monks Of Serenity. Or the "Not So Serene Monks" as Raz'Kul jokes. With monks, bounty hunters and assassins surrounding Shadow Falls, only The Ghost Warden's protection is keeping him alive.
