PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION - ALL NEWS AND UPDATES WILL BE POSTED HERE IN FUTURE
This is a test, page under construction...
<===== "There's no such thing as a Red Conduit"
The First 9 Chapters Are So Out Of Date (and several have been deleted) we have removed most the links. What is coming is so much better. Thank you, we are busy ripping the entire book apart based on that feedback, and it has been awesome!
"I feel sometimes like I'm living in a loop. And yet every time the loop is more sophisticated." - Lightning King
♾️Wise words from the boss! Every iteration is a little closer to our goal!♾️
Updates and new packs available on Modrinth.
04/05/2025 - Almost every pack now updated for 1.21.5!
"In A Minecraft Movie, Jack Black is like a desperate clown at an underattended children’s party" - couldn't have put it better myself.
Total word count 800,000+
UPDATE 04/05/2025 - Complete re-write and restructure of the entire series.
Book 1 rewritten entirely based on feedback [still expected 2025] and limited to 600 pages (currently 790, so we need to cut it down)
Book 1 split, so book 1 and 2 are close to complete.
Over 800,000 words, with another two books coming together and trying to avoid being side-tracked on the other 4, which are also starting to look good. So much for limiting it to 3 books!
New writing techniques, dialogue tests, and investigations into Dyslexia/ADHD. It was a bit of an experiment, and although a few people loved it, most didn't. We are finding a middle ground and trying to make it easier to read.
BELOW ON HOLD
NFTs - Prototypes done (and they are published, available and buyable if you want them)
Arena / Data Packs / Texture Packs (low priority but working on furiously when we need a break from Book 1).
That said, we do have some updates to existing packs and some new packs on Modrinth. We have updated most packs to work with 1.21.5
Sandbox - We abandoned them a long time ago (and never been happier), but we will honour any existing tokens, but we were never happier to have moved away from them before this project started.
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.

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 & Screenshots 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". 500,000 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.
Minecraft 1.21 required a lot of rework (and we're more than happy to do this given the benefits). Abstraction and proper coding have meant this is progressing in 1/100 of the time it would take otherwise. We have released a few new packs, texture packs, music and been working hard. The Time Machine Textures has had >1500 downloads despite being one of our newest, alpha, and totally incomplete. mxsxc1 - Modrinth
Thank you for all your kind words, support and feedback. We are not releasing any of our methods for things like 'The Conduit', 'Animated Helms', 'Glowing' just yet, but they are being rewritten and will be released.
We know these are the ones people are asking for (and suspect this is why the Time Machine has so many downloads). However they will be released properly with full items, texture packs, data packs, structures, weapons, and boss fights - and tested to work on multiplayer.
MxSxC1 Weather Pack (Sleet) - Preparing For The Arena!
This more about going through the entire process; Design, Build, Testing, GitHub, Video, Youtube, Screenshots, Promotion, Custom Music - A hell of a lot of work for what is essentially about 8 core files...but we will improve, make it quicker, and start rolling out our more serious packs soon

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 Wardens protection is keeping him alive.
TDIACLS Alpha Testers - We have had a LOT of people ask for our shader settings and packs. Shader settings/PBR textures will be released as part of the final game, and some packs will be released way before then. However Alpha testers are needed. We are only working with Iris & Minecraft Java currently looking for AMD, Linux, Multiplayers for boss battles (high performance and frame rate), Screenshots/Slow Scenes (Seriously Intensive, May Fry Your Computer). You need to have ability to run multiple tests over multiple shaders and packs, and benchmark them.
The current 2 packs are being split into 20+ Packs, with Tutorials, Guides & Demo's on how to create yourself. MxSxC1 Packs
We are looking for some voice actors as well for a few parts in the film.
MxSxC1 Sculk Pack (Including Ghost Warden) - Incoming - Needs several textures re-tiled, and the PBR re-done. Images to left are very dated now as is the Early Alpha Video of the half built Arena and Ghost Warden. Hoping this will be the first one released, and is the one most asked for!
