&lt;li&gt;They will help you kill stuff (unless it&amp;rsquo;s a plush, creeper or ghast).&lt;!-- raw HTML omitted --&gt;&lt;img src="https://4ny.dev/images/changelog/miku-plushies-hunting.gif" alt="miku-plushies-hunting.gif"&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yes, you can give swords to them, the military usage of Mikus isn&amp;rsquo;t endorsed, but it&amp;rsquo;s completely possible.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Watch their posture, if they are hunching over it means that their HP isn&amp;rsquo;t full, they love eating leek.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Miku will eat leek crops straight from the ground if her HP isn&amp;rsquo;t full, she can&amp;rsquo;t help it.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As it&amp;rsquo;s tradition on the software making world, we all love seeing the &lt;code&gt;1.5.1&lt;/code&gt; turn into &lt;code&gt;1.5.2&lt;/code&gt;, but when you go from &lt;code&gt;1.9.5&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;2.0.0&lt;/code&gt; you are in for an absolute treat. New features, overhauls, you name it, it always means that we are getting some big stuff our way, unless we&amp;rsquo;re talking &lt;a href="https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/6/178"&gt;Linux kernel version numbering&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wasn&amp;rsquo;t happy with a lot of the areas of the mod, which meant that this milestone came at a really convenient timing. My coding skills aren&amp;rsquo;t the sharpest and since I&amp;rsquo;m self-taught my fundamentals aren&amp;rsquo;t really there, results come first to me, but this was very fun regardless of that. The fact that I&amp;rsquo;m even bothering to write this out itself a proof that this wasn&amp;rsquo;t a small task, but what exactly was the big thing worth of such a fuss? You see, it isn&amp;rsquo;t about one thing, but several.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bonctober Trailer</title><link>https://4ny.dev/portfolio/bonctober-trailer/</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://4ny.dev/portfolio/bonctober-trailer/</guid><description>&lt;div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Learning from my mistake on &lt;a href="https://4ny.dev/portfolio/witherstorm-attack-animation/"&gt;the previous animation&lt;/a&gt; this time I&amp;rsquo;ve imported the environment in chunks. And while it wasn&amp;rsquo;t used on the final animation, I did make a frustum culling setup for the far away chunks, as everything today it&amp;rsquo;s powered by geometry nodes.&lt;/p&gt;

		&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This time I&amp;rsquo;ve used &lt;a href="https://github.com/BramStoutProductions/MiEx"&gt;MiEx&lt;/a&gt; which is a much better tool than &lt;a href="https://www.realtimerendering.com/erich/minecraft/public/mineways/"&gt;Mineways&lt;/a&gt;, but also much more complex to use, but it allows for importing modded blocks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://4ny.dev/images/witherstorm-attack/environment.webp" alt="environment.webp"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The map on this one is very simple since it&amp;rsquo;s just one house in the middle of nowhere, but then we need a bunch of nowhere to be in the middle of. That led me to importing a bunch more land than necessary, which made the rendering slower. But after this project I&amp;rsquo;ve promptly started working on a solution to allow importing big environments and also keep rendering times low.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Youtubers vs Realistic Monsters</title><link>https://4ny.dev/portfolio/youtubers-vs-realistic-monsters/</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://4ny.dev/portfolio/youtubers-vs-realistic-monsters/</guid><description>&lt;div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This project was a lot of fun on the tech side, there&amp;rsquo;s a nice split of stuff to do both in Minecraft and Blender.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="but-how-did-we-do-it"&gt;But how did we do it?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Minecraft we had to use &lt;a href="https://www.replaymod.com/"&gt;ReplayMod&lt;/a&gt; to capture gameplay with depth data on a sequence of &lt;code&gt;.exr&lt;/code&gt; files, and also camera movement data. As for Blender we had to import the Minecraft world into it, I&amp;rsquo;ve used &lt;a href="https://www.realtimerendering.com/erich/minecraft/public/mineways/"&gt;MineWays&lt;/a&gt; which sadly doesn&amp;rsquo;t support importing meshes from installed mods, it required me to manually add placeholders for the animation pass to work with.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>About Me</title><link>https://4ny.dev/about-me/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://4ny.dev/about-me/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="hi-there"&gt;Hi there&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My name is Any and I like making Minecraft stuff, currently my favourite game is Warframe, and I also love being a Linux user, don&amp;rsquo;t worry, I touch grass often. I also might like anime a little bit too much, and also &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakengard#Games"&gt;DrakeNier&lt;/a&gt; I love the whole setting, Kainé and Emil are the best. Dark stuff is right up my alley, even tough most of my stuff that&amp;rsquo;s out there is very cute, I kinda feel like Hayao Miyazaki &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Zapalzo/status/1428352934836785157/photo/1"&gt;on this piece&lt;/a&gt; when I think about it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
