DLC Collection has now first anniversary (internal) since it existed at least a year. At this time in 2020 DLC: enderum was already finished. I want to talk about something. Actually, DLC Collection isn't something I actually envisioned back then.
So, DLC Collection was this idea I had that was born out of my laziness. I was working at the same time on couple of mods. Those were DLC: Enderum, DLC: Dangers of the sand, DLC: Green, DLC: Ender codex and DLC: Ore Crystals.
These DLC mods were the idea I had back then, and that was how it would be like if minecraft had DLCs. These DLCs were also a very different from the ones which ended in DLC Collection. For example.
Enderum: It wasnt even teleporter, it was a new respawn point which had chance of teleporting you to a new dimension, which was more of a punishiment (talk about bad game design LOL). Only things remained from this is texture for enderum and Enderwatchers
Dangers of the sand: was in early stages and only thing which existed was mummys, havent changed much
Green Forest: First, forest highlands and all things related to them (like wine) didnt exist, although there was this new mudbrick toolset and otter leather armor. Again a bad game design. There were also beavers which were cutting down the trees. This DLC had most of things survive for the DLC Collection
Ender Codex: Was a completely different DLC, only thing which survived was texture for ender codex and fryed chorus fruit, I was talking in detail about it on my discord recently
Ore Crystals: What? A cancelled DLC? Yes. So this was arround time minecraft dungeons came out. I loved the ore crystals which were in it, so I decided to add them, but I have hit a technical limit and scrapped the idea.
I also had plans for DLC: Bronze and Steel (at that time only bronze), which I added and then removed
So, I was wondering if it wasnt easyer to combine all these mods into 1 big mod or more speciffically 1 mod where more than 1 mod would be present. Thus the idea of DLC Collection was born and arround aproximetlly 1 year ago I started the work, actually at this same place I am writing this now (I am not home right now).
Well. As you know, the DLC Collection went to become something better than I even envisioned, with many more DLCs to come, but there is a problem with all of this, these DLCs are not really DLCs I was making back then, these mods were supossed to be standalone experiences which sometimes would maybe take material from other ones, but as you know DLC Collection is heavily connected. But that is not a bad thing, its actually A LOT better. I think it wouldnt be mod I wanted if I would have sticked to that. And I am really happy I didn't XD
So, do I regret something? Well, small ammount of things, most of them are from old DLC: Enderum. I had this cool dungeon and this cool biome in it. I might add them back and put them into nether or unannounced dimenson I am planning. But I am not really sure.
Anyways, thats all I wanted. Bye for now
