Discord!

while i’m still working on the discord (esp. onboarding, don’t expect anything craycray there yet) and Mythos doesn’t even have a channel yet, i decided to open ‘er up to get feedback and share my goobers. follow the rules and have fun, proxels! (and also DM me for any roles you want in the meantime). my friend requests and DMs are open, as well!

two dueling dragon doodles

which one do you like better? blue or orange?

may become banner for Mythos (mod)

exciting news rat fans- finally fixed the tail on the rat model, added proper fur, and made nakie rats look suitably naked (no fur for you)

tail was WAYYYYYY too long lmao (like 3 times the size of the goober)

HELLO???? a fellow Minecraft nerd, I see. Love your work friend, I'm a huge fan of silly little rodents 🥺🥺🥺

AAH! your dragons (and skins!!!) are absolutely incredible (that mod (?)'s gonna be SICK!) and those animations of yours are exquisite! and don't worry- more rodents are coming. the rat king is coming for you. Run. :p

-proxxo :)

may divorce be with you

DISCORD!!!!

making good progress on the discord (and also firebird) it’ll hopefully be done by next week-ish. in the meantime, i’m on disc as _proxxicles (don’t forget the underscore)! you’ll know it’s me because i’ve got the exact same pfp as here

feel free to chat!

also. will the dinos be rideable. i wanna be fast as fuck on a lizard

”will the dinos be rideable?” HELL YEAH. H E L L Y E A H. while not EVERY SINGLE dinosaur/creature will be rideable, the majority of those big enough to be ridden will be. and also customizable. and tameable. and sometimes immune to lava.

my standards for "compatible": wont crash the game if i have both of them on at the same time lmao, sounds like there's tons of opportunities for them to interact tho!

Is naturality mostly new mobs/will there be plants? More crops? Also taming mechanics - will possums work like foxes? Or do they actually follow you around/sit etc?

Its awesome to see a dino mod in the works tbh the last one i played was on 1.7.10 (fossils and archeology revival i think? its been a while) and that didnt have dinos spawning in naturally (tragic).

When/how did you get into minecraft & modmaking? I spent so much time on temporary servers playing hexxit w my friends lmao we only switched to a newer version with 1.16

these are some good questions!

paragraph 1: fair enough! i always love it when mods include cross-compat, makes it feel like an expanded universe lol there’ll be plenty of crossover points between all my mods

paragraph 2: naturality will be a mix of mobs and plants. i def want a mixture of the two, along with some real-world features (silkworms, ants maybe)! there’ll be a lot of crops- esp. “heirloom” real-world plants to explain why MC plants look so modern. as for taming and tamed animals- generally animals have two “tame” states in my mods—a “befriended” state where they won’t run away, are rendered neutral and allow you to breed them—and a “tamed” state which varies among the individual but generally allows for inventory access, carpet/chest/harness usage/placement, stay-follow-wander and riding. possums, in this case, are a 2-step tame process- 1. feed the mom, access inventory, 2. take babies and raise. most animals won’t be like foxes when fully tamed, though a few will

also tomatoes and corn’ll be in naturality lol

paragraph 3: i. love. fossils. and. archaeology. that was probably my first foray into all the crazy stuff MC modding could do, in probably 2017 or so. and don’t worry! prehistorian’s dinosaurs (for the most part) will spawn naturally, with fossils reserved for rare skins and some boss-summon material (ooo!)

paragraph 4: great question! i started playing MC in… maybe 2014-15 or so??? my memory’s pretty foggy, but i remember the new launcher and polar bears and thinking the new aquatic update was BIG NEWS. as for modding—i discovered that world maybe 2016-17-18 territory.

i had a big family server (that i’m trying to get running again) with one lonely mod- DrZhark’s MoCreatures! along with F&A Rev., MoC was another mod-codifier (modifier?) of sorts- it cemented the idea of “holy crap, these people are bending MC to their will!! HOLY CRAP!!!” that led me to learn Blockbench in… mid 2021?? granted, i had some art experience before then.

since i’d consider myself a relatively good writer, i came up with these huge master lists of creatures and features (which i’ll eventually publish as fully-fledged prox mod bibles). it’s been a real lesson in creativity, coding, and a whole bunch of other stuff! someday i might make a proper modeling tutorial for how to make a semi-decent animal model, since there’s literally nothing out there in proper Mojang style lmao

thanks for the ask! like i said before ask as much stuff as you want i love answering questions!

-prox

are the rats & possums in the same mod? Im assuming the dinos are separate lmao but will they be compatible? Idk how mods work actually so sorry if thats a stupid question. also whats the third mod you mention in your bio?

hey thanks for the ask! i’m currently working on 3 mods- one about nature and stuff (naturality), one about mythological creatures (mythos), and one about prehistoric animals! mythos is the one i’m still cookin’ up, the one in my bio! hopefully, all mods will be compatible with not just each other but with other mods.

what i mean by that is they might have cross-compat with other mods (like Vazkii’s Quark) and with themselves (Prehist deinon eats Natur rat).

and yes, Possum and Rat/Mouse are all from naturality! bonus fact- all of these mods are gonna be on 1.20.1 to begin, but will hopefully be back ported to 1.18 and 1.16.5! the only requirements for these bad boys is an animation engine called GeckoLib, which is necessary because the 3D program i use (Blockbench) isn’t the best for rigging and animation (gotta do some trigonometry). feel free to ask me some more stuff!

possum and babies!!! i ended up straying a smidge from the OG concept art, but i'm pretty proud of what i ended up with! some more details about the possums- they are immune to poisons (as a reference to the pseudo-fact that possums are immune to rabies), they hiss if approached, and their babies are items.

that's right- items! if a possum mother trusts you enough, she'll let you access her inventory, which contains babies! just like rats, because the babies are so small, you need to store them in a nest.

possums. once tamed, can be equipped with carpets, harnesses, and a chest to expand their natural inventory. like cats, they'll bring you gifts once tamed.

one last lil gift for you all- POSSUM CONCEPT for naturality mod!!!! possums are befriended by feeding them (and tamed by obtaining their babies from a nest)! they make for good companions- they can hitch a ride on your shoulder, bring you trash, and hiss at danger. oh yeah, and when perturbed, they play dead by exploding in a poof of white smoke. cool lil dudes!!

also nevermind the wolfenstein quote in the corner lol

golly gosh!!

i’d’ve never expected the amount of love (at least for an absolute nobody of a creator like me) that you dudes in my computer have shown for me and my modposting! it’s really mind-boggling to wake up to like 50-something likes, reblogs or new followers. to celebrate the neil post alone getting almost 40 likes, send me a message and i’ll make your pet/fave animal into a blockbench model!

more exciting news- i’m working on a discord server for everything prox-related, be it mods, comics or just my art in general. see you around! proxes’ note- the first Mythos showcase will hopefully be this weekend! it’s a firebird!

yknow when you’re done reading a book or seeing a post and you just sit there for a second well i tried to convey that sheer mental turmoil in a doodle

FOSSILIZED EGG! big, blocky and beautiful, this egg is a rare find in MC's sands, but if you find it, you'll be rewarded with a rare animal if you can isolate its DNA.

neil, and baby neil for NaturalityMod

the baby rats (rittens) are SO TINY, they are so small that rats in-mod will have them in nests so the babies don't sneak off somewhere and get themselves hurt

old (last spring) vs new (literally today) look at that!

this is a moa egg for my mod prehistorian by the way!

here's a neil, slightly more faithful to the source (no shading) happy neiliversary!

even in Minecraft, neil still bangs out the tunes over 18 years later!

i was a bit late to neiliversary, but i wanted to make a little something special for everyone's favorite nakie rat!!!

golly gosh, if it isn't everyone's favorite two rodents- mice and rats! these two will be popping in to Naturality sometime, tamed with anything they can get their tiny pink paws on. they love redstone and can detect traps and contraptions from a ways off, helping you stay safe. their tails and fur also find use in potion-brewing!

holy crap, another deinonychus! only blue! this guy'll be poppin into Prehistorian as the minion of a raptor boss. he's too cute to hurt anyone... unless...

hey everyone this little deinonychus guy’ll be going in my mod Prehistorian! he’s tameable by feeding him like a wolf
