Hey all, I got something to announce today, December 24: I'm retiring permanently from modding Minecraft.
This post was timed to perfectly coincide with the 10th anniversary of the day on which I released my first mod, XPFix.
This isn't a ragequit or anything, I'm just deciding that now is a good time to stop, let go, and retire with a smile. I will continue being active around these parts on the forums and on Discord in #vip and in #tech_chat (aka #vazkii on irc.esper.net), so come say hi.
For the huge essay version of this with more about my modding history and more gushing about feelings, please visit my blog:

There have been lots of good memories over the past 10 years of modding. Thank you everyone for your support.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
PS: The Botania 10th anniversary CD is still going to be happening -- that project involves minimal coding/actual modding, just administrative work. I'm happy to see that project to its end as my last contribution.
