Hi, I'm 🔥 asanetargoss.

I play Minecraft (modded, Java) and do mostly Minecraft-related things under this alias, mainly programming mods in Java and writing fanfiction.

Here's some of my stuff:

Hardcore Alchemy - A hardcore/survival/magic modpack. Magic with consequences.

Changeling - A fork of Metamorph, a shapeshifting mod, with a focus on survival-oriented bugfixes.

The Book of Dreams - A fantasy story about a guy who finds a book that is self-aware.

More of my stuff:

Alchemical Darkness - A short story inspired by some magic mods.

Miner's Fear - A short story about a miner.

The Convergence - A collaborative fiction with several other writers about a mysterious, multidimensional evil. I have since retired from this project, but have contributed significantly to the first two books.

Miscellaneous Mods - An overview of the mods I've created or maintained, mainly to improve the Hardcore Alchemy modpack.

The source code for my Minecraft-related projects are here.

I can additionally be found on various websites. You may also be interested in my blog and microblog, which I update infrequently.

And here are some useful links I've found related to Minecraft, mainly modding, which may be useful to you:

Playing modded

MultiMC - The Minecraft launcher I use for everything. Can also run Curseforge and FTB modpacks.

Luanti - Always on my radar. A FOSS Minecraft-like with a Lua modding API, formerly known as Minetest.

Minecraft Forum - OG Minecraft community.

r/feedthebeast - All things modded.

r/mcmodfinder

Curseforge

Modrinth

Coremodding/Reverse-engineering

culegooner's Coremodding Tutorial - Java-based coremodding in a nutshell, aside from obfuscation mappings.

Reflection/Coremodding PSA from a frustrated add-on developer - Best practices on obfuscation mappings.

Bytecode Outline - Eclipse plugin for understanding Java bytecode and ObjectWeb ASM. Note: Installed by default in the default Eclipse SDK package since 2023!

Mod Coder Pack (MCP) - Contains the MCP Mapping Viewer, a handy tool that lets you look up what class/field/method names are depending on the environment.

Java Decompiler - The IDE plugin makes working with random mods and source-less jars a lot easier. JD-GUI is also really nice for browsing mod jars.

Fernflower - For when JD-GUI breaks.

mmvmap - A python script I made when I was tired of looking up name mappings in decompiled code.

jclasslib - For when you need to look at the bytecode.

Cross-mod compat

How to use almost any Forge mod as a dependency - Describes how I set up mod dependencies for Hardcore Alchemy, source code not required.

Dealing with classloading during mod development - If you want to make your mod work with other mods, or on a dedicated server, this article can help you understand and prevent classloading crashes.

CodeChicken Core for 1.8/1.9/1.10 - Another helpful tool which actually makes using non-dev mod jars in a dev environment possible. Also available for other versions.
