## 🎨 My Story

Hi! I'm Armeos, an artist from Quebec, Canada. This is my first complete modpack with interactions ever created. I never learned to code before this project - I'm primarily an artist, not a programmer. Creating this mod was my first real venture into game development and modding.

The inspiration? Players on my current Hytale server suggested that Quebec-related blocks would be a cool addition to the game. What started as a simple idea grew into a full 10-day project to create an entire maple syrup production system! As a Quebecois, I wanted to share a piece of my culture with the Hytale community.

This mod represents **10 days of learning, experimentation, and creative problem-solving**. From learning JSON structures to understanding game mechanics, from creating 3D models to balancing recipes - every aspect was a new challenge. The fact that it works and feels polished is something I'm incredibly proud of.

This is just the beginning. I plan to grow this project over time, potentially expanding into a full Quebec-themed content pack with maple wood, furniture, seasonal mechanics, and more Canadian-inspired features.

## A Love Letter to Quebec

From the sugar shacks of the Laurentians to the breakfast tables of Montreal, maple syrup is more than just food - it's a cultural icon. This mod is my way of sharing that piece of Quebec with the Hytale community. Every item, every recipe, every detail was crafted with love and respect for the tradition of maple syrup production.

Merci for playing, and I hope you enjoy this sweet taste of Canada!
