Announcement – The Road to Automate Vanilla 2.0!!

It has been a while between updates, so I want to explain what’s been going on. I’ve been rushing myself to push things out, and that led to mistakes, missing details, and features that didn’t work how they should. The whole process felt rushed instead of planned, and because of that, the pack hasn’t really become what I originally hoped it would be.

This is my first modpack, and a lot of it has been trial and error. I’ve learned a ton along the way, but I’ve also realized how much more work it takes to make something that feels complete and consistent.

That’s why Automate Vanilla 2.0 is going to be different.

I’m shifting toward treating the pack like a fully polished project. I’m putting real structure behind it so updates land cleaner and more reliably.

That includes:

• A proper GitHub page with issue tracking and a public bug list
• Better organized source files
• A clearer workflow so you can see what I’m working on
• Possibly posting my full list of known issues and updating it as they get fixed

I also want to say thank you. We recently passed 250 downloads (!!!), which might be small in the big picture, but it means a lot to me. Knowing people are playing something I made is a huge motivation boost.

With 2.0, I’m also planning to put more effort into visibility. Better presentation, clearer info, and actual advertising so more players can find the pack.

Thank you for sticking with it and giving it a chance. 2.0 is where Automate Vanilla finally starts becoming the pack I always wanted it to be!
