Pack Updates Status (MC1.20)

[HanFox]

MC1.20 - Trails and Tales

We know you're excited for updates!
We're excited to show off what we're creating, however we never give ETAs for pack updates as it just causes undue pressure on us.

Temporary Java Supporter exclusives will usually be available to everyone a short time after the equivalent update is released on Bedrock.
The time period can vary, and is usually between 1 to 3 months, but can be longer due to unforeseen circumstances.

Any prior replies to this thread have been moved to another thread, so that updates are clearer for users who want them.

We're looking to get all the Bedrock packs released for MC1.20 very soon (hopefully this week, if not next week). They'll likely be lacking the upcoming Armadillo and Wolf stuff, but we'll look to get those out soon after they're made "stable" by Mojang.

If there are no major issues with any Bedrock packs the MC1.20 updates for Java PureBDcraft and VanillaBDcraft will be made available to everyone soon after.

We know this has been a ridiculous situation that a lot of people just don't understand, but hopefully you're still around waiting for the update. If you are thanks

And a massive thanks to everyone who did get Supporter during this time Remember, if you recently bought Supporter you'll also get access to the packs for MC1.21 Java when that comes out later this year.

We should have some news soon with more details about the release.

So two weeks (and more) have been and gone since the last status update have - I also had no internet access for the past 2 weeks, so wasn't able to post anything - and we've still not got an update out.

So, for full transparency, the delay is no longer due to Microsoft, it's squarely lying with Sphax. Due to the new Bedrock listings, and issues with our old trailers (you can't use Steve and Alex if you're not Mojang apparently) Sphax wants new trailers in place before the update on Bedrock. The reasoning is that trailers are expected by Microsoft and marketplace users, and that they help an item be more noticeable on the marketplace.

Let me be clear, I'm not happy about this decision either. I don't think it's a good one... Microsoft causing delays is one thing, but BDcraft purposefully delaying it is another. At least as far as the Java releases go.

All my previous posts are basically talking in the collective sense of BDcraft in regards to updates, but this time this is just how I feel. I'm not going rogue or anything, just a bit tired... like you all likely are.

In light of this lengthy, tiring, silly situation I've proposed to Sphax a different way to do Supporter stuff going forward. Hopefully he's receptive to it, and I can get it implemented going forward with 1.21 or so. If that happens I'll post more information about that when the time is right.

In the meantime I ask you continue to try to be patient.
