in tutorials about how to use minecraft data and resource pack features , some people really like to show off code generators with dropdowns that provide all of fields and options , apparently make super simple and easy .

personally , absolutely hate generators like that . for some reason , find much harder to use than if just type everything out by hand . which must sound like absolute nonsense - generators can come with all kinds of useful information , previews , and pretty much guarantee no more brace and bracket mistakes . 

maybe that is problem for kossai - too much information . if need to figure out how to do something , would rather just dig into whole example files and piece together from that ...

resource packs in minecraft allow for some really fun personal changes . these ideas could be used by anyone , but of course have plural specific angle to look at here :)
  • change splash texts to collective inside jokes , or nice messages for each other 
  • split clouds texture into square grids - would suggest 64x64 - and claim squares to doodle in ! if need more room for more people , just increase canvas size 
  • change paintings into collective artworks , or pictures of each other - if prefer to keep original in-game paintings , there is datapack tutorial to add whole new ones instead
  • retexture applicable animals and monsters to resemble each other's fursonas
  • ( this one require json noodles ) create new custom item textures that will apply based on specific item names or time and date , so that lacey's mace is easily distinguishable from todd's mace , or cookies will look different on someone's birthday
unfortunately as of right now , there is still no way without mods to apply variant textures to entities or blocks based on things like custom name or current time and date - would love to see that change in future , which would open up ability to personalise cake blocks on birthdays , or for people to have chests that look unique . still , love this kind of stuff and want to share some of love !

other adult alterhumans talk about difficulties in indulge and express alterhuman identity as , well , adult who need to work and move through society . teenage descriptions of how to embrace during school hours , or how to find places to hang out safely and signal to potential friends , still important but no longer resonate - in some part due to differences in school and work environments , as well as different obligations and freedoms or lack thereof . 

but kossai have different perspective , as disabled and unable to work . have all of this " free time " to do anything that wish with , but have to fight against things like chronic pain , low energy , and weakness . usually easy measures of indulgence and expression can actually be quite hard - always love to sit outside or to get driven around , but ability to do even that depend on levels of pain and weakness . sometimes just have to settle for open window and wistful gaze . 

also have to deal with medical systems and clinical eyes on more regular basis than most others - actually part of shower aide program , as unable to do that alone . in similar way to work environments , even small expression of alterhuman identity can be unsafe . in this case , would risk lose position in program if any of workers make choice to say not really disabled . 

see , consensus of kossai is that many struggles this body deal with stem from nonhumanity , from faerie traits that stretch and squish to try and fit boxes of what human body should do . this is well and good for " private opinion " , but not exactly safe to express clinically . at best , might treat like also have schizophrenia on top of everything ... and that is very loose at best , given intense amounts of control at play with this diagnosis . at worst , would strip away all of help , under assumption of no real physical struggles at all . 

this is why also push so hard that , no matter how unrealistic identity seem to others , need to have spaces to express this without constantly tag and make disclaimers , even if this put at odds with those who need to avoid triggers . already need to do that enough in private parts of life , to always medicalise experiences so others will decide whether or not to give help and respect . absolutely need breaks to just say thoughts and feelings as exist , not to filter through what others will find medically acceptable - otherwise , internal sense of personhood and/or reality can genuinely shatter and leave in far worse state . 

as for general public expression ... honestly , already very used to dirty looks , on basis of visible disabilities and gender-sex variance . while kossai do not really have wearable gear aside from some game night accessories , in theory would not be much different from what experience now . people judgmental enough to give dirty looks in first place would continue to do so , and others generally would not . at worst , those less-judgmental people accept as " another cute quirk " to giggle about - at best , outrightly compliment and praise . 

not really any good way to end this post , just ... in some ways struggle to relate to even other adult alterhumans about this subject . which is fair , everyone is different , but can still feel somewhat lonesome .

Each year my university offers funding to go and do a course in the Gaeltacht in the summer, and I'd like to go but I've never applied because I'm anxious about how accessible it would be for me. I've only ever lived in small cities/towns and I get the impression that really rural areas are not great for accessibility, and I have enough trouble in my university town to be honest. Maybe if I could drive it would all be easier, but I don't think it's feasible for me to learn how to drive right now.

14 month anniversary of this minecraft world ! not that count to this specifically , but happen to start on 2024/12/24 , so basically 14 month anniversary right about now . this world is genuinely so much fun to build and play in . right now work on some fairly big projects - forest of hunt and oakhurst memorial - but also start to play around with little candy island project .

this world was inactive for several months actually , but vampires SMP in september 2025 really kick inspiration back into gear - most of work in this world come from these past few months , with road networks that reach across total of 4k by 4k world , 2k for each direction . also learn more about how to code command functions and resource pack json , and just ... have so much fun again . 

would love to be able to put some sort of interactive map on website , but have no clue what kind of setup that would take ... way too much ? :P

i had one of those shifts where i felt disrespected and disregarded and just plain used, but i noticed that we finally had the everything bagels that sell out super quickly that id never been able to snag before. so i bought some of those and some chive and onion cream cheese. and the affordable whole milk yogurt that we've been sold out of for a week. and some fruit "gummies" (just dried fruit in a gummy shape, but they're fun) and the lemons i'll use to make my wife's favorite pasta later this week

then i got home and had a bagel with the cream cheese and watched an episode of winnie the pooh with my headspace kiddos. and guess what! life is good again

several times now , see complaints from non-physical nonhumans that physical nonhumans say things which inherently invalidate non-physical experiences . try to look for any of that , and always come up with ... nothing . some of this stuff would honestly be " generic therian post " if not for also include physical nonhuman and other community tags - which , crosstag is whole annoyance in self , given some of this come from non-physical nonhumans .

like ... where is this at , genuinely ? is this something that fail to see because just not in right spaces , or do some of these people take existence of physical nonhumans as personal threat ? feel like there is no way to ask anyone directly without seem like aggressor , so might never really get answer to that .
