Version 1.3 has been published to Stable (v2023.6)

This update brings 2 important things:

1) Hopefully the issues with Thorium compatibility and item texture glitches have been fixed! Please let me know if they haven't been, I haven't been able to replicate them myself.

2) Royal Beds! These beds are front-facing and *very* fancy, if I don't say so myself. This is the most ambitious update I've done, so far as coding is concerned, and there are a few hiccups: for example, there need to be two blocks above the bed, even if it's real tall. None of them are sleep-on-able -- it doesn't make a lot of sense for most of the textures -- but they all work as spawn points and for housing.

I haven't been able to playtest this one as much as I would like -- I rushed it out a little in order to get the fix for the Thorium bug stuff, but everything *should* work as intended. Again, please let me know if you encounter anything wonky. The discord is the best way to do this, as I hear the pings, but steam comments work as well.

Hope you all enjoy the new stuff, and sorry for the problems with the old!

Added a variety of silk plants, including the new ash biome plants, as well as vines, thorns, reeds, sea oats, and seaweed, as well as decorative versions of the spikes and a pair of baskets for all your clutter needs. Please note:

1) The vines do not move; this isn't currently possible in this version of TModLoader, but if it ever becomes a thing, I'll add that in for sure.

2) The vines place like normal blocks; in other words, you don't have to have anything above them. I decided to keep it this way in the name of artistic freedom, but if y'all would prefer realism I can absolutely make that change.

Attempted to publish a friends-only test version; this appears to have removed the mod from the workshop entirely. Have reverted to the previous version to prevent any issues that might be caused by the unfinished mod. Sorry about that!

Officially parted to 1.4.4!
Due to technical issues, I've had difficulty playtesting this, so please be on the lookout for any bugs. Also, for some reason the doors are hammerable into slopes; I've tried to fix this, but couldn't figure it out, and it may be a bug with TModloader itself, as they changed around a lot of the door code and this has been a problem in the past that might have snuck back in during the shuffle. I figured the problem was small enough that it shouldn't be a huge issue, but it's very much on the fix-list.

Also, there may be another problem with the doors. Occasionally, on various worlds, the doors might break when opened to the left. This *shouldn't* happen; in most circumstances, it works fine, and I've implemented a work-around that should produce the expected behavior, but let me know if this happens for you.

There's also a bit of new content here -- new armchairs and ceiling lights for the new vanilla furniture sets! I really like both the reef armchairs, I think they're my favorites thus far.

I FORGOT THE CHANDELIER

More than a little late, I present: The Valentines Update! Sorry about the wait. Hopefully the 162 new items are worth it :P

INCLUDED:

- 13 new Christmas-themed items, mostly toys I had planned, but couldn't include in time to release for Christmas itself
- Rainbow sets of bows, bunting and rosettes for all your party planning needs
- 17 New Years themed items, including an animated chocolate fountain I am unreasonably proud of
- 2 new blocks and walls (hint - you're gonna need some Life Crystals!)
- Full new Valentines themed furniture set, including two new possible set extras, the Ottoman and the King Bed
- A bunch of Valentines decorations, although many of them could be used for other things as well - everything goes well with gold ribbon and lace!

The next update is probably going to be another set extra or two, but I *do* like making me a bunch of random tat, so if you have suggestions or requests, let me know, either in the comments or the discord!

Version 1.0 has been published to Stable

A gift for one and all! Got a bit carried away with this one -- this close to doubles the number of items in the mod! There's too many to list them all, but the highlights:

- New furniture set, including a funky pillar
- Frosted glass!
- Assorted holiday decorations, including but not limited to:
- Stockings
- Festive banners
- Figurines
- Stuffed toys
- Lawn (or anywhere, I suppose) decorations
- Snowflake decals
- Hanging baubles
- Holiday cards
- Some other minor surprises/changes to old stuff -- finally figured out how animation works :P

I tried to be inclusive - there's some Hanukkah stuff and some Saturnalia stuff in here as well, but 1) I don't know those other traditions well enough to be confident wading into them completely, and 2) Christmas has SO MUCH MORE associated tat than pretty much any other occasion. Not a lot of Hanukkah toilet seat covers out there -- although I'm sure some do exist :P If there's any festive-holiday-winter solstice related stuff you'd like to see, please feel free to ask!

I just want to say -- thank you all so much for the positive response. I've never done anything like this before, and the fact that literally THOUSANDS of people like this enough to put it in their game blows my mind. Some of the health stuff looks to be clearing up going into the new year, hopefully, so I've set myself a tentative goal of at least one update per month - though I can't guarantee they'll be as big as this one, because DANG. On the other hand, I'm finally getting to the place where, for the most part, the technical stuff has mostly been handled, letting me devote more time to the art, which is the part I absolutely love and can literally do all day. There are still technical problems -- lights still don't turn off, by and large, armchairs are not sit-able, the new banners don't sway in the wind like I wanted them to -- but unfortunately a significant portion of that is either not doable in the current version of TMod, or if it is doable, the documentation is still so new the solutions are completely opaque to someone on my level. Hopefully coming updates will change that, but for now, I'm kind of stuck with the jank, unfortunately.

That said, I'm super excited to keep working on this. I have a billion ideas, so much so I'm not sure what I'll be going after next, which is one of the reasons I've made a Discord server for the mod. I often find myself debating what to do next, or which version of a sprite is better, or what other things I could add to something for that little extra touch, and while my friends have been very understanding with the constant feedback requests, it would be nice to get diverse opinions, and to give them a bit of a break. Please feel free to drop by with any requests, bug reports, feedback, or just to chat!

Alright, this is probably it for 2022. Happy Holidays, y'all, and see you in 2023!
