Update is out at last!

So I said I'd cut back on the update size but this one ended up much larger than initially intended. I will be cutting back on the scale from here on though. It is a lot to manage these larger updates and I think that has been decreasing my motivation so I think cutting back the scope will be better. The only plans I have for the next update are updating dirt and adding chicken variants. So 2.13 has those features guaranteed and anything else is a bonus.

I also decided to start naming the updates so this can be referred to as either 2.12 or Lurking Vibrancy. After the bedrock version's release, I will be shifting focus to updating my tweak packs and uploading new packs for a while before starting the new smaller updates. 2 of the packs will be revivals of old ones now titled: Blazing Breeze and StormHUD. (I did tease a video for Blazing Breeze months ago but it got scrapped for being too long.)

I am also planning on cutting OptiFine support from the main pack in 2.13. Most people use fabric mods nowadays so I think I'll be moving OptiFine specific things into an addon pack. Making Fabric mods such as ETF and EMF the default removes some reliance on having respackopts but I still recommend you getting it so you can customize your experience. If you do use OptiFine and encounter issues in 1.20.2+ then please report the bug to my github repository or my discord server so I can be made aware of the issue.

TL;DR: Update sizes will be smaller in the future, updates are named now, working on some other packs and optifine will be cut from the main pack but may come as an addon

This update was made in collaboration with TEAM UNNAMED, they helped with a lot of stuff in this update.

Report any bugs if you encounter any! You can create an issue on github or make a post to #suggestions-bugs in my discord server.

Some features require Fabric mods, OptiFine can alternatively be used for some of the features. See description for full list of mods you should use.
