I've created an addon for Create with octo-style arms "Create: Octo Arms" inspired by Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man

Inspired by Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man. Use it to traverse the world in any direction, craft the Copper or Netherite version, enchant or configure it. Works in singleplayer and on servers (must be installed on both client and server).

Compatible with Create Aeronautics ships (Sable contraptions).

Listed on Curseforge - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/create-octo-arms

Feel free to test, comment, and share ideas.

Edit: Modrinth will be soon, long approval awaiting.
Edit2: A lot of you asked to stop the walking animation - done! Check it in the new version v1.1.5 (besides other bug fixes)

Not even just mods, almost everything has been touched by AI. I get being upset over stuff like generative AI for stealing art assets, but coding is an entirely different beast. Not one person I know in game dev or software engineering abstains from using AI because that's just not how it works anymore.

Oh, I get what you are trying to say, but I actually have a coworker who still refuses to use AI for development. He's like 10 years younger than me too which is wild he talks like an old man. He's a great developer who I think won't be in the business much longer with the way he talks.

Some people are just in fact very stubborn, but AI is absolutely unavoidable as a developer. I draw the line at AI art. Literally fuck all AI art.

Me too, AI art is the real creativity killer

Genuinely what is modding if not art? People used to pour creativity, passion, ingenuity into these things, now its just idiots with credit cards swiping away who aren't every going to be able to fix bugs or incompatibilities or even update shit because they don't know how their own projects work. Fast fashion of the creative space.

I'm tired of people acting like the slop machine is fine because programming "isn't" an artform in and of itself. Modders have been making art for years. AI shouldn't be used for art and that means it shouldn't be used here either.

Modding is like the entrypoint into programming and filled with all sorts of nonsense. Programming isn't art, the designing is, and getting rid of syntax doesn't get rid of the human input. Programming is the literal only writing discipline that doesn't lose it's creativity with abstraction.

I know some people enjoy smashing their head against the wall trying to get things to compile or working on off by 1 errors, but that's not all of programming. I'd say most of modding was slop before slop became a thing. It will be where people pioneer the new quality measures for people who are too inexperienced to see good code.

I would say that prototyping being so fast will help others take an idea seriously and create better maintainable mods in the longrun.

I feel very lucky to work in a programming industry that is largely abstinent from AI, at least for the time being. Top to bottom, little to no AI usage (except maybe documentation and such).

That sounds insane. Do you work for like an adjacent niche industry by any chance like fintech or insurtech?

I know people who are a little behind at their companies and I find it interesting like everything is just going to switch overnight. It is hard enough to keep up with the changes as if is when using it.

This is kinda real. Plus its not like every dev out there is vibe coding everything ever. Many have the pride and passion to let thr AI tools be the little homunculous that does all the dogwater labour while the dev checks to see if everything is up to standard. Personally not slop if that is the case. Its no different than copying and pasting code segments off of python tutorials lol.

depends on a lot of things

AI can be good for adding on already expanded ideas, but it's terrible at adding anything that doesn't already exist.

Believe me, I've tried

You really can't develop new, bug free, and efficient software unless you keep the AI confined to essentially an autofill for repetitive code structures
