TOP NOTCH GAMES
a college portfolio by Kyle Pickle
Minecraft has played a huge role in my interest in both programming and game development, and I am always working on new projects to share with the community.
I have been playing Minecraft since I was in 5th grade, and it has always been a source of both fun and education for me.
I was port forwarding and using SSH with Linux command line long before I learned how to do so in college, and have made countless custom servers, modpacks, and skins for my friends and I to enjoy.
Below are several projects I have developed in recent years with the intention of sharing with the Minecraft community.
FrogCraft is a Minecraft Forge mod for 1.16 that I started working on just before Summer 2021.
As my first mod, I did all of the coding, modeling, texturing, etc. by myself to get a better idea as to how to make mods.
Unfortunately, FrogCraft is currently on hold as Mojang released their own version of frogs in 2022. I may revive the project after familiaizing myself with modding 1.19.
This is a datapack I'm currently in the process of making that adds 48 – 3 for each dye – new "liminal" blocks to Mincecraft, allowing the creation of the backrooms and eerie, 80s aesthetic decorations.
While the blocks are finished, I am also working on making a new "in-between" dimension: an empty void with a seemingly-endless dungeon made from the new blocks for players to explore.
More skins to come. Stay tuned!
