Hey there! Its update time for the first time in 5 months! Even worse than last time, but version 1.4.1 has arrived and its changelog is hot and ready:

The Very Organized Thief - Version 1.4.1

=Fixed a bug where the players items and items in the house would not despawn if you died while playing. This also contains changes for a cleaner house!
=Updated the map to Minecraft 1.19.2
=Updated the resource pack to Minecraft 1.19.2
=Changed the plates in the dining room to heavy pressure plates
=Changed the settings menu to be the extras menu (Currently Unused)
=Changed the singleplayer sign to read "Play" to avoid confusion of if there is multiplayer or not
=Changed the position of the signs in the main menu
-Removed a sign that was accidentally left in the lobby in 1.4
-Removed the clock sound
-Removed No-Owner Mode
-Removed Zero-Light Mode
-Removed potion particles from all the effects given by levelling rewards

That's it for this changelog. If no game breaking bugs are found in 1.4.1, 1.5 will be the next update. I'm very excited to start working on it! Please enjoy this little house keeping update for now though :)

cool

Hey there! After almost 4 months, its update time!, and this update brings the long awaited 1.4! I took a little break from the map, but I'm back for more! Its a nice little update that has a big feature span, so here's the changelog!

The Very Organized Thief - Version 1.4

+Added end credits as the level 60 reward, capping off the leveling chart for now
+Added money wads to the game
+Added a score system to display how much total money you've collected from all those wads
+Added a new room under the stairs
+Added a new lobby to spawn into when you click "Singleplayer", which will be changed to "Play" in 1.4.1
=Changed the "Darker Mode" sign to read "Zero-Light Mode"
=Fixed a spelling mistake on the item list
=Fixed a bug where the Owner wouldn't spawn if the long spawn time was chosen
=Pending solution to a bug where items won't despawn if you die while playing (Will most likely be fixed in 1.4.1)
-Removed potion particles from the saturation and slowness effects (finally!)
-Removed the torch from the starting setup due to it being redundant to players not using Optifine

Well that's it for 1.4! I know it doesn't seem like 4 months of work, and that's because its not. Remember, I took a break. So I hope y'all enjoy the new update as I look forward to building on a few systems introduced in the last few updates, including the money wads.

Edit: I just found out that I left a sign in the lobby that wasn't supposed to be there. It'll be gone in 1.4.1

Just did some testing with the Warden on the map and let me say that I wasn't impressed at all. It uses its sonic boom attack which destroys the idea of using the Warden as the owner. I also encountered some bugs with spawning it in with a custom name via command block, in which it just burrows down instantly. I would also have liked to see the warden follow me up the stairs and into the closet after taking the sharp turn off the dining room, but it just stayed down there even though there was an open path to me. Of course its just a snapshot, but I'm disappointed to say the least in the Wardens performance pathfinding wise. The idea of a mob that hears you and moves toward you is exactly what I wanted the Owner to be like. Sadly, because of poor pathfinding and that stupid sonic boom attack which, while its cool in concept, makes the thing extremely difficult to work with, the Warden, as of right now, is not going to be replacing the vindicator as the Owner. If I could somehow find a way to give mobs Warden senses, maybe then it would work, but I'm disappointed in the mob in correlation to this map.

Hey there! Its the new year and we're kicking it off with update time! Remember last post when I said "IF no more bugs are found, this is going to be the final release of legacy edition"? Well sad truth is, there were bugs so here's the changelog for 1.3.4

The Very Organized Thief - Version 1.3.4

+Added The Owner Destroyer back into the game as the level 55 reward. It works a little differently, but hey its back!
+Updated the map to be played on Minecraft 1.18.1
+Updated the resource pack to work on 1.18.1 as well
=Fixed a bug where all the items were spawned in all locations. Probably didn't give my map a good rep lol
=Fixed a bug where the closet doors would remain open upon starting a new game if you opened them last game
=Fixed a bug where you could mine the middle block of the bathroom counter and it would count as the DVD player

Well, that's it for 1.3.4, I've decided to take the idea that 1.4 was going to change everything and throw that completely out the window. Instead, I made a list of ideas for upcoming updates that I was slowly going to phase in through major and sub releases. This means more updates, in a quicker fashion! Thanks for the support again! I really appreciate it!



Quick Edit: I just realized Planet Minecraft has an updates tab now in the editing page, however I'm still gonna use the replies just because its fun, and the old way of doing things :)

Hey there! Its update time hopefully for the last time when it comes to legacy edition. IF no more bugs are found, this is going to be the final release of legacy edition, so here's the changelog for 1.3.3

The Very Organized Thief - Version 1.3.3

+Added a list of all the items in the lobby so that players can link the names of items to what they are in-game
=Made the player get the starting items at the same time they enter the game
=Fixed a bug where the Fast Clock wouldn't work correctly
=Fixed a bug where the Absolute Absorper wouldn't work correctly

So like I said, this will most likely be the last release of legacy edition. Good thing I hadn't touched this map since 1.3.2 released, otherwise I would've never caught these little bugs! I feel like I should've added the item list in the lobby a little sooner as the game was probably confusing to a new player! Anyway, enjoy version 1.3.3!

Hey there! Its update time again! This is the final version of legacy edition, and will be included in all future releases. So here is the changelog for 1.3.2

The Very Organized Thief - Version 1.3.2

+Added Owner spawn timer randomizers
+Added Item randomizers only for items that make sense to be randomized (ex. BBQ, Lawn Mower, and Bicycle aren't randomized because where else do you put those other than a garage)
=Changed the office door to be a fulling opening door to prevent cheesing the owner by locking him in there.
-Removed multiplayer due to it feeling largely incomplete and broken

So yeah! That's it for legacy edition. Now begins work on 1.4, an update that will change the systems a lot. Thank you for supporting this map as much as you all have, I couldn't be more grateful for it! I really wanted to make sure 1.3.2 was practically perfect as this was the final release of legacy edition that will be available. Enjoy playing 1.3.2 everyone! I'll see you in 1.4, or if I discover 1.3.2 has a game breaking bug, in which case 1.3.3 will follow, but that's not likely.

Hey there! Like I promised, here's one of two updates to come before I start work on 1.4 its a freshly packaged update coming to you right now! So here is the change log for version 1.3.1

The Very Organized Thief - Version 1.3.1

+Added a bunch of new items these are: bicycle, rare wine, BBQ, blender, guitar, dvd player, game console, diamond ring, jewelry box, and bracelet

=Moved some stuff around the house to make the new items work

This is really it. Its a very minor update. Thx for the support as always, I hope you'll enjoy this update!

Hey there! This isn't about update time, however I wanna say that, other than randomizing a couple systems like where the items spawn, and when the owner comes home (that was never random btw, it has always been about 1m 30s, I just said it was random lol), as well as adding a few more items to the game, there isn't much left I can do without completely changing the game and the way it works. So by me saying this, I have decided that I am going to release an update or two to introduce randomizers and items. This will be a 1.3.X release, and 1.4 will be the next major update. So to preserve the legacy version of this map, I will now be including release 1.3.X inside the download ZIP for all future updates. I most likely will not be making anymore updates once I hit release 1.6 as I said many times before, so I want to make sure y'all have the option to play the map in its current state, and then if you want you'll be able to play the very different 1.4 update and beyond. Thx for the support on the map as always. I may take some things from this map and funnel them into new projects, which by the way, I never started working any new projects like I said I was in the last post

Hey there! Its update time once more, and this is a pretty hefty update, so here's The Very Organized Thief Version 1.3!

The Very Organized Thief - Version 1.3 - The Multiplayer Update

+ Added a new multiplayer system (In a very primitive state)
+ Added Co-op and Versus
(I couldn't think of a way to end a game of versus when the thief dies, so you'll have to stop it yourself)
+ Added a new resource pack, which can be found in the settings menu
+ Added a new main menu
+ Added a new world icon
= Changed the amount of XP given after each round to 1 level. This was to prevent a bug where you could skip over leveling reward levels and not get access to your reward. Also makes getting level 35 a lot easier!
= Changed a few things around the house to prepare for the next update
= Changed the version number from 1.2 to 1.3
- Removed The Owner Destroyer and replaced it with a stack of Notch apples. This was due to a patch in 1.17.1 which now disallows enchantment levels over 255, according to Mojang, enchantments over 255 was actually a bug all along, and was never meant to be in the game. I guess Mojang doesn't like fun

So I know I took a decently long break from working on this map, but I'm gonna take another break as well. I wanna start working on other types of maps based on other games I like, so if you wanna stay notified on that, follow me on Planet Minecraft, or subscribe to my YouTube channel! Thank you for all the downloads, and diamonds, and hearts, and as I promised in 1.2's changelog, I will come back to this map and work on it until at least Version 1.6.
