From BENZOOgataga

To the Flaze SMP community,

I want to personally address the ongoing situation regarding the custom mod development, as transparency and honesty are core to how I lead this project.

The journey began with a developer who initially showed promise, completing approximately 90% of the mod. Unfortunately, that developer abandoned the project before delivering a finished product. In an effort to avoid further delays, I brought in a second developer—however, this decision proved to be a misstep. The work provided was clearly low-effort, likely generated through AI without proper understanding of the project’s scope. To make matters worse, the final delivery was a non-functional JAR file containing nothing more than a line reading “Placeholder for compiled JAR.”

I deeply regret the frustration and delay this has caused. I know many of you have been patiently waiting, and I appreciate your continued support more than I can express. That said, I must clarify that the delays are not a result of inaction or neglect, but of unreliable collaborators who failed to meet the standards required for a project of this quality.

Finding a developer willing to take on someone else’s unfinished code is always a challenge. The remaining 10% may seem small, but in development, that last stretch often demands precision, familiarity with the existing structure, and commitment. These qualities are hard to come by, but I am actively reaching out to trusted contacts and potential developers to get this project across the finish line.

This mod is not abandoned. I remain fully dedicated to delivering it, no matter how long it takes. Your patience and trust mean everything, and I will continue to keep you updated every step of the way.

Sincerely,
BENZOOgataga
