I saw this post 3 months ago, I was looking through the changes in 26.2 Snapshot 7

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-26-2-snapshot-7

And saw this change (copy+pasted):

Resource Pack Version 87.0

• Signs and Hanging Signs now use block models instead of built-in entity models
  • The text on Signs and Hanging Signs cannot be configured yet
• The minecraft:signs atlas has been removed

Block Sprites

• Signs and Hanging Signs now use block models and textures, replacing <wood_type> with the sign's wood type (e.g. mangrove)
  • block/<wood_type>_sign.png
  • block/<wood_type>_hanging_sign.png
• The process of upgrading your pack's Bed, Sign, and Hanging Sign textures can be assisted by using this automated Slicer tool

TC7 when? Azanor where did you GO? (I understand, life, just expressing my sentiment)

The special effects stuff is the hardest for me; the rest I can figure out pretty easily.

I miss Thaumcraft so much. I wish we had more info. Sometimes I think I could port it all by myself but I know it probably wouldn't hit the same. Some people love 4, others stand by 6, addons change everything and it feels like there's no solid foundation to stand on sometimes :/

I was thinking about a dual-casting system. Wands can store Vis, Gauntlets prefer to funnel Vis from the environment. Nodes... we need them.

Just screaming into the void here. Anyone else?
