My ultimate plan for next year is to get BOTA released on Curseforge. i have had quite a few people reach out to me wanting it on the page so it is more easy to install onto modpacks, and i am pushing to getting it released onto the site before the summer of 2026.

Happy Holidays to all and i wish you a happy new year! stay tuned for the next progression update!
