The Catastrophe Mod is a Neoforge 1.21.4 Minecraft Mod made using MCreator 2025.2 that will eventually add a lot of bosses, weapons, structures, etc. to Minecraft. I've had 2 other people help me with the mod before, but they are no longer interested in development. I also just restarted the mod's workspace from scratch because the old one was filled with old code and elements that presented such a bad product and caused a lot of bugs; restarting the workspace allows me to recode everything without my old slop getting in the way. If you are interested in helping development, I could really use some pixel artists, blockbench modelers, and animators. Unfortunately, I cannot attach images to this post to show the mod's old content, however I can provide some youtube and instagram posts.

Anyways, I used to do the mod's programming structure building, and SFX when working with multiple people, so I am not in need of that, however if anyone has those skills, it wouldn't hurt to have more people that can share different perspectives and ideas.

I'm a self taught jazz composer, approaching but not yet at 2 years of making music. I've most definitely outgrown basic principles such as the foundations of functional harmony, extensions/alterations, voice leading, motivic development, etc. I've been learning a lot of new things and applying them to my music over the course of about half a year with much success, such as secondary dominants, tritone substitutions, backdoor dominants, and modal mixture. I am very joyful of the progress I've made thus far but I feel it would be necessary, or at least beneficial, to take on a more formal/semi-formal approach.

I do not want to risk having splintered and shattered knowledge, even if well developed independently, across a multitude of techniques and perspectives without some form of underlying structure or at least guidance.

The reason I am making a post for this is because, as previously established, I am well established and comfortable in most if not all of the topics in the FaQ section, pertaining to jazz or fundamental theory.

Scrolling online for jazz books following my criteria above has gotten me these options. Any recommendations both inside and outside of this list would be appreciated immensely. Thank you to any and all readers/repliers of this post.

I'm new to Spotiflac and building my own music library in general. I keep getting an error saying that it can't fetch from a server or something. I've seen a couple other posts on this sub mention this recently too.

I am a lover of video game OSTs and the fan content that comes with it. I want to download and keep files on my personal hardrive rather than rely on Spotify.

Which software should I use for my desktop as an offline alternative to Spotify?
