hi, when should we expect to get an update for 1.21.8 ?

I've somehow completely missed you were talking about 1.21.8. I can spare you the wait, 1.21.8 won't be supported.
I see no benefit in me spending days porting to a version that was effectively outdated on arrival, just for me then having to throw all the work I did out and start from scratch because Mojang decided to experiment with their render engine, happily changing whatever they want, whenever they want.
I think that the changes they make are needed, but as long as this transition to a new render engine continues, it's just not worth my time porting.
So I do not plan to port to any version prior to 1.22.1, hoping that's enough time for them to settle on something decent.

It seems like the mod's been abandoned, as there's been no activity for almost a year

why??? that mod's too good to be abandoned
is there any way that i can contact them?
