### 2/5 — Can’t use app

*2024-03-28*

Every time I search for “bre” or scroll down about halfway through b, the app just closes. Help please!!!

**Developer response:** So sorry about the bug. Can you please send details about your device and version of iOS to help@periodicapps.com?

### 4/5 — Huh?????

*2024-03-26*

Ok so I downloaded this app to change my Minecraft look cuz the last one I downloaded needed a “trial” and this one didn’t I had good hopes for this app but… HOW DO YOU USE OTHER BLOCKS !?!?!?!? I can only use those other ones at the start of the app pls tell me how to use other blocks pls 😭😭😭😭😭😭😢

**Developer response:** You’ll need to download all of the vanilla blocks from https://periodicapps.com/how-to-load-the-vanilla-resource-pack.html. If you’re still having trouble don’t hesitate to email help@periodicapps.com and we’ll get everything running for you.

### 3/5 — Why

*2024-02-17*

This app is este to us but it don’t let you squirrel all the way down it kicks you out before you hit the middle of it

**Developer response:** We’re working to fix this bug and should hopefully have an update available soon. Thanks!

### 4/5 — It is very good, but still has issues

*2022-02-17*

I think this is an amazing app. It’s very well put together, actually works in game, and is pretty flexible. But does have a couple problems. For me, it won’t provide all the variations of blocks for me to edit. Such as wood, wool, leaves, stained glass, etc. But I still recommend this app.

**Developer response:** Hi and thanks for the review! The variants are editable but perhaps it’s a bit too hidden. When editing a texture, any blocks that have additional states (or variants) will show a button above the texture that lets you choose between different states (e.g. different types of wood). I’ll be sure to update our documentation to make this clearer and file a ticket to track how to make it more obvious in the app. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Was a little confusing at first but it’s great!

*2022-01-01*

I took a chance buying this app with only one review and I spent 2 hours trying to import the vanilla resource pack. But if you hit the learn more on one of the pop ups it works!

**Developer response:** Oops! So sorry about the trouble. I’ll look at ways of making that unfortunately necessary step a little more obvious. Don’t hesitate to reach out to the support email address if you have further questions or problems. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Easy and fun!

*2021-12-04*

This app is super easy to use and fun to build out blocks with!

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2024-04-13

- Fixes a crash bug introduced by changes to the format of recent versions of the vanilla resource pack.

### 1.2 — 2022-12-07

* The vanilla resource pack import is working smoothly again. 
* Cleaned up some UI issues resulting from the iOS 16 upgrade

### 1.1 — 2022-02-27

NEW FEATURES

Based on customer feedback: 

• Added an alert to notify user upon successful import of Vanilla Resource Pack
• The interface for adding blocks now breaks out the System (i.e. vanilla) and User resource packs separately and makes it clearer how to install the vanilla resource pack.
• New default behavior associated with device motion which improves drawing precision by subtly moving the lights instead of moving the block

Other Improvements: 

• Reorganized app-wide settings and functions into single popup menu
• Added in-app access to FAQ
• Added an advanced settings section to Project Details which permits configuration of export resource packs' minimum supported version of Minecraft.

RESOLVED ISSUES

• The starter pack now has a more sensible default version number of 1.0.0
• The auto-increment version number no longer increments the exported resource pack module version twice for a single export resulting in a mismatch between the module version and the mcpack version.

### 1.0 — 2021-12-04

No release notes.
