Hi, we're Exa/exaptations. We've been modding Minecraft for ~14 years. It's horrifying. When not doing that, we run various services and develop assorted (mostly game-adjacent) software.

Check out our personal website for more.

We use our own self-hosted Forgejo these days.

Assorted notable projects:

• AsyncSimpleLog - A fast, small, and useful logger implementation for SLF4j.
• FlexVer - A SemVer-compatible intuitive comparator for free-form versioning strings as seen in the wild, designed to sort versions like people do.
• SymbolicControllerDB - The SDL controller DB is how controllers behave. What if we had a database of how they look?
• Jortage - A project to lighten the load of fediverse instances via shared infrastructure.
• NilLoader - The universally-compatible ultra-light mod loader.
• Ears - Faithful fancy fashion features for fuzzy folk.
• Partyflow - A self-hosted media transcoding service and release manager styled around Bandcamp.
• unbted - µ NBT Editor - an advanced interactive command-line NBT editor

Noteworthy stuff we helped with:

• the Fractureiser malware investigation
• Voldeloom - A modern Gradle plugin for old versions of Forge (quat has since entirely rewritten it)
