MegaMeme Pack

What have we done
== The MegaMeme Pack ==
The MegaMeme Pack is a Block Game resource pack made by Mike Kachowski and Meme Lord, and is made exclusively available to Meme Council Memebers. As the name entails, it is quite a memey pack, and replaces nearly everything in the game except the core foundational blocks such as grass, dirt, logs, etc. It was started as a small joke by Mike Kachowski, who thought it'd be funny to change a few textures. That is until it festered, and never stopped growing. It is the ultimate Block Game experience, and the pack in itself can be dubbed responsible for starting the Garf Lore itself. The Pack is the biggest Meme Council project besides the Megamind bot, and continues to grow as new updates come out. The pack is the ultimate, physical culmination of the Council's meme-infected minds, and forces all those who endure it to suffer through the nightmare they've created. 
== History ==
The pack had its early beginnings when on August 19, 2019, at 9:21 PM, Mike Kachowski declared he was thinking of making his own texture pack. Nobody really responded to this, but the next day he started following through, and began showcasing his successes. The first change being the sun in the game being swapped to Meme Lord's face. Next up, Lapis Lazuli being changed to Megamind, and then the most infamous change of all: The Shrast, a green Ghast with Shrek's face on it.
Meme Lord found all of this incredible, and thus started sending suggestions and png's rapid fire in hopes of the pack being expanded. Mike Kachowski worked on it entirely alone though, and on 11/12/2019 8:12 PM, he announced the pack "done", and released it to the Council as a downloadable folder. However he would soon find he was nowhere near done. While he took a break, Meme Lord desperately wanted to expand it, and thus on 2/23/2020 Mike Kachowski taught Meme Lord how to upload files himself. Previously up until this, Meme Lord had been doing purely sound effects and music for the pack and sending them as ogg's in the Council for Mike Kachowski to upload, but now Meme Lord could upload them himself. (They would find out, much later, that ogg's had to be mono in order to actually work as intended in Block Game, hence every sound was blaringly loud and Meme Lord had to redo everything in the pack)
Meme Lord and Mike Kachowski began making massive to-do lists, eventually becoming a text file in the pack itself. These to-do lists would ever expand, whenever Mike Kachowski thought the pack was "done", it was never truly "done". The next big update to the MegaMeme Pack was the Shrether, a Shrek-themed Nether, with green lava, green fire, Garfed Forests, Soul Sans valleys and Shronion Deltas, it was quite an undertaking. Meme Lord supplied over 200 sounds for everything within, and the Shrether would be more or less "done" on 3/2/2020.
Next up, perhaps the most influential update of all, would be the Garf Dimension. It had been planned ever since Mike Kachowski decided to make the Enderman look like a distorted Garfield, which would not only spark the Garf Lore, but engrain the Garferman as the most iconic mob in the pack. Meme Lord was set on the dragon becoming Figure 14.19 to really cap off the theme, which Mike Kachowski achieved by removing nearly every body segment off the dragon to make it resemble the balloon. End Cities were remade into Garf Cities, Garf Sentries were made, and last but not least, Lasagna was made into the end crystals, and the Garf Dimension was "finished" on 4/6/2020. Later down the line, a 20+ minute music track compiled by Meme Lord would be added.
Mike Kachowski finally decided to allow Meme Lord to start doing textures on 6/26/2020, but thought github was too complicated to figure out, and discouraged Meme Lord from starting work on textures, until on 9/10/2022, Meme Lord decided to just start working on them as the to-do list got quite large and he felt guilty that Mike Kachowski had so much work to do. Thus the pack received multiple updates, and a massive amount of item textures were completed. On 9/26/2020, Meme Lord singlehandedly did the "Raidgular Show" update, which replaced every pillager-themed mob in the game with a Regular Show character. On 10/14/2022, Meme Lord took it further and made "Update Spongequatic", a complete overhaul of everything underwater, and, obviously, made it Spong-themed. This was the biggest update the pack had ever received, and covered nearly 15 different mobs. 
Meme Lord began his own showcase singleplayer world, as previously he was able to lay everything out in one screenshot, there were now far too many features, and thus laid out a massive open museum featuring every changed texture and mob in the pack. It grew so large and so laggy over the years as more features were added, that even with a 2070ti, and 16 gigs of ram, the world can run only at 20fps with a 8 chunk rendering distance. It can only run crystal smooth if the render distance is dropped to absolute minimum.
The pack was now full-steam ahead, and was more or less now truly about to be "finished". New updates came out of course, but they were planned ahead and covered in due time. Amethyst was replaced with Zimbus, the deep dark and Warden with a certain sniffing president, as well as the Wither being replaced with Rango. The pack was compressed and trimmed down many times but it was already quite large given its high quality sounds, massive music tracks, and 512x textures. It had reached half a gigabyte by the time it was more or less complete, and for comparison, most resource packs don't exceed 25mb. 
The MegaMeme Pack was eventually "published" to Meme Council memebers, and Tactician and The Snazzmaster both had separate tours of the pack in its entirety in a custom-made experience world built by Meme Lord and Mike Kachowski. Tactician ended up having to go through twice cuz that crungus for whatever reason did the entire thing with his sound off.
=== Meme Council SMP ===
The MegaMeme Pack had its largest influence in the Dune SMP aka the Meme Council SMP. This SMP was special as it required everyone to have the resource pack on the entire time while playing. Starting on 10/14/2022, the idea to have it entirely in the desert to fit the "Dune" theme was quickly scrapped, and the gamers built "Camp Deeskuh" and expanded from there. The SMP was extremely successful, and even was updated frequently with minor changes as the gamers played through survival with it and noticed the cracks, as well as noticing things that they forgot. Meme Lord, Mike Kachowski, Tactician, and The Snazzmaster played on this SMP, MondayMan also joining for the slaying of Figure 14.19 and the raid on the Deep Dark as well. 
The SMP had its end on 1/27/2023, where Meme Lord, Mike Kachowski and Tactician finished off a grand trophy room, and then ceremoniously blew up Tactician's house, with Overture (1812) provided by Megamind.
== Legacy ==
As the memebers of the Meme Council grow up, there is less time to sacrifice to work on a Block Game resource pack, and thus the pack's production has slowed down. Fortunately, Mojang's work on Block Game has also slowed down. The pack is more or less complete, but will surely receive minor updates until the rapture occurs. The pack has left permanent stains on the Council and its memebers, both Mike Kachowski and Meme Lord having set their pc backdrops to the Garf Portal from the pack. In fact, this wiki you're on right now. Yeah, see that background? Thats it, thats the Garf Portal. To think it all started with a Megashard.
