1.17a! The A is Probably for Amethyst :P (Patreon)

First major update for 1.17 with more still to come! Would've loved to get more of the new 1.17 stuff done this past cycle, but amethyst was a huge time-hog as complex animations tend to be. On the plus side everything amethyst-related is finished and even prepped for quick shader support in the future! Moss blocks were another one of the new blocks I just had to address as they seem like they could be really useful for builds.  

Next month I'm going to go back and give some more attention to 1.16 stuff, though don't be surprised if a few 1.17 things make their way in there! There's still a bit left to do for both.
