The flais on this sub don't reflect how the sub is used so I came up with a simple rework so everything still makes sense, but actually reflects how people use this sub:
First up, the shaders flair is really random and doesn't have anything to do with details so I removed it, Datapack/Armorstand is very specific and could be renamed to or replaced by "Commands / Datapacks" which would include animations made using commands and particles added to builds with commands. I don't really get what "Mechanical Detail" is supposed to mean but the flair is red so I assume it just means "a detail that uses redstone" and that would work pretty well when renamed to the recently more popular word for that which is "Buildstone"
The second part of the rework is the scale of Vanilla-ness of builds, because most stuff on this sub is made in vanilla but for example Display entities should not be grouped with fully survival-friendly builds despite them both being done in vanilla, so I designed a full scale which I think could apply to most creations, Survival friendly builds are the most common and they only include builds that can be done fully in survival, Creative mode builds include builds that for example require the debug stick or custom heads, but do not require operator permissions (you can save custom heads to the saved hotbars so you don't need the operator permissions to aquire them in a specific world), Invisible item frames are only a mild step up from the Creative Mode level but they require operator permissions, Display entities require full operator permissions and can let you achieve basically anything but it could take a long time, and finally Resource packs let you achieve anything regarding details.

Nah, “Mechanical Detail” is a more recognisable term than Buildstone.
“Mechanical detail” to me doesn’t mean “buildstone” but is instead “anything that can’t be classified or interior or exterior”. Like cars or machines.
Shaders should remain because there are a lot of people who don’t like seeing builds with them. I think it’s why it was added in the first place.
We should have a no shaders flair, though. That would be cool.
armor stands/item frames and datapack/armorstand. why do armor stands have two categories
