Boom. Week over. Buffalomoon, tell me what you think of these nether bricks. Wool also has been improved. It no longer clashes with everything and its much softer. The cyan/light blue colour for it has also been fixed. Bookcase got improved. I'm still not happy with it, specifically the books don't look right. I really want to nail this one because I love making libraries so I'm sure I'll revisit it again at some stage.

The one change that I'm not sure about is the new birch planks. Birch and oak were the only two planks that weren't unique and even though I actually quite liked what they used to be I decided to try make it different. But I don't know if people will like this kind of thing or if they'd prefer more traditional planks rather than this patterny thing. So I'm curious for opinions on that one. If people think it's crap I'll change it back.

Again really great, Grog!

I thinkt the birch planks look too much like they're made of stone. In my WIP pack Odin (which is temporarily discontinued, I'll continue working on it once) the acacia planks (orange) have the same idea as your birch planks.

(this is a very old WIP image)

Acacia planks are on the floor.

Or aren't the birch wood planks the things between book shelves and nether brick?

Oh nice. Thanks for the feedback. Alright I'll have a bit more of a play. What I might also do is make the sides of the planks a different texture as I see this pattern working best as a floor texture and not so much for a wall.

This is definitely my favorite texture pack, it's just fantastic! Definitely feels like it adds more life to the game, and I look forward to it's eventual completion.

Although there is one thing that bothers me slightly: The fact that the top of sandstone is complete but the sides aren't. Considering it's one of my favorite blocks I can't wait for the update that finishes Sandstone. As for the current update, I think it's great! While I enjoyed the design of the old Nether Brick, I thought it was odd that it was Orange. Now it's a much better color and the new design is pretty nice, as well. I'm also quite happy that you changed up the Birch planks a little to add more diversity. Definitely better than basically having multiple different colors of the same wood which is what planks are, for the most part.

Yea I've been putting off sandstone. I'm not too sure what the best way to do the sides. It seems that you could either go for very brick like texture which is good for builds but doesn't look very normal when found naturally in the environment. Or you could go for something that is more appropriate to being found in environment but you loose the nice brick look.

I downloaded and noticed that the diamond sword has a missing pixel. The rest of the pack is lovely.

Ah bugger, I had hoped I fixed it a week ago. Are you using the latest update? I can't seem to find where their would be a missing pixel is on it. Any chance you could put a screenshot up?

Ugh. Ignore whatever the original post says. This week update is indeed uploaded and the link in the original post will still take you to the correct download. My computer has died/dying and for some reason I can't edit the original post. Dunno what's going on but I get half functionally with a lot of programs at the moment and constant random shut downs. My laptop is buggered. I couldn't even test this weeks update in game to check if everything was there and I very nearly gave up trying to simply upload it for you guys. But it's here. Use this link if you feel like the contradicting information in the original post is too unsettling for you.

But yea, so in all likelihood I will not be able to do an update for next week until this gets fixed. Sad face

This pack is truly a work of art! Keep up the great work!

I just wanted to say that recently I was wandering around a build I'd made before I started using this texture pack and I noticed that the clays are really gorgeous! They are the best clays I've seen anywhere (and I'm a guy who tries out texture packages two or three times a day). The softness and richness of the color and texture of the clays is really superb!

Alrighty. Laptop is back and working again. Unfortunately it took nearly a week to get repaired. Since I own no other computer to work on the update this week we'll have to go without sadly breaking my 6 month streak of weekly updates. But life goes on so next week will continue as normal.

i love the resourcepack

but farming is kinda confusing now because its not really easy to tell the difference between fully grown and nearly done growing wheat.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll have another look at it.

Diamond sword looks fine in the new update. Thanks!

Thank you for confirming.

I'm so glad you think so. That certainly means a lot to me considering your no doubt large list of texture packs you've looked at.

I finally played with the new version last night and OH MY GOD the Netherbrick is GORGEOUS! You can watch me drool over it in the first ten minutes of the stream VoD:

Absolutely stunning. This resourcepack is the official pack of my stream.

I will be taking a picture of my Netherbrick fortress so people can see soon! ^.^

Ah, fantastic. I can tick that off then.

Not an overly impressive update this week unfortunately. Spent most of this week working out a GUI style which you can see above for the chest screen. I think I'm happy with this style but I'm interested in hear what people think before I move on to adapt it for the other GUI screens. Not much else to report. Enjoy.

It looks fine, but the hot bar inventory needs to have a bit more contrast.
