Hi all, found out that a LOT of people really wanted a Japanese/asian/awesome texture pack so I decided to take it upon myself to make one!
So far I have only done the paintings and some of the terrain but I figured I may as well create a topic and see how much interest it gets! For anyone who is interested, the name (according to google translate) means 'flowing' in Japanese. If there are any Japanese knowing forum goers out there, please correct me!
Download link now available! Have fun guys, please tell me any issues you have, problems or suggestions!
Wool guide!
Ok, most of you might know this by now, but my pack uses a lot of the coloured wool's as different textures. This is a guide to let you know what has been changed, and what it has been changed to! (these aren't in order!)
White wool - White plaster, still works as wool though which is why I did it!
Black wool - No change
Dark grey wool - No change
Light grey wool - No change
Red wool - Red plaster
Pink wool - Rice paper wall (suits wooden door)
Dark green wool - Plain fusuma
Light green wool - Fainted fusuma
Dark blue wool - Horizontal tatami mat (LHS)
Light blue wool - Horizontal tatami mat (RHS)
Brown wool - No change
Yellow wool - Red wooden planks
Dark purple wool - Vertical tatami mat (top)
Light purple wool - Vertical tatami mat (bottom)
Cyan (greeny blue) wool - No change
Orange wool - Black wooden panel (great as bottom floor of castles)
Update info
1.0 - Updated to work with 1.6.x
I added trapdoors, grass n' shrubs, maps, new gravel, new red flower, new items (with sushi!), new iron ore, new bookshelf, portal chocolate cake (will be changed when I get a good idea of what to change it to. Suggestions? :biggrin.gif:)
As always, many tweaks.
To use this pack to the full extent of it's ability and to get my custom biomes (cherry blossom trees), custom water colour and custom lava you're going to have to use a patcher. It's a pain, yes, but until Notch supports texture packs fully by letting us use custom biomes, water and lava, it's the only way to access them. I suggest using the Beta patcher I've provided in the link below. It installs once and lets you swap between any texture pack with the normal texture pack selector (in the main menu of Minecraft). It automatically patches the pack you switch to so you don't need to worry about re-patching every time you want to swap texture packs.
tl;dr, If you want cherry blossoms, pretty water and lava, click on the link below and follow the instructions in the thread.
EShredder - Awesome GUI! I slightly tweaked it, but still. Thanks! :biggrin.gif:
richasackboy - Used his armour as a base while I am still editing it!
doku - using re-sized versions of your leaves as a stand in till I create some proper ones!
Mojang - for making the game and making the base textures!
Me - for making this pack! :smile.gif:
Almost everyone in this thread - contributing ideas!
tooki - donated his wonderful iron door!
(still searching) - for providing a base for the biomes colouring!
Hmm, at first glance I though im looking at painterly... But then the building looks really nice (love the tatami!).
Looks great so far, will bookmark this to see more of it :biggrin.gif:

@sky_incera: Thanks! :biggrin.gif:
It does look a bit similar to painterly (probably the planks colour and style :tongue.gif:) but I can assure you, the only things used are from my other pack, Sheep pack (in my sig): for the awesome custom water and lava and the leaves, and default. So everything that isn't default is made by me!
Also, what other things can I add to make it more Japanese? I have rice paper walls and tatami mats (red wool and yellow wool unless I can think of a better place to put them :tongue.gif:) but I need moar! I have also made chests black lacquer with gold inlay but they don't look brilliant. Really hard to do at this resolution xD
tooo much pink, change the birch textures to look like cherry & make the oak looking trees the pine trees, because japanese pines are all bonzi-ed out and look more like regular trees. hmmm... Other than that, you should use something like this to be used as floor, since this is how they are...

Hmmm.... I can come up with other things, but this is all I feel like posting at the moment, but I'm not ragging on yah, I like idea, texture packs are good fun... anyway, peace out...
Paintings I guess. Obviously change the sword to a katana. What about the sun? If that's changeable then there's possibility there.
just got another good idea. change all the swords so that they are different japanese weapons. generally I think there are three blades that come standard with a katana (i think a tanto is one)... s words like ninjato, tachi, wakizashi, kodachi, and so on..... come to mind... take your pick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:J ... word_types
Meh, seems a bit daft to have all the tools as wepons...Japan did have axes, pickaxes, spades and hoes after all. Give them some kind of Japanese twist sure, but why turn them into weapons?
just the weapons...you must have misunderstood. but you make me think of yet another good idea, stylize everything!! Like, the beds, old school japanese beds are just a square pillow... So... change the beds to that. that would be so sweet...& if your into japan... google zatoichi...
Paintings I guess. Obviously change the sword to a katana. What about the sun? If that's changeable then there's possibility there.
Might've forgot to mention this, but I've already done the paintings :tongue.gif:
They're double resolution and looking very nice!
OF COURSE I have to make swords katana's :tongue.gif: can't have a Japanese pack without katana's!
Sun and moon are also changeable so I'm going to get onto that straight away. *hops on google images*

In game there isn't actually as much pink as I've shown in the screenshots. I had to take my boat to the other side of the ocean just to find the cherry blossoms and take screenshots of them! Might've gone a bit overboard with the screenshots though xD
By changing birch textures, do you mean leaf colour, leaf texture or log colour? I can actually only change log colour and texture so, yea. It's a limitation of the game :|
I like that wood flooring though, I'll add it in for sure. Just not sure what texture spot it should take up...
Thanks for the help and suggestions!
@everyone who ninja'd me, Thanks!
Not all the tools will be weapons as well, only swords :tongue.gif:
Will try to put a Japanese twist on things but it could be difficult.
Beds will be just a futon (I assume that's what you mean :tongue.gif:)
I actually made this a while back, I don't know if I still have the textures, but there are these sweet japanese ladders held together with rope. I would strongly suggest only using one horizontal section per piece of ladder, since the recipe for ladders looks like H not |=| but its the creators call.
I love this already (due to being a disgusting weeaboo). Please please please do more!
Weeaboo.
Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing them wrong and sounding like total assh----. You can find alot of these people clogging up the forums of Gaia Online, hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket, or crowding the manga section of your local bookstore.
Made it a bit friendlier :|
This was taken from the Urban dictionary btw... Still not entirely sure what you mean with the bolded bit though... explain please? :smile.gif:

Well I haven't made ladders yet so I will certainly keep it in consideration :tongue.gif:
Looks great! why not make the wooden sword as a wooden, iron, and golden katana (specific choice cuz stone looked bad at a katana) anyways, Good Texture pack i really like the trees, wood, door and the- wait what block is that tatami floor? keep this texture pack up to shape!

I know nothing of the names for the Asian weapons...but agree here. Should have the practice wooden/bamboo and stone swords. (bokken?)

I like the look of this one a lot! Great change of pace and atmosphere
:biggrin.gif: Thank you!
It's so soothing to play with! I don't know why... feels so calming and, dare I say it, Zen :tongue.gif:

Thats a great idea! The wooden practice swords were just bundles of bamboo sticks fashioned into a sword shape, right? I can do my best to make them!
The tatami floor ATM is yellow wool :tongue.gif: I already have wool and there really isn't anywhere else to put it! The red wool is the rice paper walls. I made them red and yellow so they are still easily accessible at the start of the game. (as you can see from my little house. Thats just before sunset on my first day! :biggrin.gif:)

Nice one. Wait for download :smile.gif:
Thanks! Will be up soon hopefully!
Quote from El Moppo »
I like it! But I think that not all trees should be Cherry Trees... Maybe make most trees green, and have only the slightly less common Birch Trees look like Cherry Trees?
Yea, I'll tone down on the cherry blossoms :tongue.gif: at the moment there still is a bit of green but not enough. I would use your idea of having birch cherry blossoms as well, but unfortunately you are unable to change the leaf colours for birch trees. It's just the way the game was made :tongue.gif:
Yeah..besides the biomes, it's also frustrating about the leaves. Do a cool texture for pine leaves and it gets thrown into certain trees as "hybrids" or something like that. Looks funky.

Up to date. Texture pack test track! As you can see, still WIP so please don't complain to me about things not being finished. I know.
Beautiful cherry blossums blow gently in the breeze. (I wish...)
Mountainous peaks, capped with snow!
Wish you were here! :tongue.gif:
First building made on this save! Already Japanese!
Tatami mats! Make that dojo you always dreamed of!
Awesome gui thanks to EShredder!
Ok guys, that's it for now. Please post a comment showing your interest, giving critique, etc. More to come!

Guess i'm gonna have to do something amazing with the biomes!
Or pine.
Makes me wonder why that other tree biome triangle even exists tbh!
Also this pack is very very cute.
