Welcome to Monteggerioni!

Welcome to the official Assassini-Costruttori thread. Inspired by the textures of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, this pack will serve all your historical needs and satisfy that Assassin's Creed craving.

YOU MUST HAVE THE HD PATCH INSTALLED TO USE THIS PACK. Otherwise your gold blocks will be on fire, the nether will look like water, liquids won't flow, fire will be replaced by an ugly red block, etc.

What's the difference between the Assassin version and the Renaissance version?
A: The Assassin version contains textures unique to the Assassin's creed world. These textures, such as Abstergo nether and hand-hold ladders, work well for adventure maps, but maybe don't look so great for regular minecraft.

The Renaissance version is generic minecraft-- no futuristic textures or obscure references to the Assassin's creed game. You can think of it as merely a historical pack.

Screenshots

Spoiler

Now with weapons. The gold sword is the dagger of Romulus from Brotherhood (although it's more of a stilletto than a dagger...). Yes, it looks derpy. It's supposed to-- gold swords are useless.

Why do the nether blocks look futuristic and not at all like the others, you ask?

Well, it all ties back into the plot of assassin's creed-- the 'reality' of renaissance Italy is actually just a genetic memory that the main character Desmond is reliving, thanks to a fancy device called the Animus (which is run by the bad guys, by the way). Anyway, the netherack blocks are made of metal and carry the Abstergo (bad guy) logo to symbolize the place Desmond is held captive. Ditto for the glowstone (which is supposed to look like stylized flourescent lights). The soulsand is made to resemble the glitchy 'program' that Desmond uncovers hidden within the Animus, which I thought was perfect since the Nether is another realm anyway.

Looks really good so far, but I'd recommend:
- adding a bit of grass to the side of a grass block.
- making bricks be a bit more consistent in their colors (less varying colors).

The rest looks great!

Instead of adding grass to the side of the blocks (which always clashes with the top when running the HD patcher) I added little weeds to the cracks. Take a closer look at the screenshots and you should see them (they don't appear on regular dirt).

Add sidegrass!!!
Sidegrass is being fixed for 1.5 so it fits with biomes. That should stop any complaints you have about it clashing AND make everyone happy!
Apart from that though, it really looks great!

I do see them, however the grass ending on the top of the block looks a bit weird.

Also sidegrass is being fixed, so that won't be a problem anymore. :3

Now that I know about the 1.5 fix, I'll definitely go back and add sidegrass. Thannks for the review!

Looks very nice. I especially like the smooth stone, iron door, cacti, and torches..and most of it actually. Guess I'm not crazy about the nether, but it fits with the game(havn't played it) and I rarely go there anyways )

So yeah, I like it a lot, keep it up.

*Points to top of post*

I guess you would be one of those people interested in a non-assassin's creed pack that has 'regular' nether blocks?

I need link naoooo!!!

Everything except the grass and dirt looks amazing. Side grass would be nice, and consider making the dirt darker, and see how it looks.

I agree, I love this and I will dowload it as soon as you put up a link, but the dirt through me off, I thought it was sand stone. If you just make it a little less yellow it will be great!
Also, will you be makeing a set of Assassin skins to go with the pack? that would be really cool.

Edit: I had an idea for you you could make 'almost' invible ladders, that just have one of those metal bars that stick out from the walls in the game, then you can look like you are really scaling the walls rather than climbing a ladder.

Yep! How did you discover my evil plan?! *Cackles*

Expect Ezio, Female Assassin, male assassin, Leonardo Davinci (for those peaceful builders out there), and Cesare Borgia! (for those who simply love being evil).

And that is an EXCELLENT idea for the ladders. I will definitely do something like that and have it as an alternate texture...or the main one, if I decide it looks better

Is...is it possible that there is hope for assassin's creed in minecraft? Thank you good sir for bringing sexy back
Also the smooth stone and ores look too smooth in my opinion. Can you make them look a bit more rough or provide alt. textures?

I was going to roughen the ores up a bit anyway, but I'll look into it.

Glad you like it. I went back and tweaked the grass and will be posting updated screenshots shortly.
