Thank you, Cupcakes
I'm sorry I didn't show it to you first. Please accept my apology
So, should I make a "Shiny New Stuff" pack as well?

[LutherAD]

That would be kind of cool actually - Maybe as your next project

Loving the new stuff ozBillo - looking good.

It's got me thinking ... but I better finish the current project first!

Thanks, LutherAD. I appreciate your support.

Strong work deserves strong support - You sir, create strong material.

Any chance we can get some Nether Upgrades? It's a little disjointing ATM when I travel to the Nether and I'm greeted by 16x16 Graphics after the beauty of the Mortal Realm

Ahhh... see, I rarely leave the Mortal Realm. As a result, the Nether textures have been neglected.
I have made the first stumbling attempts at a soul sand texture.
But, with the Nether stuff, I haven't had that lightbulb over my head light up when I look at them in PaintShop Pro.
I need to spend more time in that Chaotic Realm and just let it soak in. That means I'd need to stay alive for longer than 5 seconds. I'd better suit up!

First attempt at Glowstone. (Edit) Actually, it's the Redstone Lamp

[LutherAD]

Hmmm; I like it but it screams "Redstone Lamp" rather then "Glowstone" to me - Glowstone is always the tough one; the number of texture packs with a disjointed Glowstone texture.

Could I suggest something a bit more Stone/Ore like? I always pictured Glowstone as chunks of Bright Green/Yellow gemstone sticking out of the Netherrack of the Nether.

Just my input.

[HeadHunter67]

I agree that the Tiffany/Wright style works better for a redstone lamp than as glowstone.
The challenge with glowstone is similar to sandstone - making something that looks natural and "organic" if you'll pardon the term, yet still attractive as a building material.

Ahhhhh... penny's dropped. I'd seen both but just thought they were different people's interpretation of Glowstone. Of course, mine should be the Redstone Lamp. Thanks, guys.

Updated for 12w08a.
Added textures for Redstone Lamp (screenshot).
Rustier iron block and furnace.
Fixed Crafting Table II hinges and added inventory item texture.
First post and download updated.

[DarkMother]

I have no idea what that crafting table II does exactly (Yet!), but the look of it and the cupboard door design are both beautiful.

I have seen a Wallsafe mod somewhere that would really look good with that kind of door.
If I can fid it again, I'll leave you a link, ozbillo.

Not demanding it be made or anything, just musing on concepts.

Personally, I like the crystals in netherrack concept for glowstone, but I favor a amber shade of crystal over green...

I'm still getting my ass handed to me by blazes and ghasts in the Nether on a regular basis, so I know it can be difficult to appreciate the scenery when it is blowing up around you!

Hi, DarkMother

It's a great mod. You don't have to position items on a grid to make things. It presents you with a visual list of the things you can make with your current inventory. And item descriptions, as well.

I had a quick look and couldn't find it. If you do, please send me the link.

I actually had an easy run on my last visit to mine some Glowstone. Must have caught them on their coffee break.

I hope Ganesha, Brigit and Hermes and free on Monday. Got my first job interview

[LightBringer81]

Hi, do you plan to add IC2 and maybe BC-IC crossover mod textures also?

[ozBillo]

Hi, LightBringer81.
At this stage I don't have a plan to do IndustrialCraft or the BC-IC stuff. That may change.

[ozBillo]

First attempt at actual Glowstone.
What do you reckon?

i like it!
could you try adding a border?

(maybe you can use your bedrock as neatherrack)

EDIT:are you planning on making tools to?

EDIT2:can you make connected textures support?
(the mod itself is outdated,but its a part off optifine)
