This pack... makes me kind of depressed lol. Love it. Personally won't use it since I like my Minecraft to feel a little less like rehearsed suicide and more like bunnies and unicorns :tongue.gif:.
Absolutely LOVE the work though. Looks absolutely amazing.
Hah! Aww, I can respect that! It's all about personal taste. I have my hoppy bunny days and my "normal" days (normal for me would be depressed for you lol). Hoppy bunny days are usually my Jolicraft days. Normal days are my own texture pack usually (at least lately).
And thank you! I appreciate the compliment. :biggrin.gif: So glad to have that little bit of encouragement. :happy.gif:
a few small critiques, the brick looks a tiny bit plastic. The chest could also use a slightly more prominent shadow under its lock (to give is a bit of depth)
I love the changes, they are prime. Those furnaces too, oh my god, wow. *insert jealousy here* I am in love with your cobble too.
You know you hit the nail on the head about the brick. I went through like...5 different brick patterns, colors, etc. I was really having a rough time. I decided I'm definitely making this thing available via the customizer because I can't decide on ONE texture :tongue.gif:. I think this will be the "official" brick, though. I'm going to try to take some of that sheen off, I think that's what's giving it that plasticy look.
And thanks for the tip on the lock on the chest! :biggrin.gif: I'll play around with it and see what I can do for the shadowy-ness!
Decided to slowly update the OP with screenshots of the textures in use rather than just...there.
Wood planks. :smile.gif: The windows will be changed eventually, they're the older version. I wasn't happy with my newer version. Torches are staying the same, though! The stone planks you see on the road are newish, but I'm not happy with them at all.

planks look brilliant. The stone half steps have some big tiling issues (but as you said you are not happy I am sure this will change.)

I envy your torches, i forgot how good they were.
Aw, thanks dorian! And yeah, the stone slabs are probably my least favorite texture ever at the moment. :dry.gif: That texture is actually a month or two old, I was just so aggrivated after I gave up working on them that I haven't even looked at them on the texture sheet since. I'm such a procrastinator. :happy.gif:
I took another look at your pack earlier (downloaded) and I was like. O_O A torch that I LIKE! I hate torches (as you know). D:
Sorry, it's not up for download yet! I'll post an early release for everyone once I've finished the terrain though. :smile.gif:

so many people disliked my torch hahha. I think I may do a lantern alternate sometime. I need to get a couple more textures done and get 0.9 ready with the 1.8 textures for minecraft.... If I miss the release date, oh well.

What?! I..I like your torches. Please do keep them as alternates at least! And as far as 1.8 goes, I'm excited too! :biggrin.gif: Can't wait to see what you're doing for them. Knowing how slow I work, I won't get to work on them until Minecraft's beta is over. Har har!

Okay, in all seriousness, I'm eagerly awaiting this pack, that wood, oh my, that wood!
NoOoo! Don't shoot yourself in the foot! <Frantically covers the wound with dirt> I'm not sure if that was useful or not...
Anyway. Thanks! :biggrin.gif: I'll try to keep all of you guys updated as much as possible and make that early release...as early as I can! Heh.
Oh, speaking of which - new screenie! I had a few hours before work today and I've been running around trying to get better/new screenshots of things.
Your going to make me shoot my other foot aren't you? For someone called Spirtuality that's not very wholly...! (*giggles*)
And since I editted a bit late on my last post, please look up at my last post. :smile.gif:
Oh I saw it and I actually fixed the OP! You were right. I think that before I took my break I meant to change it to lowercase, but the silly title thing on the top of this page puts it in all caps and I always forget. D:
Anywho, thank you for the suggestion! :biggrin.gif:
Yay! New screenshots for the slightly tweaked wood and the brand new stone slab (top and sides).
I've shown the stone slabs with a couple of pieces of normal stone in there to show that you can use the regular stone with stone slabs on top for a little bit of architectural decoration. The tops of the stone slabs are obviously the tiled floor.
Wahoo! Another screenshot! I really should be sleeping and I'll regret staying up this late tomorrow but for now I'm loving it!
Anyway, here's a mock dungeon to showcase the new mossy cobble. I really, really, really wanted to stay within the boundaries of cobblestone itself so it's not just a random block that looks nothing like cobblestone. BUT, I absolutely hate how the transition from normal cobble and mossy cobble looks if you simply make cobblestone with moss on it.
So, my compromise was to make a block that had the same cobblestone "border" so that it would tile nicely with a larger interior tile that has moss on it! I think I like how it turned out, and it tiles nicely so my OCD tendency doesn't fire off every time I see a dungeon.
Thanks. :happy.gif: I'm going to post with some new updates soon!
And by soon, I mean in like five minutes. I'm working on a few textures that have been left rotting for weeks now so I hope I can show you guys a peak.
In other news, though, I *do* have something to show you that I've been working on for quite a while!
Custom cloud map
I know that it may seem all "herpty derp, black and white image of squiggles" but it's really somewhat of a milestone for me. This is the first cloud map that I've made that I'm more than ... at least 75% happy with. Cloud maps are ridiculously hard for me, since I mostly hate Minecraft clouds to begin with. Anyway, thought I'd include you guys in my mini celebration!
Im back, if you remember me from the first page :tongue.gif: Your torches are purely Amazing!. Any possible way I could be a beta tester :3
Hi! Aw thanks! Torches are one of the few textures that haven't been touched (and probably won't be heh). :happy.gif: I'll be releasing a public "beta" of the texture pack as soooon as I finish the terrain file. I'll be sure to let you know when!
Not as HAWT as you! Thanks Dorian. :tongue.gif: Stupid dumb wool is giving me trouble, of all the things. And I think I'm going to redo that stupid cloud layer too. Today has not been a very productive day for Ashencraft. I do something, delete it, do something else, delete that. Bah.

better than my texture pack making at the moment, its consists of building PC's for other people and playing deus ex. :tongue.gif:
p.s. not hawt, hence why I cover my face with a masquerade mask in my picture.

What is up with that game?! I see it everywhere and have no idea what it even is. I need to Google may way back to modern times apparently. :blink.gif:
And I'm sorry you have to build lots of PCs! Here have a Notch head!
P.S. I don't believe it!
P.P.S. Since I value your opinion I may send over some PM screenies of wool to see what you think. I don't really want to release screenshots of unfinished textures. I don't want this thread to go completely to texture Hell!

And nooo! No more foot shooting!
Thank you! I think I'm finally happy with it, it blends well with the stone and that's what I was going for. One texture down - 17 gazillion to go!

Aw hi Oxi! Thanks! I'm glad you like all of the changes and stuff. :smile.gif: Thanks for sticking with me through it!
I'll try to show some new stuff off soon, but the work week is coming back around. >_<
