I have a great idea for a mod! It would involve having multiple, slightly different terrain.png files (each with different names of course). While playing the game, blocks of the same type would have slightly different textures on each side, each of these textures chosen at random by one of the few terrain.png's. For example, if I placed a cobblestone block, the top of the block would be a slightly different texture than the sides and bottom. If I destroyed the block and placed it again in the same place, all the different sides would have different textures than before.
Basically, it's like a randomobs for blocks. The mod would make the game choose a random texture for each block type for each of that block's sides. It would add a lot of realism the the game and you wouldn't always see lines of the same textures like you do now. I'm guessing it could also be adapted to work with texture packs, but the pack artists would have to make their own new textures.
I'm not requesting the mod just for myself. It would be great for everyone! It could be right up there with other great aesthetic mods like wild grass and the water shader.
P.s. I realize that this would be quite difficult to code, probably editing a lot of base minecraft files, but if anyone would like to take this on, I would be happy to do the alternate default textures.
