Since the new Pre-Release for Beta 1.9 has been released, I have already noticed plenty of new textures that need to be redone. If anyone could explain the nature of each of these new textures, especially the ones in the gui folder like the "evil heart bar" and the new items and the new icons in the inventory file, that would be very helpful. The faster I know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing the faster I can actually get to doing it, and the faster I can release the next version for all of you to use.
EDIT: Is it just me... or does that new block look suspiciously like it could be the lantern?
To me the new bit in the terrain.png looks like a cauldron for the potions (Not implemented yet I think.)
In the gui folder
Slot appears to be for the new repair menu
In the icons file, the new set of icons seems to be for hardcore mode based on this
"Hardcore mode: game over when you die, hearts have new icons"
Inventory.png has new icons, likely potion effects. I know the heart with the brown shape is poison. Definitely cave spider poison, maybe food poisoning or some other type as well.
For items.png (Not 100% sure)
The items beneath cooked chicken is the spider eye. Apparently you can eat it but it poisons you.
Below the ghast tear is the fermented spider eye made with a spider eye, sugar, and a brown mushroom. Probably a potion ingredient
Below the gold nugget is the glass bottle. Craft it by placing glass in the shape of a bucket.
below wart seed... I have no idea.
To the left of the purple dye is blaze powder (get 2 from a blaze rod) and then below that is magma cream (blaze powder+slime ball)
Then at the bottom are many more records, one of which appears broken.
The misc folder now has glint.png, not sure what it'd be used for
The new glowstone texture looks terrible(No offense). I liked the old one better. Even the old one wasn't my favourite though. It has to be like the old one but more uniform if you know what I mean.
Thanks,

To be honest, I think the old one looked terrible. The stones in both the default texture and my old texture don't look like they're shining or glowing at all. If it wasn't for the fact that the block emits light, all those stones would just look like big round hunks of some ugly yellow rock.
At least this new texture looks like it would actually emit light. As for the "stone" part of it, I'm still not done and I'm going to try to make those glowing patches look more like stones than just balls of light.
It isn't very easy to make a glowstone block that does ALL of these:
- Looks natural hanging down from the ceilings in the nether.
- Looks aesthetically pleasing used as lamps or placed in houses.
- Looks like it is actually glowing aside from emitting light.
- Looks like it is made out of stones that tile properly.
This is probably the second most annoying project I have taken on, aside from the biome colors.
Not sure you guys remember me, but I was having tons of trouble installing the pack before. I finally got it installed last week, and it is amazing. I especially love how the diamond block can be used for magnificent flooring. If I could spare money right now I would, so instead I shall give you pluses. Be grateful.

Thank you! Finally someone who appreciates the beauty of my diamond block and knows how to use it! XD

There is a direct link at the bottom of my first post.
And now for a completely unrelated note: I will be uploading Mixcraft v39 tomorrow morning, which will work with the second 1.9 pre-release!
Mixcraft v39 Pack has just been released. It is compatible with the second 1.9 pre-release. Once again, some of the textures I'm only using as placeholders, (such as the blaze powder, magma cream, and spider eyes, which were made by Lithiumsound). I did this because I wanted all of you to be able to use the pack over the weekend, but I am still working on finishing up the rest of the textures that need editing.
Unless there is another pre-release, Mixcraft Version 40 will be released shortly after the Beta 1.9 update.
Hey Kool,
You know what I'd love to see in this pack? An up-sized icons.png!
Yes, yes, I do realise that it is a little extra work, but I think that the smoothness of the lines that you could create, especially for the hunger bar and the server availability icons, would make the little extra time alllllllll worth it!
Just an idea...
Also, how come red cows get tails but normal ones don't?! What sort of favouritism is this! :wink.gif:

If I helped you, why not click the little green button in the bottom right of my post?
Thanks lixivium. Those leggings are going to be annoying. Good point about the glowstone powder.
And yes, I have seen the swamp water. I think it looks really good, especially with the lily pads.

That's all I could find.
Thanks, that helps a lot. I should have the textures done by tomorrow night.

I'm going to take new pictures over the weekend and re-format my original post. I will include the armor.

Good luck with the glowstone, though.

Sheesh. How do you find the time to make a texture pack while mining all that diamond?!
Hehe. I'd just go get some in Creative mode...
Hmm. Diamond Castle, anyone?

1.9 only adds stuff, so it shouldn't mess with anything from 1.8.
