.....GS v21 vid 2 - Terracotta & Concrete!

This short video is a showcase for the new GSv21 update and specifically covers terracotta and concrete.

Due to demand I have spent the last few weeks working on converting my strange architectural/decorative terracotta (left over designs from the days terracotta was called 'stained_clay' and there wasn't any concrete) to a more natural looking version.

All my old terracotta designs have now been re-used as colored concrete. This video showcases the changes.

I had used my old terracotta textures extensively throughout my old world 'The City of Newglim' and thought this would totally break it. It did, but not to the extent that it was impossible to edit it. So I've painstakingly removed all the new natural terracotta that had replaced my old tile, marble and brick textures, block by block and swapped the new concrete equivalent designs back in so it almost entirely looks the same again!

Colored terracotta now looks perfectly natural in mesa biomes and it has been designed in such a way as it can also second as concrete when used for construction purposes.

Thanks for your patience and thanks for watching.

looks amazing Glim

Thank you again very much, I appreciate the comments! Working in a bubble most of the time makes you wonder if it's worth it. Thank you.

Extra paintings?!?! Best news I've heard all day.

Oooh, getting into art deco? Welcome to the club. Fantastic work as always.

Extra paintings is a wonderful addition for sure and in the end although Art Deco is fantastic (and you should know, as you're the expert for sure) I thought it better to spread the designs across a wider field to encompass, Victorian, Edwardian, Surreal, William Morris, theater design, etc. But can't get enough of Art Deco!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with lots of extra paintings.

Thanks, Ozzy.

Is there any indication as to when v21 is coming?

Just about to upload 3rd and final GSv21 vid. If all goes well...meaning if I don't get called away to do something else...I hope to upload GSv21 resource pack sometime this week. I will also upload a greatly edited and up to date version of my Newglim City world map that will work with all the changes to terracotta. I spent a few days tediously swapping the new terracotta that was spattered around my buildings over to the new concrete textures (derived from the old colored terracotta).

GSv21 will also work fine with the full release version of Optifine and MC 1.13.2, but for those who don't use Optifine I've converted more random textures over to Json file control.

Switching terracotta over to a natural set of textures was another unavoidable big update, hence the delay. Updating should be more frequent in the future and a little more enjoyable for me as I release new textures as and when I complete them.

Thanks for asking.

Oh man, love the work, and can’t wait to finally play with these new textures. Also, it’s been almost 8 years I’ve been waiting on this. Page 666.. so close. I’m am so going to push my hand print into that wet cement. 😈 Also, I’ve said a lot already on the new textures <3 you know you’re the best in my eyes ~Toxic from YouTube~

Hahaha! 666 and you got the first post!

Hiya, Toxic/Doctor_Steampunk. Welcome to the Minecraft Forums.

A bit of a scary page, but the video I'm about to upload is perhaps appropriate for it! Pity that everything didn't coincide with Halloween, but pretty close nonetheless!

.....Glimmar's Steampunk v21 vid 3 - Atmospheric Emissive Magic!

This short video is a showcase for the new GSv21 update and specifically covers my introduction of Optifine's new 'emissive' function.

For those of you who like to use Optifine for those extras like better skies, extra random mobs, animations , colors, ctm and extra paintings can now also enjoy the delights of 'emissive' or 'glowing' textures in game.

Some of you might have already seen my glowing mushrooms in GSv20. In working to update my zombie villagers I had time to begin to introduce some extra examples of the Optifine emissive function, some example of which you will see in this video. There will be much more in future updates...time and pressures allowing.

Thanks for your patience and thanks for watching.

.....Glimmar's Steampunk v21 ***RELEASED***

Next installment of Glimmar's Steampunk GSv21 (fully Optifine enabled) is finally uploaded over at my Curse/Forge page! Check it out! Click on the link in my OP on page 1.

This update radically changes my old terracotta textures to random 'natural' versions of terracotta as per demand. It will alter your current world builds and if you rely heavily on my old terracotta (stained_clay) textures it will require work to convert things. All old terracotta textures like tiles, mosaics and marble, etc have been moved to concrete. It took me about a day to manually change everything in my City of Newglim back to the old textures using the new concrete versions. I couldn't find an up-to-date world editor to quickly convert things in my world, but it wasn't as huge a task as I'd anticipated.

GSv21 is now fully compatible with the latest version of Optifine for Minecraft 1.13.2 (GSv20+ was only able to work with 'preview' versions of Optifine).

Check out my preview videos (1,2 and 3) in posts above to see some of the new things I've been working on that you can now play with in GSv21.

You don't absolutely need Optifine to enjoy even more newly edited random textures, however if you do check out all my preview videos and want to see beautiful daytime and nighttime skies, loads of random mobs (now with glowing eyes and lights!), lots of extra paintings and more ctm that either can't be converted to random Json textures or haven't yet had time to do so...you'll find Optifine...and GSv21 makes all this possible.

Please see my GSv21 'Changelog' in previous posts above or in the 'readme' file supplied in the pack detailing the continuing task of updating the pack to work with Minecraft 1.13.2> including new random terracotta (doesn't require Optifine), new glazed terracotta and re-purposed concrete textures. This update also provides many extra paintings (requires Optifine) and improvements to zombie villagers and monster mobs, some of which have new Optifine 'emissive' functions by way of glowing eyes and lights!

Still much work to be done re-introducing animations to guis, mobs and paintings and of course all the new MC 1.10-1.14 additions will be added in small regular updates to come. Watch this space!

Lots to play with!

Thank you to all, especially my awesome patrons.

Just uploading a big edit to my 'Newglim City' world save download to match GSv21 and all the changes to terracotta. This version requires MCv1.13, Optifine for MCv1.13 and GSv21 to make sense of the world.

did you try using the /fill replace command?

Unbelievably gorgeous work, BTW.

I love cats, but the scene with the cats in the dark sent chills down my spine.

Oh?! Flip! does that command exist? Can I get a day of my life back using the same command?

Haha! Many thanks, Giam. Yeah...I found the cats in the dark more scary than any of the other mobs!

/fill <coordinates of one corner of the area> <coordinates of the opposite corner> <Newblock(e.g. minecraft:blue_concrete)> replace <OldBlock(e.g. minecraft:blue_terracotta)>

Unfortunately there is a 32,768 limit of blocks at a time (including air blocks) so you have to do it one building at a time, or as I use it one to 5 Y coordinates at a time depending on the size of the area. Also it doesn't preserve block states between similar blocks, which is important if replacing stairs.

That is a seriously useful bit of info for the likes of me, Giam. Why didn't I think to ask before spending an entire day swapping blocks around. Ah well, you only learn by making mistakes...except I'm not sure even that works for me! Many thanks for the example.
