Minecraft Forums

I've been working on this pack for a while now and would like to get some feedback, so tell me what you think. Its going to end up being a complete overhaul including terrain, items, mobs, hud, gui and particles.










Note that the glass in those photos isn't finished product, that was just for testing so i could see the mobs in my mob cages. Please leave any suggestions you may have.

Looks good so far. I like these sort of RPG approach to the textures many people are taking, and yours appears to retain that spirit while still making the world feel open and natural. The items look pretty awesome as well, so keep up the good work!

Looks good to me, can't wait to give it a try once you upload a pack zip.

is it just me..or does that stone shovel look like its showing its teeth?
it took me a while to get that it is supposed to be string

lol, i went to this thread when i looked under "view your posts" and im like..i didn't post on this, so i go here and see this and post since its nice.

Haha sorry about the name confusion

And yeah i've been meaning to make that string a little bit darker.

Here's some of the mobs i've been working on, they all need more detail but the concept is mostly done.


For the others I was thinking
Sheep=Goat [Greyish cloth?]
Cow= Yak or Bull
Chicken=Duck or pheasant (hence the currently brown feathers)

also, put the simg instead of the img so the image sits the forum size, or else the picture is cut off.

Looks great! I especially love the sand and stone tints. The grass looks very nice, too.
Although I do agree with Duke about the fuzziness on the ores/cobblestone.

All righty images fixed, thanks for the advice i didn't know how to make that work. Note that the creeper is a doodle and probably wont look like that in the end.

You crafty *******. In any other setting I would find this texture pack sort of eh, but you took screenshots of a landscape so kickass that I look past the features of this mod I usually dislike, like some fuzziness with the minerals and cobblestone, and some slightly funky colors. The rest is kickass though.

And remember to use the [.cimg][./cimg] tags to make your images scale to the forum dimensions.

Could you be more specific as to which colors seems funky? or is the contrast just too high as a whole?

And I see your point about the fuzziness of the ores, will try to fix that.

Also, PLEASE, don't modify redstone dust too much. It has the magical property to tell where north is, but texture modders think wires are fancy and remove that very useful redstone feature. Just saying.

Huh i didn't realize that it pointed north, ill keep that in mind for when i do the texture (haven't done that one yet)

Looks very good!, maby do something neat with the gui aswell :smile.gif:
will keep an eye on this one for sure

Thanks :biggrin.gif:

You sir, are made of win. The only thing I have a beef with is the dirt, it looks a bit too grainy and contrasted which doesn't fly at long distances.

you, sir, stole my diamond item(nott he blocks). mine looked quite like that,just a LOT more blue. btw, diamond blocks, do you know how to make it so it doesnt use the top texture on all four sides? i edited it and it just used the top side, which looks like a bunch of stacked diamonds, and the sides and bottom resemble a crate. but now it looks wierd.

Just because your diamond item looks like his doesn't mean he stole it.

In other words, I really like this pack. all I can say is, the sand is a little bit to red. And it would add a nice effect were you to make the shadows on the gold ore orange.

Me loves its... i wantz it... gives me it...pleases?

I suggest you make the creeper look snake-ish like in the one mob pack I saw, it seems to fit the sounds they make etc. also I agree that the chickens act a lot like ducks, they are always splashing in and out of water.

Really nice work.. when it's done i will surely download it.. btw.. I love the sand color of it... leave that... it's great...
well.. i'll make sure to keep an eye on here...
Gl finishing it

Gratz, Beathag

I'm sorry if it seems that way but I swear I haven't stolen anything from anywhere, I plan on entering this pack into the contest so it is all original work.
As to your question, (i havent done the solid metal blocks yet) from what i can tell, something about the last update screwed with the way those blocks are textured so that they use the top texture for all sides of the block and the middle texture for the little bits that fly off when you break it. This is hopefully something Notch will fix soon.
Heres the thread i found about it.

Have you ever seen a chicken near water? Birds take baths voluntarily you know!
And in Minecraft even skeletons splash in and out of water. Are they skeleton ducks? And the player splashes in and out of water! are you a duck?.
Also creepers are (canonically) plant creatures, as amusing as it is.

Actually I was leaning more towards some kind of pheasant or quail than a duck. And the snakey creeper idea is actually pretty good.

Sorry this post is so dry, ill try to have new pictures soon.



Edit: Ghastkins! cant deside if they will stay though considering ill probably redo the ghast skin, also a clearer view of the chest.

actually, i am retooling my private texturepack, never released, so YOU TELEPATHICALLY STOLE MY PLANS. but its cool. but you guys were being like serious. you could never find a texture pack by me, cuase i havent released one yet and i pretty much suck:3
and btw, how do i get it so minecraft reads the sides and bottom textures for the diamond block, not just the top?

It certainly has a western feel to it. The wooden pickaxe was pretty funny. Who let the retard make tools!?

I don't believe there is anything you can do short of going into the code and fixing it yourself. I'm sure notch will fix it soon.

I..ah..erm..what? Is that a compliment or criticism?

This is one of the better 16x16 packs I've seen. Please update the first post when you're ready to release!
