Man, this update is adding a massive workload.

I'm looking forward to bats!

or the new BetterSkies patch in mcpatcher.
Kudos, Disethas!

I've been looking at that.
I'm actually quite fond of the default sky color, though I may decide to change the color for certain biomes.

2nd, the chainmail helmet texture needs to be fixed as it isn't transparent in your "facial area".

That's intentional, to sort of give an ominous look to someone decked out in chainmail. Something like this.

Out of curiosity, are you working with the snapshots?
Or are you waiting for the final release at the end of the month?

I am planning to do the latter, unless some circumstance calls for otherwise!

My only request would be that the apples look a little odd...

Hmm, what problems do the apples have and what could I do to make them better?

Hey, just wondering, could you update ALL the textures on the Customizer? The GUI and other things aren't the same as the Forum updated pack. The Customizer still has the old GUI which doesnt scale correctly.

Sorry, quite a few of my textures seem to have gone missing.
I've added the missing creative menus; the status effect menus; the revised furnace menu, with blaze rods; the new clouds; the new end elements; the changes to some farm animals; the new green slime; a round sun option; the new menu background; the new blazes; and the new hotbar GUI pieces.
I've removed the old 'high contrast' menu parts from the customizer, as I haven't been creating high contrast GUI elements for newer updates.

So, about the 1.4.2 update to the texture pack, are you working on it?

I'll begin working on it, ASAP!

About the customizer as well, with the different moons, you'll need the different colors to match the cycles otherwise the different colors only appear on full moons. I have the blue one if you wanted it (color matched as close as I could). But give one more re-check of the textures in the customizer for accuracy, some of the menus do not work. (hate to pester but I love to mix your pack with a few others and it's so easy with that site)

I actually have a sheet of 9 different variants, but I haven't found the time to implement the 8 unused ones into the customiser. I can get on that at once, after I finish the 1.4 update!



Could call the second row, "How to Fail Geometry".

I also had the idea for the default texture: instead of using phases of the moon, each day brought a new, differently colored moon. Opinions from anyone and everyone would be welcome.
My thoughts are that simple phases of the moon seem too bland and uneventful, and I have two extra colors sitting around, that I could make use of.

As for progress on 1.4, I only need to implement the growing textures for the carrots/potatoes and make the textures for the wither.

Updated to 1.4.2!

Quote from Changelog »

October 29th
'Cast in Iron'
Fully compatible with 1.4.2;
Wither skeletons and boss textures added.
Wither skeleton has one randomob texture.
Normal skeletons have a new randomob texture.
Bat textures added.
ADDED POT.
Anvil texture.
Beacon textures added.
Carrot and potato textures added.
Dyed leather textures added.
Pauldrons on all armor are now smaller.
Iron blocks are now cast iron.
Possibly more, but I've probably forgotten.

The beacon is a decidedly golden color.




This is because the wither and wither skeleton have been given a very particular motif. Rust or roughness, and the desirable material within. The color scheme is gunmetal and yellow.
They look somewhat robotic. You could call them golems.




The wither effect is represented by an hourglass, as if to compare it to the march of time.



The health effect is represented by the metal inlay being removed.



The iron block has been changed to cast iron, in order to match the anvil, wither, and cauldron textures. Metal tools and armor are still refined.
(I may make iron golems cast iron as well, opinions on this would be welcome!)



I also redesigned the topic post.

Is the Customizer going to be our for 1.4.2 soon? Downloaded this Texture Pack today and love it! Just a couple things I don't really care for and would like to change..

The customizer should now be properly updated!
