While working on updating my Mooncraft pack to be 1.2 friendly I came up with a stone texture that I really liked.
Liked enough in fact to make it the basis for a new pack.


(Textures are rather obviously first drafts.)

Now I am trying to decide where I should go with this pack so I figured I'd ask the forums for ideas.

Oh and that dirt/grass transition is just a placeholder while I play around with the grass pattern on the top of the block. Once I get it where I really want it, I'll drape it down the side for a smoother transition.

Don't you think the contrast on those textures is a little high? Do the textures look good from farther away?

Funny you should say that as I titled my working folder for it "high contrast pack".
As for how they look from further away...


I don't think they look too bad.

Got cobblestone and coal done

Got two more tiles done.

Iron ore


Deciduous leaves

Gold, redstone, and diamond

Yea not terribly happy with the redstone and diamond myself, they really don't fit in. I've also been playing around with reworking the leaves. (Made the leaves a single oval instead of the large three lobed things.)

Oh, and as for the dirt being gray scale, it isn't. It's actually the same faded tan color I used for the stone so that it would blend in with it better. That might be hard to see on some monitors though.

I generally don't do a whole lot with the biome colors because the game still has the bug where it won't apply them from a texture pack. :/

Bug entry for it on the tracking site:

I managed to scrounge up some time to do some more work on this pack

New dirt


Pine trees


New leaves


New redstone and diamond

Did some work on workbenches and furnaces

(I'm fairly happy with the furnace but I think the workbench needs some more work.)

Also, for those who want to beta-test the pack, I've decided to put up the current version for download.

Here is a shot of the terrain.png as it stands currently

Which one do you mean by hardwood? The original log texture or the birch?

The grass is still somewhat of a placeholder. I'm trying to decide if I want to do some biome magic on it or just have it be normal grass. By biome magic I mean making flowers appear in hot areas and puddles show up in wet ones. I may just release two final versions, one with the biome colors setup for doing the flowers and such and one for use with the default.

The sand/snow textures are placeholders I put in to have something closer to what I wanted in terms of color.
