Jolicraft & Joliween update for 1.9 pre-release v3
· added cauldron, brewing stand + gui, enchanting table + gui, custom jibberish characters, netherwart, added new icons for crafting materials, several other small tweaks
Owiiiiiii Gruntilda <3
Is her skeleton left behind after she burned ? :biggrin.gif:
Haha yeah, she's a bit of a combination of Gruntilda (minus the scarf) and one of the Weird Sisters from Macbeth (the snake, frog and bat are from the cauldron brewing scene, "Fillet of a fenny snake, In the caldron boil and bake; Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog").
Actually that'd be hilarious (and creepy!) if her skeleton was underneath the wool. I've got half a mind to actually make that now! XD
It looks like the enchanting table is missing on the custom pack. I noticed this on another texture pack that had a customizer as well, so it may be a problem with the site?
Hey sorry, I haven't added the new 1.9 stuff to the customizer yet. Been busy with thanksgiving this weekend (Canada). Will get it up very soon, and I'll let you know when it's ready.
Niiiiiiiiiiice. This is gonna be my desktop wallpaper for a while
Glad you liked it. Ironically enough, that was the last thing my video card ever did. Just bought that 570 4 months ago and it went out on me. Oh well!
Week 1: Build a statue
This was a very hard one to judge, and I had to keep reminding myself about the actual theme of the contest - building a great statue. Many of the entries were beautifully photographed, or very cute, or funny, or clever, and some I just loved. But in a statue building contest these things shouldn't matter, just the statue itself. I narrowed my choices down to 3 favorites, and I thought long and hard about which statue should win.
WINNER: Anselan
This statue is AWESOME. It's huge and epic, clever and well constructed, and has tons of personality. Really great form in the arms and legs. The stuffing coming out of the head, hands, and feet is a nice touch. I love how it looks in the bottom screenshots, just a giant pumpkin character sitting on a mountain, gazing out across the lands. Great statue Anselan!
Runners Up:
No prizes or anything for the runners up, but I had a hard time deciding between these 3 entries so I figured it'd only be fair to acknowledge some other great statues.
Kaldra's big zombie foot:
This one almost took the winning prize. I love the attention to detail - the decaying flesh over the meat, and the bone sticking out at the top. The shape of the foot. The toenails. Really well done statue. A shame there can only be one winner oilyfish's Bat out of hell:
As a statue, this is EPIC. It's a giant gargoyle perched on the empire state building, what a great idea. And a really great looking gargoyle too. I love the nostrils and wings. Awesome stuff.
THANKS
Thanks to everyone for the great entries. I loved almost every single statue that was submitted. Except the crappy ones, you know the ones I mean. Just kidding. But seriously, thanks so much for participating and enjoying Joliween. I hope you at least had fun :smile.gif:
NEXT UP: Week 2: Funniest Submission Wins
Time to tickle our funny bones (and other bones). Feel free to add captions or speech bubbles, build something funny in creative mode, capture a funny moment between a baby pig and a baby cow. Do whatever it takes, just MAKE US LAUGH!
So... the Joliween pack was just a seasonal thing...? If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me, but I really do love it, and I hope that you might consider updating it to 1.9 when it comes out. Or possibly doing a painterly option and having multiple seasons versions of the pack? But even if its not going to be updated, I think Jolicraft in general is well done so props to you my good sir!
(And those contest entries were ... astounding, congrats to them as well!)

Yeah it's a seasonal thing. It's been updated for 1.9 pre, and I'll be uploading most of the textures to the customizer so they'll always be available :biggrin.gif:, but I won't be updating the individual pack after Halloween.
Your packs are amazing. I have always gone for the 64x and above packs until I saw both of yours. They made me reevaluate
16x and 32x packs. Thanks for all the hard work.

I was actually thinking it should be 3 blocks of snow, and then enchanted charcoal.
(Though it might be even better if it was an enchanted top hat - but I'm not sure if Frosty the Snowman is very big over in Sweden.)

Good idea, will keep this in mind.

That is iron.That means you can do whatever you want with my pack as long as you say it was by me

Yay! Thank you!
I'm glad I could participate! Great job everybody. I was really impressed with the rest of the entries too.
I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with over the next few weeks. :smile.gif:
You should try for a two-fer. No rule against winning multiple times :wink.gif:
