So the purple swamp issue is pretty big. The thing is, the only way to get rid of it is to up the saturation of the grass. This change would completely change the aesthetics of the pack. So much so that continuing the pack beyond 1.8 seems almost pointless. I'd be better off taking the texture work I've done and start a new pack. This would likely not happen for long time. If these changes are in the final release of 1.9, 1.8 will likely be the last version for Isabella.

='( ok, if you think so... but your pack is the one I like most in this forum.

Bonemouse, I live sort of close to the Mojang Offices (that being 7 hours away, in car). Want me to get up there, and tell them to fix it, so you can continue on with your beauty? :3

I may have been a little cranky from trying to deal with the purple swamps for about 6 hours straight yesterday. Not exactly what I had in mind for my day off.

I'm still working on 1.9 with the assumption that this will be fixed. If it isn't fixed... Well... We'll just have to get used to purple swamps.

I've done the mushroom cows and the mushroom biomes which I'm pretty happy with. I still need to do a complete nether overhaul (going red, for real) but have a decent beige nether brick texture in the meantime. I've also temporarily removed the endermen eye texture because it was turning them white (did this happen before?!)

LOL

Jeb tweeted about how he likes to go to the Painterly site and see what Kaz is up to. To me this says that they do have interest in continuing to support texture packs. Which make me hopeful.

My one concern is that I'm not finding many other texture packs that are having similar issues and so Mojang may not be aware that there's problem.

Anyways, I'm going to be working on mobs for a bit. Specifically the villagers. There will be two or three versions. One will be similar to the default villagers, another will be less weird looking (no crazy nose and hats to hide the giant noggins), and the last will be pigmen. I also want to update the pigmen, nether pigmen, pigman player skin to be more inline with the new snouted pigs.

Here's an updated palette I'm thinking of using for the Nether.



Netherakk, Nether Brick Dark, Nether Brick Light

Smoother Soul Sand, Bordered Glowstone, Red Sand Soul Sand

Gravel (darker), borderless Glowstone, Lava

Still working on it but comments are welcome.

This texture pack, to me, is the best of all x16 texture packs!

Awesome work! for you

I was late to try this texture pack, and now that I am I cant stop, this is an amazing pack in so many ways. The subtle use of colors and textures make for a unified and clear art direction. Your most recent nether comps keep up to this standard and ensure im going to really enjoy 1.9 with your texture pack.


(Love the macuahuitl inspired gold sword by the way)

Can we get a classic looking cobblestone texture for the customizer? Since right now it looks a bit too similar to stone bricks.

Classic as in default vanilla texture? Because I've changed cobblestone to be non-brick-like since 1.8.

Yeah, like the vanilla textures. The cobble texture right now looks like smaller bricks. At least to me.



I don't mean to offend or sound like I want you to cater to my need, it would just be nice if there was an alternative; the more the merrier right? :smile.gif:

Ah, I getcha. It's NOT the best timing with the new update on the horizon. I'll put it on my to-do list but in the meantime, there's an option in the customizer called "rough cobblestone" that may work for you.

Oh damn, how could I have missed that! I even used to the customizer to download the pack. The rough cobblestone is exactly what I meant, thanks!

I'll post what I got tomorrow.

I got a bit distracted by the swamp issue, sorry. And I've been working on the mobs more then I had planned to.

The water color gradient has been in the source for a few updates now. I've been meaning to do that file but I haven't seen the point much until it's been implemented and I can test it. Perhaps I'll give it a shot with this mod.

LOL I meant NOT the best timing! I have the habit of leaving out words. Usually it's no big deal.

Because it was my screw up and I had photoshop open AND it was pretty easy to copy the bottom half of the door and paste onto the top, I have made a full door.

ALSO!!!

Customizer is updated for 1.9 PR!
*Minus lava slimes and villagers

FUUUUUuuuuuuuuuu
