Just uploaded version 0.8 guys!
Because there were a couple of changes in the coloured wools, I also included a wool guide in the OP!

This version brings a raft of new blocks, a couple of tweaks and some major personalization to the armour! Diamond is still the same because I haven't started re-texturing it yet, but all the others have been changed (iron is still only about 50% done but I've done enough blocks to warrant an update)
Enjoy it, and as always, leave any feedback you feel you need to tell me!

I really like this update, especially the new windows and cloth armor.
But you might want to change the armor folder because at the moment there are both versions of the golden armor, the old and the new one so people might have problems with installing it.

Oh, i'll have a look at that now, thanks for telling me :smile.gif:

Lol, it's funny i didn't even realize there's 1.5 update. The first thing i check this forum is your texture pack.

Anyway, this pack become absolutely brilliant! I think i am gonna use this pack as my main pack beside jolicraft. Awesome works as always!

xD
Thanks for that, that makes me happy AND proud :biggrin.gif:

I love this pack. I'm not even that big a fan of Japanese stuff, but the landscape is fantastic!

Next update will have some biome improvements! Mostly in the trees, so keep an eye out for that! :biggrin.gif:

Does anyone else feel like a samurai when they use the katana. This texture pack is great keep up the great work.

theres only one thing i dont like its that the iron ore looks like the stone besides that it's great

Yea, the iron ore is something I still haven't gotten right >.>
It's surprisingly hard....

Keeps getting better and better, and thanks for adding the wools in the OP. I like the iron myself, but it does need to be a little brighter. Keep it as is, just make the iron slivers in the rock a bright silver colour so they stand out.

Yea, I'll do that now. Do you think I should use original mineraft colour (dull... bronze-y brown colour) or the silver colour I'm using at the moment?

Can you make custom bow and arrows please [>>-i>] and by the way swords and armors are wonderful Nice pack

Yea, once I do the armours I'm going to be working on: Improved biomes, mossy cobble, the rest of the tools, signs, boats, minecarts and then maybe change some items to make them more.... Japanese (rice seeds, rice balls, rice for the crops and probably bow and arrows)

Such a pun. Very Ironic.

*wince* xD
That was.... punny...

I like the texture pack, just want the other tools to be skinned differently too.

Also the new skin for the glass...make me feel like I'm in jail o-o

They're coming, hopefully in the next update!
It's a very Japanese style of window... look up pictures of Japanese castle's and things and 90% will have slatted windows >.>
I think they look great! (the old windows are an alternate anyway)

Hey Sheep!

I've been using this pack for a couple days now, and it's goooooood.
I don't have any complaints yet btw.

Keep working please! Default moss is baaaaaaaaaad.

Thanks!
Mossy is something I honestly forgot about O.o
It's coming in the next update though.

Hey, just wondering if you have one of the maps that lets you show all the blocks at once? I have a few downloaded if you want me to find them again for you!

Urmmm, I have the link to one but I haven't actually used it yet, for WHATEVER reason...
Maybe I should though! :smile.gif:

Quote from boktor666 »

thanks mate, got it up and running. I forgot to patch the thing.

Glad you got it working! :biggrin.gif:

Looks really nice. Can you put screenshots in "Fancy" graphics, too?

All the screenshots taken by me are fancy and far :|
The ones on the front page aren't really current anymore..... I'll change them in a minute!
And don't worry, leaves ARE easy to see through in this pack :smile.gif:

Haha yeah they're pretty good, helps you see if everything fits together, and if you've forgotten to change something from default :smile.gif:

Yea, I'll post one as soon as I finish the wheat and mossy cobble :biggrin.gif:
Then I think it's just nether blocks? Oh, and ore blocks.

Almost done the tweaks I wanted on the armour!
Then on to the items :biggrin.gif:
I would post screenshots, but at the moment, i'm lying in bed working from my netbook. Also means that I can't check if there are any glitches with it which means I can't release an update until sometime tomorrow...
Oh well, I'll post the progress on the items a bit later (no pics, just the .png)

For silver, maybe do some dark shading around the slivers? might make them stand out more!

Yea, I'm starting off with making some rice balls as replacements for bread, rice as wheat and rice seeds as.... seeds...
Not sure how rice seeds are any different, but eh... I'll change it anyway :smile.gif:

How does that relate to silver? ;p

Oh derp, forgot to answer you! O.o
Ok.....
yea, I was thinking of either removing the 'borders' of all the tools or keeping them...
In game with the un-bordered tools would look fine and it allows more creativity, but they're harder to do right... especially silver ;D
All the katana's currently have a border... What do you think I should do? No border or border? :|

That's awesome! :biggrin.gif:

You should use border that are the same colour as the tools but just a little bit darker i think those kinda borders look cool if you actually make borders.

Yea, I think I might make them a bit brighter than default because they seem a little too dark to me :smile.gif:
