Assassins. Builders.
Step into a world of Renaissance intrique with Assassini-Costruttori. With this richly detailed and historical pack, you can create anything from a quaint Italian villa to the Sistine chapel- even recreate scenes from the Assassin's Creed games for the ultimate old-school parkour experience!
What's the difference between the two versions? See below under F.A.Q.
1.3 odds and ends (most 1.3 stuff was included in the last update)
Welcome to Roma.
Weapons: Practice sword, stone mace, Captain's Sword, Altair's Sword (diamond), and the dagger of Romulus.
Convenient haybales, perfect for hiding from guards...
Build a virtual reality training room for Assassin's Creed-style parkour using the Animus version!
Assassins' barracks.
Slums galore
Cacti are now cypress trees.
Grow your own grapes
Wall-climbing rosette stones (available in the Animus version).
Build your own Italian villa.
Nether fortress (normal version)
Normal version terrain
Artwork. Stone signs for shops come standard with the Animus version.
What's the difference between the Normal version and the Animus version? A: The Animus version contains textures unique to the Assassin's creed world. These textures, such as Abstergo nether and hand-hold ladders, work well for adventure maps, but maybe don't look so great for regular minecraft.
The Normal version is generic minecraft-- no futuristic textures or obscure references to the Assassin's creed game. You can think of it as merely a historical pack.
Why is does the bedrock/soulsand/netherrack/glowstone look strange in the Animus version? A: These textures are made specifically for the world of the Assassin's Creed games. The bedrock is meant to resemble the out-of-bounds lines that appear during the game, and the soulsand/netherrack were created to simulate the environment of the Truth program accessable during Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. If you have never played the games, go with the Normal version instead of the Animus version.
My nether looks like water and my pumpkins are covered in patches of fire! What gives? A: You didn't read the quote at the very top of this page. Go read it and do what it says.
Some of the blocks in my game are yellow. Help! A: You have a version of this pack that is out of date. Re-download.
I don't like x block. Can you make y instead? A: Disagreements on what looks good are natural. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all that. That said, I am open to suggestions for alternates for the customizer, but please keep in mind that me saying 'hmm, that sounds interesting' does not necessarily mean that I will make it.
Will you expand this pack to include Assassin's Creed 3 when it comes out? A: Nope. This pack is very firmly entrenched in the Renaissance period, and I have no intention of redoing the whole thing a third time to bring it to the Colonial period.
What does "Assassini-Costruttori" mean anyway? A: It's Italian for 'Assassins-Builders'. I thought it was fitting, all things considered. :]
Check out this fantastic Assassin's creed map by Selib. It has dungeons, jumping courses, the works. It's truly amazing, and every asscreed fan should check it out:
-Make videos using this pack
-List this pack as the recommended pack for your map
-Spam the internet with screenshots from this pack
-Post this pack to your foreign language website. Please do not put the zip file itself up for download! Just link back to this page or the customizer page.
DO NOT:
-Use any of these textures/alternates in your remix/compilation/best-of pack. You can remix as much as you want for yourself or your server, but DO NOT post said remix for other people to download.
-Use any of these textures/alternates as placeholders. There are plenty of packs that you can pull from, and if they are just placeholders it shouldn't matter anyway.
-Take any of these textures/alternates and change one pixel/flip them upside down and claim that they are yours.
-A general rule of thumb: If it feels too similar, it probably is.
-Put an adfly link (or any other method of collecting money) on this pack.
Looks really good so far, but I'd recommend:
- adding a bit of grass to the side of a grass block.
- making bricks be a bit more consistent in their colors (less varying colors).

The rest looks great!
Instead of adding grass to the side of the blocks (which always clashes with the top when running the HD patcher) I added little weeds to the cracks. Take a closer look at the screenshots and you should see them (they don't appear on regular dirt).
Add sidegrass!!!
Sidegrass is being fixed for 1.5 so it fits with biomes. That should stop any complaints you have about it clashing AND make everyone happy!
Apart from that though, it really looks great!

I do see them, however the grass ending on the top of the block looks a bit weird.
Also sidegrass is being fixed, so that won't be a problem anymore. :3

Now that I know about the 1.5 fix, I'll definitely go back and add sidegrass. Thannks for the review!
Looks very nice. I especially like the smooth stone, iron door, cacti, and torches..and most of it actually. Guess I'm not crazy about the nether, but it fits with the game(havn't played it) and I rarely go there anyways )

So yeah, I like it a lot, keep it up.
*Points to top of post*
I guess you would be one of those people interested in a non-assassin's creed pack that has 'regular' nether blocks?
Everything except the grass and dirt looks amazing. Side grass would be nice, and consider making the dirt darker, and see how it looks.
I agree, I love this and I will dowload it as soon as you put up a link, but the dirt through me off, I thought it was sand stone. If you just make it a little less yellow it will be great!
Also, will you be makeing a set of Assassin skins to go with the pack? that would be really cool.
Edit: I had an idea for you :smile.gif: you could make 'almost' invible ladders, that just have one of those metal bars that stick out from the walls in the game, then you can look like you are really scaling the walls rather than climbing a ladder.

Yep! How did you discover my evil plan?! *Cackles*
Expect Ezio, Female Assassin, male assassin, Leonardo Davinci (for those peaceful builders out there), and Cesare Borgia! (for those who simply love being evil).
And that is an EXCELLENT idea for the ladders. I will definitely do something like that and have it as an alternate texture...or the main one, if I decide it looks better :wink.gif:
Is...is it possible that there is hope for assassin's creed in minecraft? Thank you good sir for bringing sexy back :wink.gif:
Also the smooth stone and ores look too smooth in my opinion. Can you make them look a bit more rough or provide alt. textures?

I was going to roughen the ores up a bit anyway, but I'll look into it.

Retired StaffTHIS. I'm so sick of all the 'clean' and 'simple' packs. Some of them look pretty nice, but enough already.
