The Fiftyniner's Minemalist Challenge!
Heh, get it? MINEmalist? =3
Today I present you with a challenge. Create a pack with no more than 3 colors per texture.
There are a few rules:
-Textures contain no more than 3 colors each. (only a few exceptions)
-Please don't submit a simple pack. Add detail and take advantage of your 3 colors! They can be whatever three colors you want.
-It only has to be the Terrain.png.
-16x or 32x only. My simple laptop has trouble with anything higher.

Block Exceptions:
Ores: 3 colors for the stone, 3 colors for the ore
Sidegrass/sidesnow 3 for dirt, 3 for grass/snow
Mossy Cobble: 3 for stone, 3 for moss
Pistons: 3 for stone, 3 for wood
Booster rails: 5 colors
Detector Rail: 4 colors

Go ahead and ask if a block should get an exception.

And please, try to be as creative as possible. There's no deadline on this, so you could take a week if you'd like! I'd love to see some nice packs get their starts from this. =)

Might give it a try, at least some textures :tongue.gif:

Edit: Are ores also only 3 colors?
Edit 2: I want to see what you can do too! ;D

I might give it a try if I get some more responses. Oh, and I forgot about ore. Six colors on their blocks. =)

I'm up for it. dirt, grass and stone are already done. >:biggrin.gif:

Interesting idea. By chance the texture pack I just finished might already be eligible, save for a few tweaks. If I have time I will mess with it. Here's how it looks now:

I'd prefer if the packs were made for the challenge, instead of submitting older work.
Does look good though. =)

Wow, that's looking great so far! That's the kind of stuff I was hoping to see. Keep it up! =)

I'll have to check it out. Sounds like it'd be a fun challenge. I'll have to give it a try! ;D

Ooo, I'ma join this.

Ok, nice. But we will have to wait to set a date. I need more people. :smile.gif: I will probably finish the terrain of this tomorrow.

Sounds good Leo! I have the first row of textures completed and I started at about 4:25.

And glad you're joining Lilyo! I can tell you're going to enter something good. =)

Are we allowed to use 6 colors on pistons too? And beds?

I suppose. I'll make a full list of stuff that can use multiple colors.

Thanks! :smile.gif: I've actually only got a few things left now. Maybe I'll release it soon.

Awesome! I'd love to see it. =)
I'll keep a list of the terrains of all submissions on the main post.

I will start tomorrow, I always wanted to do something with as few colors as possible, but im just not that good at texturing. will post results.

I think TNT and bookshelves should have 6 colors too...

I don't see why tnt should have 6 colors...

Yours looks great Leo! And I'll add bookshelves on to the exception list. Never thought of it. =P
Pumpkin faces added too. Might make it a bit easier to show what on and off is.
Saplings could use a few more colors too. =3
Check the main post for all the color updates.

I'm going hardcore with having bookshelves and saplings in only 3 colors. :cool.gif:

You have some sexy bookshelves. =P
I really like how you did them. The saplings are nice too. =)

What about log bottoms/top? 3 colors as well?

Yup.

Stop adding exceptions to the list >_>
Ruins the entire thing if you keep adding exceptions. Saps, bricks, and flowers should remain 3 colors. Mossy and ore should be two colors each with 3 for the stone.
