The first thing that comes to mind is a sort of "cow bug". Maybe it could be like a grasshopper or something, but with the head of a cow.
(I know there are actually a crapton of bugs that eat hay, but I don't know any of them. >.<)

Oh, and maybe you can make it animated to where every few seconds the bug comes out of the hay, hops around for a bit, then goes back in.

Look what my wheat texture is, and youll know what i mean. The wheat is actually some sort of critter on its own.

I did the quick inventory. This took a lot longer than i imagined it would.

ingame:


The texture:

With the buff effects in the survival inventory, the timer is tad hard to read against the background.

I don't really like how the colors show up on any of the fonts in menus and such, Ill be changing it to be more readable before releasing it.

It's likely possible to change it somehow in color.properties, but if not ill just change the entire font color to something lighter.

Main menu buttons:

I went with a sort of corrugated metal look.



They are rusty by default, but get clean when moused over.

Like it?

Here's today's load of textures:

I did the book GUI.


The icon for packs lacking pack.png:

I find that this will usually be pretty accurate.

I did some weather as well. Rain and snow.


I made it pretty subtle, i don't like thick, intrusive rain.


Keep in mind, my snow is ash.

Particles! i hate these, they were extremely difficult, there was no telling what half of them even were, and they took a lot of tweaking to get right.


Redstone pipes now leak steam when active, as intended.


The release is nigh!

What i need to plan for:

Hunger, health, armor, and xp bars.

The "minecraft" logo.

The mojang screen - For this one i had an interesting idea. Since my pack takes place on an alternate timeline, i was thinking maybe i would change mojang to be... something quite different. As in, what if notch had never started a gaming company, but instead started one making survival supplies, since the world was pretty well ravaged by the time event. I could change it to be an old decrepit poster once advertizing the alternate version of mojang...

Notch co. (needs a better name that's identifiable, but... better)

under that perhaps a list of services/items:

Weapons - Survival gear - Potable water

and a somewhat menacing company slogan...

"Providing the gadgets you need if you want to keep breathing" (general idea, need suggestions)

If i do go with this, i would change the minecraft logo perhaps to some sort of survival simulation header, as if minecraft were just made to teach people to live off the land.

The particles look excellent, well done.

Now I get to spitball for the HUD, right?
For the health bar, first-aid symbols? (Bit red plus signs)
Hunger could be a bowls of stew or something.
Armor could be plates of metal. A big sheet of steel for a full point, and a thin piece of copper or something for a half-point.
For the XP bar, how about a piston? The more XP you have, the farther it extends.
And I like your idea for the Mojang thing, but nobody would have enough time to look at it in detail as it's only up for like three seconds.

Not a fan of adding red +'s or stew, it's done too often, and i want to have a really strongly mechanical steampunk feel to the remaining HUD stuff.

I like the XP bar idea though. I'm not sure if it will be possible to implement it, since i'm not sure if the end of the bar has its own texture or not, but if it does, ill definately do that.

As for the armor... how about one continuous piece of riveted jagged metal? that might work.

ahmahghad, gas mask "food" metro 2033 style would be incredible

full point would be fresh filters

half points would be iced-over filters

I like the idea, but it's too much on the apocalyptic side, i want to really push the steampunk aspect here.

Today i finially finished the GUI update. The new version should be up tomorrow.

Here's what i did today:

Mojang splash screen:

The idea is that in the alternate reality created by the time even notch started an entirely different sort of company, one that sells survival gear, since he had the foresight to realize how quickly society would crumble. However... all the survival gear in the world won't do you much good when time itself has gone in a blender. Also jeb is a farmer now, and dinnerbone is some sort of famous chef that endorses canned food.

Pack logo:


HUD icons:

The health is typewriter hammers, the hunger icons are nixie tubes.

HUD ingame:

Quote from Silent7

this may/may not be thread hijacking, but how do these look for an alt hunger bar:

full bar:


half bar:

I like the nixxie tubes i have now, but if you can texture like that, you should definately start a pack.
