Okay, darkened the wood on the rails gave the powered rail a bit of a face lift and got the detector rail done.

What do we reckon guys and girls?

I like it very much

Could you place a few of those powered rails in a row, all connected to each other? From the provided pictures it looks like they won't form a continuous of gold track, instead having small amounts of the normal iron between them? I'd just be interested to see

This is what I'm talking about. See how there's the small amount of iron at the end?

Ah yes you have a point, its an easy fix so nothing to pull my hair out over

Like what ya see apart from that little issue?

Heres a HD track video too

The tracks and detector rails/powered rails look great. The mine carts are nice, but I am not loving the C H on the side, feels heavy handed somehow (personal opinion of course).

Thanks, yeah i probably got a bit carried away with the branding

I also don´t like the initials on the minecart (and the creeper face but you already know that ^^). It looks like you didn´t get a better idea for some nice details on the outside. And I think that it prevents the use of minecarts as different things in builds with "mining company" and the letters written on it.

Apart from that, it looks just great and the same goes for the tracks. My only compaint is that the actual rails look a bit too clean and dull. And I wonder if you are going to add animations to the redstone gem on the detector and powered rails later.

Yep, i'm listening to the feedback and I'll keep the branded version as an alternative and do a non branded version as default. I can look at adding a little grime to the rails also.

I plan on some animation for the rails yes but i'll get to it later

New additions look great. I don't really have any preference one way or the other on the C H on the mine carts. The Creeper face is pretty cool.

Also, I wouldn't mind if the rails are grimy or dirty, but since you make them yourself, it seems like they should be clean. I guess over time they would wear down, but we can't do those kinds of effects in Minecraft. So whatever you decide Syclone, I'll be happy with.

It´s maybe a little late now but I promised you to take a closer look at your wolves and here are my suggestions (in a picture) how to change the look of them to make em look more wolfish and less doggish.

I only changed the face and it´s more of a rough edit so if you actually like the changes you would probably have to edit the texture yourself but I could of course send you my edited texture to see the difference better. (left yours, right mine)

Cheers Moo, yeah send it over i'll take a look it was WAY back we talked about the wolves I like the dark on the nose, head the white around the eyes is a bit strong but yeah its cool

Thanks Sam, I'm going to to leave the rails for now i've really got to move on with other areas now, i did go a little branding heavy but people can choose.

Which leads me onto doing the default version of the cart Hopefully this will be more to the liking for those who want it a little less in your face. I've brightened it a little also to tie in with the iron block ?

Yeah I would say that minecart looks much better.

Thanks, well i'm done with tracks and carts for now Had a bit of time out from texturing today, terrain file is not far off now so I need to look at getting back to finishing all the tools i think next.

This looks perfect. Exactly what I think a mine cart should look like.

Yup. All the tracks and minecarts look really nice. No complaints about anything you've put out. You work really fast, and it's awesome. I leave for a few days and check back and all this great stuff. Good job, man.

That looks amazing! When do you think you will release it?

Good to hear Yeah I can get through a fair bit when I get on a roll as long as the ideas are firmly in my head and i'm not trying various things it usually means I can get quite productive.

Thanks glad you like it. Well I was hoping for end of Feb for a work in progress release but I am behind with things I don't want to rush just to get it out and have quality suffer. Keep following the progress I'm working on it daily.



Few bits to show folks. I've reworked the furnace, finally did the dispenser, and got the melon and pumpkin finished. Some textures i'm doing a bit of reworking/tweaks as they are getting on a bit but looking at the terrain.png file It's looking around 97% complete!

These look great, this is quite literally my favorite pack out there. Why in the world did you take so long to start work on it?

Woah i have a bit of time out and have a wall of text on my return! : D

Quote from AleXndrTheGr8st

I love that dispenser! In fact, all those blocks look great!

Cheers Alex, i'm so glad i got the fruit blocks completed they have had Sphax tops for months!

Quote from SharkyGAMER

Wow, coming on nicely ! I'd like to test this pack, the 64x and 128x vanilla versions. I cant wait another day for the release O_O!

What do you have left to do? Whats the % complete? I for one would be glad to make do witha an early WIP one just for the moment to give you a little more time and less pressure. There cant be much left? Still doing GUI?

Great your so enthusiastic about it! I think the next release is going to be the work in progress so hold fire a little longer.

Terrain is 97/98 % there items are not as complete as i wanted so thats what i'm focusing on, some GUI is still needed but i may let it go out for now with some default. Items/tools are my main concern and that's whats holding the pack up. I will work out where i am with items tomorrow as a number of blocks e.g carts can now be turned into items so...........

ATTACK the items.png is my mission

Quote from Glimmar

Ooo...yes! Coming along very nicely indeed, Syclone.

That dispenser of yours is now one of my favourite textures.

Thank ye Glimmar thank ye Hmm the dispenser was a bit of an.....Ummm...... what do i do with this moment! Without being to fancy wancy it just looked rather nice with a bit of decoration and an 'ole

Quote from OnyxPanda

I need this!

You don't seem to be the only one Not long now I'm going to get the WIP release out

Thanks!. Ummm you can blame/thank my friend he suggested putting it on MCforums it was just something for personal use. I didn't know their was such a huge community to mod the game I just had Sphax that I got direct from the website site, and was a fan of SEUS shaders. What's happening with CH now and the support and people getting behind it is just............*gulp*

EDIT. Question...... would people be happy If I release 1.4.7 and then work on 1.5 a little later?

EDIT i made a POLL, get voting pretty please

Quote from Moozipan

There actually is no need to set up a poll or ask that question at all because most of the people will obviously say "give it to me now!", especially when your first option includes the second as well. So it´s either "get a download now and 1.5 version later" or "get no download now but 1.5 later". For me, I don´t really care because I don´t play much minecraft at the moment and you already gave me a preview to play around with so I´m left out anyways. ;D

But all of this left aside, I always prefer to have a full working gui and the majority of the items finished instead of a complete terrain.png.

Ah its gone 4 in the morning I should reword it when not tired lol

Actually, I'll scrap it you are right It's not needed............. and I'll carry on as I was doing

On the subject of your preference of items/gui over terrain I do have a lot of builders/servers waiting so i *think* terrain will go down better as a completed part and i can follow with more items.

Moo you have been a great support as well as the G man (where is he) from the first few days I put this up you helped put CH where it is today.... now why are you up so late/early also? Work in a few hours my man

This is pretty random, and I can't remember if we've talked about this already... Will CH support better skies in Optifine? The main reason I ask is because I really love the stars at night in better skies TPs.

Also, as the others have said, most people would want it as soon as it's ready. Can't wait!
