I have literally never found a texture pack I liked half as much as this one.

Wow, thanks!

Quote from Dan_Shemp

When mods for Minecraft 1.7 and above become more mainstream, do you think that you'll consider moving your textures for mods into a new add-on? ("Lithos: Occult" perhaps, since there's been a recent focus on magic-themed content.) Obviously at the moment, they don't interfere with the vanilla game at all - my concern is purely about file size.

Yeah, when file-size starts to become an issue, i'll start looking at putting some of the mod content in a separate add-on. Currently, it looks like most of the mod-playing is happening with 1.6 or even earlier. I will need to have the feeling that most of my mod-playing users were in 1.7 or higher before splitting some/all mods out. But size isn't an issue yet. I estimate with all the current mod stuff, and all new vanilla textures, Lithos:Core will weight only 20mb, so that IMHO is still pretty small, compared to packs with lots of CTM.

Re: Magic.
There's a lot of Thaumcraft in the last release, but the upcoming release will have consistently colored ores, metal blocks ingots, etc. for Tinker's Construct, Thermal Expansion, Forestry, and maybe Industrial Craft2.

With my latest release, i've started an Ore Consistency Project. (not all of the above are included in the current release) This means simply that any Lithos-supported mods will use the same color for the same material. For instance various mods use very different colors for tin, but Lithos will use precisely the same color scheme for tin stuff.

And here's where I am with the Ore Consistency project. The top row is materials that exist in many mods, the bottom row exist only in a single mod.

I like this ressource pack, it's very nice !

Thanks guys!

That said... the Ingot blocks will tile horribly.

I know what you mean though i wouldn't call it quite "horrible". But Lithos is aiming for "mostly faithful", and that high contrast is what builders expect from ore storage blocks.

Quote from Kiajinn

Will Dusts be done in this pass? A lot of mods allow for the processing of ores into power, doubling yield. and then Thaumcraft has its Nuggets... Oh my...

Actually i've done dusts and nuggets too, I just didn't put them on the chart. So far for four selected mods i've done:

• Ore Blocks
• Storage Blocks
• Ingots
• Nuggets
• Dust
• Oreberry Bushes
• Wand Caps
• Castings
• Gears
• Crushed, and Purified Ore
• Plates and Dense Plates

You should call the mod addon-pack "Mo'Lithos".

Here are the ores, metals and gems that the next release will contain:

EDIT:
updated

Quote from Kiajinn

Looking good though some of the ores look a little pasted onto the stone rather than embedded... a lot of the gemstones seem to feel like that.

I'm not entirely happy with all of them. I may go back and redo some when i've had a chance to see them in-game over time and get a better grasp of why exactly some don't look right.

Though i'm generally going for "the Ore is protruding Out" look. I'm not trying to make it looks recessed into the stone.

The snapshot stone types. I think i've got them where i want them.

Curse Finally let me upload so you can get Lithos:Core 1.7-N (the latest) from Curse now too.

Quote from Zahnradfee

Oh, I've been waiting for that!
They look really good.
They blend nicely with each other. I thought that the original Diorite is a bit too light to look natural next to the normal stone, but yours seems to be a bit darker and therefore matches the other stones better.

Thanks, it was pretty tricky getting the colors to look faithful and also right next to my not-exactly faithful colored regular stone.

Quote from Zahnradfee

Edit: But they are not included in the latest available download, are they?
Because I re-downloaded and it still has the defaul textures for the new stones.

Nope, not yet released. I want to at least get the double tall plants done for the next release.

New double-tall plants...

Quote from QlyoPhil

The textures of the armor set, horse armor set are still default. are they in WIP?

Yep, Lithos is not yet completely finished. Armor is one of the main things left to do.
You can see a full list of what remains to be done in the first post of this thread.

Quote from Liahna

Beaufiful pack! I don't really use the default, but this is amazing. Thumbs up!

Thanks!

Quote from Kiajinn

The greenery on that right most plant feels like it is lacking contrast a bit.

True... I'll do something about that.
