Release: Lithos:Luminous 1.8-1

An update for Minecraft 1.8. Prevents some blocks in MC 1.8 from ignoring Lithos:Luminous textures for some blocks that have random alternates. Also replicates the random textures previously only available with MCPatcher with the block-model features of MC 1.8. Also adds random texture for Red Sand.

I thought I should let you know that the poppy still uses a rose texture. Love the pack, by the way!

Oops-- I meant to change that. I guess I forgot about it.

Is this pack able to be stacked with Dokucraft, TSC? I want to shift from Doku to Lithos, mainly for the awesome glass testures (which I can't see yet because of Optifine not being updated yet ). Should I stack Lithos core above Doku in order to get Lithos as the main resource pack?

You can stack Lithos:Core with anything-- though depending on what Connected texture or 1.8 Block Model features it uses there may be some oddities. The best way to find out is to try it.

Lithos is almost complete, so if you stack it above Doku (or whatever), all you'll see of the other pack is fire, some mobs, sounds, and mod support (if the other pack has these things).

What are the main functions of the luminous add on?

Fancy Stained Glass. Lightmaps (changes the color of light, MCPatcher/Optifine only)
Read the change log on the first page for a full list.

Also I think the adfly link doesn't have 1.8b

Thanks, i've updated it.

If there is one criticism I have, it is that there seems to be a dire inconsistency with your leaves.... Why is the birch leaves semi-transparent while the leaves appear completely oblique? Was that a style choice or something?

Um, what you are describing doesn't sound like what i see in game. Can you provide a screenshot? There may be a weird bug...

Hmm... I think the reason why it happened was because I was using 1.8 resource pack in 1.7.10, it appears fixed now.
*when you switch to the correct version.

Lithos:Core is supposed to be backwards comparable up to version 1.6.x. In 1.7.x, I'm still not seeing what you are describing. If you can reproduce it, please let me know exactly how you got that issue.

COOL PACK MAN!

Thanks

For full disclosure: I've taken over the pack Visibility, as kyctarniq, long time custodian of many packs, feels the need to simplify his life. This doesn't mean i'm giving up on Lithos-- far from it, Lithos is still my main pack. Visibility is an enjoyable sideline. But I'll probably be focusing on it until i get it updated to 1.8.

I hope "ell-ee-aye-zar" is the right pronunciation, because that's the one I used.

That's how i would pronounce it. Thanks for the video review, i've put it on my front page-- because you get my pack.

I'm not up on optifine dev for 1.8, but since the leaves work fine in 1.8, without optifine, I'd say it is clearly a bug with optifine. I shouldn't need fancy files unless I'm doing something more than vanilla.

Sorry, but your source is behind the times. He's describing how things worked before 1.8. But mojang changed it, and now there is only one file for leaves thats used.

i've asked, and you haven't told me that the leaves are glitches without Optifine. If this is true,( as it is in my experience) then since they only are glitched when using Optifine, then it is an optifine bug.
