Theme: This pack is a semi-realistic yet true to Minecraft pack, with fantasy and medieval themes. I
have taken inspiration from Japanese culture (for example I'm mildly obsessed with cherry blossoms),
Norse myth (only fitting for Minecraft, right?) other medieval ideas, and some ideas purely from my
own imagination.
Most of my textures are created via digital painting using my wacom drawing tablet, some via filters and
purely digital work, and some are made via utilizing the vast collection of pictures I've taken as resources.
Welcome to my world... the world of Dreams.
• DreamCraft •
This is still a VERY heavy WIP. Please check back from time to time for updates!
This pack is free for use as-is, but NOT free to edit or use in shared remix packs. Just a fair warning. Please see "Legal" at the bottom of this post for more details. :3
About the name "DreamCraft". I notice some time ago now that someone else was using the name "dreamcraft". Regardless, I can date my use of the name DreamCraft back to at LEAST May 26th of 2012. Likely prior (that's the earliest save date I've got). As such, I will be keeping this name however with the addition of "Sarinilli's" to differentiate.
• ~ • ~ • Mod Support • ~ • ~ •
As of yet my pack works right out of the box in vanilla, save a few features:
My pack does require OptiFine for custom sky, custom colors, and random mobs.
March 2 2018: I've been sitting on some updates for a while as I keep doing more odds and ends, so this is a pretty big update!
I've also "enhanced" the pack slightly by adding some double sized 128x elements. Don't worry, I'm keeping this to a minimum; it should still run perfectly fine on any decent computer!
• Chests updated!!
• Sign and Ladder updated!
• Observer finished!
• Paintings overhauled! Now based at 128x for twice the quality! Also changed a few to reduce reused elements.
• Font ascii updated to include a few more extended letters
• Rain updated (you can see through it now! lol)
• Raw and cooked rabbit done!
• Updated chiseled stone brick
• "Nordic Bordered Hinged Window" (cyan glass) updated so you can see the detials (technically it's 128 now but still looks and functions as 64, save the design)
• Pack icon updated slightly
• Diamond helmet, armor & boots icons updated
• Banner & Shield Overlay styles got a bit of an overhaul. "bricks" is now knotwork sides, "creeper" is now the valknut symbol, "bottom left square" is now two axes, "bottom right square" is now twin swords, "top right square" is now single swords, and "top left square" now says "dream craft" in Elder Futhark runes.
• *flails!* Lang file updated, again! Kept the old .lang AND the new .json. You never know, right? lol
• Fixed cooked cod to look more greenish to match new look
• To improve on the fantasy feel, I recolroed my carrots to purple and white. This covers carrots, carrot on a stick, the last stage of carrot crops, and the little bits in rabbit stew.
• Silverfish mob done!
• ...Horses done again (even though the texture doesn't match the model and will likely need to be redone again)
• Tweaked the End Portal to look more purple again with the new rendering method.
• Shulker Spark finally done. xD
• Renamed light grey bed so the texture shows up again. (oops!)
• Bottom texture for crafting table finally done (I guess I forgot to do it before lol)
• Various gui and particle updates to get things up to speed
• Stripped Logs finished; some logs updated slightly for consistency. Sides of Stripped Logs are 128x to retain best detail as the 64x variants looked umm... no.
• Salmon Mob finished!
• Bed frames updated- no longer using the old style planks as a base!
• Kelp & Dried Kelp items done!
• Salmon Bucket and Cod Bucket done
Gold Armor* (still planning to do some upgrades for uniqueness)
Diamond Armor* (still planning to do some upgrades for uniqueness)
Turtle Shell Helmet
And a few icons/buttons, particles, and new guis
Release Date: June 14 2016!
Download Updated: March 2 2018!
For version 1.12 and prior compatible versions:
(this version is no longer updated!)
Kitties! ♥
I made the Siamese a gray long fur for reasons (Once MCPatcher is up to date for 1.9+, I'll have a TON of cat colors and bring back the actual Siamese as well). :3

Nice. Although however much you edit, you shouldn't use images found online; only textures you make yourself as someone might sue you for copyright infringement.

GermanBrick, Thank you! Both the water and redstone lamp took me a while before I was happy with them. :3
Deonyi, Please read all of what I say before making assumptions. ;P
When I said was "Collecting pictures I've taken", I meant that I have TONS of folders of photographs I've personally taken of all sorts of things, and have used parts of my own pictures.
The ONE exception to that is my moon, which is currently from a picture of one of Saturn's moons that I've had saved for over ten years now. I still plan on painting my own moon before I release my pack for download.
But yeah, thanks. And thanks for the concern, I'll see if I can reword what I wrote to avoid further misunderstandings.
Edit 18 July - 7:30am (MST):
Ok so the finished/unfinished lists are up, and I reworded the thing at the top of the first post entirely. Should cut out any confusions about how I work from now on. :3
Im surprised that all of a sudden I am finding a couple of really well done texture packs that have still not gotten the acknowledgement they deserve. Really amazing texture pack, happy to see that it is not vanilla texture with only a couple of small edits and claiming it as a full texture pack:) +1 for you
Well, definitly an on and off year well spent. It looks amazing.
Lol thanks. I'm glad to finally be getting it done properly and not just adding bits here and there to a mashup pack. It's a good feeling, really, and has been a great learning experience too. :3

I really appreciate this. It makes me happy inside. :3

And it's update time!
I've changed my versioning from the 0.0.5 increments to whole increments and am now sitting on version 0.9. My goal is one point value away, so the next time I update the packs version number, it's NOT going to be listed in here. . . except to link to the official pack thread! I have a good number of items I really need to get done before the release though, but I feel that my "before the month is over" deadline for the upload release will indeed hold! *excitement*
I've added six new pictures to the screenshots cut, showcasing the bed, endstone, emerald blocks, torch, birch sapling and the ores and their respective blocks. I realized I hadn't shown off the ores yet. I'mreally not happy with them at all, even though I made them originally from pictures of stones I own in real life- the diamond for example is far too "blown up grainy" looking compared to most of the rest of the pack. The ores will all get updated, but this won't happen until I get a lot more unfinished textures done...so sorry to say we're going to be stuck with them for a while. ^^;
My wheat, might I point out is not real-life realistic wheat. I had an interesting alien world wheat idea in mind and it sort of went from there. I like the result, and I hope everyone else will, too.
The treehouse shots are for the "teasers" appeal, and that white marble bridge? Yep. That's the endstone.
Thanks again for all the comments, and especially for all the views! I know my comments here have been slow to come, but I have taken quite a notice to all the views I've been getting here and I thoroughly appreciate seeing those numbers climb slowly. ♥
The blocks look great! The ores don't seem to embed in the stone, and the emerald block could look a little bit more realistic, same with the wheat. And I love that crescent moon! The night will probably look cool with a tree house(just my opinion). I also can't wait for the official pack thread!

creeperfighter3, could you explain how you think the emerald could be more realistic? Like, in your eyes how it stands out differently from the gold and diamond. Aside from it being so dark of course.. kind of offish about that myself, to be honest.
And also about the wheat. I sort of want it to not look like real wheat, I assume you mainly mean the bright flat lack of shading? If not, just let me know. I could use the alternate perspectives. :3

To me, the emerald looks a little like colored pencil sort of, and I'm just suggesting to kind of smooth out the shine on it a little, and yes, it's what I meant with the wheat. Sorry for being a little unclear. : P

Hmm, I'd gone out of my way here to try and sharpen the emerald up a bit to give it a more of an edge...had a feeling I should have cooled it a bit, I might actually post up a variation or two here tomorrow if you don't mind pointing out which one appeals better? And true. I was just focused with getting the animation frames for the wheat finished and wasn't so worried about the shading. Can go back over that when I have a clear head for it.
This is incredible. I find your claim that this is your first finished texture-pack hard to believe.
The redstone is specifically awesome.
About the name; You should simply give up on finding a unique name. I have tried and failed myself. Guess how many "shadowcraft" texturepacks there are out there. More than mine, that is for sure. I simply added my avatar's initials as a prefix. Problem solved, and no-one will notice.

Thank you RegsaGC! It is though, however I have messed around with editing pixel art and tiling wallpapers in the past. It helps a great deal when taking the plunge into something that relies so much on those old learned skills. Having access to a drawing tablet helps a lot, too. I can't draw with a mouse to save my life. *laughs*
The laid redstone or the ore it's self? I assume the laid.. I have a few tidbits like that, and it just fit "me".
I'm not so much worried about unique naming, I only thought to point that out up there. If all else fails, people will simply refer to mine as "sarinilli's. . ." which is fine with me. :3
I won't be changing the name, because of my personal affinity with dreams. It means something to me so that's that. No big deal really. ^^
For everyone...teaser pic. They're going to get a lot more work, but it's a start. :3

That enderman will give me nightmares. Although the particles on the enderman seem to be from ovo's rustic redemption. You didn't take them did you?

NEW:
I've added a poll, please don't forget to vote!
And a couple questions for you other users out there, especially other artists and future pack users:
- I really want feedback, constructive criticism, and suggestions- so have at ye!
- What sort of mods do you think I should add support for, and would you even use the More Pictures mod if I spend all that time creating paintings?
- What's your favourite part of this pack so far, and what's your least favourite?
Please, if you have anything to say or add about my pack so far, don't hesitate to post! I would love all the feedback I can get! ♥Updated: Mar. 2 2018 See thread for details
Lol thanks. I'm glad to finally be getting it done properly and not just adding bits here and there to a mashup pack. It's a good feeling, really, and has been a great learning experience too. :3
Aww! Seriously though, if you feel that way, you'll have to post feedback once I release and let me know if you DO find anything that seems off. :3
I really appreciate this. It makes me happy inside. :3
