I just had difficulty re-finding this tutorial, so I'm going to bump.

I can't find this info anywhere else!

Thanks for putting this info out there, Misa! You're a lifesaver. :biggrin.gif:

What I really need is an animation tutorial...

...Just a quick question, how does this apply to the top-right side of the foliagecolor.png? I'm not even sure what that half of the image is used for, let alone how to properly edit it...

It pretty much doesn't. You could draw a dinosaur flying an airplane, shooting down cotton candy monsters in the upper-right half and it'd have no effect on the game to my knowledge.

What aspect of it? I'm sure I could explain the basics of them pretty easily. As far as how actual animation as an artistic skill goes, that's not knowledge that's easily transferable.

I've followed this tutorial exactly, but when I load the files back into the minecraft.jar and then test them out the colours return to the default (actually the files themselves revert to the default). I know I'm probably missing something very simple but nothing is coming up in searches which is very frustrating.

I should add I don't know anything about modding so I don't know if it needs to be modded? I have custom colours selected on MCPatcher and I thought that's all you needed to do but it seems more is required?

You need to be using a texture pack. A zip file in the texturepacks folder that mimics the file structure of minecraft.jar with images only. Also after installing MCPatcher, ensure you're not forcing an update since that deletes it.

I've updated the biome template to be accurate down to the pixel and fixed an error regarding the placement of the mushroom biome.

I've also added an explanation for what's up with the desert biome. (It apparently uses a negative value that plots it way off of the graphic!)

A very big thanks goes to Kahr for sending me the exact coordinates.

Awesome, this is gonna help beginners and experts alike :smile.gif:

Maybe you should do a variety of tutorials, like texturing (tiling and shading/depth), and of course an animation tutorial!

Thanks for this. Trial and erroring biome colours was a huge PitA.

Hey, Misa. I heard a fair while ago that the "other" half of foliagecolor.png was used for Birch tree leaf coloring. Is this still true?

No, never was true. Birch leaves have always been hard-coded. However with Custom Colors in MCPatcher, you can make your own custom birchfoliagecolor.png as well as many other biome palettes. See the MCPatcher thread for details and my pack for examples.

Hey Misa. I realise MCPatcher isn't yet 12w03a compatible yet, but do you have any idea which part of the palette the new jungle biomes reference their grass and water colours?

Thanks :smile.gif:.

Yes, it's a negative value like the desert. I'll be updating the thread with a split image when 1.2 comes out.

Hello misa, I tried to make biome colored stone in a pine forest, but it doesn't work! Any help? 'm in version 1.1 :biggrin.gif:

The Pine Forest/Taiga location is slightly outdated on my posted template. It's been corrected in the image posted above.

I'm having a problem with swamps, and I know what you're thinking, "You need to make a swampgrasscolor.png." The problem is, I did, I have also patched it(Trust me that's not the problem either) using the custom colors. I think I read correctly that the dot in the center is the dot that is used by the majority of the biome. If this is true, I think swamp is misplaced. I think this because I set the color as white, and only a few small little patches are set as almost, but not quite white(blended with the color around it).

Also, I was wondering if the same points work for trees as well.

I've updated this thread for the even NEWER format for biome palettes introduced in 12w07b. Be sure to grab the new template. In regards to the question about Nether biomes. If I'm not mistaken they all just use the desert color throughout the whole zone.

i have a question. a problem ive encounted with the MCPatcher and minecraft

swamp biomes are one of the things you have to choose custom colors for in the patcher. but when you choose custom colors for whatever reason water droplets go super bright blue instead of the color from inside the texture pack.. i dont under stand this and its a trade off of good looking swamps and bright blue water droplets that dont suit the rain or water, or proper water droplets and black/dark grey jungle biomes that look horrendous and cause an immeasurable grievance any time theyre looked upon.

any solutions for this ? is there some key thing that causes the droplets to go bright blue thats easily fixable? i thought it could be custom water, so i added a custom water file but that wasnt it.. thanks
