I have been trying to discover why I cannot be satisfied with all my builds. Today I discovered what this was. The default texture pack is terrible. When i build a house out of only wooden planks, it looks terrible, If I add different blocks for variation, it looks terrible. This is from a very biased opinion, because I am a perfectionist. If I switch to a texture pack like dokucraft on pc, a wooden house looks amazing. So how do you guys make your builds look good with this default texture pack. I would love some advise. NOTE: I have read multiple threads on how to make things look better, but everything always ends up looking similar to everything else or just plain.
Here is a picture without a texture pack:

As you can see, the colors blend together much better with a texture pack and the transitions from different blocks flow. I don't know how you can make anything look better then a texture pack, but I would love to see it.

yeah i agree that the default textures aren't exactly made for aesthetics but there's really nothing that can be done about it until 4J starts working on texture packs....which won't be for a very long time.

So I am not the only one with this problem One of the things I notice with amazing cities is they use a lot of wooden planks for most of the building and it looks good in dokucraft. But when you switch to the default one it isn't that great. Am I the only one who thinks wooden planks are a little too generic and overrated? I NEED MY SANDSTONE AND STONE BRICKS!!!
Can anyone post a picture of a way the made a house look good with the standard texture pack. Specifically a house made of wooden planks and wood. Thanks
Sorry, but I think it's kinda funny that a perfectionist is complaining about how a block game looks.
That is very true. But I am a perfectionist given the boundary I am given. So given a boundary of blocks, I will try to make a block house look perfect in my eyes. Maybe even implement block circles
I think the wood blocks are used a little too much. But besides that I see a few problems with this. You cannot place logs sideways on the xbox. You cannot get sandstone stairs or the sandstone blocks. I think that is it. Remember this is for xbox builds, not pc.
I don't prefer wooden planks to build my houses or anything for that matter as well. I mainly use stone or cobblestone with a wood trim around thehouse, its looks nice then

Do you have any screenshots to show me? I am having trouble picturing how you would implement the wood well. Thanks
simple as wood on outer borders or as columns in the corners but natural wood from a tree not wooden planks
Am I the only one who thinks that doesn't look good? It is possible that it is the architecture being to square (ironically) and I should add more depth. I will make a building tomorrow to show you guys what I mean.

Well I actually prefer the default over pretty much all of the texture packs that I've seen.
At the end of the day a box isn't going to look good in any texture pack. Sp depth, variation, are just necessary. Just experiment a little, maybe you can find something you'll like

Made a building to represent my opinion. Would love people's opinions.
I find the lack of clay in levels equal to this problem so I dupped some clay to make a nice brick house that I find more suitable to my eyes. I'll post a screenshot sometime.

(it uses sandstone and it's only a front.)

I'm sorry! I don't know what I was thinking
