1.20 - Trails & Tales
Did you know that the greatest tales of all time also feature the greatest tails of all time? It's true! Think about it. Charlotte's Web - Wilbur's tail is the best part of that tale. Lord of the Rings - Remember that part when Legolas swung around on the Oliphaunt's tail like Tarzan? OH! And let's not forget Alice in Wonderland. Remember how Alice had a tail? No? Hmmm. Must have dreamed that.
My name is Jolicoeur, so I called it Jolicraft. It's pronounced "Jolly Craft" by the way. My name means "Happy Heart", so I guess Jolicraft means "Happy Craft". So maybe I should have called it HappyCraft, because I'm generally quite happy. But I'm not always happy. Sometimes I run out of wine. Sometimes there's no hot water for my bath. Sometimes when I'm changing my son's diaper, he pees on me.Minecraft is a game about crafting the world around you. What better way to craft the world than to craft the very stuff the world is made of? I had a great time creating Jolicraft, it's so addictive to create textures and see them live in your own world. I didn't really intend to push the pack as far as I did, but damn this [profanity=""] is addictive. It's as addictive as Minecraft itself, which is saying alot.This is Minecraft people. As with life, don't take it too seriously. A good plentiful helping of Jolicraft will wash the dust away from your dreary world.
Why did you make this 16x16? Wouldn't it be awesomer if it was 32x32 or 128x128 or 1080x1080?I love 16p texture packs. It seems the perfect resolution to match the style of Minecraft. The purposefully crude low-res pixel crafting nature of the game was simply made for 16x16 textures, anything more just feels weird - like drinking red wine while eating hotdogs. Which Notch does every morning at the breakfast table. Although I'm sure one day I'll be bored and play around with a 32x32 version, just for the fun of it.Can you please add more sidegrass?Let me explain why this is almost no sidegrass on Jolicraft dirt. I like sidegrass in many texture packs. Sometimes it works and looks great for the type of grass & dirt they've created. But Jolicraft dirt is different. It's firm and scoopable. The grass is a thin layer on top of the dirt, so more sidegrass makes no sense as it either makes the grass layer feel thicker than I want or it makes the thin grass all droopy. Think of my dirt like cake with icing on top, so when you scoop through it the grass doesn't instantly hang down the side, it stays firm. And the grass overhangs just a tiny bit to cast a slight shadow down the side of the dirt. It's that crisp edge that makes Jolicraft dirt different from other dirt. It's not that I'm against sidegrass in general, just sidegrass in Jolicraft.I asked you to change a texture and you didn't. What gives?I'm sorry. You had good intentions in suggesting a change, but I didn't care for it. Don't be angry! I don't care for lots of stuff that other people like. And I care for lots of things that other folk don't like. And I'm neutral to things that many people aren't neutral to. What a world! Does that answer your question?I'm making my own pack or map, and I want to use a texture from your pack. Can I?I get lots of requests from folks asking if they can use specific textures in their packs and maps. I don't mind if you use any of my textures, help yourself and enjoy! But I just ask that if you do use something I've made that you state somewhere in your thread what you used of mine, and include a link to this thread via the Jolicraft logo (http://img607.images.../5724/sig5f.png). And I STRONGLY encourage you to not rely on anything I've made. Making a few textures doesn't take long. It's much more satisfying to create something original than to rely on someone else's creations. Wouldn't you agree?What's wrong with you?Once when I was young I pushed a toothpick into my ear and it went all the way in and didn't come out. I've not been quite right since then.

Just joined the server with Mochii, poster above, and we have a group we are playing with.
Mochii and another friend, at the same time, experienced lag at the same exact time.
Upon this, they decided to pass up on the server and made a comment about in global.
Which as a previous server owner, is a very common occurrence when owning one and you learn to just take it with a grain of salt.
Well not the owner of this server.
He gets extremely defensive of his server, as stated, comes off as if he thinks his server is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
I am including the chat log from when I joined up until where he banned us for just "No." (screenshot of the ban)
Super mature on his part, he took most of his pretty rude conversation to a whisper to me.
Which by the way, I never once uttered a word about lag, but because my boyfriend and I are sitting next to each other, and he can read my screen that the owner decided to attack me for it.
The server comes off as nice with the welcoming nature, but the owner is extremely immature and bans at the slight bit of negativity towards his server.
Also the players/"welcoming" community waste no time jumping on you as well to earn brownie points with the owner, which is no surprise.
I have never experienced such an immature server owner in all my years of playing this game and being an admin on numerous servers.
You're a grown married man, please act like it.

But an overuse of a building material drives me nuts without a balance.
Example: Strictly wood or sandstone.

Actually since when is 30 old?!
I'm 21 and I still play Minecraft, I think if you bought it and enjoy it, why not?

While I think it's perfectly fine and I love the simplicity of it, I think it would be neat if we could choose from a drop down what the overall theme looks like.
Some ideas:
> A dark gray/black theme with purple/red/orange accents and the grassy background would be replace with a nether themed one.
> A theme that pays a tribute to the original MCF, with the blue hues and what not.
The themes could also change the little forum icons for each forum like "Hot!" or when no one has posted.
For those, it could be themed to the theme the person selects.
Nether themed for the nether one and a similar but redone icons for the tribute theme.

Games > Movies are usually awful.

Give love to the smaller communities too! Even the whitelist servers.
The only fear I have for them is the bad sport players going onto said spotlighted servers and basically being jerks.
