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.

What's your goal?
We want to build an active community that enjoys playing with each other as much as they enjoy playing the game.
Who are you looking for?
People who are familiar with the game and have something to bring to the table, such as skill with redstone or building. We'd like people that can play regularly, not people that just hop on once a week for an hour. It's also required that you're 16 or older, since mature language is often used.
Do I need a mic?
A mic is not required but it is HIGHLY recommended. Talking instead of typing greatly improves the experience and will make playing with others more enjoyable. That being said, Discord is required, as it allows us to talk to everyone more effective outside of Minecraft.
What is your server?
The server is whitelisted vanilla running the latest version of the game (not snapshots). The map is customized, giving a somewhat amplified feel to it, without melting your PC (images below). Also, the seed we're using has all biomes within a close proximity to spawn. Command blocks for one person sleep is the only non-vanilla thing we use (does not affect local difficulty).
Why are you reopening apps?
The server has been around for about a month, and as most whitelisted servers experience, some of our players have dropped, leaving only the more active ones. So continuing a cycle of recruiting new players helps us weed out the inactives and keep the actives!
How do I apply?
It's a two step process:
#1. Reply below with your age, username, and tell us what you enjoy doing in Minecraft (i.e. redstone contraptions, building, massive farms).
#2. If accepted, you will be PMed by either me or one of our mods/admins with the Discord link. Once you join the Discord, say "hi" in the #recruiting thread and you'll be let on the server!

Just some suggestions:
- The NPCs look wired with their arms sticking out while holding a sword, maybe make them hold it like a player?
- Guards don't defend villagers from the player if a player repeatedly punches a villager, maybe make them defend?
- Maybe add an option in that allows you to spawn a villager of the opposite gender who is automatically your spouse when you make a world.
- You may already be doing this for 1.3, but making this mod supported in "Open to LAN" would be absolutely... EPIC!
Thanks for making this mod, it's given me hours of enjoyment.

Hey, hear him out just a bit, ok? My friend told me they were adding snow men (golems) and I was like, "You lie." then I found out they were going to be added.
