Quote from pyrocrisis
To be honest mate until you create some art of your own, then you can't make a post that is meant to explain simplistic/minimalistic art. You put this in my topic so I assume that you think I'm just "unshading" everything as you say. Have you downloaded my pack? Have you got proof of experience?
Until you can prove to me you actually know what your doing then get the hell out of my topic

I actually work part-time doing 3D modeling and texturing. If you ever sign up for Second Life sometime, you'll find a lot of my work there. I mostly create 3D stock avatars that people can use for their characters. It helps pay for school supplies, audio equipment, and other expenses.

Those are the products I currently have up.
I also have some artwork that I upload to my tumblr. I also created the backdrop for it as well.

Then there's also the Prototypes Minecraft skin topic that you can find in my signature. I've also entered a couple skin contests here at MCF.

On top of this, I've also taken art classes in high school (not just drawing, but actually learning about different genres as well as some art history.) along with several visits to galleries, numerous hours spent practicing, analyzing and interpreting the work of others, studying colour choice and learning from that, reading and watching tutorials, and above everything else, asking for feedback when I complete something.
Also if you'll notice something about the quality of the products I listed for my part time work, is that the texture quality gradually improves from my first product to my most recent. This is largely due to the fact that I don't whine when people offer advice or criticism as a means of helping me improve and giving a better product, so that everyone, including me, benefits in the end.
You've hardly shown anyone anything with this thread. The only hints as to what you are doing are that you're removing the shading and detail from every texture in minecraft to create a "simple" pack. This is literally what every other simple pack that has followed the pattern of taking shaded textures and unshading them has done. All you've shown are unshaded snapshots of the GUI, and in the background of some of your snapshots, I can't see any modified block textures. If it's a WIP pack, it should be moved to the WIP section. Otherwise, if it's a complete pack, then you should provide snapshots of all of the blocks you've changed, as per the rules. Don't just tell someone to download your pack if they want to see what it looks like, and don't blame others for your negligence.
You didn't even read the post I provided did you? You posted that all you were doing to the blocks was removing their detail. The only modified item I can see in one of your snapshots is a diamond, and according to how the diamond looks was partly why I suggested you give the topic a read. It talks about several elements that can help you pull off a more pleasing unshaded look if that's what you're going for, mainly through the use of creative and contrasting colour choice which provides more appeal. In other words, something to help you.
But hey, I really don't care at this point. You can continue whining at people for not showering you with compliments. Your loss, not mine. :3
P.S. The "Don't judge my art 'till you've made your own." is a really petty argument. You don't need to be a chef to know when food tastes bad.
Good day to you.

You can do this:

No, it's not a bad update.
We say that we need more strategy because we do.
Skywars with shields and cooldowns? That sounds great to me.
There still are "normal swords".
You'll fight the wither by NOT spam-clicking.
On Elytra:
1. They are extremely rare
2. They don't actually let you fly
The only way you can get noclip is by using spectator mode, and that wasn't a 1.9 addon.

Congrats, you've officially told us that we can discard your opinions on this.

For you it does, because you refuse to stop spam-clicking.

"NUUUU I WANT 2 WIN FITES BY CLIK MUCH TIEMZ BCUZ I HAZ NO SKILL"

Actually, it really should be there.

Usually it's either "Waaahhhh now I can't just click a lot and win, ME HAT U MOJAGN" or "Wooden axes = diamond swords".
There is something to be said for the click removal though, God help you if you anger a pigman or miss while attacking.
Legitimately, you CANNOT fend off pigmen now.

I seriously don't understand why Mojang thought it would be a good idea to make wooden axes stronger than diamond swords. Seriously. Mine for diamonds? NAH, I'll just whack the mobs away with my shovel! Stronger indeed than the weapon designed for hitting.
I can understand axes doing more damage than swords, but seriously?
And this is coming from someone who goes to all limits possible to defend Mojang at most times!

I like this! It's cool, and it comes in OOC form!

I believe there's a thing, you just do /tp @e[tagHere] ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ directly before or after (in the same tick) the command that tp's the entity to the player, and it auto-rotates.
