Alvoria, I'm not TRYING To make a detailed Resource Pack.
It's Supposed To Be Cartoony.
That is the exact same thing everyone says when they post those kinds of textures.
If you like it, thats fine. Your textures, so your vision. No issues there. The problem is they are indeed objectively bad. Flat colors with no shading is not "cartoony", it is just lack of skill. And this isn't to crap all over you, honest. I was literally in the same position as you in the beginning.
I mean, this was my first real attempt at a texture pack 7 years ago: https://i.imgur.com/3sN4moX.jpg
And this is more or less my pack now: https://i.imgur.com/LcX91yb.png
Fun fact: Technically these images are of the SAME texture pack. I have basically been working and reworking it since the beginning.
I am by no means an expert at texturing. I suck, but you can see that I have indeed improved quite a bit.
So again, if you want to make a texture pack that looks like that, more power to you. You do what you like and anyone who says otherwise can stuff it, including myself. However, if you wish to improve your skill, then taking the advice of someone like Alvoria is a good idea. I've been around here a LOT longer than most people, and I've seen him basically from his beginning, and he has become an amazing texture artist.

Funny you ask only the other day- I know I go lengths without updating, and I do apologize for that! Life and all, and I have to be in the right mindset, you know?
That aside.. I actually have been working on my pack off and on the last week or so, so yes you can expect an update to work in 1.19.3 here soon.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Features & Textures
Pack meta updated to 1.18
MCPatcher folders now renamed to work entirely off of Optifine!
Introducing a new Minecraft title, reworked finally for the pack rather than just a draw over! <3
Pack icon has been updated to fit with the new title image
Changed pack subtext colors to best match new pack icon
"Java Edition" title screen text updated to go with the new logo's shading
The panorama has been changed to a clean overlay which better represents my pack without being so distracting
"Mojang" loading logo has been updated from the old red text, now matches the new logo.
Loading screen background has been edited to fit the pack's theme
Splash texts have been overhauled with splashes for the pack and only a bit of nonsense.
Options background got a flashy overhaul!
Fixed the font just -slightly- to make it a little easier to read (still has issues with "bold" text, sadly)
Credits got a bit of an update with pack related stuff up top
postcredits got a little update as well
Unnecessary block models for potted plants removed
Fixed Chest & Double Chest textures to work with new format, removed old double chest files which are no longer used
Renamed Pufferfish to Poisonfisk (It was a tossup between this or fugu but I'm weird so I'll use my made-up name, lol)
Changed 'Amethyst' back to Emerald
Updated the Rune replacements for the SGA that flies into the enchanting book - less messy/choppy/wobbly now
Villagers fixed for the new structure- still a heavy WIP:
professions will be customized further asap (adding accessories etc since some use the same base)
profession levels now badges worn on upper chest instead of legs- finished.
village location types currently turned off due to styles clashing with profession designs
Finally made the texture for the farmer's straw hat

updated Large Rocks (cyan concrete powder)
Slight update to brighten the End Sky

Notes & Comments
* The Bedrock texture actually got changed just so I could use the existing one for Calcite, which it looks much more akin to.
* The Bedrock texture actually got changed just so I could use the existing one for Calcite, which it looks much more akin to.
* I couldn't decide between the designs for crimson and warped fungus, so I used both; the differences between them being in the color schemes.
* Probably not the best lava I could do, but it's been my bane for ages now and I can live with this for the time being. It's probably better than I think it is, though I know the tiling is a little bit off.
* Used the texture to include another household cat "Fuddle". The other currently is the dark grey long haired "Gwynnie" in place of the British Shorthair; I have plans to remake the calico to model after my own cat as well.* The ehcnantmen glint got a much needed update- I actually hated the old one but forgot after I made it that I caused the insane sheen on the potions myself... oops! Haha
** I completely redrew all the dyes, because I finally realized I was over using that one bottle style.
** Revamped the Fermented Spider Eye, deserved a "new" slot since it got such a total overhaul.
** The Glass bottle and all Potion Bottles got a full overhaul; the main glass bottle and potions are similar to the old versions yet got a much needed update, while the Splash and Lingering potions now have their own unique bottle designs!
** The Bottle o' Enchanting got a total- and I mean total overhaul. It's now made out of faceted green crystal. ♥
** Ok so as much as I loved the purple "poisonfish", with fish being entities now, I made the decision to finally draw the actual pufferfish item icon instead.
** Totally redrew the bucket.. after all this time I grew to dislike the metal..cup..look. Yeah. Obviously all relating bucket textures were updated as well.
*** I wasn't necessarily intending to remake the Gold Block, but an "I wonder what this would look like" trial ended up staying- so the Gold Block has been totally overhauled- in turn the Raw Gold block looks like a larger, rougher variety.
*** Been thinking glowstone looked too "gold" for some time now, and with the new gold block I had no choice but to buckle down and remake glowstone as well. It's got a completely new texture, and is animated now as well!
*** All Prismarine and related blocks have been entirely remade with a sort of tealy/green "sea jade" concept.
*** All End Stone and related blocks have been completely remade with a much cleaner, more detailed white marble design.

Oh I hope I didn't forget anything... I feel like I forgot something. AHEM, I mean...
The update.. it is here. Details in the first post.
Do be aware if you click to check the changelog, which is now under a spoiler, you may..drown. Please be careful!
Screenshots have been updated as well, also under a cut.
The old downloads are still there, as well as the new one. All updates from here on out are going up on MediaFire so I don't have to worry about weird sites with weird upload limits or weird hard to find download links.
...Guess it's time to start working on the NEXT update? Hahaha
Anyway, a little preview image of the shiny, pretty new menu screen:
PS: I have a site now, too. Simple, but it's there.

Hahaha I didn't even think about that, but I guess with the bright gradients, I can see that. Like 80's but not as neon. I'mma take that as quite the compliment, thank you!
Yes, it's been a crazy couple of years! After MCPatcher and Optifine took ages to load back with 1.13 in '18, some life things, and sort of hitting a bit of a creative block, well, I meant to get back to this sooner, then the world was plunged into chaos. I sort of avoided a LOT of things for 8-10 months, then at the beginning of last year a lot happened (good.. different, busy, but good things) and time sort of got away from me... next thing I know... it's been 4 years since I touched this, or Minecraft save to open it, get overwhelmed looking at all the changes and new things, and close it again. I don't know... almost 2 weeks ago I was working on some little custom things in Animal Crossing and started really itching to do more than the limiting color pallet could allow, finished what I was doing there, closed it, got the 1.18.1 update and have been uhhh... rather busy since. hehehe
I have umm... umm... *checks my changelog and pales* HAVE I REALLY FINISHED 98 NEW BLOCKS!? Huh, I guess I have. And that's not including items, updated, tweaks to textures and texts.. and I'm not ready to share the update QUITE yet so there'll be even more. heh heee o__o;

I did...but they went and changed the model/texture again and it currently doesn't match- ie the horses are currently broken, showing part of the body on the lower half of the neck. I was going to remake the template I put together when they finally fix that.
And congratulations!! That's amazing news! Good luck!
------
SO I'm redoing my stripped woods, and I think I like this new direction... Still MORE than glad to hear opinions and feedback, of course!

Seeing as how no one's responded, I will.
First and foremost, they look amazing. I won't deny that- you've done a wonderful job on these! Very clean, very sharp and the detail is amazing.
Now, my personal opinion which I have a feeling many of the community share; it's nothing at ALL against your work... but I for one prefer the fantasy, medieval appeal. I like feeling like I'm in a world without technology and the "stresses" of the real world. I LOVE exploring, building my farms, and building things like castles, old viking longhouses, etc. So for me, these models would ruin that appeal, as lovely as they are.
If you ever decide to go that route, and create more medieval/fantasy models... I would be MORE than glad to give you some suggestions, as there are a few things I would LOVE to have in my pack, but don't have the modeling skills to provide.
All in all, like I said, these sadly aren't for me, though I do love your work! Keep it up!
And as a sidenote; please do be careful with likenesses of licensed material- the gamecube MAY be an issue; I know for a fact Nintendo considers things like fanart and cosplay to be free promotion, but they've got a long standing history of shooting down fan-games, so I'm not sure about their products being represented in another game. They may or may not care, so do be careful. Bethesda and Steam as a whole don't mind free fan works, but again, be careful. I cannot speak for other companies. I'd recommend making sure there's a text file disclaimer for anything you recreate like that.

Hey everyone.. sitting on my next pack update for a bit but I've done some fun stuff. Wanted to share this though; I'm rather happy with how they came out and the detail for being 64x, but I'm always willing to hear opinions and constructive criticism. :3
They're my new "stripped" Logs; decided to go with a vine like knotwork and floral on them since they seemed so bland otherwise.
EDIT/UPDATE:
Thanks for the likes guys! However, and this took me by surprise, but I got it pointed out that the vinework look resembles termite patterning from a bit of a distance. *laughs* x'D
Leave it up to family to be brutally honest right? If it inspires me to do even better though I'm sure not arguing, so we'll see what I actually end up using. :3

That is entirely up to personal taste Some will say one, others will say another... in the end your idea of "best looking" may be all your own.
All I can say is look through packs and find one you like. Start by checking people's pack links in their signatures, look at those, check them out, try them out and see what you think.
Same goes for shaders- though personally I don't use them anyway. I just use the default ones that come with minecraft these days.
And lastly, good luck! Hope you find one that truly speaks to your tastes.

It's because they rewrote worldgen from the ground up; meaning, the algorithms behind the previously generated chunks have changed. New worldgen will interpret those chunks entirely different, and you'll have a completely different map at best- trashed, broken or missing chunks at worse. It could completely destroy a world that uses the old worldgen algorithm because the entire code base is different.
In short, new worldgen won't know that your previously generated chunks in your old world were even there. It won't know how to render them "properly".

I think what xXRoflRoflXx means is, it may take a while for them to code the new customization, so it may not be released back into the game in 1.13, but in a later release.
I personally like the customization, but I'm definitely on the page of "patience is a virtue". I can imagine it will be worth the wait, however long it turns out to take.
