I know this forum is being closed soon and going archive only so i'll just say this.


HUGE THANKS TO ALL THE SUPPORT OVER NEARLY 8 YEARS, making CH changed my life and still is!!

From a hobby texture pack to now co owner of a games studio and working with huge names such as Microsoft and the awesome people in our team and others we collaborate with over at http://syclonestudios.com/

AMAZING BONKERS journey!!

CH is now available for 1.14 as is the CH shader addon pack. *HUGE VILLAGE AND PILLAGE UPDATE IS ON ITS WAY* What a task this update has been, months of work.

CH is doing VERY well over on the Bedrock MC platform in the official Marketplace.

THE best place to follow my progress and get news of updates and changes is my twitter, i'm on it daily almost. https://twitter.com/ChromaHills

Wishing everyone the best

Hello, new here, I love the resource pack and can’t play without it lol.. does the shader pack go on top of the resource pack for 1.13... I’m also using seus renewed in the shaders folder.. like I said I’m new here but I don’t seem to be getting 100 percent of the results in the picture.. any help would be appreciated!

Shader pack is looking amazing and full Optifine CTM support!!

Quote from MrAws0m3»

any thoughts on mod support for mods such as thaumcraft, forestry, BOP, Galacticraft, and etc?

I am currently making my own for personal use but it would be nice to get an official version

This pack takes so long for one artist to work on and with the increased update speed of new Minecraft features i just don't have the time, i've worked on CH for 1000's of hours since 2012 its a huge commitment on its own.

JAVA update V3 is VERY VERY close folks as well as the release of the new full 1.13 shader pack by CH modder Skyli!

I've also been hard at work on all the new blocks and Village and Pillage update!

Pandas!

Quote from Drommedhar»

Still no word of Syclone concerning shader support, even after you 2 already created the needed files.

Just very busy but also in the processing of moving all CH files to a new server and the shader pack will be done along with that move!

I finished the normal/parallax addon pack for 1.13 and sent to Syc. I hope he can release it soon

Annnnd a awesome job you have done too!

Will have this out soon as poss guys!

Quote from MrChoke»

Thanks for this big update!

I did want to point out some errors that are still showing up in the minecraft log related to your pack:

[15:32:32] [Client thread/WARN]: Exception loading blockstate definition: 'minecraft:blockstates/tube_coral_fan.json' in resourcepack: 'ChromaHills-128x-1.13-v2' for variant: 'facing=east': Unknown blockstate property: 'facing'
[15:32:32] [Client thread/WARN]: Exception loading blockstate definition: 'minecraft:blockstates/tube_coral_fan.json' in resourcepack: 'ChromaHills-128x-

...

There are quite a few of these in the log. I don't think it affects anything but just FYI.

Hope you are enjoying it!

Hmm yes i cant see these errors causing issue in game but thanks!

Thanks!

I noticed you've added scaffolding and bamboo in the changelogs, I take it you're already working on the 1.14 update, super!

Keep it up, you're doing awesome

My current computer isn't able to run the resource pack together with my private server, so I can only use it in single player. But I'm working on a new machine with more mem.

Well into working on 1.14 stuff Jack, just finished the crossbow and all the cats!

Heres some latest 1.14 progress guys!

Wanted to get the crossbow to look similar to the bow in style and materials and i'm pretty happy with the result. Didn't know you can launch fireworks from it so that's pretty coooool!

Syclone, wanted to let you know of a small bug in the 1.13 pack. "repeater_off.png" is not the correct name. Your repeater off texture is not rendering. It should be "repeater.png". Note, "repeater_on.png" is correct for the ON texture.

Thanks

Heyy just re download the pack it should be fixed there's also so other changes/fixes i'll run up a quick list in a while gotta dash out!

Quote from DavethXL»

yeah your download link is 100% broken, which is annoying cause it's apparently the most popular pack, and it's just everywhere

Hey it should be working fine just go here http://chromahills.com/

Also where are you clicking the link i'll make sure its fixed??

The pack is everywhere, what kinda places out of interest?

Hope that works for you now and you enjoy it!

Chroma Hills PC JAVA 1.13 AQUATIC UPDATE IS NOW LIVE!!!

Horses will follow as they are still broken and need some time spent on them as they ruined them with the new simple model update.

As always CH is a work in progress on Java so some things aren't done which is menus/GUI.

Hope you enjoy.

Hi, is it possible that your texture for chiseled stonebricks is a bit outdated?

I searched for older pictures of your resource pack and the current chiseled stonebricks texture seems to be made for your old stonebricks textures.

Could you please update the chiseled stonebricks?

Yeeees a block i've been meaning to change in ages!

Hope you like it
