You can change the fog and nether lighting with mcpatcher iirc if you really want to get crazy too.

Not sure if I should go interesting crop colours or more standard greens... Pack doesn't really have a fantasy theme or whatever so I can do what I want really.

I have A LOT to learn. I haven't pixelled in literal years so I might avoid this modelling lark for a bit. Also wanted to say how crazy it is that this thread has continued to thrive. I still remember my first post on here and the day I was made an (old, should probably remove the sig) admin. Some

of the best years lf my life tbh

Welcome back, numberfour I too just recently came back to this thread after being inactive for about half a year maybe? Anyways, good to see you back.

I've never worked with things this small before, but I would agree with Ringoster, however at the same time I wouldnt as I am not sure how you would be able to make some of these tools vertically. The rest of the textures look pretty decent though
___________________________________

Working on revamping some of my older textures that I wasn't very happy with and they weren't very pleasant to look at and making the ores actually look like they are embedded in the stone. I think I am keeping the name Miresa for my pack name.

Well now that I'm back into texturing I'd most likely be joining the next contest provided we aren't required to do too many blocks. Short but sweet seems to be the best format for these!

Well I'm also back into texturing, this time I'm working on finishing Harmony (from the simple pack challenge if you guys remember my entry?) so I can actually release it. Still a bit rough but I've made a lot more progress and it's certainly getting there.

I've done some of the more annoying things like making a nice water animation (really happy with how they turned out) and things like the sun and moon too although they aren't shown. Also done a few misc mcpatcher things and particles such as the rain. Just finishing things in whatever order I decide they need to be changed.

Basically, it's getting there. Hopefully not too much longer and I'll be ready to release it!

Same^ wish I'd seen this when it was made, looks like it would've been a really fun contest. Not too many things to do and a chance to be as creative as you want without forcing people to work with a specific style too.

The entries that were made look sweet though, nice work everyone!

I tried to have it on a separate layer moving at a different speed and everything before but unfortunately the options for blending with the sky meant it looked quite out of place, the colours weren't what I wanted or a couple of other problems. Was quite annoying but for the planets/moons specifically it wasn't a good option.

That said, I could actually add a north star or something to the skybox, just a slightly bigger and brighter star than normal would look fine I think. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ok, I'll just fiddle with the fog colours a little bit and then I think we're good. Here's how the guardians turned out. I think the big one is quite menacing myself!

Sheep, how viable is it to blend the skybox into the fog colour? Is it even possible? I can see why it might be a problem because of the different biome palettes, but I thought I'd ask anyway since you might know more about this.

You can clearly see the border of loaded chunks because the colours don't blend. It's a minor effect you only really notice at high altitudes. If anything this is a limitation of Minecraft itself, considering the effect is still noticeable even in vanilla.

Ok thanks for the replies guys!

Glad it is working okay then. I'll finish up this guardian texture and upload the update.


Cerebro83: I also preferred having it pitch black underground where there's no light source (makes sense) but I guess it's still dark and gameplay > realism for most people so I'd rather keep it as playable as possible. Also like you said, we can always use the old file if need be!

EDIT: Oh, I'm smashing up the planet a little bit too, it's almost done as well:

Well with the old one I couldn't see in caves at all, with the new one I can see in caves and torchlight spreads out a touch further. It's still darker than outside at nighttime but I could still see with moody lighting on...

EDIT: I'll check to make sure it's the right lightmap, if it is then I'll wait and see if other people can notice a difference or not. If they can't then I'll lighten it a bit more I suppose.

Ok, I've decided to add a touch more content to this update too so I'm currently working on the guardians too. I think it's the last normal mob I've still yet to do?

After that I think the only content I have left to add is the ender dragon and the wither.

Anyways, here's a link to the updated lightmap. I'd love it if I could get an impression of it before I release the update so that I don't need to edit it again later.

Thanks for all the responses and replies guys! I've almost finished up a quick v3.4 release which will have a few fixes and things including the server selection, a lighter lightmap so it isn't absolutely pitch black in caves and a couple of other things.

Also including the stained glass that Arcensoth kindly made and I'm currently experimenting a bit with the skybox as well so see if I should explode the planet/moon a little.

Alright, I'll throw them together and send them your way.

I'm indifferent towards credit for this. They're still your textures, and basically all I did was stitch them together. Honestly, don't worry about it - this conversation is credit enough.

I'll mention this here in case anyone else wants to chime in. I wanted to preserve the original design of the glass as best I could, so I only removed trim from the open/connecting sides of the glass. One obvious side-effect of this is the circular design that forms when 3 corners meet. Personally, I don't mind it (I think it gives the glass more character than it would have with no trim in these areas), but someone else might think it looks odd. Here's what it looks like:

I'm open for suggestions/criticism. I already have the files and tools setup, so making changes would likely require minimal effort on my part.

I think it looks great as is honestly, It's probably exactly what I would have done for the ctm on the stained glass!

Been doing some independent testing sheep, it seems like Hell and Sky biomes share a color palette with all deserts and savannahs

It's not listed in that image, but when I color the swathe for desert and savannah on this image
http://i.imgur.com/ZmYLDxk.jpg

Or even just the bottom left single pixel at 0,0

It colors the Hell Biome's sky if I'm doing the sky colormap, or grass if I'm doing that colormap.

Correct me if I'm wrong but without coloring desert and savannah too, I think its impossible to colorize the Hell and Sky biomes.

I'm having a problem with the resource pack. This is how the buttons for server lists are supposed to look...

But with Pixel Perfection I get this...

I am using Minecraft 1.8.0 with Optifine. Is there something wrong with the pack, or is it just me?

EDIT: I went through the files and confirmed that the server icons sprite sheet from Pixel Perfection matches the vanilla one, so that shouldn't be an issue. Is there an Optifine configuration file of some sorts in Pixel Perfection that could be causing this??

For me it just seems like all the stone and brick-like textures are very soft, it would be cool if some of the bricks had sharper corners or maybe looked like they protruded more from the blocks by having a larger bevel or something.
