Hey there, just a quick update - YES, I'm working on the 1.20 Trails & Tales update for Jolicraft. It's almost done, actually (Wait til you see the SNIFFER! My new fav!). No eta but it shouldn't be much longer. Sit tight my friends!

Hello Andre,

I saw the jolicraft HD is updated on bedrock marketplace but not good old Jolicraft. Do you know when will be updated?

I play mainly in switch so I'm unable to use the HD textures even on 16.

I don't think the 16× version included with Jolicraft HD would perform any differently. However, I am also wondering about updates. The original Jolicraft listing has been removed from the Marketplace in favor of Jolicraft HD. Does this mean we have to purchase the pack a second time just to receive updates?

That's Microsoft's doing. They won't let me have both the standard version and the HD version separately (they have a policy about not having different 'versions' of a texture pack available as separate purchases). Their only option for me was to include the 16x version as part of the new version. There MIGHT be a way for me to update the old version, even though it's not available to purchase, for those who have already purchased it. I'll look into that. For now though, unfortunately, yeah you'll have to buy the HD version even though you bought the old version. I'd give it to you for free if I could but I don't have that power. I can guarantee that the new version WILL keep getting updated, I plan on making sure Jolicraft up to date as long as I'm alive! (no plans to die any time soon btw)

Any idea when the HD pack will be updated for 1.19 on bedrock? I downloaded the pack on my PS5 and the 16x will work, however, the game crashes if I try to use or run the 64 or 128 HD resolutions. I’m assuming it’s because they need to be updated? Any idea when this may happen?

The HD pack has been VERY SLOW through the queue of the Microsoft team. I submitted it over 2 months ago and I just FINALLY got word today that it'll release on Tuesday of next week. So sorry for the delay!

Hello, love the pack! i was wondering where i can find those alternate textures? i checked my download and could only find GUI and glass alts, as opposed to the rest shown in the image.

Yeah that pic is outdated. Sorry. Here's a link to all the alts that I've collected:

Hey Everyone. Just a quick update to let you know that thanks to a great community member (props to XenonZed), Jolicraft was just updated with some quality-of-life improvements:

- Custom watercolours added for use in Optifine

- Red sand now has some random variation

- Smithing table UI colours fixed

- New beacon beam texture

- Hotbar slightly transparent now

This is a weird request, but any plans on making a PBR addition to the base texture pack so that textures have a little bit of depth. I've attached an image to show what I mean although that one is a little more aggressive than what I mean. You can also see it in the beginning of this video . Either way this is one of the best texture packs and a can't wait for new updates.

Thanks Joliceur, not only for creating this wonderful pack but keeping it updated through all the years. Looking forward to 1.17; Jolicraft is one of the essentials I wait on before moving to a new patch.

Albeit, I've made a lot of small modifications to your pack to suit my own needs. I've got a few technical questions:

1) What program do you use to create the textures?

2) In many parts of your textures, on flat surfaces (i.e. places that don't have fine details e.g. wool, stone, interior of wood planks, etc), there's a lot of small variance in shading. Do you use a tool to achieve this effect or is it done by hand?

I ask this because when I make my own textures, I can't get the shading to look right and it always comes out as overly cartoonish or low-resolution compared to yours. An apt comparison might be the difference between Legend of Zelda 1 and 3 graphics. I end up relying on mix-and-matching parts and colorization tools instead. Any insight would be appreciated.

1. Photoshop, but honestly any digital painting program would do. GIMP and Krita are great free alternatives. It's not the program that makes a good texture, it's the method.

2. I've done a few tutorials. I made some texture painting tutorials back in the day. They're outdated from a technical standpoint but there are some good tips for painting textures (link https://www.youtube.com/user/doodlemachineDOTcom).
ALSO

I have a NEW art channel and I've done a few Minecraft videos, with more on the way (including a basic "how to paint pixel textures" video!). Subscribe so you don't miss it!

Always nice nabbing stuff for free on the marketplace. Sadly I don't think those skins will work with Java though, only the Bedrock versions support HD skins.

Anyway just posting to give a heads-up: there's a patch coming out this Thursday which is adding a "Social Interactions" menu when playing multiplayer. From what I can tell, here are the new textures which need to be added:

1. There's a new texture in the gui folder called social_interactions.png

2. A new tutorial icon has been added to toasts.png next to the wood icon

Here's a couple more issues to fix, too. I've put them inside this spoiler.

Simple issue to spot with the bed here. One half of the bottom texture is flipped incorrectly. (I'm pretty sure it's like this on all the beds, too)

Comparing how the chests look with 1.14 Jolicraft:

vs. how they look now:

It looks like you made some small mistakes when you updated the chests for 1.15. For the single chest the interior is oriented upside down (rotated 180 degrees) from how it used to be, similar to that issue the ender chest had a while ago. (the exterior textures are all vertically mirrored too, but that's not really important.)

The bigger issue here is the double chest's interior texture though. It's pretty jarring to see that in-game once you notice it for the first time.

The double trapped chest's interior is also upside down from what it used to be.

Ah thank you! I'll add these to the to-do list. I've started on the previous list you kindly provided. I'll have it ready soon!

ATTENTION JOLICRAFTERS!

How would you like a FREE SKIN PACK of SPOOKY COSTUMES!?!? Bedrock users can find it available for FREE in the Minecraft Marketplace. It's easy to find, just head over to the Halloween section of the Marketplace and you'll see it on the first page.

Java users, I wouldn't leave you guys out of the fun. Grab the pack of skins here: http://www.jolicraft.com/download/SpookyCostumes.zip

Happy TRICK OR TREATING!

Hey Andre (or do you go by Jolicoeur?), just passing by to tell you how much I admire your work.

I've been a loyal user of Jolicraft for years. It's always pure joy to check the website looking for the newest version and see it already there. I love — better: I worship — the art, I love everything about it, and it complements the game like a superpower. Jolicraft takes up a huge part of the game's merit to have kept me playing for years. The pack is literally the biggest ally of my whole experience with Minecraft.

I've just read the "About" page on the website and it just made my relationship with Jolicraft so much better. It verbalizes very precisely the state of mind the pack brings: joy. I'm very happy you are "addicted", as the text says, to designing it. I'm truly very happy to read that. I hope we keep walking side by side as the next versions roll out; me, from Brazil, by admiring your art; you, from wherever you live — France? Because of Jolicoeur? —, by designing it.

I honestly believe I'm not the only long-term admirer. I felt the need to pass by and tell you my relationship with your work for 3 reasons: it's very true; I value giving feedback to artists; and the last paragraph of the "About" page told me, the reader, to do exactly what I'm doing right now.

Hope you are well during the virus. Bye!

Thank you sooooo much my friend! You're too kind. This is why I made Jolicraft in the first place. I hate the default look of Minecraft, with it's candyshop clashy colours and old ugly lazy textures. And I was always so frustrated finding a texture pack I loved, but then the creator would stop updating or take it in a different direction. Every time Minecraft would be updated, it's a whole new cohort of texture packs that wouldn't follow and would fade into obscurity. I vowed long ago to keep Jolicraft updated for the latest version of Minecraft FOREVER. Jolicraft will always be there to join you on your adventures

I'm from Canada, btw. Andre' Jolicoeur is the name, but I don't speak a word of french. My parents passed on the name but not the language.

Thank you a thousand times for reaching out! It means a lot.

JOLICRAFT IS COMING TO THE BEDROCK EDITION! (Dec 18th)

That's
right! At long last, you'll be able to download Jolicraft from the
Minecraft marketplace on the bedrock edition of Minecraft. This includes
Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Android, iPad/iPhone, etc.

I'm
super excited to finally share this news. I've been working with the
good folks at Microsoft for a while now to get Jolicraft ready for
release on the Bedrock editions. It's been a journey! After many bumps
in the road we're finally on our way. Be sure to check the Minecraft
Marketplace next week on December 18th to download it for your device.

brand new account with only one post? different username and no icon, this looks sketchy

i'd be inclined to think this is someone who stole andre's work and is attempting to sell it under an imposter name
