Liking the obsidian, alright about the bricks, DO NOT WANT that birch. Looks more flat and featureless, despite attempting to add depth.

Apparently blurriness is Minecraft's theme? Though I'm pretty sure far simpler and harder textures all throughout the game would disagree.

Obsidian looks... alright. Kind of rougher, though we have coal blocks so we don't need a rougher blue-black block.

Birch and brick is the same as what we have, just blurry for no good reason.

Jungle I think would be better as is, because it's the contrast that makes them so striking.

Everything else basically looks the same.

Recommendation: Get a new pixel artist.

The texture size they're using just doesn't support smooth transitions. It all ends up looking like an image was upscaled and lost it's quality.

Heres what I think:

Obsidian Texture: Yeah. that looks realistic and good. (10/10)

Brick texture: Not very nice to look at, doesn't look too good. (4/10)

Log textures: These seem ok on trees; but I don't want all the builds made with logs looking like that... (5/10)

Iron block: Minimal change. Seems fine. (10/10)

Just my opinion, don't hate it.

No please no...

I don't quite know how I feel about this.

The obsidian, while it DOES look more like obsidian, just doesn't have that minecraft feel anymore. It makes it look like something out of Terraria or Starbound, except in 3D.

The Bricks look... Fine. I really can't say anything. It still LOOKS like a Minecraft texture... But maybe it would be a better idea to add the "polished" bricks as a variant to the original.

The birch wood, while it looks pretty good, Looks a little too smooth. Minecraft is made up out of cubes. It makes sense that the textures would be somewhat simple too. The old birch wood has a nice contrast between the black stripes, and the white paper bark.

It seems like the artist was aiming at a little more realism with the birch wood. A part of the fun of minecraft is that it ISN'T realistic. (mostly.)

Anyway, those are my 2 cents. Take them with a grain of salt if you will.

They destroyed the pvp community and now they want to destroy the community of builders, 8 years of construction, ruined.

Personally I don't like it, its like they just made it really blurry. i just want them to make the glass completly clear and the water clearish blue.

Not really going for the new stuff, especially the obsidian, it really makes the obsidian and coal block look identical to each other.

I don't like the new textures, it doesn't have the Minecraft feel, and looks like one of those 32x32 texture packs that try to make everything look more smooth and realistic. I'm okay with having this as a resource pack that is automatically installed or as alternate textures for the game, but as default textures, I personally don't like them.

Same here, would love it as a alternative pack, but main pack? nope.

stop ruining Notch's game

PLEASE Mojang, DON'T change the textures!!!!!!! I think it would be a bad idea since veteran Minecraft players like myself will have a hard time getting used to the new textures.

Honestly, all of the new textures look blurry. I don't really like them... at all... (except the iron block, I don't mind it. However it looks the same lol)

If these do get released as official Minecraft textures, I will make a resource pack with all of the current Minecraft textures that we all know and love and use it instead of these... abominations.

I apologize if anyone took this offensively. I mean no harm to the Minecraft community.

I don't really like this, I love Minecraft as is, they look blurry, especially the birch that looks gross

the iron and bricks don't look that bad, but iron hasn't changed much and bricks are still blurry

Maybe if, before being implemented into the game, it was released as a resource pack so people can really see the impact it will have before being stuck with it...

That's exactly what they're planning to do.

Great, this pack should be coded into the game by the next update, that would be really cool.

I personally like the obsidian change, but I believe that the trees and the bricks look less graphic from the change. Lastly, what is supposed to be the difference between the two iron blocks, because I am not seeing any difference?

The coloring is slightly different. One on the right is more reddish/brownish than the one on the left.
