So I'm tempted to get back into Minecraft after a long absence, but the texturepack I used to use hasn't been updated since january. Anyone here use something with a similar aesthetic?
Thanks for the positive comments everyone. It's not nearly done though. We're going to have a lot more buildings and at least one defensive wall. I'm using the Painterly pack http://painterlypack.net/ You can choose between loads of alternatives for pretty much everything in the game. I chose the red American earth because it reminds me of the south. I tried the cel-shade pack and this is how the castle looks in that: I feel I would love the celshaded pack, if it was just programmed so that surfaces that are adjacent form a uniform whole, so that there's a not very visible edge on every block. if it had that, I'd switch right away.
It doesn't have quite the same gridded look, but it doesn't look that different from Jolicraft, which is what I use.
I agree, Robert. To me it makes it feel like a retro gameworld. Oh and Rowan, I'd say the Cell-shaded pack is pretty close to that. Also looks smoother, I find.
I'm thinking of making a texture pack but I'm not sure what the theme should be. Future/tech?? I dunno.
What about 32x32 pixel textures, flat shading, rectilinear designs only ~ no approximations of curves, and using a 6-bit RGB colour palette.
No, you'd have black/dark tiles with neon edges (and detail), so it looks like something out of Tron.
well after building a few thingys I thought it was time to show them off first pic is my first house that i call house of the lost as i was always losing it. Next to it is my bridge of sighs, my first bridge which i've given up on at present close up of the bridge of sighs, Just below is the remains of my first mine next is my wharehouse called Romany, here i keep most of the goodies i find until i need them. just in front are my obsedian pits while the fires in front of the house are pits filled with nether rack?
my third house called woody. was going to build it completly from wood but then relised it my burn down so put a cobblestone roof on it lastly my newer project seen in the distance a spire which may be lit up with netherack if i can stopp falling off it will put some gardens round it one day. next project will be to fence off round the houses i think
Lookin' great so far Judge! How about one of these Rowan? http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=334843&sid=ddc721265c184e108895a2b0fe97a952 http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=292726&sid=ddc721265c184e108895a2b0fe97a952 http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=222004&sid=ddc721265c184e108895a2b0fe97a952
Something like that. I would have used dark colours and grey as well as black, because black textures on their own can look very flat. I would have made the neons brighter aswell, and the neon detail I would have used would be similar to the black detail in your cell shaded pack.
Okay, the first two sections of track are up and running on the server. From the town square, to over behind my house. Please make sure to break down and stash the minecarts in the chest after disembarking, as I caught some shady characters joyriding around the map this morning.
Yeah, signs might be an idea. The first time I rode it last night, someone left a car sitting at the end near your tree, so when I got there I just bounced off and rocketed back towards town.
It would be cool if there was a mechanism to automatically break down the cart once you hit the end of the track.
