Hey folks!
I'm back with this month's update, with tons of new epic changes that have been made. Most of them were altering existing textures. This is a huge update, with mostly quality of life changes across the board, but with a few brand new textures as well.
Bedrock also got some changes as well, and a few bedrock screenshots are also uploaded above. (the last 2)
This update touches over 1,000 textures, with 60 brand-new additions, 146 major reworks, and hundreds of smaller refinements across the pack. Here's what's new:
Biggest reworks:
The redstone wiring was colour-corrected to better match the pack aesthetics.
The cherry boat got a significant rework, and all the chest textures (normal, trapped, and ender) have been rebuilt at a higher resolution for crisper detail.
The temperate chicken and slime were both reworked and bumped up in resolution.
The dirt now is dynamic with grass roots and dirt.
New textures:
Full CTM support added for short grass and tall grass, as well as new grass textures.
New quartz block side CTM variants
Lit blast furnace front and lit smoker front.
60 new textures in total:
Crops, plants & farming
A big pass on the farming and foliage side: pumpkin, melon, and wheat stems reworked, beetroot and wheat growth stages refreshed, dry grass variants improved, and the farmland textures cleaned up. Plants like ferns, bamboo leaves, and dead bushes also got touched up.
Sand and dirt
Base stone, dirt, sandstone, and the dirt CTM set were refined for better consistency across terrain.
Fixes & cleanup
The chiselled quartz block is now properly textured, dirt and farmland transitions were cleaned up, and a number of redundant/old files were removed to keep the pack lean.
The numbers
1,024 textures touched · 60 added · 146 major reworks · 878 smaller refinements · 30 removed
