Pixel Perfection cleanup

[Wuzzy2]

Pixel Perfection is now the official texture pack in MCL2. Pixel Perfection has some weirdness which should be slowly fixed. Here is a list:

Missing images (high importance):

• [ ] Llama carpets

Broken images / violates game intentions (high importance):

• [x] Sandstone* (top and bottom must be flat (no tiling), currently it makes deserts look very unnatural)
• [x] Mossy Stone Bricks (bad pattern at edges)
• [x] Grass Path (no grass cover)
• [x] Farmland (hard to distinguish from dirt)
• [x] Most plants (violate selectionbox)
• [x] Fence* (missing pattern)
• [x] Snow on dirt (visible grass)
• [x] Door sides
• [ ] Nether portal (not animated, very basic)

Deviates too much from original design (medium importance):

• [x] Block of Iron (color mismatch)
• [x] Nether Brick* (color mismatch)
• [ ] Ender Pearl (color mismatch)
• [ ] Eye of Ender (color mismatch, does not look like an eye is easy to confuse with ender pearl)
• [x] Daylight sensor (no glass pattern)
• [x] Polished Granite (no tile pattern)
• [x] Polished Diorite (no tile pattern)
• [x] Shulker box top (color does poorly match the rest of the box)
• [x] Iron Door (too dark and woody)
• [ ] Sticky piston front (not slimy at all)
• [X] Block of Clay (color mismatch, looks very similar to red terracotta)
• [x] Chiseled Stone Bricks (pattern mismatch)
• [x] Red mushroom (should be a single mushroom instead of 3)
• [ ] Lily pad (too small, remember the point of this is to be walkable)
• [x] Allium (looks very different)

Poor design (for the purposes of MCL2) (low importance, might keep existing textures):

• [ ] Cobblestone (too similar to brick pattern)
• [ ] Moss Stone (too similar to brick pattern, weird moss pattern)
• [ ] Mossy cobblestone wall (unrealistic; Pixel Perfection texture available, not used yet)
• [X] Slime Block (too weird)
• [x] Clay (too big)
• [x] Flint (weird color)
• [x] Redstone (item image looks like nether wart)
• [ ] Diamond (too small and subtle)
• [ ] Nether Quarz (too small and subtle)
• [ ] Emerald (too small)
• [x] Hunger icon (red, same color as heart)
• [x] Stained Glass (too high saturation; it's my fault! xD)
• [ ] *Sand* (too pale)
• [ ] Brick block (looks to cheap / simple / irregular. looks like cobblestone, but in red)

Mobs (varying degrees of importance):

• [x] Endermite (not black)
• [x] Illagers (not finished yet)
• [x] Llama (not finished yet)
• [x] Skeleton Horse (not finished yet)
• [ ] Creeper (brownish, high contrast)
• [X] Chicken (high contrast)
• [x] Magma Cube (very weird)

---

General design goals:

• Items should be usually be recognizable on first glance
• No overstylization or weirdness
• Colors should generally match the to the original roughly, e.g. if the slime is green in MC, it should not be red in MCL2
• Coherence: The final texture should make sense with all the other existing textures (exceptions are of course the incomplete textures in the lists above)

Like i said in: https://github.com/maikerumine/mobs_mc/pull/122 "i recolored the "endermite" to look a little more like the default mc texture: "

[kingoscargames]

I edited the iron door textures:

[kingoscargames]

I edited some other textures: (Redstone dust, diamond, shulker box top textures,Nehter brick:block,item,slab and fence and the clay block and item) textures.zip

[Wuzzy2]

Awesome! I will go through this very soon. I won't promise to include everything, but the first impression is good.

[Wuzzy2]

Shulker box tops included. Clay included. Block of Clay included. Redstone is too bright (as if it is glowing and doesn't look good in inventory). Not sure if I can include diamond. Nether brick blocks are too bright (in MC they are pretty dark, but not black) and do not go well together with the red nether brick block. I think the nether brick block and the red nether brick block should both be redesigned to they go both together. I also want the red nether brick block to somehow stand out because of its unique crafting. I am currently trying to find a good color combination. It's harder than it sounds. :D

The next time you post many images, please use Zip archives the next time you post many images. GitHub destroys the file name and it is annoying to download.

ok edited it

Not sure if I can include diamond.

I didnt edit the mc texture.

[kingoscargames]

This redstone texture?:

[Wuzzy2]

After 2-3 hours of tweaking, here are the new nether brick textures:

[kingoscargames]

What do you think about the iron door texture i recolored?:

[Wuzzy2]

kingoscargames: If you change the iron door to share the colors or the iron trapdoor, or the new block of iron, I'll take it. It's all about coherence, you know?

[kingoscargames]

What about this?: (The middle 2 blocks are the door bottom and top) mcl_doors_door_iron.zip

[Wuzzy2]

Taken! :smiley:

[kingoscargames]

Magma Cube (very weird)

[Wuzzy2]

Added!

[kingoscargames]

Stained Glass (too high saturation

glass_recolored.zip

[kingoscargames]

Chiseled Stone Bricks (pattern mismatch)

[Wuzzy2]

Textures included! Thanks!

[kingoscargames]

Slime Block (too weird)

[kingoscargames]

Chicken (high contrast)

(I only removed the the color to make it grey and then turned up the brightness)

[Wuzzy2]

Chicken included! Chicken is also included in the mobs_mc. Slime block included! Thanks.

[kingoscargames]

Ender Pearl (color mismatch) Eye of Ender (color mismatch, does not look like an eye is easy to confuse with ender pearl) Red mushroom (should be a single mushroom instead of 3)

textures1.zip EDIT: LOL i didnt show the ender pealr in the screenshot EDIT2:

[Wuzzy2]

To be honest, I am not too happy with the End stuff (contrast is too high compared with other textures).

Red mushroom looks just like a recolor of the brown mushroom. But it does match the huge red mushroom well. What I like more is when the two mushrooms differ a bit (but visually) in size and/or shape.

Maybe I'll do my own try on these textures later.

[kingoscargames]

" Red mushroom looks just like a recolor of the brown mushroom"
It actually is :P

[Gerold55]

How about a brand new texture pack made by the community for MineClone 2? Just an idea

[Wuzzy2]

This implies the current textures of MCL2 are bad. I don't think so.

At this moment, there are only ca. 20 textures left with which I am not satisfied, but not all of them are really important. Note I am already happy with the majority of textures.

At this moment, I'm not willing to replace the full texture pack again; I don't see the need. But I have nothing against an unofficial texture pack, of course. But then you're more or less on your own.

[Gerold55]

A number of others and myself are working on a texture pack so MineClone 2 looks closer to Minecraft but is textured the way the community wants it to look. If that makes sense. So a community based texture pack

[MysticTempest]

Hey Wuzzy,

I just finished creating llama carpets for my personal texture pack. If they're to your liking feel free to use them. They're cc-by-sa 4.0 like all my other textures.

mcl_portals.zip

[Wuzzy2]

Sorry for the long wait, but I simply was on a MineClone 2 hiatus.

@MysticTempest: Thank you for working on the llama carpets, but somehow these carpet colors just make me feel sick. Something just feels wrong about these colors, as if my monitor is broken. In these form I can't take these textures, sorry. @Gerold55: The portal texture is almost identical to Minecraft's texture, this is a no-go. It has to be an unique work.

[Gerold55]

That's the PP portal though @Wuzzy2

[Wuzzy2]

Well, in that case, the PP portal turns out to be a (almost) unchanged from Minecraft. Thanks for noticing, however.

[MysticTempest]

@Wuzzy2 - That's alright. Thanks for at least taking a look at them.

[Gerold55]

@MysticTempest why not adjust them slightly so they look similar to MC's but match up with PP.

[Wuzzy2]

Because I'm not in the mood right now. :P But feel free to make your own changes, I guess MysticTempest would understand.

[MysticTempest]

@Gerold55: Sure, I'll make an attempt, just been busy; plus texture taste is pretty subjective.

@Wuzzy2: Here's an attempt at an updated version where they're desaturated & noisy like PixelPerfection.
