Will there be a resource pack/theme for this server?

[Flo]

that'd be cool. I know they're already looking at mods so maybe some sort of custom resource thing would be neat too

Usually I just use Ovo's, but that was a long while ago. I haven't looked into making a custom resource pack, and I honestly don't see much of a point unless we're doing something super rare and special.

Well i'm not sure what the overall goal of this is. are you making like some fantasy or medieval like thing. I guess I was thinking for a theme would be nice, because anything anyone built would make sense. I know I personally hate the default minecraft resource pack and I tend to build things with a theme, which would probably look ugly with vanilla, so I was just wondering.

[Seperallis]

Eh, I could recommend one that we all use, if you want, since you're right. I personally find Ovo's Rustic Redemption to be my favorite, I've used it since 1.6 and will probably be building/designing with it in mind. I just like that it adds a great deal of very clean, HD detail while still being mostly true to the original aesthetic, without too much of the ugly muddling of textures many other HD textures have when viewed at longer distances (You can still tell what is what). While there's clear differences on some blocks, it's also similar enough in general aesthetic to the original base textures that designing with certain materials will still carry across to someone with only the base resources.

But that's enough of me waxing nostalgic. Honestly, I'm open to suggestions for other packs. Ideally, it would be nice to have a spread of different "recommended" resources to choose from and test for cross-texture design compatibility, so people can choose what one they like best and still have your designs carry through to them...instead of, you know, forcing everyone to use one resource pack that they don't necessarily like too much.

Sounds like a good plan... I'll see what packs I've used and check out the Ovo's pack. The one's I generally use mostly change the sandstone texture, to a darker shade rather than the bright tan the game has by default. I mostly do this, because I like using sandstone in buildings and such.

So I checked what i've been using. I typically use one called Conquest... it has a darker scheme.

On a minecraft related item... does anyone here play Creativerse?? Just curious, because it might be nice to play with some more people. It is free to play more or less... I have pro so server options are a little easier.

I've a custom mod list assembled for a roleplayed Youtube series that I'm working on. Give me a sign if you're interested.

[Mestra]

I might be interested.
