Oh, it's been over a month and no new sneak peaks. Hope everything is fine! ^^<3 Also, you got your hands full with all the new stuff in the latest update that was just released. So much that can be punkified. I can't wait to see your ideas of how things should look! <3
Hey Glimmar, everything alright? There hasn't been much activity here
I'm still alive and kicking folks! Thank you for posting. I've been really, really busy with real life stuff I'm afraid...since January.
I haven't had a chance to do anything since I last posted.
Electron Kaleidoscope over on my Youtube channel alerted me to the fact that the Minecraft Forums here are about to close within a month. This was a complete and utter shock! I have been on these forums for around 10 years, first as a simple user and then very early on as a contributor with my one and only Glimmar's Steampunk resource pack.
I just want to say the very biggest and warmest thanks to all of you who have come along and shared in the experience over the years. I have conversed with so many of you in what is a unique an excellent environment for the exchange of ideas, support and encouragement. There will be nothing similar to these forums and Minecraft will never be the same without this place.
I am too old and too busy with RL at the moment to start over anywhere else, but if Curse/Forge/Twitch isn't effected by the Minecraft Forums closure then I will still hopefully be updating from time to time over there. Links on my first page here to my latest updates direct you to my CurseForge page anyway, so that will hopefully still be there.
My legal copyright licence here, that also comes with the pack, will still be in force, so if I'm not updating as often as we'd both like, it is not a signal for anyone to take over and redistribute my artwork.
Minecraft Forums was always my 'go to' place to meet with you all and to reliably find out info on Minecraft, to share ideas and be inspired. Nothing else compares.
Please keep an eye on my CurseForge page for updates. If anyone has any info about whether that place is also closing, and could let me know, I would be very grateful. My cursory glance over there couldn't find any notice about it shutting down too.
My thanks to Citric Squid and to you all for keeping this place so civilised and welcoming. I will miss not being able to post pics and videos and then getting your wonderful input by way of encouragement and ideas. Seriously, I have been very fortunate indeed to have such great support from all who have passed through.
At least I can say I was there at the beginning...and stayed standing through to the end!
Holy crap this is a big deal, the forums are closing????
Agh! I'll really miss being able to check this thread...
I'm sorry to hear about the chaos you've been dealing with. I hope things get better for you
Have you considered making a subreddit or twitter account or something after stuff cools down in your real life? It wouldn't be the same obviously but it isn't too much work, and it would let us keep up a bit more easily.
Thank you again for all your hard work on one of the oldest continually updated texture packs in the Minecraft community, it's astonishing how much dedication you've put in. Even if we can't talk with you after this closing, I want you to remember there are fans who support you and love your work
the forum's shutting down? wow, lame, even though i didn't use it to converse with other people that much this is really the only place i ever looked for new texture packs and kept up to date on the ones i really liked.
I'd also suggesting making like a twitter or something for people to follow to keep up with updates whenever you're able to work on them, if you're up to making one.
whatever happens next, this remains one of my favorite minecraft texture packs, i will continue to enjoy looking at the art you've created, and admire your dedication to continue to work on it over the years! thanks glim!

Never had anything to do with Twitter, Reddit or Facebook. Reddit kind of scares me and Tweeting stuff out scares me even more and Facebook just plain terrifies me! I'm too old-fashioned now I guess for all that, but who knows.
For now, to keep some kind of contact, it'll have to be my CurseForge page that's already listed and linked in my OP here. To be clear...the link to download the latest version of my resource pack in my OP (1st post of this thread with all the fancy graphics and intro) takes you to my CurseForge page where all the latest and old versions of my pack are currently stored. At present it's still possible to post comments there. How long CurseForge will continue is anyone's guess.
TBestIG, Rosestorm and Lizeon and so many others, thank you so much for dropping in over the years, for your kind posts of support and interest. It's great that my old pack still had some interest shown in it right to the last days of the Minecraft Forums.
PS. Oh! There's also my Youtube channel. When I have the time I always like to make a vid of any new stuff I've worked on, so you can tell if something is in the works by subscribing there. Link for that is in my OP here and over on my CurseForge page.
If the curse/forge page goes down, planetminecraft would probably be a good option.
I do have a long-standing membership there that I've never used to show off GS...just posting when some users have used my work without permission. So over the years it's come to seem like the 'enemy'. I don't really like the tone of a lot of the posts and don't like the status system. I'm a bit old for all this 'Grand Wizard' level texture artist malarkey. It's bad enough that I'm a flippin' 'Blaze Extinguisher' here!! Lol! I'm a pretty old dude now and too stuck in my ways. Look up the film 'Gran Turino' that's probably the most accurate image of me these days...without any hint of racism I hasten to add!!!
I agree though, Planet Minecraft might still be the best choice in the end if CurseForge goes down.
Legit in tears. This was like the life blood on minecraft when it first started, and it's about to go away. I can't believe this is happening. But I don't believe curseforge will shut down because that's it's got multi games including World of warcraft modding. But a discord would be amazing! Still in shock that the forums is shutting down though. <3 thanks for not leaving us and being here for us so long. This is a passion project that you shared with all of us. and a beautiful one at that. <3 Lol now I'm legit crying sitting here explaining to my friends on discord how this is and was the best place and the biggest start for minecraft back int he day to now, and how this site is like a historical landmark and how this community came together. idk maybe I'm just being emotional for no reason. but I just want to say, Thank you. Thank you for all of this,and thank you for sharing your ideas with us, your vision, and your heart. Hope you'll continue to share with us on another site and make that your home. <3 Also sorry for any typos or mistakes kinda hard when I'm crying and also trying to keep myself together while talking to friends about it that haven't been around this site or minecraft as along as I
It has been years since I last logged in, but I have been checking your builds regularly. (Just not logging in - I am not loving the Twitch these days....)
*Grabs everyone and gives them a spinning hug* EEEEEE! Yay! So glad I decided to check up on the closure again, and only good news came from it! ^^ can't wait tot ell my friends!
hi Glimmar your stuff is amazing , love the rails and flora! I change the dirt and stone to 256 , but the side_grass only show grass_block_side1 or dead pic on Optifine "fancy" grass option
, what should I do?
and some guy ask if I can share , should I recommend them to use Steampunk as the base?
I wonder if they know that it wasn’t shut down. haven’t seen from since before it was announced that the site wasn’t shutting down. Hopefully they didn’t give up or something because of this.
So... What are the chances of 1.16? It has a ton of new content from all the versions since that have insane potential for interpretation in Glimmar's style. Has anyone heard from them, or is the pack dead and done?

or you could create a Discord channel, seems like a lot of textures artists have migrated that way

Let me know where you do end up washing ashore.
The Auld Grump
Looks like they might have decided to transfer ownership of minecraftforums
https://www.minecraftforum.net/news/60728-a-new-and-exciting-beginning
It wasn't shut down! Thank goodness. Minecraft forum is such a pillar of the community honestly...
*Grabs everyone and gives them a spinning hug* EEEEEE! Yay! So glad I decided to check up on the closure again, and only good news came from it! ^^ can't wait tot ell my friends!
I really hope Glimmar is doing well. It would be incredible to see the new crafting blocks from 1.14, though obviously personal life takes priority.
It feels like there are so few texture packs nowadays, probably because the number of blocks and items in the game just keeps skyrocketing...
hi Glimmar your stuff is amazing , love the rails and flora! I change the dirt and stone to 256 , but the side_grass only show grass_block_side1 or dead pic on Optifine "fancy" grass option
, what should I do?
and some guy ask if I can share , should I recommend them to use Steampunk as the base?
I wonder if they know that it wasn’t shut down.
haven’t seen from since before it was announced that the site wasn’t shutting down. Hopefully they didn’t give up or something because of this.
Yeah, that would be horrible...
So... What are the chances of 1.16? It has a ton of new content from all the versions since that have insane potential for interpretation in Glimmar's style. Has anyone heard from them, or is the pack dead and done?
F
didnt this pack had a link for steampunk music to go with?
"vernian express" or somethin?
