1.20 - Trails & Tales
Did you know that the greatest tales of all time also feature the greatest tails of all time? It's true! Think about it. Charlotte's Web - Wilbur's tail is the best part of that tale. Lord of the Rings - Remember that part when Legolas swung around on the Oliphaunt's tail like Tarzan? OH! And let's not forget Alice in Wonderland. Remember how Alice had a tail? No? Hmmm. Must have dreamed that.
My name is Jolicoeur, so I called it Jolicraft. It's pronounced "Jolly Craft" by the way. My name means "Happy Heart", so I guess Jolicraft means "Happy Craft". So maybe I should have called it HappyCraft, because I'm generally quite happy. But I'm not always happy. Sometimes I run out of wine. Sometimes there's no hot water for my bath. Sometimes when I'm changing my son's diaper, he pees on me.Minecraft is a game about crafting the world around you. What better way to craft the world than to craft the very stuff the world is made of? I had a great time creating Jolicraft, it's so addictive to create textures and see them live in your own world. I didn't really intend to push the pack as far as I did, but damn this [profanity=""] is addictive. It's as addictive as Minecraft itself, which is saying alot.This is Minecraft people. As with life, don't take it too seriously. A good plentiful helping of Jolicraft will wash the dust away from your dreary world.
Why did you make this 16x16? Wouldn't it be awesomer if it was 32x32 or 128x128 or 1080x1080?I love 16p texture packs. It seems the perfect resolution to match the style of Minecraft. The purposefully crude low-res pixel crafting nature of the game was simply made for 16x16 textures, anything more just feels weird - like drinking red wine while eating hotdogs. Which Notch does every morning at the breakfast table. Although I'm sure one day I'll be bored and play around with a 32x32 version, just for the fun of it.Can you please add more sidegrass?Let me explain why this is almost no sidegrass on Jolicraft dirt. I like sidegrass in many texture packs. Sometimes it works and looks great for the type of grass & dirt they've created. But Jolicraft dirt is different. It's firm and scoopable. The grass is a thin layer on top of the dirt, so more sidegrass makes no sense as it either makes the grass layer feel thicker than I want or it makes the thin grass all droopy. Think of my dirt like cake with icing on top, so when you scoop through it the grass doesn't instantly hang down the side, it stays firm. And the grass overhangs just a tiny bit to cast a slight shadow down the side of the dirt. It's that crisp edge that makes Jolicraft dirt different from other dirt. It's not that I'm against sidegrass in general, just sidegrass in Jolicraft.I asked you to change a texture and you didn't. What gives?I'm sorry. You had good intentions in suggesting a change, but I didn't care for it. Don't be angry! I don't care for lots of stuff that other people like. And I care for lots of things that other folk don't like. And I'm neutral to things that many people aren't neutral to. What a world! Does that answer your question?I'm making my own pack or map, and I want to use a texture from your pack. Can I?I get lots of requests from folks asking if they can use specific textures in their packs and maps. I don't mind if you use any of my textures, help yourself and enjoy! But I just ask that if you do use something I've made that you state somewhere in your thread what you used of mine, and include a link to this thread via the Jolicraft logo (http://img607.images.../5724/sig5f.png). And I STRONGLY encourage you to not rely on anything I've made. Making a few textures doesn't take long. It's much more satisfying to create something original than to rely on someone else's creations. Wouldn't you agree?What's wrong with you?Once when I was young I pushed a toothpick into my ear and it went all the way in and didn't come out. I've not been quite right since then.
Personal remixes for your own PRIVATE use are, of course, allowed. Have fun.

I have never seen a server charge for things that clearly give another player an edge, or basic gameplay mechanics. If they did, I'd imagine players would realize how wrong this is and leave the server pretty unpopulated anyways.
So I don't see why they felt it necessary to change the EULA regarding servers in the first place. The only reason Mojang would have would be to force players who don't personally host their servers to end up using Realms, which would be a very underhanded way of getting more money.
But I digress, here are my thoughts on these revisions.
Uwotm8?
I have been on several servers and never has one charged for entry. And, to be honest, I don't see charging to enter servers ever being a thing. I'm not going to pay to play online, especially to enter a server that I haven't even gotten a chance to try. Why would I pay to enter a server that, at base level, is just like every other server?
So what exactly are "gameplay features"? Are you telling me servers aren't allowed to have donations ranks/perks? Every server I've seen that takes donations has had donation perks, so that there is an insentive to donate. And I have never seen any of these perks be something that gives another player an edge over other players.
Again, uwotm8? In-game advertising or sponsorships? How in the hell would that even work? Are you seriously telling me to add annoying advertisments to my server? How would I even have adverts in a server? That makes no sense at all.
This is about the ONLY change that makes sense in this whole mess.

That is horrible. I'm sorry but you are VERY impatient if you expect your mod to get tons of views and downloads within such a short period of time. You couldn't even wait a week to see if people liked your mod? Seriously?
I'll still download and try this mod, but if you give up after such a small amount of time, it's hard to believe you will be able to handle the stress that a mod-maker is put under.

Good lord, how ignorant are you? Not everyone who plays MC speaks English.
How would you like it if you went on a site and posted a review or something, and people who spoke Spanish told you to speak Spanish?
And the fact that you apparently don't know how to properly use English grammar makes your statement all the more ridiculous.

It's the internet. It's a trend to make fun of her.
I agree, it's not to my taste to do so. But... Well... Internet.

Actually, for the saddle bags, it has been done before, in the Chococraft mod:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1119809-125-eddievs-chococraft-1610-torojimas-official-update/
Maybe just ask Torojima how he/EddieV coded the saddlebags for the Chocobos and implement it for your dragons.

You are the greatest, Barracuda.
And I have an idea for something you might put in the mod in the future: Saddlebags.
Sort of like how Chocobos in the Chococraft mod can have saddlebags or packs to carry your stuff (basically extra storage). It's really helpful, especially when you are moving from one location to another.
