Minecraft Forums

I made a resourcepack to my liking, trying to keep a bit of the Minecraft feel to it. Hope you like it too!

Updated to work with 1.8 - 1.18.1, with some glitches the lower version you go, and probably some yet to be done textures the higher you go :p. I try to keep it backwards-compatible as much as possible though, since I love to play older versions of minecraft too!

Download latest

Including my resourcepack extensions (integrated):
-Roundtrunk
-Thick Foliage
-Buildcraft (not the mod, just texture support)
-DaVinci's vessels (not the mod, just texture support)
-Growthcraft CE (not the mod, just texture support)
-Liteloader (not the mod, just texture support)

Also: OptiFine (here) is always recommended

Pics (may be outdated) :

Installation (if you're new to resourcepacks):

It started out as a small try-out with some redstone, but I soon realised I wanted more.
There are absolutely no instructions given. Just hints every level.
By playing you learn new things.
Map consists of different "Chambers"
And a custom resourcepack will be included.
This is an updated version. The story may get longer in the future. Till now, enjoy.
It is Portal, Q.U.B.E., AntiChamber, and Community inspired.
What more to say? idk

Screencaps:

Estimated playtime: 45 minutes

Download:
v1.3 for 1.16

Please report any bugs.

Love, Xornop

Always felt like trees are too blocky? Wished for more well-rounded treetrunks? Don't want to get kicked off a server for modding the game?
Look no further!

As an extension to my own pack, I have created a resourcepack that makes sure those pesky logs are round, and look pretty in the process.

Just put this resourcepack in the resourcepacks folder, and in the game move it below any pack that you are using, and the logs will magically become more rounded!

Ask your pack creator to include a assets/minecraft/texture/roundtrunk/log_top.png for every treetype in the resourcepack for an even better look!
This should work for most versions of minecraft that support custom models, I have tested on 1.12.2 and up.

Also check out my custom pack, or my Thick Foliage Extension!

I loved this pack, so I updated it a while. Then huntingdog took over, and I kinda lost interest in the game a while, but kept updating my own pack. Glad to see ReallyLogicalBrick took over for a while too, and now luna_panshiel also has done some work. It's a great pack, and in a way its funny how it is being updated in waves.
It's been dead for awhile now. I am considering giving it another update, but on the other hand I don't have time because of uni, I barely have time to play the game.

Quote from luna_panshiel»

ok so i finally got the motivation to do some more work on this after the horror that is the json files....

introducing, greatwood WIP version 1.10 http://www.mediafire.com/download/y03j9ybvva5vl4u/Greatwood Continuation 1.10 WIP.zip

Good try, I do support this. Sad thing is, the support for random textures is gone, which was a big part of the Greatwood charm. Everything is now just one texture.

Tl;dr: I wish OP would revive the link, I would like to try updating it again some time. My old version is so out-dated that it would be a lot of work to update everything.

Are you in love with Android Lollipop? Do you like the new Material Design? Then this is the pack for you! Keep your own resourcepack, just select this pack as well, and enjoy the Material Design goodness, in your own, safe, Minecraft!

Intro



Since I am too busy trying to start up my own resourcepack, I will not be updating this pack anymore, till further notice. The new 1.8 update is bringing a lot of new stuff, (yay) but also a lot of new textures, so it may take a while. Some of the 1.8 textures I have done already, but if you want more, you can check out huntingdog's continuation, even though I'm not sure if he is actually still updating it. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/resource-packs/1245683-16x-1-7-2-v3-greatwood-continuation)
It's been a good year, thanks for the great support, that kept me going.

Did you really get permisson???

He did =)

First of all you should change the max frames to unlimited,

For more RAM you should click "Edit Profile" in the launcher -> enable "JVM arguments" (its on the bottom of the popup) -> change the "-Xmx1G" to "-Xmx2G" for 2 gb of RAM, "-Xmx3G" for 3 gb of RAM, or you can change it to "-Xmx1024M" for 1024 mb of RAM

Quote from Dylan112

If you bothered to look at the last page(s) of the original thread you'd see that the pack is being updated by huntingdog.

I used multiple search engines to try and find an updated version. And yes, I (coincidentially) stumbled upon his pack. Now, he has done good work, but the post he had was for 1.5.2, so it is not quite up to date. Thank you for being rude, but okay, I will correct it.

Oh my god. This is toughest parkour map I HAVE EVER PLAYED. AWESOME. You beat my rage quit record by 1. (3) [size=medium][b]Parkour[/b]: 10/5 OMG THIS IS THE TOUGHEST JUMPS I HAVE EVER DONE. You have done well to impress me to this extent. A big recommendation for hardcore player[/size] [b]Decoration[/b] : 4.5/5 Each place was beautifully decorated [b]Special: Brightness[/b] : 3/5 Okay I loved the wool room jumping but the jumping in the stone brick area was Seriously dark. Even at full brightness quite hard to see. [b]Fun[/b] 5/5 OMG This is the longest time I have ever took to finish parkour. Awesome Your scoring 22.5/20 OVERLOAD OVERLORD. Most difficult parkour map i have ever played. GOOD JOB. Hope for the new releases soon. LOVE this map. Recommanded for hardcore and sprinters. Diamonds for you for a creative map:D

IT WAS REALLY FUN PARKOUR! Plot: none PARKOUR!: 12/10 it was fun, simply fun, but don't over use the sprint jumps and the first level. defenately rage quiting acheived! Decoration: 11/10 storm clouds... haha!I get it! YOUR SCORE: 23/20 TO INFINITY AND BEOND! "this guy knows what parkour is all about!" keep on working on it!

In Hindsight: [spoiler]TheBlueLightningWizard decided to do an updated review of v7.1 He makes a few suggestions, a few of which were already planned/planned now.

Parkour door! fun fun fun! but use pistons for something epic! make some secret levels! make a hardcore parkour level! usage of 1.0.0: mabye ender pearls or some thing? dimension travel? mob attacks in some levels would give mo' challange! just some levels though.

Quote from Relinquo_Spes

Oi you, go and open The Parkour Door [spoiler]Visual: Todays map is georgeous, Im love the way this creator uses colours to make his map visually iteresting because it works, as I go through each area I get a feel for its theme, but rather than the usual dark and dank theme that alot of maps go for this one heads down more of a light and bubbly feel. This map isn't finished yet but if it continues down this path (and perhaps towards a setpiece?) I will not hesitate in bumping up this score. [9/10] Challenge: This is a parkour map, and as is usual for the genre this map is hard, as you spend most of your time jumping up dizzyingly high buildings, however it is kind enough to give us some checkpoints along the way, that stops the map from ever becoming impossible. If anything though, the constant need for the sprint jump feels a bit annoying and over used, making judging the gap less of a challenge and more mundane. [4/5] Length: Again this mp isn't finished... but as long as it isn't halfway done either then i think this score can tentetivly stand. The length is fairly solid, most of the maps don't over stay their welcome individually and remain fun despite you falling to yur near death for a twenty-third time [3.5/5] Puzzle Variety: You may have noticed in the last section that I said the maps didn't over stay their welcome [u]individually[/u]. By that I mean this map repeats. Yes I know it is a parkour map and so is always going to be a variety of jump from point A to point B, but really thats not my issue. The first and third puzzle you come accross is a fairly standard block to block jump but they also (together) take up about 2/3s of the play time, as such it made me really happy to see the mining and the aircraft section, that felt uniquly different to the normal parkour thing. The other aspect that failed to grab me was the minecart section, what was the point? Part of me assumes you're either going to another puzzle in there or a more amazing ride, but right now I have to assess on what I see, and this looks like a stragely out of place section. [7.5/10] Things that need Improvement: - Repetative Puzzles - Out of Place Minecart Section - Finish it Things that need No-Improvement: - The Visual Asthetic - The Different and Interesting Puzzles Final Thoughts: I would really like to see this map finished because it seems to be on the right track, there are enough original ideas here for me to say that you should all keep an eye on it and download it when it's finished, because as parkour maps go, you should have plenty of fun with this one. Percentage Score: 80%[/spoiler]

Here is my review you asked for: This is a really well made map! I've played a lot of parkour maps and I'm pretty good at those. That's why I loved this map. It was hard, so I don't recommend playing this when you're new at parkour maps. At the beginning I didn't get why those pistons on the side were there, but that's just little detail. I love maps with colorful and bright levels, so almost all the levels were very good, with many great details. The sewer level was also very good. The lighting in that level was just fine, so it gave you the reel feeling that you were in a sewer. I didn't cheat at all in this map, cause I'm just pro I can't wait till the full release comes out! I'll give this map a 16/20, because it's still a bit small. But if you keep on working I'm pretty sure the score will go higher!

Quote from GirlyTyl

I like the other guy's 1.6.2 pack a lot more than yours. Sorry, but his style is superior, especially when considering the resource blocks (iron, gold, lapis, emerald and redstone)

Here's a few things that bother me:

The 'shiny' redstone and coal look downright horrible, and the iron/gold blocks just don't seem to fit in.

The saplings are too small looking, too 'blocky,' in my opinion.

The disks have the much loved 'square' shape, but the outline around the edges seems too dark, giving them a much uglier appearance. (Compare with spawn eggs)

what a ­nice person you are..

I love this

Nice texture pack!

I cannot stop using this pack! It is great in every way! Once angin, Great job Xornop! (and lithuimsound!)

But.... can I ask something.... the zombie villager's aren't textured... I could texture it.... if you want..

but still Great "resouce" pack!

Hmm.. Looks nice! I'll try it.
