A.) The first is a video, second is a picture, hard to compare the two.
B.) The sky looks like an actual "real" sky rather than a MC sky.
C.) Your guy looks like he's lowering himself into lava rather than sitting. (If that's what you're going for, then great!)
It looks improved. Especially the sand background at least looks a lot more realistic than the stone you were using. (IMO) Edges look smoother and the lighting looks really nice. Good stuff.
As for what I said earlier, especially with regards to the moving leaves. Using a shader(s) might be a good idea for the MC game itself, to get a feel for the look of some stuff. If I remember right, I think they have moving leaves. (But it is only recommended for beast-like PC's.) Only a suggestion.
Well, let me start off by saying that I'm not expert in animation, and would probably trip over myself just trying to animate. So, mad props to doing this.
But here's my humble opinion on scenery changes.
1.) Your grass moves in the wind slightly, but your tree leaves don't.
2.) Sun looks massive.
3.) right side background there's blue like it's apart of the sky, assuming its just not rendered or whatever.
Because it's only a landscape I can't say much, but it looks believable and I could totally see a Minecraft character running through it for sure.

How long have you been playing Minecraft for: Since Alpha. Shortly after the "Friday Night Updates" stopped.
What is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft: Dig... Yeah...
How old are you: However old you want me to be... -wink- (Jk I'm 18.)
Do you have a Teamspeak account: I might, I believe so. Haven't used it in awhile...
Why do you want to join AlphaCraft: Looking for a Vanilla server to spend some of my down-time when I'm not playing Hypixel minigames and I wanna lay back with a community, build stuff, kill things, and just play survival the way it was meant to be played
Please attach photos of builds you've made on Minecraft: I have below, The shader one I made in the last 30 mintues to an hour. The notshadered I don't remember when I made that..
Do you agree to follow the rules above: I guess... Yes I agree.
Ah, well. I guess it couldn't hurt applying... Although I don't know how busy I'll become...

Why do you frown upon a Iron farm?
The forums are dead because I don't force players to post on them. I also don't have issues on my server so players have no need to post on the forums.
For me personally, I feel as though Iron farm defeats the whole purpose of the grind. To go into caves looking for just diamonds, but also iron, coal, etc. With an iron farm, as far as I understand - (I haven't seen it yet.) I can just walk on over, casually mine some iron, and walk away. No danger, no fear of lava/mobs, etc.
Yes, but I figured with 2 years behind you, your forums would be, more alive. That's not a negative, in fact - me being a forum junkie, that's kind of a good thing. I was just merely stating.
Although your forums are basically dead, I have little idea on how many people you have, it seems you've double-posted this thread because your website information portal links to a different thread, and you have an iron farm - which from the sound of it I frown upon... Alas.. I apply.
In-game Name: CaptainJax Where are you from?: United States of America (USA) Why do you prefer playing in a small community?: Smaller Community = More fun. (Usually). What is your favorite aspect of playing on a server with a vanilla-like gameplay?: I enjoy Vanilla. I don't ever get to complete a full game of vanilla because I get so attached to the cows that I've got to breed everyday & get lost in the cave that takes several hours to explore and yields barely anything. Tell us something about yourself: I'm pretty chill. (Not sure what you want here.. elaborate on something?) Why should we accept you?: I'd be a solid member of the community that you're trying to build. I say solid, as in sturdy, not great. I don't create fantastic structures, I don't use redstone, I (usually) don't participate in chat. But I do obey rules, am generally friendly to all, and I do have a sense of humor. Did you read the rules?: I have. I don't think "disallowed" should of been used. Awkward to say. & You didn't put a like "secret password" in the rules, honors system eh?

Alrighty. Thanks.
I'll follow this post for now, check-back in and probably apply when there's a website and more concrete information.
0
Is there a website...?
Is there any sort of application format, or do you just want a resume sent?
0
Is there any way I could get on the server first to experience it first prior to me applying?
I'd rather not apply to a server I know very little about..
