Pixel Joint Forum: BinaryCraft Minecraft Texture Pack

Message

   Hello PixelJoint! This is my first post here on the forums, so if this here noobie is getting things wrong, then don't hesitate to tell me!  

Well currently I'm working on a Minecraft texture pack, but not just any texture pack! This will be an incredibly unique (and probably eye-bleeding) one. What I will do...

Is make an entire texture pack using only THREE colors!

So just to clarify, that's two colors and transparency. I call my texture pack BinaryCraft, and when I post it to the Minecraft forums, it will have the following intro:

01010101 01110000 01100100 01100001 01110100 01100101 00100000 01100111 01110010 01100001 01110000 01101000 01101001 01100011 01110011 00100000 01100011 01100001 01110010 01100100 00100000 01100100 01110010 01101001 01110110 01100101 01110010 00100001 00100001 00100001

These random digits are the first thing you see as you burst into sudden consciousness. You have no memory of what happened a second ago. First there was nothing, then you were suddenly thrust into a chaotic world of voxels and pixels. As your visual receptors process the landscape and catalogue it in your memory, you begin to think of how odd the world seems to you. It feels like something is missing...You have the sudden thought that if perhaps you reboot and hold down Up+A it while rebooting it might fix things. You ponder this meaningless nonsense and look up at the sky, which becomes filled with ominous clouds.

To actually give you an idea of what this looks like, take a gander at the Terrain.PNG and Items.PNG right here: (Warning, the white outlines might merge with the site's white background theme if you have it set to the default. Change your site theme temporarily or download these images if you want to see them properly)

See anything I did wrong or something I could improve on at all? Don't hesitate to ask me!

	Ugh it would be so hard to constantly update it along with the mods. It's a high res pack so it's already big enough as is! I think I'll submit it, see if I can update it promptly for a while, and then start asking people about mod-compatability.

	I do not claim to do everything at once)), but these supplements are very popular and if they are be present in your texture packs it will be a big plus я не требую делать всё сразу )) но эти дополнения весьма популярны и если они будут присутствовать в твоих текстур паках то это будет большим плюсом

	Very nice! :) Never been a fan of most of the texture packs I've found for minecraft, but this one has definitely grabbed my attention. Can't wait to use it.

	Trust me, it's a texture pack mostly for kicks and giggles. It doesn't look very pretty in-game and the blocks are almost impossible to tell apart from each other when they are in your inventory (And by that I mean you can only tell the difference between say, a snow and obsidian block). I'm mostly making the texture pack as a personal challenge, and because I wanna see if I can be the first to do something like this. It's also pretty fun, because it reminds me of looking through the Minecraft forums for 8x8, 4x4, 2x2 and 1x1 texture packs. ^_^

	I think this would look very interesting in-game! Do post screen shots when it's completed!

	I tried this once but I am just not good enough at pixel art to make it look as good as you did.
