Minecraft is going to have a complete overhaul on textures a

>>384432240
ehh...

>>384432240

why are the official minecraft developers so lazy? they hardly put any worthwhile shit or updates in their games, meanwhile modders do far far more with far less money and resources

>>384432318
they're releasing the new textures as a texture pack first and will listen to community feedback until they get the textures fixed up and improved before implementing them into vanilla

Looks like they're just making things all blurry and out of focus.

>>384432827
these textures aren't final keep that in mind

Literally doesn't matter at all. You could do this with a texture pack. Anyone bored and with gimp and 10 minutes could make these changes on.
Mojang needs to fuck off with their texturepack updates and actually add reasons to play the game. They are just polishing a turd right now instead of making that turd into fertilizer to grow something better.

>>384432240
Should have happened years ago, the game's been making billions and the art still looks like Notch just threw it together in two minutes in mspaint

Also why link the tweets instead of the imgur posts

>>384432240
Almost no difference, why cant those faggots do any worthwile additions to the game? All my friends used to play on texture packs anyway.
You can barely see the difference on them, and there is no difference between iron blocks.

Sadly, this.
Ensuring job security for his codemonkey friends was the worse thing notch could have done when selling minecraft.

It's not likely, but microsoft COULD have potentially replaced them with somewhat competent individuals.

That microscopic chance is better than the 0% chance of anyone currently at mojang figuring out what they are doing.

Why can't they just add some new features? These last few updates have just been new cosmetic blocks, dungeons/structures you'll never see in a casual playthrough, and biome-specific mobs.

Why even bother playing past beta 1.8.3

What's worse is
>dungeons/structures you'll never see in a casual playthrough
Dungeons with literally only 1 new unique item, that is pretty useless on anything but 0 death runs (you are still fucked if you fall in lava and it "kills" you or something)

And the biome mobs are trashy useless parrots.
At least they added some interesting combat mobs.
Oh, but they only spawn in the super rare useless dungeon with 1 unique peice of loot that's also useless, so you might see like 5 of them ever.

It literally looks like they just put vaseline on the textures

If only the complete overhaul was to transfer it from Javascript to a human code

>>384433504
To be honest, that's how it's should be. Having too many options or if you're overwhelmed by the amout of information the game becomes unfun. When there are small points of interest all over the world, exploration becomes even more interesting.

They should just make it all cel-shaded and pretty with shadows and stuff. Like how the promo art looks. Keep the usual textures.

oh

>>384434494
The game already uses OpenGL, but I'm assuming you want it to be rewritten with C. There's some very similar open source projects that are essentially that.
Minecraft itself is owned by Microsoft now, who are re-writing the game with C# and D3D12 as a Windows 10 exclusive.

>>384434494
Java version of the game is already the old version.

>>384433908
Minecraft doesn't even come close to overwhelming though.
The only combat and reward dungeons the game has are the woodland mansions (which tend to be 20k blocks apart), strongholds (of which there are 3 in a world and aren't really exciting or challenging, and the game guides you to the end of them when you look for them anyway, leading to a boss fight), prismarine temples (which I think are honestly pretty nice), and end cities (also nice, and with the single best peice of loot in the game, the elytra), and nether fortresses (these at least have specialized loot and lead to a boss fight)

So you have 5 actual dungeons, which vary in quality. And then you have a few lootbox dungeons (underground dungeons, igloos, desert temples, mineshafts, ect)

Minecraft's size is huge. You can have more terrain in minecraft than any mmo. But it only has these weak offerings for exploration? Not to mention, the biomes are super samey. you see one plain, you've seen them all.

Those new textures look fucking horrible. Just the level of general incompetence it takes to think these are remotely good. Of course these fuckers managed to chase Notch away, so that should speak to how much of insufferable fuck ups they are.

Imagine knowing you have job security because some fat twitter-sperg included in his contract to keep you employed.

You can't make fertilizer out of snake shit

>blurred textures = better

sure i guess it looks smoother but that's not the game's aesthetic, if you're going to keep using 16x16 textures for the blocks just stick with the crisp look, it's iconic at this point as well

It looks basically the same. Not sure if it's better or worse. Who cares?

>>384432240
eh

It might be nice if they make scaled versions and tie a graphical option to higher resolution versions of the new textures. Most "hi-res" texture packs (anything above 64, at least) are absolute garbage.

The dark lenticels are in the same place, but the rest of it is a lot softer, taking out those solid few pixels that run down the middle of each side. What those things really need are some multiple textures to break up that identical tiling.

Way overdue. Notch hired artists on two separate occasions to make the game not look like shit. The first one made some animu designs that were far better than what we got. The second one was a competent pixel artist, but Notch decided to have him work on another game which got cancelled, while they eventually gave the exuse that the artsyle was too "iconic" to replace. My ass, it looks like shit made by someone with zero art skills, because that's what it is.

>>384443826

The reason textures look blurrier is than they are changing the COLOR TONES used. Normally you get great contrast using 3 to 7 colors to paint, but now its like 9 or more and everything is smooth looking without defined shapes that contract brings.

Actually why though. There are hundreds of texture packs already. Think of a theme and I promise you there is a texture pack for it.

Honestly Minecraft is the best thing to examine if you want a perfect case study in what it's like to be a high functioning retard

>Minecraft, a game specifically made to capitalize on the fun of collecting blocks and building them into things you can walk around in
>Should we add new environments, update our shaders, maybe rewrite the game with our new billions of dollars or make the game look better so as to facilitate the base appeal of the game which is building?
>No, here's a hunger update no one wanted
>No, here's an rpg update no one wanted
>No, here's random things to explore that no one wanted
>Mods are adding unique features and people are asking for modding support
>No, we'll shamelessly and blatantly steal mod ideas that we like and make money off it
>Release nonsense useless updates that add nothing just frequently enough to break all the current popular mods out of spite
>Sure no more magic, but now you have cocoa beans :^JJJJ
>Abused and neglected community is sick and tired of absolute garbage coming from minecraft
>Entire subculture develops around modding in game features, monsters, crafting ideas, machines, actual exploration options with user made resource packs, 3 dimensional sound mods and shader packs, basically rebuilding minecraft from the ground up into something worth playing
>Devs respond with "Guys look, new brick textures!"

Honestly, Minecraft as a platform had so much potential but it foreshadowed every game that would be released in the genre it created: Lots of potential, never realized, thanks for the money goyim. I'd be sadder if mods for this game weren't so great.

>>384448891
True, the game felt like it was going somewhere in alpha, around 2010. Legitimately went to shit after that.

shitty 1.7.3 BETA minecraft server up

Here's a link to a cracked ver you can use for it:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:dc07ec1f2afeb2f920063ae9588b201193d8e803&dn=Minecraft%201.7.9.exe&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3a6969%2fannounce

You gotta change the version to beta 1.7.3 on the launcher after installing, to do this you need to just edit your profile to enable you to select alpha/beta versions and select the 1.7.3 BETA specifically, not 1.7.3 official version.

server address is badserv dot crabdance.com
port is 25565, but I don't think you need to put that in.

This is such a fucking-nothing change that I cannot even fathom why people could even theoretically give a shit.

>>384433352

>>384451112
Pixel art was never meant to pronounce the pixellization, you fucking retard. The less the player is reminded that there are in fact pixels, the better. The reason why these monkeys use "pixel art" is because they are too lazy and inept to make good art at high resolutions.

>>384448891
I always got the feeling that they wanted to really flesh out Minecraft, but were afraid of alienating the fanbase too much from the people who just want to build to the people who use mods to get everything they want in the game. So they end up with all these half baked an poorly implemented features instead of things that everyone could agree the game needs more of. Like fucking furniture. Does the game have real furniture yet? That should be one of the top things they should add to the game.

>>384432702
Even if there isn't a legit in-game option, there will definitely a resource pack first day.

>>384435819
Minecraft has a very specific style to it, that has been established for 7 years. It may not be up your tastes or initial hopes of Notch, but it's an iconic look that they should and won't replace under any circumstances. There are tons of "realistic" texture packs coupled with variety of shaders you can use, most of them look like garbage though. I'm not defending the laziness of MC dev team, but holy shit, if people still legit complaining about minecraft art style after all these years they might have autism.

The whole texture pack, especially if it is just reshading the textures is no work at all.

>>384432240
oh yes, this is what we needed
not fixes to the abysmal hunger system

no, what we needed was slightly better default textures, in a game where it is incredibly easy to replace the default textures

you can't deliver such a drastic aesthetic change to a much beloved game - the fans would go apeshit (also, that won't do any good if textures would be too crisp for such low-poly models)

>>384458874
They can roll it as an optional texture pack bundled with vanilla one. Hell, you can even go one step further and make it default one and reserve the other one as "classic look"

>>384459012
you can already do that by just downloading a texture pack, what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>384459109
They are the ones making changes nobody asked them to. Most of the texture packs are garbage anyway, so I should expect something better out of fucking Microsoft. The bottom line is the texture "fixes" look like shit, it's not like people don't play Minecraft because of the looks. Hell, Minecraft got a lot of attention back in the day from normies just because it looks like shit, in a charming way.

>>384448891
Notch got bored of Minecraft by early beta but still had a fuckton of unfulfilled promises from back when he was still invested in the game's development encouraging him to carry on. The rest of beta was him trying to keep himself entertained by funneling random ideas that belonged in other games into Minecraft until it was finished. He was competent, but lacked focus.
But eventually he just couldn't do it anymore and so he handed the project over to Mojang with the vain hope that they'd be able to "finish" the game, despite the fact that nobody could agree on what the "finished" game was supposed to look like anymore. Mojang turned out to be both incompetent and creatively bankrupt, and spent the remainder of Minecraft's development arbitrarily adding random shit with no goal in sight, negatively affecting the game's performance, and frequently being a nuisance to modders.

Moral of the story: if you ever find yourself in a position like Notch's, know your limits before you promise anything.

>>384451469

Just make Minecraft 2 already, the first one is literally a non-game that relies 100% on mods.

Its already at that point with 1.12, They ran out of block ids and are now resorting to calling a texture-pack content.

>>384432240
if they want to overhaul the textures, why don't they just increase vanilla texture resolution

Great i hated being able to count the bricks on the wall, I really needed my eyes to dilate every-time i looked at brick,

Microsoft needs to kill off Mojang already and leave the java minecraft alone to the modders.

Notch has so much more talent than the current Minecraft devs. I don't think I've agreed with a single change they've made to the game and that includes the pointless technical changes they made to the code behind the scenes. Oh well it'll all be ruined by Microsoft once the UWP version is mainline anyway.

>literally who
I wish people weren't so new.

1.13 will focus on supposed bugfixes and technical stuff, which will probably make it the worst update in terms of added content. Best case scenario, they make it so mods can be easily backported or updated.

>1.13 will focus on supposed bugfixes and technical stuff

This means that it will take years before anyone bothers making mods for it.

This actually looks much better.

I don't really care because resource packs exist that can let me switch between the two anyway
>>384432462
Because they know that no matter what they do with the game the dumb fanbase will be satisfied
It's literally all laziness
java is a shit engine too and is hard to work with, so i wouldn't put 100% of the blame on them. like, 90% at most

>a 60 million block2 area (if you don't count the "farlands")
why a map this fucking big?
can't they make it smaller like 100 000 block2?

>>384482483

>>384482483

>all minecraft needs is some shadows and proper shaders to make it not look liek shit
>lol no, lets change textures a bit instead
fuck me, im not saying they should implement a pbr renderer into it (but it would be much more impactful that reding all textures from scratch at 10 higher resolution), but at lest some basic shit like proper glow or real shadows and volumetric fog would make a complete difference in how it reads visually

white people baka lmao

Don't tell me the right one will be the new texture. It looks like resized blurry thumbnail.
I play mainly modded so it won't affect me but Jesus they just can't keep fucking the game up. They add a great thing and then fuck it 20 other things up.
