Making new textures for Chipped

[woeful bear]

Concrete

[novel talon]

the 1000th comment in this thread

i must make a concrete block for every set with sand now

[novel talon]

was starting to work on the blocks that were bordered, and i had to change one of Qzimyion's blocks a bit more

the border of Chiseled Tuff aligns perfectly with the border for Chiseled Tuff Bricks

for Qzimyion's calcite blocks however, it does not

this would already be mildly annoying on it's own, but several tuff blocks i designed use an identical border to Chiseled Tuff. the incorrectly aligned border on calcite however would mean similar designs wouldn't fit like the designs on tuff blocks did

so i redesigned the border, to be more in line with how mojang designs tuff (though the border isn't a copy and paste like tuff, i did want some of the original design to show)

In other words, redesigned the Chiseled Calcite block to connect much more smoothly with the Chiseled Calcite Bricks block, because most of the set will borrow part of both blocks' designs, and i want them to connect properly.

[novel talon]

went back to this block after the checkered tiles

it's certainly an improvement

[novel talon]

ok so

i have not been happy with a few of these textures

like

at all

gonna really try and lock in today though

For now though, I will only focus on making new textures

[novel talon]

i was originally like, confused about what i'd do for the single blocks, but i'd rather figure that out, and have it look distinct from tuff

[novel talon]

one more mistake

i gotta make the borders a bit thicker

[novel talon]

fixed it a tiny bit

[novel talon]

not sure how to feel about this one tbh

[novel talon]

imma let these be for now, but i may revist them later

[novel talon]

i know i said i'd wait a bit, but it was bugging me too much lol

much happier witht he newer one

[novel talon]

the current pillar line up

much better now, at the very least

I can actually say the quality of the two sets is comparable now

[novel talon]

also made the outline for these blocks darker

[novel talon]

slightly cleaned up this texture, cause i'm going to be working on the ctms soon

[split pivot]

Why isn't the lattice properly latticed ? 🤨

[novel talon]

what do you mean?

[split pivot]

Half the gray lines are constantly on top instead of alterning up & down

[novel talon]

Oh

Well that's how I made the original, and I've just recolored it whenever I've reused this texture

Actually I see what's wrong, I can try and fix it later today

I remember it was originally me being new, and not properly counting where the lattices would loop on the texture that made me make it like that

[novel talon]

wait..

i messed up still lol

there lol

[novel talon]

the base for the face tiles for this set

[novel talon]

If you know, you know

[split pivot]

Aaah... bliss

[novel talon]

Real

[novel talon]

my friend made this one, basing it off of Terraria textures

i took it and did this

[novel talon]

thinking about making borders for most deepslate blocks slightly darker

[novel talon]

gonna competely redo a couple of my deepslate textures

i feel like i could make them stand out more

I can always add the one's I'm replacing to the mod later, cause it's not like i hate them, i just would like a little more visual consistency in the set

[novel talon]

not sure if i like this tbh, so i'll keep at it

[split pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-its-all-coming-together-gif-15058130

[split pivot]

Wait, why are SOME tuff bricks square ?

[novel talon]

Oh, in the mod I made an extra block that's just a single square

I intend to do that for Calcite too btw

[split pivot]

Is that randomised ? Or patterned ?

[novel talon]

The tiles are randomized

I made 4 unique tiles iirc

[split pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/may-i-see-it-chalmers-gif-18367950853266778478

[novel talon]

Lol

[split pivot]

I thought that was its own block ! Like, the top of a collumn !

[split pivot]

4, as in...?

[novel talon]

like the texture is randomized between 4 slightly different looking tiles

[split pivot]

Does that make 2 ? Normal brick and square?

[novel talon]

thought that looked better than just one static texture

[split pivot]

Ooooh yeah you have to look closely

I thought you meant you had 2 OTHER patterns, like 3 block-long bricks or 1½

[novel talon]

these would be all my "Massive" tuff blocks

[split pivot]

Like something like this, I mean

Where you'd have a 3 block-long brick, and another version where the "middle" block texture has a seam in the middle (rather than on the side) so you end up with two 1½ bricks

[novel talon]

oooh

[split pivot]

Just as a suggestion, I mean. Not telling you what to do. You already do so much !

[novel talon]

well, i did have a plan to add an extra add on mod for chipped that was JUST bricks

[split pivot]

Massive bricks are fun 😆😆

My favorite part of Chipped and Re-Chiselled

[novel talon]

cracked variants, mossy variants, variants with randomized brick sizes, etc etc. and that could extend to these massive bricks as well

[split pivot]

And is there some code in it that knows which texture to use in adjacence to which ? Like, how does it know to out two 1-block bricks next to one aother rather than a 1-block on one end and the left half of a 2-block on the other, that doesn't connect ?

Or are those actual separate blocks

[novel talon]

oh idea

i could do a horizontal ctm

and make it so you can make a massive brick any size you want

I've started messing with horizontal and vertical ctms recently with my deepslate blocks lol

it wouldn't be perfect, but it would let you wrap that massive brick texture seamlessly around an entire wall or building if you choose

[split pivot]

Okay but the question is : who would actually use it ? Don't get me wrong the idea is cool but 4×8 bricks seem like overkill... 😵

Just, balance out the supply (ammount of time you're willing to spend making that) and demand (how many people would benefit from it)

[novel talon]

true

I'll think about it more when i get closer to it

that's also why i think this would be an extra add on, because I would imagine some people would love a bunch of little brick variants, but some people just want the texture pack with the few left over blocks i also made

[novel talon]

Also, I would have to see how this would work, this sounds like something CJ would primarily have to help with, cause I'm bad with code

I could do massive tiles, and 3 block long bricks, but past that, like you said, I'm unsure how much people would use them.

one more calcite/tuff comparison for the texture pack

[novel talon]

i don't think i wanna design another face tile, so i got one block i could replace with basically anything

[split pivot]

What's that ?

[novel talon]

Spiraled Deepslate

[novel talon]

ended up using the last face tile for this instead

made it brighter so it merges with the tiny bricks well

[novel talon]

starting the modded blocks now

[novel talon]

unsure how to feel here, but i think it's better

[novel talon]

https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/samuels-re-chipped

v0.2 is out!

now you guys can use those calcite and deepslate textures for yourself

[novel talon]

damnit

the localization isn't working 😭

well, the textures work at the very least, i'll fix the localization tomorrow

[woeful bear]

When did chipped add spiraled blocks?

[novel talon]

Oh they've always been there

The default texture is from MC Dungeons, which is actually true for most of those stone textures

[novel talon]

also, fixed the block names, they appear correctly now

[novel talon]

Deepslate modded block time

was gonna have a worn out variant like Rechiseled, but opted for a flipped version instead cause

choose your own floor pattern

[novel talon]

the left one is mine

tried to have it match cobbled deepslate more closely

[novel talon]

this one is just the center texture for the cobbled deepslate tiles block from Rechiseled

but i felt like it was a fitting replacement

[novel talon]

I'm cooking

[split pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-neutron-jimmy-neutron-scream-meme-funny-gif-798080602141879820

[novel talon]

what happened

[novel talon]

Also

Commissioning an art for a few Polished blocks and Bricks

Tried picking some niche blocks I don't really have an idea for yet

Oh and a few Ruby blocks, causey mod includes Rubies

[novel talon]

Commissioned these for the pack

I asked them if I could use their work, because it's ✨amazing✨ but they said it's up to the client.

But then their comms were like, three bucks a sprite, so I figured I'd buy textures for some sets I wasn't really sure what to do with yet.

Thankfully this did give me some ideas of my own, so it was pretty worth it imo

[novel talon]

and that's all the deepslate blocks

so now, i move on to ice next

[novel talon]

Calling the tiles "Blue Ice Cubes" and i cannot be swayed

[novel talon]

looking at blue ice

the artist accidentally showed the texture map from Dungeons they used for the Runic Ice Block

MC Dungeons has a few variants of that block they use, and you can see them all on that particular block

gonna make the new texture base off one of those variants i think

[woeful bear]

Finally

The cobble variant texture does not look ugly

It finally looks good

[novel talon]

REAL

[novel talon]

I'm thinking I'll change these

But unsure

I want a kind of melted look to it

[split pivot]

Nothing, just thought it looked awesome
(You have to picture the .GIF with the Gangster's Paradise choir 🤣🤣)

[split pivot]

And who made these ?

[split pivot]

Remind me again the definition of rOUNDED

[split pivot]

Based on the snow golem face ? Now THAT'S a reference !

[novel talon]

I knowww, but it's a polished block now because chipped doesn't have a single polished block texture

[novel talon]

You like them? Cause I was debating putting the faces on a different looking block. Like I'd keep the blank one, cause I like the shape, just use something else for the faces

[novel talon]

https://fxtwitter.com/_Jamies_Jam?t=KoVtxKVa6Md4BI8yuzz_9g&s=09

[novel talon]

tbh i was worried how i'd make snow stand out, but still be obviously snow

think i did a good job, adding more colors to it. making it stand out

and ice and packed ice are identical in vanilla, so i'll only be showing these three

also the before and after for snow is gonna be funny, cause for 90% of them, you won't have any idea what the "before" actually is supposed to be lol

[novel talon]

gonna make the spiral and pillar have a ctm similar to deepslate, they'll connect vertically, but if they can't. they'll conect horizontally

[novel talon]

or i reckon one of the blocks will be a horizontal version of this

the spiral block will have a ctm though

[novel talon]

gonna change the face tiles to feature a different block

[novel talon]

also, i see the three other inlayed blocks as a wild card block

cause i ain't making three versions of a square lol

[novel talon]

might make this one of the pillar textures, uncertain atm

[novel talon]

wanted to make the bordering a bit cleaner

[novel talon]

so intersting thing about this texture

this proves a few things

one, the stone textures for chipped are from MC Dungeons, cause this is straight up a texture map someone forgot to crop

two, that means these recolors were done manually. which is especially frustrating cause Chipped's original texture work is actually good - but they got lazzy for the stone textures in particular, and decide to take the long way of doing it.

also three, my version ended up being the alternate texture on the map, but slightly redesigned to fit Blue Ice better

[woeful bear]

Why on earth does chipped have sad ice

😭

Also amazing work

[novel talon]

Thanks!

[novel talon]

Most likely no textures today, or at least, very late if I do

[split pivot]

Melting snowman

[split pivot]

Man, all these textures are... cool

[novel talon]

REAL

[novel talon]

Interesting development

Instead of making an ungodly amount of modded blocks

I'm gonna make a texture pack for EveryCompat as well, concerning whatever it adds to Chipped

MUCH less work for me, and I reckon most players use that mod anyways

Well, much less coding in particular, which is what I loathe

This means Twilight Forest, Biomes O Plenty, and Create will have support in the texture pack, not the mod. Which is significant because that's several hundred blocks I don't have to make, and it's just a light texture pack for you guys

[novel talon]

kinda stumped on the last few ice blocks tbh

[novel talon]

when you make a texture that sucks, but just have a feeling a small adjustment would make it work, it really sucks

but when you finally figure out how to make it look good, it's like crack

i'm liking the new one much better

[novel talon]

ok i found something bizarre

i originally lined up chipped blocks in a test world based off of if the also had rechiseled support, to see which rechiseled blocks i'd use/redesign

was looking at a few blocks not in that line up

for some reason

there was an attempt to make Packed Mud specifically unique from the stone/dirt type blocks

I reckon i'll still give it a once over, but like, the blocks aren't just a lazy recolor, only for that set

[novel talon]

was thinking about the EveryCompat portion of the textures

most excited for Create tbh

got a spark of inspiration too

the mineral stones from create all have a "Cut" and "Polished Cut" variant, but no polished variant in the traditional minecraft sense

was thinking i'd design the new textures based around the idea of a true polished block

Kind of stuck on Crimsite and Orchium, the red and yellowish-beige stones respectively

But for Veridium and Asurine, the green and blue stones, I was thinking Malachite and Sodalite. Both have a distinct marbling, and those minerals actually look like the Create blocks kind of - it wouldn't shock me if that was their intention in the first place when designing them, since Veridium and Malachite at least are both derived from copper.

[novel talon]

Was thinking about redoing the tiny Tuff and Calcite bricks

[novel talon]

I shall address this after the Christmas update though

[split pivot]

BIG BRICKS 🧱

[novel talon]

YEAH

[novel talon]

so i gotta split the christmas update in two

hopefully CJ actually uploads BlockVault by christmas so i can have that part of the update out as well

but imma do Packed Ice, Blue Ice, and Snow for the texture pack. Then at least Candy Cane and Gingerbread for BlockVault

and that'll be before Christmas hopefully

then afterwards I'll work on the other Create Confectionary sets, Ice, and a couple of my own custom blocks after

[novel talon]

Gonna have to call off the Christmas update

PC issues

Which I was able to figure out what needs to be fixed on it, but it just isn't happening any time soon

Will still make the next update Ice though

[woeful bear]

All good champ

You did great

[split pivot]

Iii'm mister whiiite christmas

I'm high on crack

[novel talon]

So true

[novel talon]

Thanks!

CJ was indecisive about uploading the mod anyways, so that's a lot of stress off my back having to make sure it's out ASAP

I think I'm just going to put off all things outside the texture pack for the time being.

So that means

Ice and Snow will be next

Then cleaning up some Tuff and Calcite textures

Then I was gonna get every Brick and Polished block out of the way after that

And from there, I wanted to work on Obsidian and Dripstone. Wanted these two blocks to be designed similarly to Tuff and Calcite

[novel talon]

ok, finally got my PC back

still maight take a few days to actually get back to work though

[woeful bear]

All good mate

Take as much time as you need

[vapid void]

hi there, wondering if you are interested in making PBR?
it is not hard to study, and I did made 2 python scripts to make it much easier
im currently making PBR for chisel reborn instead of chipped

i can share my palette

it is the sample visual effect i have achieved so far

i believe it would be better with your texture

[novel talon]

that would look really good

though atm, i'm focused on getting the base textures out first

but i will say i would consider making a version of my pack that supports that once it's done

[vapid void]

sure, i can collab with the pbr texture once you decide to make that

[novel talon]

Ok!

[novel talon]

Gonna finally update you guys soonish

just double checking a few things

got a couple of annoying ctms done for ice and snow

What was annoying btw, was i had to make a couple optifine formats, because these shared common textures i didn't want them to. That and my WIP folder was a little disorganized, cause my PC broke down halfway through these textures 💀

[vapid void]

hi Samuel, are you redrawing all of them or just some part of whole the chipped

i can see you have done ice, snow, some stones and prismarine

uncertain about planks, metals, gems etc

[novel talon]

I intend to do metal and gem blocks as well. I intend to redraw most of Chipped, block wise.

I'm unsure if I'll do planks or logs. I would prefer to find a texture pack for vanilla wood that looks good first, to base my redesigns off of. So for now, no.

Blocks I will never do are Wool and Glazed Terracotta. Wool, because I think those textures are already acceptable, and Glazed Terracotta because I would point people to Reglazed Terracotta - that texture pack is very good, and you can make it work for 1.21 by changing the mcmeta file (I'll have an official 1.21 for Rechipped at least, don't worry)

Additionally, I intend to eventually cover EveryCompat, every version of it.

So the texture pack will eventually cover mods like Create, or Twilight Forest. BUT that is after 1.0 releases, and vanilla Chipped is finished

[vapid void]

will you rename the files or change the file structure?

thats (making textures, not edit the structure) pretty inspiring, i rarely see someone make remasterd textures for mods

[novel talon]

Thank you! I got inspired by all the other mods that add blocks out there. I originally started making this for an SMP I have, because my friends wanted a lighter pack, but I love all the options these kinds of mods bring. So it's a way to have hundreds of unique blocks, but still only one mod. Plus this makes most blocks have a purpose now lol

[vapid void]

i personally hand drawn the pbr for gregtech modern before

[novel talon]

I don't think so. I know internally it's called "RehauledChipped", but CJ would prefer the structure stay the same for our future projects that use Chipped and my pack, and it's close enough to the final name at any rate.

[vapid void]

thanks, i think i may start with the wool soon

[novel talon]

Nice!

I forgot if I said it here

But after I push the Packed Ice, Blue Ice, and Snow textures, I want to clean up some Tuff, Calcite, and Deepslate textures.

I think I'm happy with Prismarine, but I'll have to double check tomorrow.

[vapid void]

do you have a github or something

[novel talon]

But let me know how your work goes in the meantime!

[novel talon]

I don't atm

[vapid void]

thx

[novel talon]

I'll have to talk to CJ about that

[vapid void]

would CJ merge your texture to main or just as a separate pack?

[novel talon]

Separate

[vapid void]

seems fine

[novel talon]

Oh shoot yeah

The only thing that might be annoying for your work

Glazed Terracotta

Cause I just use a different texture pack for that

[vapid void]

thats fine? as long as they don't overlap eachother

[novel talon]

They don't

[vapid void]

then thats fine?

https://legacy.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/gt-pbr

this is the one i drawn before

focus on metal

[vapid void]

would you like POM effect for wool?

like this

though i dont recommend that

@novel talon a short question, how do you make the texture pack to work? I unzip the chipped trying to use it as a texture pack for editing, but it seems the folder could not be recognized by the game

it usually works but here it doesnt work

i dont know how do you make it works

nvm

just miss a pack.mcmeta

[vapid void]

wools almost done

except ctm

maybe tomorrow

[novel talon]

I use programs like 7zip

It lets you look at each jar and zip without unpacking anything

Also be sure Chipped is untouched, the texture pack should be a complete separate file in your "resourcepack" folder. You can copy and paste, but the original should be untouched

[novel talon]

@drowsy slate what are your thoughts on this?

[drowsy slate]

hmmm.... is this basically for shaders?

I'm unfamiliar with the format but I could learn it and we could potentially adapt it if Samuel's willing to learn how to do it

[novel talon]

Oh and another thing

For Rechipped, I can leave the file unzipped, but for our mod, for some reason I have to rezip the files for the textures to show

[drowsy slate]

conflicts with Athena or the Modpack setup usually

[novel talon]

They were willing to help us do it btw, they'd just like to know how we want it to look

[drowsy slate]

I don't have a problem with the idea

I personally won't be able to use this so I don't have a preference on how they look sadly

I'll leave this opinion up to you

for once whatever you say goes in this case

[novel talon]

Ok!

I know a couple of people in our SMP use shaders, so they'd actually get use out of it

[novel talon]

I like this, but what other ideas did you have?

[vapid void]

chipped is untouched,this is how it looks like, add a _n and _s png

[vapid void]

i wrote a fundamental tutorial of these textures before

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jb1Ipnbs57WEDnKVGu4viANSA6XNZj7vvQ-ATpCVgJs/edit?tab=t.0

[vapid void]

not really, these can hardly be presented on 16x

[vapid void]

besides there are some issue with the yellow harshe quilted wool

the pattern is wrong

here in the ctm folder

this is in black wool folder

there should be 4 png

but in yellow wool there is only 1

[vapid void]

@novel talon are you going to redraw terracotta? i remember you said you wont draw glazed terracotta

[vapid void]

i pretty like this, from another texturepack

[novel talon]

I believe i will redraw terracotta yes

[vapid void]

do you have any idea about the wool

should i ping someone?

[novel talon]

I am unsure what to do with the wool

[vapid void]

do you have a method to recolor the wool with other colors to fix this?

like the white wool

[vapid void]

nvm i just repaint it

looks fine?

[vapid void]

i believe this is a code error

i tried to edit the blockstates in the texturepack but just partially fix the issue

[fathom owl]

why is he there

[novel talon]

Funny

[novel talon]

I'm unsure what's causing this

What version are you using?

I'm using 1.20

Which shouldn't matter for the texture pack, but maybe there's a bug for later versions of Chipped?

[vapid void]

im doing 1.21

there are issues with the blockstate file, though i edit the file in texturepack

it still doesnt fix the problem

not sure where to report the issue

[novel talon]

I would recommend asking the Chipped team themselves

[vapid void]

ok

[novel talon]

I think I shall

Revisit this pack at the end of the month again

Gotta at least finish what I currently got, and polish those Tuff and Calcite textures like I said I would

As far as after that, I'll think about what to do next after all that's finished

[dapper geyser]

is there a way to download this?

[novel talon]

Yeah!

https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/samuels-re-chipped

If you can't run Continuity in your mod pack, anything that renders the optifine texture format works

I just put down Continuity because that is my personal choice

[novel talon]

Welp

Kinda annoyed rn

Idk what to do with this project now

I had the creator himself say this was a neat idea, only to find out out of nowhere they were texturing Chipped themselves

I might still try and finish it, since I've put money down on some of these textures

[split pivot]

Yeah, I gotta admit it's uncool of them to pull the rug from under you

Going "good idea" while thining "VERY good, in fact... VERY good... TOO good..."

[novel talon]

Yeah...

I think I will finish what I have currently in progress at the very least though

which are those ice and snow textures, as well as the textures related to the ones i commissioned, and polihing some older textures

I did consider extending it to EveryCompat, which would mean it would do something Chipped can't, which is include mods like Create or Twilight Forest.

So maybe there's a future for this pack that works even with the updated textures, I don't know

[rare crater]

I'm sorry if it came off that way. We have wanted to do something like this for a while, but the overhaul being done to chipped is more than a texture overhaul. We're essentially remaking the mod, with not just new textures but new palettes entirely.

Chipped 5.0 will only launch for Minecraft 26.1, so your resource pack can still function on 1.21 and older. In addition, our code for Chipped is MIT, so if you want to fork Chipped and upload your own fork of it with your textures, thatd be kosher and would be really cool to see!

actually

We're uploading all of Chipped as it used to stand as "Chipped Legacy"

We were planning on discontinuing it after we were done with 5.0, but if you want to continue it on afterwards I might be open to it!

like a "Roots Classic" and "Roots 3" situation. Maybe we'll launch it as Chipped Classic instead

[novel talon]

It would be nice to have a Chipped Classic instead of deprecating it after a certain update. There are also mods like EveryCompat that rely on the current version.

But yes, if there is a bigger reason behind it, I understand. It was just a little jarring because it did not sound like this was being considered at the time I was only considering making a texture pack.

[rare crater]

well mods like Every Compat will just need to eventually support the mainline Chipped version, as that is where we will move the bulk of our support to
