Minecraft's spritework is really fucking shitty, as a whole. Building for me has been so much more enjoyable with the new stuff. You may not like the new textures from a personal preference point of view, but I can say that from a technical pixel art point of view he has definitely "fixed" them.Īs a personal sidenote, most players I know that had a problem with them now can't go back to the original ones. I'm sure if he could make his own texture pack based on his own ideas, colors and aesthetic it would be thousand times better than the final product we are looking at in 1.14. Sure, you might be able to improve it from a technical point of view, but the final product isn't really yours -it doesn't have your artistic sensibilities and soul. It's like if someone drew something and asked you to improve it. He has to stay faithful to the original textures and color palettes while at the same time making it "better". I can tell you this with certainty, coming from someone who's done pixel art as a hobby for the past 4 years or so, his job is extremely difficult to do. (OPs post might be kind of referring to these older new textures, as many people haven't gotten to see the latest versions.)Īll in all the new textures are kind of a change in style, and when changing something as old and important in a game as popular as this backlash is kind of to be expected though, especially so when a lot of textures feel like change for the sole purpose of change to people instead of like improvements. Looking through the latest new textures they are also a lot better than the early new textures, which were super blurry and a lot less polished. Most of the new changes feel fine to me, more contrast/less detail isn't necessarily better and changes are definitely improvements in the majority of cases. The new apple also looks so spotty instead of smooth like a real apple.
Leaves, logs and planks all just look blurrier to me but this is not the case with almost all the other textures. The new texture for the side has grey spots instead of black, and the top/bottom texture has less pronounced tree rings.
Some of the new textures definitely come of as less contrast-y to me.
