1.2.5 - DangerCraft [v1.04]

I drew DangerCraft with Paint.NET. It is a total graphical overhaul for Minecraft, replacing each and every texture, item, mob, particle, and interface (including some elements that are not implemented in the game yet). My goal with DangerCraft was to make an almost-cell-shaded style that would try to round off a lot of the hard edges that we see in minecraft. Everything has a gridline aspect that embraces the blocky nature of the world of minecraft, but at the same time smooths and polishes the surface of every block and every item.

This pack is very polished, and there is a consistent feel throughout. Mod Support takes it even further, overhauling and enriching the entire minecraft experience.

Mine it

The Rounded yet Blocky, Gridline feel makes time spent underground (or in the Nether) a lot more enjoyable. The blocks are all smooth and substantial. As you break them, the animation begins from the outside edges and works its way in, unlike most packs out there.

Craft it

One of my goals was to make everything look like what it is made out of (for example, the small mushrooms and sapling trees look like miniature 2-Dimensional versions of their full size counterparts, and most items that are made with wood planks [doors, chests, signs] have been textured in the same pattern they are constructed with a smaller instance of the texture for wood planks).

Look inquisitively at the tools, they follow the same pattern. Each iron tool being apparently put together out of the pieces that make it up in the recipe. It's wild.

Battle a Horde

There are literally hundreds of mob variants (Balthichou's Randomobs is an absolute must to get the most out of this pack). They aren't too varied yet, mostly just different color combinations and facial expression, but in time I will add more personality to my randomobs by adding some individuality to each one. Perhaps eventually themed mob packs for DangerCraft will become manifest. Mature Minecrafters, in the future keep an eye out for a "Gore-Pack" add-on. I'll make some real zombies out of those pigmen ;) (just don't let mom catch you playing minecraft past your bedtime while blood and guts are oozing.)

Stand individual among an Army of Steves

The pack includes over two dozen unique HD textures for Steve himself, so if you see anyone who doesn't have a custom skin uploaded onto minecraft.net, or if you are playing offline, you will see an awesome and varied DangerCraft Steve instead of the normal default skin) Expect more in time; for some reason, I really like making Steves. (Also, I would like to talk to a modder about a mod that would add a toggle-able option to ignore online skins from minecraft.net and use skins from the texture pack instead, at will)

Use DangerCraft with Mods.

I have never been a fan of using mods that include new textures alongside an HD texture, because the content the mod would add ends up looking like garbage in a themed pack. However, I am at a point in my Minecraft career where certain mods have become indispensible to me, so one of my goals with this pack was to include textures for the mods I like, and for some of the most popular mods for the most current version of Minecraft.

If there are any specific mods you would love to see done for this pack, give me a nudge over on my DangerCraft Suggestions Forum on Minecraft Forums, or shoot me an email at [email protected]


Use DangerCraft on Youtube.

 Lets plays. Mod spotlights. Even just to help me show off all the little details in the massive amount of content that is DangerCraft as it grows and changes. I just want to bring more exposure to DangerCraft, and bring more exposure to the awesome mods that I decide to include textures for. If you want to help me show that off, I would be glad to be able to put some well made DangerCraft Videos embeded right here.

Just be sure to include a link back to this page so your viewers can check this pack out for themselves. Honestly, it would help me out quite a bit if some folks wanted to make some texture pack showcase videos to show off not just the core texture pack, but some of the mod support as well. Credit the Authors of any mods you showcase, and of course also include the links for those as well.

Enjoy.

Future updates to DangerCraft will include support for several more mods, more variety in randomobs variants, as well as new textures for the wall Arts. I am looking for an easy (read, less than inevitably 40+ hours of work pixel pasting) to increase the resolution. I chose 64x as my size because I consider it the best ratio of performance and quality, but I would love to make a 128x version some day. And a 256 ;). I might consider making different themed versions of DangerCraft in the future (Medieval Gothic, Space/ Interdimensional, Steampunk Pirate, Pre-historic CaveMan.) I've got just a ton of ideas for DangerCraft. Never enough time. Check back here occasionally to see whats up and coming in DangerCraft. Please, give me feedback about what you would like to see added to Dangercraft in future updates.

I will keep DangerCraft up to date for as long as minecraft holds my attention. Probably until the final version, if there ever is one.

If you are a modder or a youtuber and would like me to consider doing specific work for you in DangerCraft Compatible Artstyle, shoot me an email. It doesn't hurt to ask. I take requests, as I find time.
