Macedoncraft


















Macedoncraft is not so much ancient Makedoniacraft as it is a combination of the Hellenistic nations of around 350-250 B.C. This means that it will involve both Attic hoplite and Makedonian or Seleukid phalangite armours along with perhaps coin textures of Baktrian kings or Ptolemaic weaponry. Since I have only just begun the resource pack I haven't actually done much yet. And therefore I wanted to listen to what anyone interested in the theme of this texture pack wanted to add when it comes to ideas, suggestions, criticism etc. I'm mainly doing this because the term 'Hellenistic' was a very big one around this time. Greek colonies stretched from France in the west to Georgia in the east and Greek influence stretched even further than that, from France in the west to the Indus river in the east and from the Crimea in the north to Nubia (Sudan) in the south. So expect to see at least some influence from other cultures mixed into this resource pack.

Remember to inform of ideas and any criticism you might have!

After a long time of trying to (and failing to) increase the resolution of some of the textures, the alpha version of Macedoncraft is released! I will continue to work on this project even though I dont have alot of time nowadays...

I am, but honestly Im alot busier than I had hoped.. So progress is going VERY slowly at this point. And the bad thing is that I dont know how long this'll continue. When it does I will keep everyone updated though.

Yes, please! I'll be looking forward to the final release, but I'll be keeping up in the meantime. Nice work so far. I've really been looking for a good Macedonian or Greek texture pack. I use Romecraft, or Conquest with Origines' addons, for the most part, but while they are great there is something missing when trying to do a build.

I really like it, although there are a couple of minor details that I noticed:

First of all, the sandstone texture seems a bit out of place in some settings. For instance, in parts of the desert where it is naturally exposed or on the desert villages, the top and bottom textures do not seem to fit in very well, although they look great for a floor or ceiling.  Second, I would like to suggest that you implement one or two more types of weapon textures, so its not just 4 spears and a wooden club.  (also, perhaps the club and a couple of other wooden tools could be touched up a bit; the color looks a bit too solid and "blended" if that makes sense)

Other than that, everything I've seen looks great and I look forward to seeing what you add next.

I was already aware. I did not intend to release it this early in the first place. I also mentioned before that I like to use textures to see if they work and then replace them when I can think of better ones. The very obvious ones being the sandstone and wooden (this includes tools, planks, stairs, slabs etc) textures. I also wasn't sure about the weapons since Minecraft only has one melee weapon, the sword. And since the doru and sarissa (both of them being spears esentially) were the main weapons used by the Greeks and Makedonians, these were the weapons I used. 

Thank you for your feedback btw c:

I like how it looks so far.  I just hope that this doesn't end up dying before completion; I've been looking for a good Greek/Roman resource pack to use ever since Romecraft more or less died, and this really looks promising.  Keep up the awesome work!

Oh no, Im just thinking of releasing it once every single texture has been changed. In theory I could release an alpha version right now, but it'll look a bit odd.
