Paper Cut-Out : supports 1.5.2 and 13w19a

Paper Cut-Out  texture pack by SuperAlgae
for Minecraft 1.5.2 (plus 13w19a)



Now Available, in Paper Cut-Out style...
 - Werewolf Engineer/Miner
 - Paper Bard




Many people have made paper cut-outs that look like objects from Minecraft, but now you can reverse that and make Minecraft look like paper cut-outs! This pack uses shading to make the textures look like cut, folded, and overlapping paper. In addition to these 3D effects, the textures also have just a little papery roughness, but not so much as to be "noisy".

Most textures have been customized, and the remaining textures come from either the Minecraft defaults or from my other texture pack, BitKnit. I used BitKnit to fill in unfinished textures since it blends with the style of this pack better than the default textures. If a texture appears to be customized but still looks a little out of place, it probably came from BitKnit. I am replacing these with proper "paper" textures over time. The BitKnit texture pack can be downloaded from: www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/bitknit

..  CUSTOMIZER!  ..

 NOTE:  minecraftcustomizer.net does not currently support Minecraft 1.5, but I have updated the texture pack itself to include 1.5-compatible alternate textures. Inside the the zip file are some folders whose names start with "alt-". These can be found under the "textures/blocks" and "textures/items" folders. They contain alternate textures that you can use to replace Paper Cut-Out's default textures. For example, the folder "textures/blocks/alt-ores-square" contains the square style ores that were the default in earlier versions of Paper Cut-Out.

As I have mentioned before, the voting for icons/ores just helps me to decide what to make default and where to focus my effort. You have always been able to get the alternate textures by following the instructions for deleting/renaming files in the zip package. However, several people have asked for a way to more easily mix and match textures. To help with that, I have posted the Paper Cut-Out pack on minecraftcustomizer.net.

.. VOTE FOR TERRAIN ..

I'm trying out some new terrain textures. My first attempt was Terrain2 below. It felt a little off, so I refined it to get Terrain3, which is a balance between Terrain2 and the original Terrain1. Terrain3 keeps the grass from Terrain1 and uses a reduced-contrast version of the stone from Terrain2. In the most recent update I also changed the dirt for Terrain3 to a subtle weave pattern that's a little different from my previous update. Here's what all three look like...

Terrain 1 (click for full image)


Terrain 2 (click for full image)


Terrain 3 (click for full image)



I'm holding a vote to help decide which should be the default. Share your preference in the comments.

Since Terrain3 is currently the default, to use Terrain1, open the texture pack zip file, delete "terrain.png" and rename "terrain-smooth.png" to "terrain.png". To use Terrain2, open the texture pack zip file, delete "terrain.png" and rename "terrain-rough.png" to "terrain.png".

Note that the customizer still has just the Terrain1 textures for now.

Voting Results:  .. Terrain1: 5 votes ..  .. Terrain2: 2 votes ..  .. Terrain3: 9 votes ..
