Hybrid Resolution Packs Coming Soon!


Yes, this following weekend version 1.3 of Authentic Chinese we will be moving to a Hybrid resolution and possibly a first hybrid for the community.

What Does "Hybrid" Mean?


Hybrid means several resolution items are used within the same hybrid texture pack. This means your blocks can be 16x16 and your moon and sun are 256x256 or your inventory screen is a 64x64 resolution e.t.c

HD Lag?


A lot of players cant use HD texture packs due to causing graphical lag caused by their not-so state-of-the-art computer. Hybrid texture packs however have no graphical lag since the textures specific to causing that lag are kept at 16x16 resolution.

No HD Patcher!! Horray!!


Yes, that's right, a Hybrid Resolution texture pack does not need a HD patcher. Im sure some in the future will need it if they contain custom water/lava animations or HD fonts. But the point of Hybrid resolutions is the enjoyment of using HD with no worries about using a patcher and no graphical lag :D

Please, I want to hear your thoughts on this. What do you think? Will hybrid texture packs be the way of the future?

Try out a Hybrid Resolution Now!


http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/authentic-chinese/

Yes, I have produced a texture pack that uses not only HD textures but uses several resolutions at the same time.
For example your HUD toolbar is using 64x64 for the item boxes. The Item Hover is using 32x32. The Hearts, Armor, exp e.t.c are using 32x. And the item sprites are 16x16.

Are you truly the first to create/use this hybrid texture package style?

With your permission I would use this .dat file within my own texture package to create a 16x16 terrain but higher resolution for paintings and other resources. Thank you.

That would be good, specially to use things like the lava and water.

And since Notch supports the texture artists and the moders this should be in the default code of the game.

But this thing you are talking about, it's a mod?

no mod needed, no patcher required. What i'm saying is that minecraft already supports this in texture packs (with a little tweak in the texture pack files, see image above) A clean unmodded/unpatched minecraft client can already support this if you know what to do, which I found out by accident the other day.

Well hope Notch keeps on supporting the ppl who change his game, I even have a poll that I hope it gets to his ears.
