hi everyone
Nature X v9.0 will be released today. it restores the support of ctm, which means many exciting features that couldn't be implemented with vanilla only and required Optifine's ctm is added again!

for Sodium this will require having the Continuity mod installed which allows Optifine's ctm to work perfectly with Sodium!
not only that, it also support the emmisive feature of Optifine! so now many textures will glow up again!

a screenshot of the new screenshots collection: [​you may notice some new features too :) ]

hi everyone!
2 features are coming in the next update of Nature X [​8.2]:

1) all logs will have a small branches
2) all types of ice will have an ice spikes variant

the 8.2 update will be released soon as it has many bug fixes.

you can view these 2 features in the following screenshot:

For the recent release of 1.20.5 I made a whole bunch of new Wolf Mob Statues for everyone!

hi everyone!

phase 2 update of Nature V has been released!
this update has many new features plus very important performance fixes.
it revamps the coral reefs, mushroom fields, deep dark, nether, and the end biome! big improvement! it also fixes many issues with the last update and re-do many of the textures too!

with phase 2 done, Nature V is almost identical to Nature X [​the Optifine version] if not better [​thanks for the new improved performance methods that i've used in Nature V].

in phase 3 i'll focus on doing most of the overlay textures and adding many textures variants for many blocks, so stay tuned!

here is some pics of the phase 2 update:

hi everyone!
Tomorrow i'm publishing my new pack Nature V, which is a Vanilla-Based resource pack that doesn't require Optifine and is compatible with Sodium and other mods.

also thanks for Hippopotamoss for helping with some issues that i've faced during the development.

for me, it's always building the exterior of a house and giving up on the interior
This is one of many house shells I built and left behind

Kept the worst for last. I don't know how to get closer to the color palette of the mob :(

working on v4
started by adding rounded log textures & adding overlay/ connected textures

thank you so much for the 24.6k downloads on pmc and 153k downloads on curseforge

thanks a lot for your amazing support, i appreciate it so much!

i said it before, i’m really proud of v3 of Nature X, i can’t believe how much this version has improved this pack, to the point that i really can’t compare Nature X after v3 with the previous v2 and v1 of it as the difference is truly astounding!

ik i’ve said before that the last update of v3 would be v3.10 (we’re on v3.17 omg) but i couldn’t help myself with stopping. i kept improving this pack with updates until the current update which is as i said v3.17.

v3.17 will be the last update of v3 (seriously this time i promise), and i want to let you know that i’ll keep working harder and try to deliver the best of what i can do.

so, on v4 of Nature X, connected textures for so many blocks will be added, this will be the opening feature of this version. also i’m planning in this version to start adding textures variations for so many other blocks (unrelated nature blocks too).

and with the release of v4, Nature V will be released, this is a vanilla version of Nature X but with less features (as without Optifine there would be some limitations). i’ll keep on updating it and ill try to implement the new features with methods that won’t require Optifine that much.

thanks again, have a great time!

The color palette of the striped wolf is kinda kicking my butt ngl.
I think I'm gonna go with the first variant even though it has super little detail.
What do you think?



I'm afraid the chestnut wolf will be even harder

Two more wolfs done (more or less)

heyy
what's your thoughts on this?

i've added short grass everywhere, it looks cool right?


however, there is a shading issue that occurs but only when using shaders, and in some scenarios not all the time such as time of day, direction of shade.. etc
in the following pic i've used BSL shaders, at noon time. it's not that bad, however the short grass did become darker (in other time of days and other shade directions it's actually good and doesn't have this issue)


here is the same pic, also at noon, but with a different angel (different shade direction), here i think it looks bad, and whatever i do (even when brightening the short grass texture) it still occur


i've wanted to add this feature from a long long time but couldn't solve this issue, so, should i keep this feature or not?
