alternative materials
Alternative materials is a texture pack that reimagines materials.
*With materials, I mean things you get from ores.
Available for java and bedrock!
diamond
I tried to do this "classic" look for it, like how you would imagine a stereotypical diamond.
emerald
The emerald is on its side and has a bigger bit that sticks out of it. For some reason it just feels right.
golden ingot, nugget
I matched the colours with the gold block and made it a little shinier.
coal
Three coal bits merged together. The colour matches the coal block. It is also a bit greener to match the coal ore, which is a little bit green.
raw copper
I made the raw copper texture have the oxidized parts spread around it, instead of having it in one specific place.
netherite scrap
I wanted the netherite scrap to look like a piece of the ancient debris.
quartz
I tried to make it look like real life quartz. I think it came out quite nice.
lapis
I have drawn inspiration from real lapis lazuli to create a texture to be a closer mach to the typical patterns you tend to see on real lapis lazuli.
iron
Iron in Minecraft is pretty white. I have gone for a different approach and made it grayer and dirtier. Due to the colour change, it kind of sets me up to change all items and blocks made out of iron, which will come sooner or later. I am working on it.
raw iron
Minecraft has always portrayed the iron ore as tan-yellowish. In real life it usually looks more orange-red (colour of rust), which is why iron goes orange when it oxidizes. It also has some gray spots, which is expected on raw iron, just like how raw copper is both teal and orange.
redstone
I made the redstone more of a round shape.

Update #9 : by eism 06/12/2026 9:49:21 amJune 12 @ 1:49 pm UTC
changed raw iron, iron ingot and iron nugget. Since I have changed the colour of the material, it means I should also change the corresponding iron items and blocks, like the iron tools, iron door, etc... This is on the way!

Have something to say?
this might happen, but I have had no plans to do this yet. Mojang might change some textures, and if I think that I can change it to a better texture, I will try!
also-
I'm sure that this is annoying, but what program do you use to create your texture packs?
to make my textures I like to use paint 3D. it is free and is pretty easy to get used to!
