About

Ashen is a 16x resource pack meant to completely overhaul the game's visual style while remaining faithful to Minecraft's original vision. The pack features custom models for many blocks and items, new block variants for added detail for your builds, and mob variants (when paired with a mod like Optifine) for further variety.


Ashen has been a hobby project of mine for a while now -- I started working on it as early as 2019 (though none of the textures I made then are still in use). Now, as of release v1.13, the pack is feature-complete! It features textures for every in-game asset (excluding Realms assets and the font, the latter of which is offered as a standalone download)!

Compatibility

As it stands, Ashen is offered as-is. I can in no way guarantee it'll be compatible with other resource packs or mods that change block, item, or creature models. If it works out of the box, that's great. However, ensuring mod compatibility is not my first priority. I mostly play vanilla, so I approach Ashen with that in mind. Once I finish the pack's core textures, though, I do intend to go back through and add expanded mod compatibility, and even add support for some mods.

As of Ashen 1.2, the pack should be out-of-the-box compatible with Fresh__LX's Fresh Animations. In order to use both packs together, you'll need to place Ashen above Fresh Animations in the resource pack load order (the panel on the right when you select packs). While I cannot guarantee 100% compatibility, I will do my best to maintain Ashen's mob textures to keep it as compatible as possible.

I also do not currently plan on providing support or compatibility for out-of-date versions of Minecraft, at least not as the pack currently stands. I don't play older versions, so my focus is on maintaining its compatibility with current versions of the game. I may offer versions compatible with older updates in the future, but that's pretty low on my to-do list. This also extends to Bedrock Edition compatibility. I've only ever played Java, so at present I have little personal investment in the time and effort it would take to fully port this pack, so that, too, is very low on my to-do list. This is not to say a Bedrock port is out of the question, but it likely won't happen any time soon.


Terms

What can you do with Ashen?
- Play with it (obviously)
- Encourage your friends to play with it (please)
- Take and upload screenshots with it
- Include it in videos or other media (I would very much appreciate it if you would credit me if you do this)
- Ask for permission to include it in a modpack. I will grant this permission on a case-by-case basis. Any modpacks including Ashen must have a direct link to the original resourcepack page.
- Modify any or all files for personal use. I will not, however, provide support for versions you've personally modified.


What can't you do with Ashen?
- Redistribute these files, edited or otherwise. This includes uploading them to other sites. On its own, Ashen will only ever be available for download from my accounts on Modrinth, Curseforge, PlanetMinecraft, and Discord. Any other site or service claiming to offer it in any form should be assumed malicious (and, if you can, it should be reported).
- Include Ashen in a modpack that is associated with a monetized link of any kind -- such as an (Ad link removed) link -- for any reason or under any circumstances.
- Claim my work as your own. I work in the creative arts for a living, not just as a hobby. Please respect my effort the same as you would any other creative's effort.


Ashen is a labor of love, and has eaten up a lot of my free time over the past few years.

could you perhaps make a version that makes the cherry wood more pink? i absolutely adore this pack but the cherry wood is so sad now and i really wish it was more vibrant!

I'm pretty happy with how desaturated it is, personally, but you're more than welcome to edit the pack for personal use to be more to your liking!

Is there any way you would be able to release a version with only the armor and horse armor textures and models? Absolutely love the pack in its entirety, but especially the armor and I was hoping to maybe combine those with some other texture packs!

That's admittedly not something on my radar, but it's pretty easy to do yourself by just opening the pack's zip file and deleting all the textures, blockstates, and models that you don't want!

Now that I've finished catching the pack up to current MC versions, I have actually started work on a Bedrock port! However, given the complexity of porting over Ashen's block variants (there are twenty-two different textures just for Allium haha), this is proving to be a very slow process, and those texture variants actually mean that automated pack converters just... don't work at all lol. On top of doing this all manually, I'm also working to prepare for Vibrant Visuals, so I essentially have to remake every texture for the shader mapping.

So, long story short -- I am! But it won't be released soon

No real progress to report. All of the items are converted for the most part (but without any of the Vibrant Visuals shadermaps yet), but they're the easy things. Dealing with the block variants is proving to be a real headache, and I'm pivoting to work on textures for the next Drop, 26.1. I'm also just now starting my spring semester, so I have to slow down and prioritize teaching anyways. It'll happen, but again, won't be released soon
