I disliked the new ore textures, so I made a pack that changes them back to how they were pre-1.17.
Image of all the changed blocks and ores
I also included my own imagining of what copper may have looked like if it used the old ore texture style.
Changes:
- Reverts all ore textures to pre-1.17
- Reverts deepslate variants
- Changes copper to a custom texture that I think fits with the old ores
Feedback is welcome!
