Folders

I made two changes in regards to folders; grouping similar textures for organization style, or Additional Folder Organization, and providing alternative textures without impacting base designs, or Alternate Texture Folders.

Additional Folder Organization

Additional Folder Organization

This section is important to know for those who want to utilize my pack textures and set up for their own and can't seem to find what they're looking for with the standard (and expected) folder tree setup. To have things consistent across all areas, any block texture placed within its own folder will also have their corresponding model/block/(name).json file in their own folder as well.

The following textures are placed within their own folders:

• bee_nest folder
  • front folder
    • 0-5.png (for visual honey levels)
  • bottom.png
  • side.png
  • top.png
• beehive folder
  • front folder
    • 0-5.png (for visual honey levels)

Alternate Texture Folders

Alternative Texture Folders

These folders hold alternative textures that you can utilize instead of the ones already provided. These folders are not rendered in-game so there will be no clash in textures.

If you want to utilize them, you will need to unzip this resource pack and replace the original textures with the textures in the alt folder.

You'll find two alt folders available with the first listed alt folder storing a copy of the original textures as a back-up, in the event you accidentally delete the original without saving, and the second listed alt folder storing the actual alternative textures.

Note: This feature is only available for v3.0.2 and up of my resource pack.

---

BRICKS
The alternative texture is located in the alt2 folder and provides the blue brick block variation. Recently I reverted my brick color texture back to the original color, away from the blue brick that first was released with this pack initially. This is because, as much as blue is the theme of this pack, it did create some visual issues when it came to build designs. I also reverted the brick item and the flower pot back to the original vanilla color, however I did NOT provide the blue color alternative texture for those items.

TERRACOTTA
Within the terracotta folder, within the dyed folder, no alt1 folder is provided. I just forgot and had already zipped the pack for 1.19 through 1.20.1 and just did not want to go back for version v3.0.2. Any changes to that will be listed here. There is a folder named alt_dungeons_parity. When I first released this pack, I utilized the Dungeons Parity terracotta textures from VanillaTweaks and added my own spin on them Similarly to the bricks, I began running into building design issues that deemed this texture, not so great, however I still enjoyed the details of it and wanted it to still be available.

ARMOR IN MODELS FOLDER
Under textures/models/armor, there are the entity maps of all the armor variations. When this pack was initially released, with all the increased resolution textures, these armor textures were set at 32x, instead of the standard 16x resolution. I recently ran into rendering issues on a server where they had their own armor textures set to the 16x resolution and that clashed with my design. However, since my pack is about the increased resolution of textures, I didn't want to lose the 32x armor textures. Within the armor folder, there are two alt folders titled alt_16x and alt_32x. The 16x folder, as mentioned above, is the copy of the standard pack texture, in the event you lose the original. The alt_32x folder holds my pack's original 32x resolution design for the armor and both sets of textures have been updated so there's some element of similarity between the two regardless of the resolution.

Credit

With all the work put into this pack, I want to take the time to shout out other creators who inspired me, who's textures I utilized and expanded, and who's json files educated me. If it weren't for these creators sharing their hard work with the rest of us, this pack would look differently.
