Texture Packs and Mods
I made a dead simple in-game texture pack loader today:
Interestingly, I discovered our texture packs are still almost totally compatible with vanilla minecraft texture packs. Here’s what it looks like with the default minecraft texture pack naively loaded in from the game (all I had to do was drag a .png into a folder and load it up in the game’s interface). I was also pleased to discover by accident that our engine already natively supports transparent block textures.
The system I wrote actually generalizes to all the assets in the game, but I need to do some work to make an interface to customize them all. Ideally, players will be able to change any asset we use to their liking.
