Maybe the April Fool's shenanigans are messing with the pack today?

[Brad]

I haven't updated things in a while. What kind of shenanigans am I missing out on?

[Brad]

OH.

Oh god what wonderful sounds and music. I have to find these files and save them for future use.

[turtle]

Isn't it just jarring when you're playing normally on a "clean" server like ours? I went to my controls and was all

[kscherer]

"Hello, come out. We mean you no harm."

[RowdyScot]

Duuuuuh duh duuh duuuuh....Duuuuuh duh duuh duuuuh

[Brad]

Surprise! There's an update (v1.7b) in the usual place if you're still manually installing it!

http://applenova.com/etc/brad/minecr...adTextures.zip

This update fixes a couple of broken textures that I'd missed previously and it adds... some secrets. If you're not already letting the server specify the resource pack (you should!) then you really should grab this update. Because secrets.

[Brad]

I just updated the pack (v1.8d) to include support for connected glass and bookshelf blocks if you're using OptiFine and have the "connected textures" option enabled. I've also updated the server to point to the latest version.

Yes, yes... I think I'll take the time this weekend to write up notes about getting OptiFine working with Minecraft 1.8.

[kscherer]

Installed, updated, working.

And, oh, the Nether. THE Nether. THE NETHER!!!

And, oh, the railway. THE Railway. THE RAILWAY!!!

Best update EVER!



Me likes the connected glasses. Me likes them a lot.

Here are some quick instructions on setting up OptiFine. This method uses the most current supported versions of Minecraft and OptiFine. There's another way to do this using Forge which can give you access to some other Forge-based mods, but you have to carefully pick older versions to get things working correctly because the latest versions are not compatible with each other. I may detail that method later.

1. Make sure you're running the latest version of the Minecraft launcher. The latest version bundles a jull copy of the Java 1.8 VM, and you'll need this. https://minecraft.net/download
2. Download the MagicLauncher app. http://magiclauncher.com
3. Download the latest OptiFine for Minecraft 1.8.8. http://optifine.net/downloads
4. Put the optifine jar somewhere you won't lose it!
5. Open MagicLauncher.
6. Click Setup.
7. Ensure that the 1.8.8 environment and 1.8.8 jar are selected.
8. Click the "Add" button on the right and find your optifine jar. Once added, you should see it in the mods list with a checkbox selected.
9. Click the Advanced tab.
10. Check the box by Java and then click the Select button.
11. Change "Types of Files" to "All Files" and then navigate into your Minecraft.app/Contents/runtime/jre-x64/1.8.0_60/bin and select the "java" file.
12. Press OK.
13. Press Login.

Now Minecraft should be running! Whenever you want to start the game with OptiFine, just use MagicLauncher and press Login instead of using the official Minecraft app.

Once Minecraft is started from MagicLauncher, go to Options: Video Settings. If OptiFine is loaded correctly, you'll see its name and version in the bottom left corner of the screen.

To enable connected glass, set Options: Video Settings: Quality: Connected Textures: Fancy.

Mmmmm.... connected glass....

[drewprops]

Oh crap.

MagicLauncher says that the Optifine JAR that I've selected is invalid.

I went back to download an older one, but it doesn't like that one either.

These are the two that I've tried:

OptiFine_1.8.8_HD_U_F5.jar
OptiFine_1.8.8_HD_U_G7.jar


Praytell what sort of boneheaded thing have I done to invalidate this process?

Thx

Is it pirated software?

I just finished initial support (with a little extra cleanup while I'm in there) for Minecraft 1.12.

If you want to try it out yourself, this version and most other versions can be downloaded from my github repo: https://github.com/infinitewarp/anmc...pack/releases/

Once we update the server to 1.12, I'll wire up the automatic thing there.

[Brad]

I just uploaded one more minor update to fix crafting tables not having the recipe book button.

They look great! Brighter shulker boxes! Are banners brighter too? I can't really tell since I don't see them around that much.
