Default HD Preview: New Armor Textures!

Hey guys! Here is a preview of some new armor textures!

Thought it was time to start doing them, considering I have never made proper armor textures for the pack since its creation. Each will be a bit different but they will have the classic Default HD style shading.  

They may seem a bit simple, but to a point that's the goal of Default HD!

Dramatic Skys Preview: Re-doing some old skies!

Hey guys! Here is a little preview of the new skies I have for the desert biome. I really was not a huge fan of the ones I had before and how they looked/turned out so I decided to make a new one. 

There is the sky for it during the day and dawn/dusk, and ofc at night it uses the milky way sky!

Over time I will be remaking skies here and there that I am not 100% happy with, I just want the skies and experience to be the best possible for you all!

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone! Wanted to wish you all a happy new year!

2023 was a big year of growth for me and this community and I am beyond thankful for it. You guys never cease to amaze me when it comes to love and support. This community has grown quite a bit socially as well, we have some more active people in the server and in chat. I love to see that. I can never recommend chatting in here enough of course, but I wanted to point it out.

This year has also come with a lot of progress on th...

Dramatic Skys Beta 2.1: Updated Sky and Bug Fixes!

Hey guys! Here is the latest beta for Dramatic Skys! In this update the clouds that were on the Milky Way sky have been replaced with new ones. These new ones are better as a whole but the old ones were a placeholder and were meant to be replaced a while ago. 

It was also brought to my attention that there were some issues with the fabric property files. Some minor typos (missing commas) c...

3 Year Anniversary!

Today, December 16th, marks 3 years since I started my Discord server/community and started working to update and create Minecraft content again.

2020 was rough for a lot of people, me included. Though it did reignite my passion for creating content. I want to thank every single one of you who have supported me. That being by using my free packs on Curse and Modrinth, joining the server and chatting, becoming a patron or any paid option.. It all means the world to me. I am so grateful ...

Default HD PBR Preview: Just some new goodies and pics!

Thank you to @UsernameGeri and @raccmalone for the in game screenshots!

Default HD 128x Beta 1.9.9.6: All new particle effects!

Hey guys! Super happy to give you guys this early access build of the pack. This time around I have finished all of the particle effects. That's right, ALL OF THEM.

Even in my older versions I never made particle effect...

Default HD PBR Preview: Wood, Bricks, and Other Stuff!

Hey guys! Just got these screenshots in from @raccmalone over on discord last night and wanted to share with all of you here!

I could not be happier with the way the planks and wood in general turned out. Planks have just enough depth to add a classic feeling and the logs actually look like bark. I may alter the log a little bit as it is rather rough but that was intentional to some degree.

We also see bricks for the first time, which I think turned out quite g...

Coming Soon to Dramatic Skys: High Altitude Weather + More!

Hey guys! Figured I would update you all here for those not in my Discord server. In the next version of Dramatic Skys, High Altitude Weather skies will be added! At  the moment there is a not a set weather sky to match the high altitude stuff, this will fix that and make everything more cohesive.
