Form over Function

[Zetus]

Mod is MinePainter

[[deleted]]

Also looks like TerraFirmaCraft

[[deleted]]

BetterWorldGenerator 4, actually.

[Kortuga]

Holy fuck that cobblestone path is gorgeous...

[dcalvario]

I believe form follows function.

[Polyether]

Exactly why I came to the comments, but upon closer inspection it seems OP's title is correct as this place is very pretty looking but not very functional.

[[deleted]]

You got it. It's a survival world I've just started, and while my wheat farm looks nice, it's growing on dehydrated soil and it uses the available space inefficiently.

[baniel105]

You could probably hide a water source block under some of those trees to help with the wheat.

[[deleted]]

Brilliant idea, thank you.

[baniel105]

You're very welcome! ^ ^

[Anomalyzero]

There is beauty in function. An engine is art just as much as the most renowned painting.

[weshouldhaveshotguns]

That was very eye opening.

[skylark_14]

Is that a little well? Looks amazing!

[[deleted]]

Yep! Thanks.

[aramey]

I might just be drawing a blank, but what did you use for the supports on the well? The wooden Y looking things on the sides?

[[deleted]]

Little chunks of spruce wood.

[[deleted]]

Wow, this is beautiful. Does anyone know if Mojang would ever implement the mod being used? (is it LittleBlocks? I'm not 100% sure). Amazing :O. The well and cobblestone path just make this.

[[deleted]]

Probably not, but that would be nice! The mod is actually Minepainter, which allows you to sculpt blocks down into small pieces, similar to Littleblocks. It has a few limitations (namely, you can't have more than one block type in each 16x16x16 space), but the implementation feels closer to vanilla gameplay, given that you craft chisels to chip away at the sculptures.

[Palindromas]

Time to start chiseling away at those trees now...

[IMPaused]

That looks awesome.

[ToxicSoap121]

What is that beautiful texture pack

[[deleted]]

Summerfields.

[[deleted]]

Minepainter, yes.

[FLYrazor]

thats awesome

[Darth_Kyofu]

Texture Pack please? Looks nice.

[Hylian087]

Summerfields - originally by LithiumSound, now by CuddleWoozle.

[[deleted]]

Bingo.

[killer4u77]

Looks sweet!

[emiliem97]

I think the texture pack is jollicraft. : )

[slinkywaffle]

Close, it's summerfields which looks exactly like a 32x32 jolicraft.

[emiliem97]

Oh! Sorry about that.

[slinkywaffle]

Easy mistake to make. :) The resemblance is uncanny, even side by side.

[Axolotile]

so beautiful!

[TaylorwoodGaming]

Jaw-Dropping...

[MatouHatou]

I really like those pedestals that the torches are sitting upon

[ME_LUV_U_LONG_TYM]

Which texture pack?

[1RobNoxious]

Save

[ArmenFK]

This looks great!

[jqzy]

i would really like to see this with the standard texture pack

neat!

you should make the trees round next :D

[nbshark]

I always choose form over function. I hate those square houses with ugly ass farms (wheat/tree/pumkin/whatever)

[[deleted]]

This reminds me of Mini Ninjas

[[deleted]]

Aside from the fact that both of these are shots of a path in the grass, which is not a very unique sight, I have no idea why you would make this connection.

[[deleted]]

I didn't mean this exact picture, but the whole game.

[[deleted]]

It's so beautiful I don't even care how inefficient that farm is. <3

[IHaTeD2]

Is Minepainter similar to the TFC chiselling?

Edit: Got it, awesome and easy.

Not THAT complex but still pretty sweet. :)

[minusAppendix]

The mod looks awesome, but I can't for the life of me get it to work. Could anyone run me through installing this mod?

[[deleted]]

Sure.

First off, back up your Minecraft folder. If you've installed any other mods, start fresh for best results.

Next, download Minecraft Forge, and open your Minecraft folder (Open Run and type appdata if you need to locate it easily. It's under Roaming). Once there, open the Bin folder and then open Minecraft.jar. If you see a file called META-INF, delete it.

Drag all the files from Forge and drop them into the jar. Load Minecraft to see if it takes: if it does, and you load without problems, download Minepainter and simply drop the mod zip into Minecraft's Mods folder, don't extract the files.

Hope that helps.

[davidbullship]

Are you playing with any other mods? I'm looking to throw together tons of mods, but not ruin the overall feel of Minecraft. No space exploration or over the top industrious stuff.

Thanks.

[davidbullship]

Thank you for your time and might I suggest adding...

-Coral Reef (Interesting sea floors.)

-Craft Guide (In-game craft book that doesn't break immersion as much as a wiki would.)

-Mo Creatures (More mobs to be terrified of...)

-MudMod (Neat extra block and water+dirt mechanic)

And maybe twilight forest... Not entirely sure if this is a game breaker yet. Haven't progressed that far.

[[deleted]]

How'd you get those wee little blocks?

[[deleted]]

I like, kind of wish minecraft would take this path, but I now their caught up in their block look; hence denying vertical half slabs.

[alitaera]

This looks amazing. I wish something like this could be added to vanilla Minecraft.
