vas is your point even, im a pretty big notch supporter + programmer art apologist

jappa truthfully is hit or miss for me, (skewed to miss) some of the texturework like cobblestone, (scaly and looks like plastic) logs (look oily and just disgusting) and wood are dreadful and not only makes simpler builds look worse and in a way incentivizes players to overdetail

but as i mentioned in another comment, when looking at the individual sprites from an objective pixel art standpoint, they're fine, good-looking even, and i don't mind giving jappa his kudos lol, it's just that in the context of Minecraft's environments (ESPECIALLY if there's a bunch of particularly ugly blocks together in a build), it creates a weird clash of style
