22/02/21 DEV_LOG - Patreon changes and update around the corner!
🕑 Added 2021-02-22 21:39:12 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Yes, TOMORROW is the release of NAPP 2.5, and it’s coming hot!
First of all, i want to mention some changes I’ve made on the tier rewards in my Patreon (for the better). I mentioned these changes in our Discord server (you can join us to see everything here https://discord.gg/ZZCDe8n) so if you already know the news you can skip this part!
-IRON GANG TIER: You now will have access to the 32x pack, the custom paintings and NAPP Records (custom music) :)
-GOLD GANG TIER: I don't really have nothing new here... but u get this exclusive kiss from me (the only gang that has an official kiss RN)
-PRISMARINE GANG TIER: Damn the 1024 is hard to run... We are working on a new way to compress the images. Also we sent some feedback to Optifine, because with a couple of SUPER easy changes, we would be able to save a LOT of specular and normal textures in the pack to improve a lot the performance. Let's see if they heard us...
-NETHERITE GANG TIER I feel like you don't get enough for your AMAZING support, so I've decided to change a little bit the paradigm with the alternate textures. Instead of being blocks that I change, we will be voting in the private netherite_channel on discord which blocks do YOU want to change and the ideas for it, so every month you will be deciding which blocks you want and how do you want them! :)
-CREATOR TIER is pretty empty (0 patrons lol), so I will add this: If you come to Spain, and specifically to Madrid sometime in the future, just hit me up, beers will be on me (for real)
And now the juicy stuff! I’ve been working on the new update blocks and everything is almost finished, so let's see what’s new:
- Basalt: One of the blocks with the best reception from the community! I’ve been using some real references from Giant’s Causeway located in County Antrim in Northern Ireland. And the result is, in my opinion, pretty damn good.
- Gold and quartz nether ores: For these ones, I’m using the same technique as the regular ores, creating some shape variations to avoid repetition. For the quartz I'm going for a crystal-shape, very sharp and geometrical, and for the gold ones, big nuggets embedded in the netherrack. I really like the result here.
- Jungle trapdoor: The shape is based on the vanilla texture, but I gave it a little ‘handcrafted’ touch, making the curves and diagonals out of wood chunks. Is simple but effective.
- Blackstone blocks redesign: The feedback was clear, the blocks were off from the raw blackstone texture, so I gave them some make-up. Now the blocks are not THAT polished, and more gritty, and the color is darker, and the same as the raw ones. Now the blackstone family is solid and coherent!
Thank you so much to all of you. I know I repeat myself and I always end this updates like this, but it is just the truth. Everything i do is thanks to you all, and holy sh*t we are almost 2100 patrons already. This is just incredible, and the beginning of something very exciting. I hope you have a GREAT day! :) Cheers!!!

Coule you rework the Leaves? So that theese are more round? And not looking like a Block?
