Description

Ashen is a 16x resource pack meant to completely overhaul the game's visual style while remaining faithful to Minecraft's original vision. The pack features custom models for many blocks and items, new block variants for added detail for your builds, and mob variants (when paired with a mod like Optifine) for further variety. Ashen has been a hobby project of mine for a while now -- I started working on it as early as 2019 (though none of the textures I made then are still in use). Now, as of release v1.13, the pack is feature-complete! It features textures for every in-game asset (excluding Realms assets and the font, the latter of which is offered as a standalone download)!

As it stands, Ashen is offered as-is. I can in no way guarantee it'll be compatible with other resource packs or mods that change block, item, or creature models. If it works out of the box, that's great. However, ensuring mod compatibility is not my first priority. I mostly play vanilla, so I approach Ashen with that in mind. Once I finish the pack's core textures, though, I do intend to go back through and add expanded mod compatibility, and even add support for some mods. As of Ashen 1.2, the pack should be out-of-the-box compatible with FreshLX's Fresh Animations. In order to use both packs together, you'll need to place Ashen above Fresh Animations in the resource pack load order (the panel on the right when you select packs). While I cannot guarantee 100% compatibility, I will do my best to maintain Ashen's mob textures to keep it as compatible as possible. I also do not currently plan on providing support or compatibility for out-of-date versions of Minecraft, at least not as the pack currently stands. I don't play older versions, so my focus is on maintaining its compatibility with current versions of the game. I may offer versions compatible with older updates in the future, but that's pretty low on my to-do list. This also extends to Bedrock Edition compatibility. I've only ever played Java, so at present I have little personal investment in the time and effort it would take to fully port this pack, so that, too, is very low on my to-do list. This is not to say a Bedrock port is out of the question, but it likely won't happen any time soon. Add-Ons

On its own, Ashen will only ever be available for download from my accounts on Modrinth, Curseforge, PlanetMinecraft, and Discord. Any other site or service claiming to offer it in any form should be assumed malicious (and, if you can, it should be reported).

I work in the creative arts for a living, not just as a hobby. Please respect my effort the same as you would any other creative's effort. Ashen is a labor of love, and has eaten up a lot of my free time over the past few years.
