Better Contrast between Granite and Andesite.

[tony Liberatto]

In our Darkagecraft server. we decided to build the Spawn area on a mountain range, it is a truly beautiful place with a valley on the inside. the area is mostly composed of Andesite. Looking for some other stone colours to have some details, I was happy when I found Granite. I was very unhappy when after collecting 3 shipments of Granite Stone I finally started to build with it. Just then I realised that  there is almost no distinction between Andesite and Granite. the colours and shades are very close.  The stone Brick is the worst.

I would like to ask that the textures be changed to have a more accentuated contrast in the colours, At least enough that we can identify them.

As I am no texture artist, I am not really sure what could be changed. Maybe make Granite a bit lighter and give Andesite a tinge of Blue?

Before anyone suggests that I can always just install a Texture pack, I must say that I think this is a Game issue, not just personal preference. I almost always play in multiplayer. When you build something on a server you must assume other players will be using the default game textures.

 

P.S. I also must say that I really love the game textures, the fact that it is a 32x32 texture and the amount of detail and effort anyone can see was put into creating each individual texture makes it a wonderful texture. Thanks to the artist.

They are indeed almost identical... Should be changed. I think I'll patch it with my mod until it's changed.

Andesite tends to be a big more rougher textured, larger inclusion chunks, but still a fairly even distribution. Though both types are pretty similar in makeup, sometimes with veins.

Took a picture with 0 sepia, it does not really help with this issue. The grass looks really green, but the stones still could be changed.

Polished stone is almost good, raw stone is bad and bricks are the worst. to the point that you really have no idea what stone it is.

I would be willing to help with a new texture. Hit me up on Discord, I've sent you a DM

This mod already has modified textures.

Has anything been done about this for the 1.5.3? 

I still think is something that should be done for the Game itself and not as a mod.

Andesite as more bluesh stone.

 

 

   granite as more Greish. 

 

 

I do love the game textures, I just think it would be beneficial to have a more definite contrast between this 2 stone types.
