Vanillaccurate YSS: MCPE with POM!

The Vanillaccurate 64x pack was also adjusted to work with the latest YSSbe shader on MCPE! This shader has normalmapping, PBR, as well as parallax mapping, which makes it one of the closest one to some Java shaders features-wise! As you can see, there’s depth and “fake” 3D (AKA parallax mapping) on the blocks, on […]

Vanillaccurate OSBES 128x sneak peek

Vanillaccurate will be coming to OSBES and similar shaders at 128x resolution! I even tried using a 256x version but MCPE crashed, I guess my phone doesn’t have enough memory to support such a pack. Anyhoo here are a couple of screenshots of the upcoming 128x version. Performance is slightly lower than 64x but I […]

Dev news : dripleaves

Those look kinda like large lilypads, which prompted me to redesign water lilies. I digress. I can’t really show off those right now, I don’t even know if they’re available in the latest optifine-powered 1.17 snapshot. I managed to pull together a quick render preview of the large dripleaf structure, so here it is. I’ll […]

Dev news : cave vines

I managed to display those vines in-game, here are some nice screenshots of those new blocks that provide light as well as sustenance. The previous in-game shot I shared was tinted and using the regular vine model. As it turns out the original vanilla model for such blocks is supposed to be a hanging “cross” […]

Dev news : glow lichen, cave plants WIP, tinted glass

Some more 1.17 blocks were done (or redesigned) today. Nothing earth-shattering but hey, progress is progress right 🙂 Here’s glow lichen. I used a very low LabPBR emissive value on this one, but it will still mostly be up to the shaders to interpret how emissive those are. Also I tried showing off cave vines, […]

Dev news : dripstones, sculk, lightning rod

So yeah, I added the remaining dripstone blocks that are intended to tile together to form large stalagmites/stalactites. Also, I added the lightning rod using a copper-based material As a teaser, here’s also the first rendition of the sculk sensor for Vanillaccurate (Substance render) and in-game showing the off and on states. I haven’t designed […]

Dev news : more 1.17

Several blocks were added and some were fixed today. First of all, here’s the fixed rooted dirt block that was lacking lots of details in yesterday’s screenshots. being neck-deep in it I don’t always take a step back and notice something’s amiss 😉 Next up is the dripstone block. I used a similar approach to […]

Dev news : more deepslate

I added the remaining deepslate stuff to Vanillaccurate, including all ores, tiled variants, chiseled, bricks… I also added the moss block, all candles, and rooted dirt. Deepslate ores I added the remaining ores to the deepslate variant: emerald, lapis, copper. Deepslate tiles and bricks Deepslate also has tiles besides the cobbled variant. Those look like […]

Dev news : more misc improvements

I worked on prismarine blocks today. I wanted to have more details on the albedo/colormap, remove some baked-in AO and improve the external texture AO map. I also added some more fine detail in the material. Grass and tall grass have had some adjustments too, I made grass blades a tad larger and scarcer. I […]

Dev news : various improvements

I improved the lapis block and ore to be a bit more like Realaccurate. It kinda looks much more detailed and closer to lapis lazuli I also wanted to redo cobblestone a bit. I wasn’t super fond of the roundness I added to the boulders, so I decided to tone that down a bit. This […]
