Hi everyone, love the texture pack, looking forward to the new villager skins the most; the ravager is gonna be great to see too. The pillagers are awesome, really fun designs.
Someone asked me to point them to BD after seeing the pillagers in a screenshot I had shared.
I've been using BD since 1.11, and joined to give my feedback on 1.14.
- The birch sign is very hard to see in the inventory UI. I actually avoid using them because of this.
- The 1.14 separation between ink sac and black dye is unfortunate. It made perfect sense before, but now when we craft Book & Quill we have to imagine someone using a piece of a squid's body to write, rather than the actual pot of ink we already had (that also says "INK"). I honestly forget and craft the little ink pot literally every time by mistake. It's also a bit mixed up in that Minecraft is now saying "Dye can dye things, ink cannot", yet the item that looks like and is labelled as ink can dye, and isn't connected to writing in books.
I think the visible ink pot should return to being the squid's drop, replacing the ink sac icon, and a black dye icon made to match the rest of the dyes. That would mean dropping the ink sac icon that BDCraft currently uses... a worthy sacrifice imo; it's the ink pot graphic (that says "INK") that's the cute one.
- The UI on the furnaces especially is a bit weird. I like the approach of having the new station visible as part of the UI, but the big white squares are kind of clunky and out-of-theme. Are they placeholders?
More importantly, coal blocks in a furnace are near impossible to see. You have to rely on the floating number, so viewing isn't as pleasant as it used to be.
- This last bit of feedback is really a request. As we know, the 1.14 villagers now have a badge on their front showing their status (Novice, Expert, etc). My request is that their new textures actually display that badge on the front AND back. Heck maybe even a whole belt.
If you work with villagers a lot you find yourself having to mess around so much just because you can't easily see a villager's status. There's nothing worse than waiting for villager AI to do what you need it to do. Making the badge more visible would save a lot of running around/waiting/having to click on a villager.
Thanks for the read. Keep up the good work.
