Hello member(s) of Sphax
I love your texture pack but these are just some ideas I had. They're really insignificant but the last one isn't so grab a box of tissues T-T

-Change strength icon to the flex icon on Skype with arrow (red)
Instead of the strength icon being the boring sword, make it like the flex/muscle icon on Skype or something like that and maybe put an arrow over the bicep to show increased strength

-Add Omega Symbol on resistance shield.
Omega is the symbol of resistance. Who said Minecraft wasn't edujamactional?!

- Jump boost *could* be a hopping Kangaroo
This is just a thought, add it if you want

-Change world border (Honeycomb?)
The world border is kinda bland (at least last time i checked, it was just the one in regular MC) For simplicity sake maybe make it a honeycomb or stick with the pentagon theme

-Make Trapped Chest more apparent
I really can't tell the difference between a trapped and a regular chest. In regular MC it's not apparent at first glance but if you look at the chest for a bit you can tell it's trapped. Maybe smear redstone dust on the chest?

-Make Iron Armour more like a knight. (1.9)
With the addition of shields maybe you could make iron armour more like knight armour. It doesn't have to be the classic knight armour, maybe it can be like Vanguard armour. Just a thought. If anything make the option to have the welder or knight armour for Iron armour maybe in the texture pack files?

-Health Boost should be a heart with a plus sign beside
The health boost icon could be a heart with a plus sigh beside to show a boost in health

-Absorption could be a yellow heart with a shield beside
The Absorption icon could be a yellow heart with a shield beside it to convey the idea that you are absorbing hits or taking hits.

-Regeneration should be a heart with a lightning bolt inside the heart.
I think you get the idea

-Change the look of the diamond axe (and maybe Gold) to look of a battle axe like in older versions.
I really liked how the Diamond and Gold axe were kind of like war axes. Please change it back :)

-Make Night Vision an owl.
Owl's have good Night vision, so maybe make it the icon?

-Fix armour overlapping glitch. Make it less glitchy
I'm sorry if this sounds like I am undermining your work. This is just a weird glitch where the armour overlaps. I'm sorry if you already fixed it in the Changelog :(

-Higher textured and/or circular moon and sun.
This just a thought. You can ignore this if you want

-Change EnderChest GUI
Enderchest GUI is just bland and is just the chest GUI. Just please change it :)
-More in the Player GUI
This is just a thought. maybe add more in the player GUI because is not much going in the background of the GUI.

-Make delete item 'x' red so it stands out more
The 'X' in the creative inventory to delete an item is not very apparent. Just make it red and put it in a lighter red box so that it is more apparent.

Now for the saddest one of all. This is the story of SwagMoney. Get those tissues.
I just got MCPE but my game glitched. I spawned in a cave. I even found diamond but I had no wood. Now I was forced to dig up for 30 mins through stone with my fist. It was not fun :-x. As I dug up I hit a water stream. I swam up the stream only to find a pool. In that pool there was singular dirt block in the middle of the pool, and on that block there was a sheep and it did not move off that block. I quickly got glass and caged the sheep and he was dubbed SwagMoney! But here comes the sad part. One unfortunate evening, a menace came to my house and blew it up, letting SwagMoney free. He was stuck in a water stream. I tried to get him out, but my efforts were futile. My new sheep companion was being controlled by the stream of water and my efforts caused an heart-breaking event. I tapped the screen of my electronic device and I struck SwagMoney too hard. SwagMoney was then robbed of his pixelated breath and evaporated into a cloud of dust, he was now dead only leaving behind one wool. SwagMoney's wool was buried and every sheep you see now is a descendant of SwagMoney

Please sphax, make an omen to SwagMoney. Instead of making the sheep depressed, give them sunshades. Maybe add like little puffs in there wool with DOLLA BILLZ hanging out ;). jk. just maybe puff off the wool with little dollars coming out. That would be fine. If you're going to change anything, change this. While i would be very appreciative if you also did my other other ideas, this is the most important to me

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I await any reply. Have a nice day!
P.S. I am sorry if any of this is already addressed in the Changelog!

Firstly, Sphax is a person. He's one guy. The team is BDcraft ;)

None of the effect icons will be changed. They're meant to be simple and clean and we like them as they are.

The battleaxe styled axes will probably be re-added at some point as alts. I actually thought they were already in there, but obviously not.

The iron armour is meant to look hand-made and "messy". It won't be changed. Someone else can do an alt if they want though (considering this has been requested numerous times and no one's stepped up it seems unlikely ;)).

The Enderchest GUI can't be changed. That's hard-coded in Minecraft.

Anything to do with armour overlapping is just how Mojang have positioned the armour. Until they let us do custom models for such things it can't be fixed.

As for the world border and delete icon in the creative GUI we'll take a look.

The less we say about your story about the sheep the better ;)

Thank you very much for your swift reply

I do not know much about making resource packs so I apologize if it seems as though I may have undermined your work or seemed ungrateful. I did not mean to offend anyone at the BDcraft team or Sphax himself. Thank you for quickly notifying me on any thing that could or not be changed and taking into consideration my ideas.

"The less we say about your story about the sheep the better ;)"
Does that mean SwagMoney has a chance? ;)

Thank you everyone at the BDcraft team and Sphax for creating such an amazing resource pack. Have a nice day! :)

Battleaxes are in the items_alt1 folder in the 1.9 pack.

I'm always HYPER!!!!

I think it'd be interesting if the block of Redstone (in the technology add-on) looked like a bundle of wires. Currently it doesn't really fit the theme with the rest of the Redstone elements.

A new redstone block will be available in the next release of the Technology Addon ;)

We generally only make announcements via Sphax's Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sphax84

We really should have a better way to do it ^.^;;

I would recommend to add a date on the download site each resource pack version? That would be pretty helpfull I guess, even if I'm following you on Twitter
