Pulchra Alpha and Beta Update - 1.15.2
Added 2020-06-26 02:07:42 +0000 UTCWe got a pretty big update for both the Alpha and Beta branches of Pulchra today so let's get into the details! Firstly the pack has now been updated to support 1.15.2 Optifine. A few new optimizations and visual improvements were done and effect the following textures:
*Barnacle overlay
*Kelp
*Magma
*Coal, Iron, Gold, and Diamond ore
*Podzol
*Sand
Of course, I couldn't just do optimizations and keep you all waiting for so long just for that so I also have added in new textures as well:
*River Gravel
*River Sand
*Badlands Coal Ore
*Badlands Iron Ore
*Badlands Gold Ore
*Badlands Diamond Ore
*Beach Coal Ore
*Beach Iron Ore
*Beach Gold Ore
*Beach Diamond Ore
*Mossy Coal Ore
*Mossy Iron Ore
*Mossy Gold Ore
*Mossy Diamond Ore
*Golden Carving Axe
*Golden Halberd
*Netherite Block
*Compass
*Clock
The compass and clock we're the most time-consuming texture by far in this update. The clock displays 24 hours in roman numerals as seen and is perfectly linked to Minecrafts in-game time unlike in the default . So if it's 12:00 AM in-game it will show 12:00 AM on the clock as it should be. Before I redid the clock code it would display the time as 7:00 AM which is way off from 12:00 AM. This was due to them not needing to be accurate with the clock because they use a visual indicator instead of an actual hour hand.
Lastly, all new patrons have been added to the splash menu as well as the end credits of the game. The netherite block was added in since Optifine for 1.16 is already in development so I'm preparing for that. To wrap things up, there are a few more optimizations and bug fixes needed before the first RC update but it should be relatively soon in the coming days. Once that happens a poll will be done for diamond patrons on what you want me to work on next, improve or focus on in the pack so stay tuned for that!
