EarthSiege64
es64 is a texture and resource pack for Minetest, an infinite sandbox game. Though it looks and acts much like Minecraft, it has fundamental differences such as being highly modifiable (one of its core intents) by way of subgames and modpacks. There are quite a few gains here:
- Modded server and their packs are server-side, you dont need to install more versions just to play a different modpack, nor do you even need to restart minetest. This also goes for gamepacks (subgames) which are akin to modded bukkit (on the mc server side) servers. You get both without needing a restart. Texture packs, resource packs, mods and other content are downloaded and installed right inside the Minetest instance. No need to even start a web browser because Minetest adds in all mods so long as the author properly registers their mod with the Minetest wiki/forum site.
- Minetest is written in C++, the mods in the very efficiently bound Lua library and its own modding API. The result is a much faster loading environment, saving way more space for high resolution packs and shaders/resources.
- Servers are not kept on various server listing sites, they are ALL listed right in game (much like bedrock edition MC, though I think they copied it 🦊
- Most content is compatible, you can install it on linux, android, windows, etc.
- The Minetest world is not just near-infinite in the four directions (North, South, East, West), it is also Up (sky->space->moon->asteroids) and Down (underground layers->caves->underground-cave-mods(that many servers do use like caverealms)->nether (nether is a standard addon). My Defaults: When I talk about Minetest as a game, I usually mean Minetest plus all the suggested and included addons that are 'core' to the minetest game (not other games). When I talk about this texture pack on modded, I am referring to blocky survival and their mods (see bls_mods)
There are a LOT of textures in here, thousands. Ive used a converter on a few other packs (notably, soartex, pixelperfection, and the default minetest resources and the mods included for bls). Ideally, I plan to rewrite all the textures, for the time being the textures have been upsampled and been transformed using my 2xSAI graphics transformation formula or placeheld with another texture from a pack that is simmilar to what I have in store. That said, If you find me using some graphic you dont want me to use, please submit the name of the texture so i can remove it. I need the requests to name each file you want removed, I will only remove things if you are specific about it (I cannot guess what you would mean by 'all the files that look like xyz that are greener than abc).
I have inferred most licenses as being allowed to make available unaltered copies, giving credit to the original authors (as above and in the README.md). If your name is missing, please let me add it (let me know through a message on github for fastest response).
This pack was started by osirisgothra, the original owner of this github area, I do not entirely know if his art was supposed to be GNU GPL3 though it does seem to suggest that in the files I have processed. I will definitely continue his work and finish this project. Any contributions are very welcome.
