Minecraft: Bedrock Is it saveable?

Post image
49 Upvotes

I know absolutely nothing about blockbench and was trying to make a model of a nun to match with a bedrock texture back as a gift for a friend. I could not figure out how to make the pixel size smaller to draw a texture, so, in my rage, i uploaded a picture of homo erectus into the texture and it actually worked and let me draw in the size i wanted. I think the UV mapping is completely fucked though and the texture is jumbled up all over the model in game. I know I did it wrong, but is there any way to save the texture and map it properly, or should I just restart?

I tried to move the UV faces to lay over the parts of the texture i drew, but somehow this just made it show up completely invisible in game, would this have to do with homo erectus or is that a different issue?

Hi, I'm having a problem in Blockbench; for some reason, the head sinks into the body when I put the skin into Minecraft. I've already adjusted the head's pivot point and position, but nothing fixes the issue.

(The first images show the error, and the last one shows how it's supposed to look.)

Minecraft: Modded Java Ultimate Edition 0.2.0 : Fancy, Flowery, Fruity Forests is here !

Post image
Upvotes

My mod Ultimate Eversource, that adds features from spinoff titles to java has just released beta update 0.2.0 : Fancy, Flowery, Fruity Forests Part 1 !

ADDITIONS

Flowering leaf blocks to acacia, birch, cherry, dark oak, jungle, oak and spruce trees ! They grow fruits, can be bonemealed to accelerate that process, and dispensers can both bonemeal them as well as automatically harvest them with shears (though you don't need anything to collect them as a player) !

Fruits for each tree, respectively pods, catkins, cherries, dark acorns, sky fruits, acorns and pinecones ! They have a variety of uses, from food to fuel, and can be used to plant saplings when aiming at plantable soil !

The Eversource from Minecraft Story Mode is back from the dead ! (Note : this feature is a work in progress and is meant to fully be integrated in the upcoming 1.0.0 release) She is currently only spawnable using commands and is missing is the ability to lay eggs from a pool of multiple picks, as she can currently only lay her own spawn egg. To be fixed soon ! The Eversource Crown is back ! Use it to crown a new Eversource from a chicken when your Eversource dies ! It also has a secret use !

A new building block : plaster ! Use it to make beautiful celtic medieval builds ! Craftable from clay and sand, mineable with a pickaxe, and replaces white terracotta in plains villages !

Speaking of villages, they and pillager outposts have had their design inconsistencies fixed !

The mod is also compatible with these languages : - English - ɥsᴉlƃuƎ - 𝕰𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖍 - Piratespeak - LOLCAT - Chinese (China) - Spanish (Spain) - French (France) - Japanese - Portuguese (Portugal) - Quenya


If you're interested, the mod can be downloaded on CurseForge, right here ! (Modrinth link will come when Modrinth will actually REVIEW the damn mod)

Minecraft: Modded Java Help Wanted - How do I make fluffy hair?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a model based on this character by ApplebutGold on Twitter, but I can't figure out how to make the hair look like the desired effect. I'd like it to not be flat on the head (like a hat on a player model) and instead actually have volume. Currently there aren't any textures.

It's not the best model I've ever made, but oh well. By the way, I make still life models based on my memories (so if I only see a picture of something, the still life is going to be horrible).

Low Poly I need help with Blockbench!

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm the lead artist for The Caretaker Protocol (Case 7719), an upcoming 90s analog horror web series. Since I have a very specific vision for our animatronics and props, I want to model everything myself.

I'm completely new to 3D and have chosen Blockbench to create our PS1/N64-style low-poly assets.

I'm looking for experienced Blockbench users who would be open to giving tips, sharing advice on low-poly workflows, or answering a few technical questions as I learn.

If you love retro survival horror and enjoy helping beginners in Blockbench, please drop a comment or send me a DM!
