About ZLTweaks Resource Pack
A set of changes in the spirit of vanilla Minecraft, aimed at eliminating repetitive elements and visual inconsistencies. Originally created for personal use but published for general access after numerous requests. Particularly relevant in light of the updated vanilla version textures.
Main Changes
Double doors no longer mirror each other and have received unique design on both sides - different textures for hinges and handles. Meanwhile, lighting direction to the upper-left corner is preserved on all rotations.
Furniture updated its textures - furnaces, dispensers, and droppers receive unique bottom part design. For dispensers and droppers, the changes only affect the horizontal block orientation.
Infested stones now display with a warning tape frame in the inventory so you don't accidentally confuse them with normal stone.
Pumpkins receive special design - a separate bottom texture, and Jack-O'-Lanterns have a cut-out top showing the torch inside. Light passes through this opening.
Ordinary wooden chests received updated, less intrusive opening and closing sounds. Comparative video demonstrates the difference.
Grass has been simplified - instead of 66 shades, only 8 are used for the top part and side overlay. Glass has also improved - upper shades better match side ones, and colored glass received additional tinting options.
Pink petals gained height variation in each quadrant, while sandstone preserved its characteristic edges on slab sides (regular, cut, red).
The loading screen when transitioning between dimensions is now thematic - soul sand for the Nether and end stone for the End.
Features for Optifine
Disabled the mod's automatic CTM for sandstone sides - now using standard bottom textures of corresponding blocks. Regular glass received an update - removed repeating shadows in the central part creating dirt illusion, minimized streaks.
Grass now spreads onto other blocks when Optifine is installed - onto clay, cobblestone, stone variants (granite, diorite, andesite), tilled and dry farmland, gravel, sand and sandstone, various non-mossy stone bricks. Grass spreads onto full blocks, upper slabs, and upside-down stairs.
Colored glass received basic connected textures. Cut sandstone now visually matches rough side treatment through connected textures. Sugar cane tops appear less uniform and more natural.
Mod Support
Biomes O' Plenty - fixed tiling effects on the mod's doors, which are now as functional as vanilla counterparts. Bunch of Biomes - fixed texture naming for clay dirt to match vanilla style, mud and clay dirt utilize simplified shade sets. Cursed Earth - recolored according to vanilla grass, with separated overlay texture and model/blockstate configuration files for exclusion from vanilla glass.
Added compatibility with Iron Chests and Modern Glass Doors - doors now display without texture element overlapping.
Additional Features for Optifine and Mod Combinations
Extended grass overlay functionality for numerous blocks in supplementary modifications - compatibility with Biomes O' Plenty, Bunch of Biomes, Cursed Earth, Quark. Implemented texture connection for Quark bookshelves and Soul Sandstone Bricks through Optifine's connected textures technology.
