If I have to look at another ore again I'm going to throw myself out the window...

Ore Update's Done!

Beta 55 includes the remaining ore remakes, as well as the two nether ores. Also threw in a couple extra features like an updated water placeholder texture for those who use the pack without shaders - more info on that here - (if you prefer the old solid-color look, it is available in the Discord as an add-on).

There's also now quite a few texture variations for stone to help break up the textures repetition in large areas. I'd love to add variations to more blocks in the future (as since the pack isn't pixelated, the random-rotation in vanilla creates seams and must be disabled), with stone hopefully being just the start.

Bug Obliteration

If you check out the changelog below you'll also find a frankly absurd amount of bugfixes in this update. This would not have been possible without NSB Gamer in the Discord, who is the absolute goat of bug reports and is responsible for the discovery of nearly every single bug on that list.

I'll take this time to remind everyone that if you ever run into any bugs, please report them in the Discord so we can either help you fix them, or get them fixed for everyone in the next update! (Although Pack Tester and Development Council tier Patrons uniquely have access to the #🧪・tester-feedback channel for discussion about the early access updates, you do NOT need to have access to it to report bugs; feel free to report bugs in any channel and they will be seen)

Speaking of bugs, there are a couple I'd like to address. First and foremost, the bug many people have been having where textures display as black when using PBR is not a pack bug.

It is an issue with Mojang changing the way rendering works in the latest updates of the game, breaking shaders for some users. It affects all PBR resource packs, and there's nothing we can do on our end at the moment except wait for Iris / Sodium to fix the issue. The current temporary solution is to downgrade to the latest 26.1 version, downgrade Sodium to the latest 0.8 version, and downgrade Iris to the 1.10.9 version.

Beds are also currently broken in 26.2, and they will display the vanilla textures. This is due to Mojang changing the format of the bed textures in a massive way. It will take me a good amount of time to de-tangle it all. I hoped to get the fix in before today, but I most likely would've had to delay the update. Expect a beta 55.1 soon.

Finally, there are some known issues with the way redstone dust renders, creating odd behavior. This seems to be Minecraft update related, and I'm currently looking for a solution.

What's next?

With the ore update finished, development focus is now being directed at the Bedrock port, which is coming along quite well. Expect a release sometime mid-August and a post very soon with some screenshots and more information.

I'm also in the process of remaking the prime mods website. This will hopefully enable a much better user experience for you guys including download-hub support on mobile, an easy place to find all Java, Bedrock, and Preview pack downloads, and more.

After the Bedrock port is out, future updates will release for both Java and Bedrock. My next priority for those updates is catching up on all the textures requested by Development Council tier members which covers all sorts of blocks and items.
