COMING NOV 1st - 🪵Log Overhaul [Available now for Pack Testers]

The brand new texture created for the top of the poplar log in the last pack update was so well received, of course I had to replicate it on every other log - including the stripped variants!

While working on those stripped textures I noticed they completely lacked subsurface scattering; a weird visual inconsistency when compared to their non-stripped counterparts. This is now fixed in both the Java and Bedrock packs.

Similarly, the new poplar logs were the first logs in the Bedrock pack to have subsurface scattering like they do in Java, with all the previously ported logs lacking it. This also has been updated for consistency.

There are a couple gaps in this preview, for example I didn't realize until too late that I had completely forgotten the tops of the two nether logs, although those will be updated before the full 58 release. Speaking of the nether logs, there are currently no stripped nether log textures in the pack. This is because the current nether logs are using placeholder textures, so the stripped variants most likely will not receive textures until the main versions are replaced with proper textures.

Additionally, there is still no stripped pale oak log; although I intend to texture one alongside the stripped poplar log fairly soon.

Members with the 🧪 Pack Tester tier are able to download the preview for this update right now for Java & Bedrock by selecting it in the Download Hub:
