Hello, I was fascinated by the refreshed look this texture pack gives, but also realised that there are some things that could get fixed.
First off, the coal ore block looks like a black mess got splattered over it. That's probably because the dark lines next to the coal pieces look like parts of coal.
The copper block looks like a brick, it should instead be a polished metal block.
The water has its 'lines' very visible all on it, it should be smoother. Cotton looks like bubbles, it needs to be whiter.
Lastly, the HUD using the stamina mod has a line above the hearts with lit up cells. It looks like a battery percentage thing instead of something that is supposed to fit in.
The item bar selection icon also looks bad, it is light and poppy, with a contrasting dark background. It should be calmer.
Bonus: if you're planning to set up a git website to host your texture pack on there, so people can easily look at it and report problems, I recommend you stay away from propietary platforms like github, which is maintained by a generic big tech company, microsoft, which likes to insert malfeatures in its software (like spyware). There are free as in freedom/open source replacements such as codeberg, or probably nongnu savannah too.
Is it possible to 1) name all "acceptable" open source alternative and 2) is it possible on these sites to delete the account in the settings again, without asking support? Because on the propietary site github it is possible.
1) What do you mean by 'is it possible to name all "acceptable" open source alternatives"? Do you mean that I'm supposed to list more replacements? I'll research and list more if the maintainer doesn't deem those 2 good.
2) I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that under European law (so if you're in Europe), a website is legally required to be able to remove your account and all of its data. In codeberg, in the settings it has an option to remove it. I don't know about nongnu savannah, but I don't find any difficulty in contacting the website maintainers.
Hi @BlockAndPixelAge! Sorry for not responding early and thank you for your review and recommendations! I am working on a update with some fixes and compatibility with more mods (it will probably take some time!). I'll take all your points to consideration but please understand that maybe not everything you listed will be changed because I personally am okay with how some things are, at least for now...
About the git website, thank you for the warning about Github! I am looking into codeberg, but I am not a programer and I've never used git before, so I have to learn how it works hehe
Thank you for checking out my suggestions, and also considering free/libre git platforms. I don't think you actually don't need to be a programmer at all to operate a git website, it's just about clicking buttons, it's a GUI. Codeberg even has documentation if you scroll to bottom of website and click on text on left. I glanced over it, and they tell you to install git, but you may not want that since it's a commandline tool. However, they still talk about getting started through the GUI, and also sometimes present options if you wanna do something on the website or CLI.

Can you fix these? Thank you!
Question regarding the alterative sites.
Is it possible to 1) name all "acceptable" open source alternative and 2) is it possible on these sites to delete the account in the settings again, without asking support? Because on the propietary site github it is possible.
1) What do you mean by 'is it possible to name all "acceptable" open source alternatives"? Do you mean that I'm supposed to list more replacements? I'll research and list more if the maintainer doesn't deem those 2 good.

Well at least one more site, where I can create an Account. :D
Thanks you, helped me a lot in at least making one more Account. ;)
Well as long as contacting a website maintainer/support does not require a two-factor authentication cough github cough, it's all good.

@Mirtilo Not me, not me.
@NameNotQuality is the one you should respond to, look at the very first comment, it's not me.
I only had a question.
But last words from me regarding the Texture Pack itself. It feels familiar and new at the same time, and has it's own charm. ;)
Yea, look at first comment, @Mirtilo, it was me.
