Hey!
Please check out the images above - in full-screen (there are a lot of details)
First, let's talk about YouTube: I've been thinking of starting to make videos again - but on a new channel with a different name. There is just so much weird MCPE stuff associated with "umsoea" now, that I'm actually kind of ashamed to still use this username.
Here are a few "survival-friendly" textures that made:

Hey!
Make sure to check out the images above - in fullscreen, there are a lots of details.
What I created:
Scaffolding:
You can climb it from the inside (ladder) - which is a bit more realistic than just clipping through the blocks like in default minecraft.
The model uses a lot random blockmodels/states which means you need to enable "Alternate Blocks" I'd recommend to have enabled for all of my other content ...

Hey,
First, a few Important Things for 2021:
You probably have noticed, I have paused the billing cycle for the last few months, and I'm planning to pause it more often in the future.
Why? Mainly because my content has changed quite a bit in the last ~year.
(Reminder for those who can't read: You only get charged at the end of the month, so you can always cancel your pledge if you are not interested in what I've ...

Hey!
Here are the first few final R17 screenshots - Finally I got to build and play around with the new content. We experimented a lot with various lighting setups and I think the new builds and screenshots turned out pretty nice. I built a large map for R17 which contains all the b...

Hey!
This is the last work-in-progress update of Release R17 - it's finished now.
R17 is a really heavy pack and is meant to be used as a standalone.
Here are the updates:
- I continued working on the crossbow, but things are a lot more complicated than expected (the animation part) I will most likely not include the ...

Hey!
I continued working on R17
Here are the changes:
- 3D Arches - Finally. no more 2D cutout models. (Note: The 3D ones only work on 1.14)
For compatibility and performance reasons I'll still leave the 2D arches in the pack - as an alternative. The 3D Arches are a lot heavier on performance - they are custom entity models made with the same technique as ...

Hey!
The content from Releases 1 to 14 is quite outdated by now.
Some of the Textures/Models even date back to PTGI E5 or 6.
What I have for you today: A completely reworked/adjusted version of the old "R14" Pack.
What did I change in the new "R1-14" Pack? (First of all: A less confusing name)
- Re-adjusted and restructured all Textures/Files.
Adjusted all the s...

Hey!
In my last post I showed you round arches, holes and other weird round shapes.
This time it's getting even weirder.
I found a way to make spheres and cylinders with resource-pack features only. They are reflective and look almost perfectly roun...

Hey!
This is not the final R16 update, I'm not satisfied with it yet and I'll add a few more things.
But you download the current Textures and the Map (download is at the bottom).

Hey!
Sorry for the delay. Had to finish my courses for this semester - I have holidays in a few days.
You guys seemed to like the Redstone-cable update and I created a few more highly detailed blockmodels. I couldn't finish them today - but I really wanted to post something before february starts. You can still download a work-in-pro...

Hey! I promised to release something before the end of the year. I have a few small but interesting things for you:
- Hotfix 4: Finally I could fix (some) Reflection bugs and issues with glowing blocks. Emerald Blocks and Redstone Lamps emit light properly now.
- 2048x Highlights Pack, containing the original files from: Enchanting table (+ 8K Book Texture), Gray Concrete, Stripped ...

Hey!
For this update I wanted to create textures with a focus on the diffuse texture. They still have PBR support but only to add some extra realism. Seus PTGI is still the only shader that's supported - but now I do not depend on it as much (shader-updates do not affect...

First, the general updates. Important! I recommend reading it.
- The last weeks/months have been very stressful for me, now the semester is over and I hope I have more time for this project!
- In the R7 update I attempted to create realistic nature. I struggeled a lot with all kinds of bugs, this delayed the update quite a lot... I'm not really satisfied with the results because the new stuff only looks good in certain lighting conditions/viewing angles - bu...

Hey!
In this post I'll talk about a few things that I'm currently unhappy with - and I'm not really sure how to solve them. I want to be transparent and I believe that - if I explained it properly - you will understand.
So, here's the back-story again:
Before I started creating stuff in Minecraft, I've used 3D software to create realistic renderings.
In 2018 I saw Sonic Ether's posts about his new path-traced Minecraft shader "PTGI" and I...
