In fact there was a source map that used his textures and some people put up a fuss over it, while notch simply shared a link to it because he thought it was nifty. I think its a technicality, but I'm almost certain that notch doesn't actually care about people including his textures in their files. I say this because the original texture files are freely available for download via minecrafts wiki and forums. I'm pretty sure that the MC textures are not banned from distribution. Inside you will find additional blends (stairs, slabs, fences, pistons, etc) and last I checked at least one guy had picked up the blend where I left off, merging everything into one and adding new items. I have pretty much dropped updating this blend, too busy. you can see a render with normals enabled here: I would also suggest toggling the normals on the textures as that gives everything a really minecraftish blocky feel.
I've also made this available on the official minecraft forums, but I thought maybe there would also be one or two people over here who would get some fun out of this.Īll the characters are rigged, light emitting blocks are spitting out the appropriate amount of light, etc. And if you also like to do a little blending on the side, then you might enjoy this file. If you're a dork like me, then you may enjoy an occasional game of minecraft.
