I don't just want to update Coterie Craft, I want it to return in a big and grand noticable way. When the pack gets updated I want it to have the type of content seen in other great vanilla+ packs. I feel that Quandary and early Coterie Craft are good but rendered obsolete and outdated by Mizunos in terms of atmosphere and Faithless in terms of GUI which I want to emulate without doing plagiarism or stealing textures. It also doesn't offer anything new unlike Vanilla Enhancements or New Default +. So these two packs simply aren't as popular as the old beta 1.7.3 days. Why use one of the generic default revamps when you can use a texture mod like Stay True that enhances vanilla.

The original idea was to revive Coterei Craft in HD, but decided against it. Why not HD? Because HD in my eyes is terrible and bad for modded Minecraft (with 10,000x textures) unless you have a large community like Sphax or Faithful 32x that actively has users who work together to make every texture work with mods. Even smaller big texture packs like Soartex can't get every texture.

In Beta 1.7.3, all you had to do was make an HD texture pack add shaders using realistic textures and that would equal views or make a low effort Doku remix with Yogscast in the name.With the success of Mizunos, Faithless, Stay True and other masterpieces that era is long gone and thank god. As much people want the old beta 1.7.3 texture pack scene back, the reality is that what the modern game offers at least in terms of texture packs is far superior when you look for the right content.

What I want to make isn't making every asset from nothing for 3rd+ time in a row, but actually giving people to use Coterie Craft (and it's three themes) over any generic Default enhancement pack. You should ask what do these packs do that other texture packs don't. Faithless has some of the best UI in the current scene with Gleam Things as a close competitor. Stay True offers 100s of foliage textures and is often liked by the modded community and included in some mod packs as an optional pack. Mzunos offers really good CIT textures. New Default + adds in content from Minecraft Dungeons to the base game as skins.

These are all great texture packs and would easily recommend them.

Both Quandary and Coterie Craft will get revamped to look more like modern 16x texture packs. Quandary will go for a dark and dusty feel but not gloomy like Isabella and will be renamed to Coterie Craft Dustbloom. Dustbloom will not be the same as mobs and font are likely going to get revamped. It will not be faithful to the original Quandary pack, however it will not be a overhaul either, just the same pack from Minecraft Alpha but with tweaks where they are needed. Regular Coterie Craft will be renamed to Coterie Craft Lushbloom. Both of these packs aim to take default to the next level. The old version will be named Coterie Craft Legacy and Frontier goes into the alternative textures pile. What would you like to see improved in the Quandary pack and Coterie Craft?

Planned Features For Updates (These won't happen all at once, it will just be block and item revamp + Biome Revamp):
-Revamp blocks that are too plain
-Keep everything in Quandary the same except for the blocks that need changes (ie. Concrete Powder being a recolor of sand, Diamond just being a bogus gradient).
-Old tool sprites are back, but Gregtech and mods that are similar to Tinkers Construct but updated for 1.20 /1.21 get fancy RPG textures.
-More vibrant foliage textures
-Emissive textures (I won't make the all the ores emissive as that would ruin the challenge of the game).
-Integrate biome textures into the Optifine folder (Cube Textures and New Default+ can use biomes to produce new blocks)
-Item Sprite Revamp and Platte changes
-Variant textures in the style of Stay True, but not Jappa's textures
-New coral textures that look original
-New and original CIT Models
-Merge the Seasons into Optifine content by de-saturating the grasscolor.png in the base game while not harming the functionality of biomes. This is done to have more control over the grass textures. (Currently almost finished, the actual flower sprites are next)
-CET for each revamped biome with new mobs that are reskins of existing mobs.
-Animated Grass texture
-Butterflies added in the texture pack
-CTM improvements
-New Elytra Textures
-Orginal armor, paintings, and Elytra textures that are based on popular mods and content creators. (Currently have added my old Junkboy Paintings to the pack)
-Optifine Additions inspired by Minecraft Newbies and others.
-Texture the entirety of the Aether Mod and Gregtech (but not the whole of a Gregtech Modpack).
-Create more armor sets for other mod texture artists to use so I don't see the same recolored ores and armors whenever someone ports my pack to something like Minetest.
-Rework Armor to work with Trims
-Optifine / Polytone Alts for modded textures.
