Programmer Art+

What is it?
Programmer Art+ is a texture pack that aims to bridge the gap between Programmer Art and the newer textures added into Minecraft.

Are you a nostalgic fan of Minecraft since the early days, and disliked the 'smoother', newer textures added into Minecraft in the 1.14 Texture Update? Perhaps you want to check out what that weird native 'Programmer Art' resource pack was about? Maybe you just like the best of both worlds? An issue you're sure to have run into is with all blocks and items added after the Texture Update; they don't match! Suddenly, Nylium clashes with Netherrack, Soul Soil and Soul Sand look nothing alike, and all the new blocks added in 1.17 just don't fit right!

Worry no more! Programmer Art+ helps bridge the gap by making blocks look more like their classic counterparts

What has been changed?
Made blocks that 're-use' textures 're-use' the old textures, such as:
Nylium's netherrack texture
Respawn Anchor's obsidian texture
Deepslate Ores
Honey Bottle's glass bottle texture
Buckets of fish, axolotls and powder snow's bucket textures
Warped and Crimson signs
Nether Gold Ore now looks more like normal gold ore
Warped Fungus on a stick now uses the old fishing rod texture

Overhauled the look of some new blocks, such as:
Copper Ore now looks like the 'classic' ores.
Soul Soil now looks more like a Soul Sand dirt equivalent than a weird wavy pattern
Calcite, Tuff and Smooth Basalt now look closer to Programmer Art
Deepslate and it's variants have received a completely new texture in the Programmer Art style
Quartz Bricks now look more like Stone Bricks
Respawn Anchors now have a slightly updated glowstone texture


Changed the look of some new items, such as:
Netherite and Copper Ingots now look closer to Gold and Iron Ingots
Leather Horse Armour now looks like the other horse armours
Netherite Tools/Weapons now look closer to standard tools and weapons
Raw Ores now look closer to the Programmer Art style
Iron Nuggets now look more like Gold Nuggets


Re-added some old textures and sounds, such as:
Poppies now look like Roses, and use their name.
Lava will sometimes use the 'old' Lava sound alongside the new.
'Cat' will sometimes play 'Dog' instead.
Zombified Piglins now look a little more like Zombie Pigmen

A brief history:
Programmer Art+ originally started out as a simple texture pack made in 1.15 designed to fix Honey Bottles. I realised that Honey Bottles' texture was the same as 1.14's new glass bottles, while I had been using Programmer Art, which causes bottles to suddenly morph and change into a new texture instead of looking like a filled bottle. This is why the icon for the texture pack uses the 'new' honey bottle texture, as an homage to where it all started.
