Ozocraft Remix

Ozocraft Remix is a 32x32 fan updated texture pack picking up where the original Ozocraft left off around 1.14 (ish). As far back as I could remember, it has been my favorite "go to" resource pack as it provides a rustic feel that isn't overkill. This isn't a hyper realistic texture pack, it's a nice middle ground in a resolution that seems to be ignored. Updated textures and format corrections for the latest version of Minecraft are included, bringing the texture pack up to speed.

There are minor adjustments still to be made over time, but as of this release, it seems to be complete for this version. Some discrepancies may exist for newer items as I figure out how I'd like to address them. That being said, this is the custom pack that I personally use as my daily driver in Minecraft. Along with the typical updates and setup for Optifine features, I've included Better Trees. As of 1.20.4+ I've also included Xali's Enchanted Books for Optifine by default (to better differentiate magic books) as a QoL inclusion.

 Credits & FAQ

Credits

OZO (Original Pack) Dawn_TM (Updates) Aeonix Aeon (myself for recent parity)

John Smith Legacy and Faithful 32 textures are used to fill in blanks, Doku provided the running water (originally) along with some custom textures that I've made to match the original Ozocraft. If in the event that John Smith Legacy or Faithful clashes with the Ozocraft "feel", I redo the texture from scratch. The result is that this pack keeps the overall feel of Ozocraft while making it usable on more recent releases. Updates to this pack will come as I find time. As of 1.20.4+ The interface is a combination of JSL and Mythic in a custom mashup, without the embellishments.

As Ozocraft is effectively "abandonware", you have full permission to make updates yourself so long as you retain the proper credits. Effectively, Ozocraft Remix is for people who aren't "all in" for John Smith, Dokucraft or MYTHIC for being a bit overkill in embellishments. This is why it became the middle ground that many people came to love.

FAQ

Q: Why not just use John Smith Legacy, Doku or Mythic?

A: There used to be the option to customize the pack online, but that disappeared. While I love John Smith and (sometimes) Doku, the theme always seemed "off" to me with certain choices. So I've defaulted to a foundation of Ozocraft. Aside from that, I've noticed there aren't a lot of "balanced" rustic 32x texture packs. Call it a personal preference, but if John Smith Legacy, Doku or Mythic variations work for you, by all means run with it :)

Q: What about Osocraft Revival?

A: BreadWithWater and I are acquaintances and support each other's forks of this pack. His is more horror themed/darker. Ozocraft Remix is friendlier. Whichever one suits you better is your choice :)

Q: What are the changes?

A: Too many to list. But I worked on the Optifine settings, resized lamps for item frames (kept an updated default), made the Netherite tools and armor variations/ingots, Title screen, and countless other tweaks where John Smith or Faithful 32 didn't "look right" for the filler. It's still a WIP as I decide how to address some textures, but it's playable and keeps the overall feel of Ozocraft.

Q: Are you planning on supporting [insert mod here]?

A: Honestly, probably not. But if you're good with this stuff and know the mods, let's talk. I'm just a single person.

Q: What Happened to Dawn_TM?

A: She no longer plays Minecraft, and has a career in the industry. You can find her permission in the gallery to continue on this fork.

Note: Optifine/Iris features will only be present if Optifine/Iris is installed.

Q: Are you planning on Bedrock/PE Ports?

A: No, although 3rd Party ports to Bedrock and PE do exist.

 Release Schedule

Effectively, I play mostly on multiplayer servers (SurvivalLegends.serverminer.com). As such, I keep an update schedule with the server I play on. This usually means I'm behind the curve a bit for stability. When the multiplayer servers update, (meaning Forge, Optifine and mods) then I bring Ozocraft Remix up to speed. Technically you should be able to use this for 1.16 ->1.21+ but missing textures should be substituted by the defaults. This has been tested on 1.16 to 1.21 and seems to work fine. Just ignore that it says "incompatible". I would, however, suggest using Optifine or Fabric, as connected textures and other things are included by default as well as a few other tweaks.

Releases may be a little lagging because I work in the VR/AR industry and am swamped. But I still play Minecraft and make it a point to update the pack as I go.

 Donations

I'm not accepting any money for this pack, (It's free). I'll assume you have permission to continue updating/fork if you want so long as you aren't charging money for it and include proper credits. I'm sure we all have our own artistic interpretations and "styles". This "fork" is Ozocraft Remix. If you feel the need to support this pack, you can do so by donating to John Smith Legacy, Doku, MYTHIC or Faithful 32 if they are taking donations.

Ozocraft is a labor of love.
