Megacraft Classic - Be the Block Bomber!
- By
Classic Mega Man games are known for their unique artwork. The painting with all the Mets is probably my favorite.
Mobs include Snolers, Skull Walkers, Mummiras, Robbits, Iron Balls, Poes, Big Tellys, and more!
Music is a different matter though. I put in so much of it that I had to spin it off into its own resource pack, which you can also download here. I only got a good amount of sounds replaced too since I had so little to work with.
It is recommended that you do NOT kill Rock if you meet him in person. His friends may not appreciate it.
See the 35 kinds of nether brick in this screenshot? Together they make this nether fortress look like a Wily fortress.
Doesn't the GUI make you feel like you're playing a fine classic of a game? It was originally rather plain in a way that was game-accurate, but I got tired of that and revamped it. As great as 9 and 10 were, staying in 8-bit just limits Mega Man's potentia
One important change in 1.9 is that I finally fixed the vignette.png that everyone didn't like. It's now spread out to the edges of the screen so it isn't distracting.
New in 1.9: Sentry Shells and Copy Robots! They even walk around trying to recruit for Wily's army.
Battontons continue their tradition of appearing in inconvenient spots when you're trying to mine resources or stop other mobs from tearing your face off.
Unlike, say, the New Super Mario Bros. series, every Mega Man game has a unique look. No two levels are ever the same, and I strove to convey that by giving every single block a unique texture even where the vanilla resource pack doesn't.
I scoured every game for the smallest of details that were worth adapting.
Check out where some of this resource pack's textures came from. A lot of recoloring and editing was involved; this was not a lazy copy-and-paste job.
I thoroughly exploited Minecraft 1.8's new randomized texture feature. Many individual blocks have quite a few variations in their graphics and animations, some more subtle than others.
This is a complete retexturing. Every block, every item, every mob, every color map, every splash message on the title screen, and every environmental factor has been overhauled.
Sadly, your dog will not allow you to bypass traps and hazards, unless, perhaps, you're an absolute monster. But you'll at least be able to brew E-Tanks.
Retexturing all the items was probably the hardest part. I worked on them gradually, doing a few more with each new release, until suddenly they were all done. Boy was I glad there were 10 main games and even more side games to mine for resources.
Good grief, I've been working on this pack for over three years now.
Description
In the year 199X, a young user named The Creature Keeper (or CK20XX for short(?)) bought... oh, forget it. Just watch the video. It tells the story better than I can with text.
Megacraft Classic is a complete, definitive Mega Man themed resource pack for Minecraft. EVERYTHING has been modified, including blocks, items, foliage gradients, the End Poem, and... a good handful of sounds. OK, so it's not literally everything, but some of the more noteworthy features include:
- A HUD combining elements from all over the franchise, such as arcade-style energy meters, weapon panels containing your inventory, and a power meter to contain the energy from all the P Chips you collect!
- A custom font based off of Mega Man 6! (The font from 9 and 10 was far too wide and would always force text out of bounds.)
- A custom language file: English (Mega Man)! You have to manually activate it in the game options though, so don't forget to do that!
- Arm yourself with a Mega Buster and many special weapons like the Deep Digger, Super Arm, Leaf Shield, Rolling Cutter, and even the Wire Adapter!
- Work with electronics! Salvage circuit boards from buried scrap heaps, craft computer monitors that flash with streams of data, and watch redstone torches spark with power!
- Testificates that look better and may also be less annoying than the default ones!
- Equip your horse with a seat cushion and three different kinds of Rush adapters!
- Sound effects from all over the franchise! Feel yourself power-up as you eat, get a warning beep before something explosive goes off, and sound like Hard Man when you take a long dive into solid ground!
- Destroy holographic aliens, collect their cores, and use them to defeat the Mecha Dragon and claim Gemini Man's lair as your own personal pocket dimension!
- Megatunes! The game world music consists of classic compositions and the records contain the best of fan remixes! Take a look at the track list in the resource pack's "record" folder!
