This is a place for all unhappy people who are really annoyed with some textures. I have seen another post about papyrus, and now I'm starting one about bricks.

Feel free to add comments.

I do not like the new texture because it does not tile well like the original. If you check in-game how it looks you will see what I mean.

Hmm, The first and third row of bricks in the texture (from the top) have two long bricks. This means that if you stack two of them side by side, you'll get about 0.5+1+.0.5=2 bricks on the first and third line, but 0.5+1+1+1+0.5=4 bricks on the second and third. That looks weird.

I suggest you use the old layout for the brick placement.

Seeing larger walls or an entire building with this new texture might help. In general, I'm comftable with the current brick texture. The older one was too bright. Coloredbricks also has some very nice brick textures.

Tiling is a very pesky thing. While blocks may look good with some textures the stairs may look strange example: The original brick texture in my texture pack.

Yes, I apologize. That wasn't the final, I am working on a final texture. Edit, heck here is the layout:

it is a better textured set of bricks.

I would like to add this texture to Minetest+. What's the license?
