I love it ! Different layouts depending for different ores, much easier to spot/recognize. Out of curiosity, why not MESE?

Mese has a unique look, I guess. Anyway, these textures are an improvement.

These look great!

What is the license on these textures? These are really pretty good.

license is cc0, i forgot to add this information, because i was on hurry

i also forgot, that you have to rename the textures (remove the "_new", i added this because i wanted to compare new and old ores)

Out of curiosity, why not MESE?

Mese had an unique texture before


there were a few things that gave me the idea to make new ore textures

1: mese had a good texture, but all other ones used one shape for every texture

2: sometimes it was hard to see the difference between ores
(for example tin and silver)
if the ore was in a darker spot, diamond looks a bit like tin or silver too and iron looks alike copper.

3: because of 1. the ores were unrealistic (for the new ores i watched real images of ores, for example real iron ore)

This should be merged in default.

Definitely. It looks much nicer.
