A Brush More Colour is a texture pack I made for the video game Minecraft. Once downloaded and installed, the texture pack changes all the visual elements within the game (textures) to the ones I had created. I started work on it during the Christmas holidays of 2014 and for the following 8 months I released weekly updates to the Minecraft community. Currently the texture pack has enjoyed over 33,000 downloads.

 

The goal of the texture pack was first, to improve the visual fidelity of Minecraft. I increased the pixel resolution from the defualt 16px to 32px as I felt the 32px gave texture pack artists better control of their designs whilst maintaining the retro blocky look associated with Minecraft. The second goal was to make the game look more playful and vibrant. The game's look I felt, didn't match the kind of experience I had whilst playing it. So I aimed to rectify that.
