Whimscape

Whimscape

A fresh but familiar 16x16 pixel art look for Minecraft.

Whimscape is a crisp 16x16 pixel art look with a sprinkle of extra vibrance. It keeps things recognizable and for the most part close to Default in color.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Can you add support for [mod]?

For any mod with more than a few assets, I probably won't be able to get to it. The list of mods I'd like to support is ever-growing. For a popular mod with very few assets, or a mod that causes loading errors, open an issue on the tracker.

Can I port Whimscape to Bedrock/another game?

No.

Do you take commissions?

No.
