Part of me would love to be able to go back and use the old textures (like a texture pack in Minecraft) I really loved the vibrant colors, the deep blue gleam and the leaves…

yea new new ones are alot more sudued
For me some of the old textures looked a little too similar to Minecraft for my liking (sorry, just my opinion) - at least on some of the images I have seen online. Certainly not leaves and gleam, but things like Stone, Grass, Gravel, Timber, Glass, Lamps etc.
The more distance the devs can put between B< (ok, so I started adopting this term) and MC the better - that way there will be less comparison for potential new gamers to make and they’ll see it as a completely different game in it’s own right (which we all know that it is!).

Maybe an option to switch between the new and old…when u feel nostalgic (or want super bright colors and simple textures) 
that is the suggestion to switch from new to old or choose juts some old textures and still have new ones too

Yeah, the previous leaves look better IMO (simplicity). Though, there was talk of removing the cube (so that it’s just transparent w/ leaves). I suspect they’ll look a lot better then.
Can’t find a link to back that claim up, though

I don’t think you’ll find one, doing so would be a huge performance drain, those solid non-transparent parts of the leaf block keep performance sane.

How’d you guys handle it with the old style leaf?
the original leaves only had max 6 per block, current have more like 60 quads per block 
the solid centre makes that doable.

Ha, fair enough
Hmm, crazy idea: only show a solid center for blocks that are further from the camera, or already have other leaf blocks visually covering them? My graphics newb self has no idea on the perf implications of that, though (ray casting?)
The main reason for a solid centre, beyond performance is that it hides the fact that a huge pile of leaf blocks… is actually completely hollow inside and can be seen through if not solid on the edges.

well what do you say about having the power to enable the old textures again
Personally I’d rather spend the time/resources on more important features
But much like any other asset in the game currently, you can technically go and modify the asset on disk to whatever you want.

But will that maybe a future update if you have like nothing to do or something
Didnt some of you also mention that you completely revamped the way texture mapping works on the blocks? would you even be able to use the old textures?
also i personally think we shouldnt have the old textures, the new ones are so much better.

you could replace the textures used in game with the old ones, but you’d need to to fill in a specular/emissive/normal map for them with some default, so you’d get the old textures but everything would be totally flat/un-shiny/un-glowy etc.

But that wouldent be the same thing
