Seriously having a full bright red and yellow block set would have been so useful now they are just super desaturated.

    There were people who complained that brightly colored blocks are harder to incorporate into builds.

    If Mojang catered to them every time new blocks were added we wouldn’t have stuff like Crimson, Warped, or Cherry wood or literally anything that doesn’t explicitly fit with “sophisticated“ Spruce or Deepslate builds.

    Cinnabar is now too similar to Mangove and Sulfur is too similar to Endstone.

  2. The surrounding environment of the blocks has a huge effect on how they are perceived, of course they’re gonna look desaturated if you place them surrounded by very bright blocks. I bet they would look like the first picture if you were to place them in a cave

  3. Sulfur looked way too much like gold before. Now it’s a nice in-between gold and sandstone

  4. I would prefer the middle of the two. They were too bright the first time but now they’re way to dull.

  5. I kind like it imo this game is in dire need of more beige blocks I always think this when trying to build European stuff . I have also being craving a beige dye since basically forever but I know they won’t do that

    I fucking love it lol. People bitched and moaned that they were too bright and saturated now that they desaturated it and toned it down now people are going to bitch and moan that they’re now less bright and desaturated. They literally cannot win.

    I personally dont like using saturated blocks in Minecraft because it always looks out of place to me.

  8. I really like the new colors… More realistic and goes everywhere, the old ones were way too saturated

    First, it was catsup- and mustard-coloured; now, ’tis p*ss- and blood-coloured!

  10. 100% sure or is it Vibrant Visuals vs Vanilla shaders? Vibrant tends to change colors wildly

    I am very disappointed. I really liked the idea of using sulfur as gold bricks, and cinnabar… I didn’t have any specific plans for it, but I really liked how it looked.

    Sulfur just looks like sandstone and endstone. It doesn’t look bad per say, but it looks boring, and it’s new colour already exists in the game, with very similar textures (the bricks look like endstone bricks, and the polished just kinda looks like cut sandstone.)

    I really liked that they were shiny, I thought they looked like pained metal. Now they look a lot more stony, which is accurate but very boring.

    They absolutely did not, imo. Now these blocks are actually useful. What would you have even used the other ones for? Making a McDonalds?

    Is a shame the ketchup and mustard combo was one thing I was looking forward to.

    That’s the main problem when it comes to listening to the community; you don’t know which part of the community you want to please.

  15. The look like a mix between sandstone and end stone. They’ll probably blend a lot better, but having them pop more would be nice.

    idk why but the polished sulfur wall reminds me of CS 1.6 Dust II walls now

  17. I think they can work with mangrove after seeing them in person they don’t work as well as I thought, I think it would be better if they could somehow balance them in the middle between a brighter red like the original and something like mangrove because they look a bit too pink and a little desaturated, that way we get the best of both worlds

    Although as a builder I need a wall close to mangrove, I literally need this rn

  18. I think people complained that the colors were too close to stripped bamboo and mangrove in color. I don’t care for the change. But I can see why they did it

  19. I actually love these now. I’ve always wanted a sandstone color for bricks (cause real castles are built like that) and never had a good block. These are perfect for that.
