 * * ASHEN for MC 1.21 * *
     release v1.7

	- Thanks for checking out Ashen. This pack is still in its early stages, and will likely see a revamp of many of its
		textures at some point (animated textures like lava, water, and seagrass are particularly likely to be redone
		eventually). This is my first real foray into pixel art and pack work, so much will likely change as my own
		skills and techniques evolve. If you have any feedback, please don't hesitate to drop me a line on the 
		project's Curseforge, Modrinth, or PlanetMinecraft pages, or the pack's Discord server: https://discord.gg/yuwrZQpGDk

	- This pack is mostly intended to respect Vanilla Minecraft's fantasy style, but with my own approach to it. I try to
		reserve more high-fantasy textures for otherworldly blocks and concepts -- anything relating to the Nether, 
		for instance, is intended to read as more alien than overworld blocks, which I hope to keep more "down-to-earth." 


 * * Add-Ons & Optional Features * *

	- In addition to the main Ashen pack, I've also created some extras to allow users to tailor their experience a bit more to 
		their own preferences. Each of these packs should be placed *above* Ashen in your Resource Pack load order. I've 
		included a brief outline below of the current add-on packs, as well as plans I have for future addons.

			* Autumn Forest [Resource pack; compatible with MC 1.21]
				- This pack adds a number of biome-specific textures for certain plants and leaves. Most notably,
					it recolors birch leaves in Birch Forests and Taigas to be golden, like quaking aspen trees.
					If you've played Skyrim, think of the trees in the Rift. It also changes some flowers in
					colder biomes to Lupines (mostly replacing Poppies, as well as Alliums in Meadows biomes).
					Most leaves (Oak, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, and Mangrove) are recolored to be red in several
					biomes, further building on the Autumn theme. Most of this add-on's features depend on CTM,
					meaning you'll need a mod like Optifine or Continuity+Colormatic/Polytone/Vanadium to get 
					the most out of the Add-On.

			* Simple Foliage [Resource pack; compatible with MC 1.21]
				- Since Ashen's "bushy" leaves may not be everyone's cup of tea (and aren't exactly compatible with
					Fast Graphics), the Simple Foliage add-on reverts the leaves to Vanilla-style leaf models.
					This pack is fully compatible with the Autumn Forest add-on, and the order in which you 
					load them doesn't seem to matter (at least as far as my testing has shown). 

			* Custom Mobs [Resource pack; compatible with MC 1.21]
				- When I initially released Ashen, it included custom models for Sheep, Chickens, and Endermen for use
					with Optifine or equivalent. However, this meant the pack was incompatible with Fresh__LX's
					Fresh Animations resource pack, which many people use. To make sure Ashen can be more plainly
					compatible with Fresh Animations, I've split my custom mob models off into a separate Add-On
					pack for people who want them and don't use Fresh Animations. Currently mobs affected:
						- Sheep
						- Chickens
						- Cows
						- Mushrooms
						- Pigs
						- Husks
						- Endermen
						- Withers
						- Blazes

			* Custom Mobs x Fresh Animations [Resource pack; compatible with MC 1.21]
				- Bundles the custom mob models from Ashen Custom Mobs for use with Fresh__LX's Fresh Animations. 
					
			* Vanilla-Style Scaffolding [Resource pack; compatible with MC 1.21]
				- Reverts the scaffolding models to the vanilla models, disabling the table models Ashen normally implements.

			* Simple Glass [Resource pack; compatible with MC 1.21]
				- Simplifies Ashen's glass textures to a more vanilla-friendly style.

			* Emissive Ores [Resource pack; compatible with MC 1.21]
				- Adds emissive (glowing) textures to all ores without the need for shaders. Requires Optifine or equivalent.

			* Mod Compatibility [Resource pack; compatible with MC 1.21]
				- Adds support for a (slowly) growing list of community mods. If you'd like to request a mod be added to the
					list, drop me a line in Discord. Current mods supported:
						- Appleskin [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/appleskin]
						- Incendium (limited support) [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/incendium]
						- Inmis [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/inmis]
						- LevelZ [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/levelz]
							- PartyAddon [https://modrinth.com/mod/partyaddon]
							- JobsAddon [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/jobsaddon]
						- LibZ [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/libz]
						- Regions Unexplored (limited support) [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/regions-unexplored]
						- Trinkets [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/trinkets]

 * * Disclaimers & Troubleshooting * *

	- I have taken a good chunk of inspiration from Maffhew's "Excalibur" (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/excalibur),
		Stitch's "Faithless" (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/faithless), and Jicklus's, well, "Jicklus" 
		(https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/jicklus). Go check them out, they're all fantastic packs by great people.
		My original inspiration, though, was Rhodox's "Painterly Pack," which was my go-to texture pack when I first started playing 
		the game back in 2011. Unfortunately, Rhodox's site has since closed down, so the pack is no longer really available. 
		To my mind, it was a classic.
		Pour one out.

	- This pack is intended to be used alongside Fancy Graphics. If your bushy leaves appear dark and lack transparency/detail,
		this is a result of Fast Graphics. If you can't use Fancy Graphics, or if you do not want to have "bushy" leaves,
		please use Ashen Simple Foliage. Place this above Ashen in your load order to revert the leaf blocks to their Vanilla-style 
		models. These models will still retain their random rotation and variants.
