Console Aspects

This pack is made for people who play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition but want the brighter visuals of Legacy Console Edition. This pack changes beds, controller tooltips, sounds, and so much more to match the classic console versions. If you're a player who moved to Bedrock after Console Edition was discontinued, you'll love this pack!

==Notes==

  • The chat changes in this update are fully compatible with the VDX: Legacy Desktop UI and VDX: Legacy Console UI packs.
  • The default and classic texture additions in this update were extracted directly from PS4 Edition. They are not recreations; they are the exact textures.
  • The nautilus shell and fish textures added in this update are unique to PS4 Edition’s Classic Textures pack. They can be seen in this video: https://youtube.com/embed//xXsUxpYlCSk&t=215
  • The sweet berry bush generic death message can be seen in this video: https://youtube.com/embed//GR4EEw2q2CE&t=324. The poking sounds can be heard in this video: https://youtube.com/embed//e9kLmIg3-N0&t=1518
  • The bluish classic cactus textures can be seen in this video: https://youtube.com/embed//aloUPblAjJA&t=573
  • The classic shield texture on PS4 Edition is the same as the current shield texture on Bedrock and Java. 4J Studios swapped the default and classic shield textures. The updated texture while using Classic Textures can be seen in this video: https://youtube.com/embed//XFUx-Gaq1Yc&t=33
  • With the addition of PS Vita (and TV) tooltips, every version of Console Edition now has at least one set of controller tooltips in Console Aspects. Every platform also has its own title file. The New Nintendo 3DS Edition title has suffered slight compression, but all others are full quality.
  • The PS5 tooltips in this update are based on a combination of the PS4 Edition tooltips and the Bedrock PS5 tooltips. They match the DualSense Edge buttons.
  • Step sounds are broken on Bedrock by default. Most (but not all) mobs have a hard-coded 0.15x multiplier on their step sound. However, this multiplier does NOT affect the baby mob, which uses a separate step.baby sound, causing a disparity between the baby and adult step volumes. This update fixes all broken mobs. The mobs unaffected by this issue are the chicken, pig, parrot, silverfish, spider, cave spider, and all rideable mobs (camel, llama, horse, and variants). All other mobs, including hostile mobs, are affected.
  • The shading changes in this update are more complicated than old shading, so they are explained in detail below.
    • These changes are more subtle than light source shading from previous updates. The easiest way to see the new shading is to place a Sandstone block and a Sandstone double slab next to each other. With Aspects, they look identical, but without, the Sandstone block is brighter than the double slab.
    • The shading changes in this update are related to the “brightness_gamma” property in “blocks.json”, which defaults to 1.0. Modifying this does nothing in a resource pack or in the game files, but some blocks which have a “brightness_gamma” property in the default resources have incorrect shading in-game. A value below 1.0 results in lighter side shading and less intense ambient occlusion, while values above 1.0 result in the opposite.
    • Snow and nether brick-related blocks have unique “brightness_gamma” values, but the shading and ambient occlusion are identical to normal blocks in-game.
    • The “brightness_gamma” property does not appear in the 1.20 blocks.json file, yet suspicious sand has the same lightness as normal sand.
    • Obsidian is the only block to have a functional “brightness_gamma” above 1.0, which means it is darker than normal. This requires an entirely different fix than lighter blocks because adding an “overlay_color” in “terrain_texture.json” always darkens an image. It cannot brighten one.
    • To fix obsidian, the image must be layered over itself at least once using the Screen blend with different settings for each side. Unfortunately, this is not compatible with other texture packs:
      • bottom: Add two Screen blend layers (copies of the base texture) above the base layer. Decrease the top Screen layer opacity from 255 to 128. Flatten the image, then increase saturation from 100 to 106.
      • east_west: Add one Screen blend layer above the base layer. Flatten the image, then increase saturation from 100 to 106.
      • north_south: Add one Screen blend layer above the base layer. Decrease the top Screen layer opacity from 255 to 80.
    • Crying and glowing obsidian also have unique “brightness_gamma” values, but since these blocks are light sources, the “brightness_gamma” is ignored in-game.

Loving the pack! Although, it looks like the new chat feature is not working well within Hive though its just fine in singleplayer and the aternos server i play on. Is there something messing it up in Hive? it does not really show any messages and just blank ones

is it me or was it supposed to be named aspects missing texture patch?

The combination of Console Aspects and 4JD Console UI is just amazing (although the console UI is a bit buggy, I'm still waiting for the update). This texture pack brings me back to the good old days when I played minigames with my sister. I remember when she would scream every time she lost in the tumble minigame (tumble was the minigame we played because she was terrible at battle and glide). However, now there are hackers on the Wii U Minecraft servers. But still, it is very fun to hop on the Wii U from time to time to play Survival in a limited world. It really just never gets old! I recommend this pack, 5/5. Great work ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What will happen if I use Fidelity on mobile?
1
It should not crash anymore, but it will create large lag spikes when opening inventories. I don't recommend it.

Pretends to be a pack that makes Minecraft look like to nostalgic console edition but infact barely does anything
1
me when I don't read the feature list

(It is fair to say you don't see a difference in-game. It turns out, it's quite hard to make one game *feel* like another! But there are hundreds, thousands of differences. Many are sound-related. Many are old versions of current features: old Vex, old potion colors, outdated textures. Many more are small tweaks to animations, UI, and music. These small changes all add up to do their best at recreating a specific version of Minecraft released on a certain platform. If you would like to add Legacy UI, check out Legacy Console UI by CrisXolt, which is linked on this page!)

I love the old versions before 1.19. My favorites are 1.12.2, bet 1.5_01 and console edition!

Will u fix the map hands like the offhand one or the one with shield on? cause both of the hands are the bedrock ones and legacy ones was like java
1
Sadly, the position of the map is hard-coded in Bedrock, so I cannot move it. If I made the hands match Java/Console, the map wouldn't look right with them.
1
ok its fine cause it gives me the nostalgia when bedrock stuff wasnt screwed like now
u did a lot of fixed on this pack that i appreciate cause i know is a lot to do and time on it and bedrock feels like what it was with this pack
1
Could you make a different version of this one but only add the flat item pose plssss I really like this pack and.....idk
1
damn. this pack is long
