World Making The Gavel Resource Pack Optional

Wow, this is the first time I've ever used polls lol

While I am looking forward to the resource pack coming in Gavel, I noticed that some people on the forums lately are not looking forward to the resource pack due to the fact that some of the blocks don't look very good to them, and there's also the fact that the pack is required to play Wynncraft...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea 1
How 'bout splitting the Resource pack into 2, having all the custom weapons, custom mob models, and the items/inventory into 1, while having all the blocks on another side, this could allow for a "/toggle blocks" so that one can use their resource pack that adds blocks, while keeping the weapon skins and such, since I'm sure those are mandatory, the blocks themselves could be optional.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
But there's a problem

As we saw earlier in the stream, while Grian was talking, we saw *VILLAGER CENSORED* (If you watched the stream, you'll know what I mean, if you don't, PM me or something.....)

I don't really know the solution to this, is there some sort of workaround for this, is it possible for any builders to answer some non-spoiler questions about the resource pack so that we can think of a solution to this conundrum, anyone else have an idea?

EDIT: Wait!

This is a reply to someone asking if the pack is required or not, while Selvut does say that wooden planks will be a spear, if I'm looking at this correctly, maybe we can use my suggestion about splitting the pack into 2.....?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea 2
Making a /toggle command to completely remove the resource pack, but, as mentioned earlier, a wooden plank is used as a spear.

When using this /toggle command, it'll force the player to log out, and once the player logs back in, everything will be vanilla-textured, including the weapons, (Spears would be shovels, wands would be sticks, bows would be...... bows, daggers would be shears, just like it is right now), this idea would also allow for Wynn texture pack makers like @axii and @pale1 to use their textures.

I'm not sure how this would work in the coding side of things, but if Wynncraft has managed to make custom mobs without mods, then I'm sure this would be possible.

But, as @Gokatgo said, some builds would look really shit without the RP, there must be a workaround.... Hmm....
------------------------------------------------------------------

Constructive criticism is welcome and stuff, thank you for reading, I mainly made this suggestion for people who don't like the resource pack......

Other ideas:

Spoiler

"they can also release the texture pack to the public so we can edit it, if it is too much for them" - @Spoopx_1

 

they can also release the texture pack to the public so we can edit it, if it is too much work for them

 

*Changes model of crappy item* Hey guise i have the best wand in teh game [screenshots self holding item]

 

You would be the only person to see that item as the good item while everybody else would still see it as a bad item.

 

pretty sure he is just joking

 

Also in the resource pack options you can just put a resource pack for blocks above the wynn resource packs so you get the textures you want to see

 

That's an interesting idea, I've added it to the post.

I've also edited the suggestion a bit.

 

this is a good idea. +1 support

 

I've added a second idea to the post

Anyways, as I said, I hope some builders and GMs will answer some non-spoiler questions about the resource pack, so that we can find a solution.

 

Where are the questions?

 

The only problem I'd see with this, is that people would take the pack and claim it as their own.

Other than that, I really hope this is considered.

 

My biggest problem is that I don't see how they could make a command that would change all your weapons from blocks into sticks, bows, etc. I just don't understand how that's even possible

 

I think it would be great idea I watched the stream and i didn't like all the block types (trying not to spoil anything) so it would be nice if there would be a way to see only weapons cut-scenes (again no spoiling this is already released information and armor but the blocks would be vanilla

 

It's not

 

I don't know much about coding, but I'd assume it'd be just making 2 of every weapon, there's the 3D model weapons, and then there's the vanilla MC item weapons (shovel, stick, bow, etc.)

 

Well the main problem with only having weapons and stuff in the rp is that 3/4 of Gavel was built without it and only 1/4 was. So naturally we used new block textures for new building styles. Lets just saying for e.g (example not actual thing in RP) that pistons were changed to look like a new type of wood. We used that for houses(EXAMPLE not actual thing in RP) and players come across it you would see walls made of pistons..

 

how about just toggling blocks that haven't been remodeled to have another kind of use like dirt or grass blocks

 

Ah dang, that sucks, hopefully, there is a way to make the RP optional......

If there isn't, well, I hope the admins at least know that some players wish to have the Resource pack optional, which, I'm sure they do.

 

Maybe they could release 2 versions of the resourcepack.
-A version with all the re-textured items.
-A version which only has the re-textured weapons.

This way the player can choose between using only weapons re-textured, all items re-textured or the player could decide which items will be re-textured.

 

Server ressorce packs are always optional, although some things may look weird without it
