Dear Patrons,

We would like to announce that Brixel Update 2.6 is now live! We recommend to download latest version of BSL Shaders, which is v8.2.

This month, we've been focusing on aspects that make the mining experience in Brixel more enjoyable. In addition to that, we've added new content, as well as some features requested by the fanbase. :) So, let's dive into details.

First of all, we've released Brixel Glowing Ores add-on! It adds emissive textures to the ore blocks, so that they glow in the dark! It makes mining more efficient, as the ores are easier to spot. This little addition is actually a separate resource pack that needs to be loaded together with the main Brixel resource pack (the add-on needs to be on top). You can find the add-on in the "Download-latest" section on Patreon. You can freely choose if you want to use this feature or not.

Since we are talking about mining - we've (finally!) added custom graphics for block breaking effects. They match with the Brixel aesthetics, resembling the little bricks being fractured and deformed.

Many people were asking if we are planning to add bricky water at some point. The time for that has come! :) We've been working on this feature for some time, testing different solutions. Most of them turned out to be too resource demanding, so we've decided to go with the same approach as for lava. We feel that it's consistent with the looks of the whole pack, and it still has the reflections and waves provided by the shader. Make sure to use the shader preset provided with the pack, as well as BSL Shaders v8.2.

We've also added a bunch of new assets in this update, like a brand new Amethyst Collection! It consists of Amethyst Blocks and custom modelled, glow-in-the dark Amethysts, in different stages! Be sure to check them out! We also introduce new blocks and items like Scaffoldings, Chains, Lecterns with Books, Hanging Roots, Blaze-related items and more. There are also new graphics for Experience Orbs.

In Lush Caves, you will now find the new Spore Blossom! If you take a closer look, you will notice that it emits small, bricky particles! :)

And one more thing - we recommend to test Brixel with the Physics Mod (which is available for free). The author has improved his mod lately, adding an option to fracture blocks in 4x4 grid. It fits perfectly for Brixel! The latest version of BSL Shaders (v8.2) is compatible with Physics mod.

And that's all when it comes to Brixel Update v2.6. We hope that you'll enjoy it! We are now heading back to our secret, Brixel-related projects, which are about to see daylight very soon!

Best regards,

Team Wabbabrick
