As a halo player, the sniffer being a forklift is the best thing I've ever seen and brings me extreme joy.

[@Coolouie]

"Help, my forklift is sniffing the ground!"

[@blackberrythefox117]

We got two forklift sniffers and it's amazing (city has one as well)

[@tylerferrel3965]

seen this before watching thaught he was a actual forklift not the forerunner honest mistake of auto corrects fault

[@jaredkinneyjr]

Do a video on the Better Minecraft modpack & how fan developers have managed to do things Mojang can't or won't. The Better Minecraft mod does so many things that most of us believe should be in 15yr old Minecraft such as body on death that holds items until collected, inventory management solved(backpacks & such), many block variations & innovations, many different generating structures making the world feel alive, different dimensions to name only a few. I feel as tho Mojang are not very good developers or talented at all, they are just corporate lackies. It is a shame really after looking at all that Better Minecraft has to offer. Would make such a good video. "Why Better Minecraft is Better...or is it?"

[@megamegaO]

​@@blackberrythefox117 The city one was a bus

[@Jbush69]

The fact the warden is a deathclaw is amazing

[@toycat]

Exactly! Love the genuine affection they seem to have for these source IPs

[@toxictalen4204]

Indeed it fits so perfectly. And I find the Warden being a Troll for the Skyrim Pack is amazing as well

[@oneguy118]

I love toycat's transitions that make no sense, "Speaking of the Enderdragon, this is a chest boat!"

[@Bulblorb]

true

[@Nightcaat]

This is something really impressive that Java players don’t usually think about. Nice vid :-)

[@magmamusic2348]

As a Java player, Bedrock is amazing and has some rich history! I enjoy seeing stuff like this from Minecraft history being archived and updated to this day

[@ross3695_basedhax]

I miss these textures on Legacy I use to buy all the packs they were so worth it

[@fredly5795]

Aw man, I wish the festive mash-up pack would be updated like the Halloween pack... At least it got one for caves and cliffs, so it's not that bad

[@Wulfgangus]

Yeah! Especially because C418 worked on it!

[@Yezpahr]

lol that "I hope I was recording" always hits nice, almost felt a secondhand panic skin tingling sensation from your short moment of uncertainty haha.

[@toycat]

it's sad that you don't get to hear it when it's actually true though

[@Foxy_VR_gaming]

Sadly looks like the little big planet pack is discontinued like the lbp servers 😭

[@ginova0817]

:(

[@toycat]

Darn, thanks for checking!

[@user-xn1pl4ym2y]

This isn’t true, the LittleBigPlanet textures are up to date as of 1.20 although no new textures have been made for 1.20.8 as of yet.

[@rgamesofficial1]

I've heard the LBP pack's been updated to 1.21, so I guess that means the series gets more attention from a Microsoft-owned game compared to Sony themselves nowadays (which is a bit sad to me).

[@vogonp4287]

I wish that 4J's tutorial worlds were in Bedrock.

[@magmamusic2348]

Can't someone just make them on the marketplace for free?

[@mcpoyolifereplay3174]

​@@magmamusic2348No that's stealing. So they can't even if they want.

[@Swole_Gecko]

not if 4J themselves do it ​@@mcpoyolifereplay3174

[@AgentMS]

So happy to see King Midas as the Warden in Greek Mythology. Whoever thought of that is amazing.

[@Kerballistic]

This really goes to show how 4J had a passion for this and loved doing it, even still updating their old work when they aren't required to

[@galvatron3911]

“Very creeper like” that made me giggle

[@SophieHawkins.sh1]

I miss the days of 4J. Expeccially the tutorial worlds! :(

[@toycat]

I have something fun planned for the anniversary tomorrow :)

[@samuel-wankenobi]

They should have put the tutorial worlds on the marketplace

[@artifactU]

i wish they let 4j keep making tutorial worlds

[@hannahrose_ovo]

Feel bad for all the ones which got discontinued. I wounder for any of these if there could be updates by the community instead like some texture packs on java got spiritual successors.

[@Un_pelican_pe_varf_de_munte]

They will update them dont worry

[@manic221]

Shame that the current mash-up packs do not include texture packs anymore. I would love a texture pack for the Avatar mashup as some of the textures in that are really nice and would like to jump into creative with them.

[@TheMiningCrafter]

I believe what’s going on with the Recovery Compass is (based off some of my experience with making resource packs) they were trying to make the flipbook textures have a 2-texture wide base, but never put it into the the animation formatting JSON so it just was read as a 32x flipbook texture rather than a 16x one. Still doesn’t explain why one texture is centered on the item frame though. TL;DR Recovery compass is weird because people formatted the JSON file wrong.

[@Patolagos]

I literally just bought the Fallout- err... "Vault-Tec" Mash-Up pack today and I didn't even consider whether or not they had updated it for new versions. Upon checking it on the Wasteland world, I was relieved once I saw how the Armadillos had been updated!

[@magmamusic2348]

It's so cool 4J still updates these. Shows they really do love the game and still care about it

[@pout6038]

it's really a shame that some of these packs were seemingly discontinued. Especially the cartoon one. The 4J packs are some of the best texture packs i'd say. also, it's been so long since a toycat "all update features in all texture packs" video.

[@Fires_Stuff]

17:58 that’s a scarab tank if I’ve ever seen one, and the warden is the didact

[@AgentMS]

The warden is definitely Warden Eternal

[@orius03]

One great thing about the console packs was that you could skin your game without buying it and preview it, but you couldn't save the game. This way you could take a look at it and decide if you wanted it. In general, I think 4J's work got better over time; the earlier packs tend to have 16x16 textures and there's not a lot of good depth or detail to them, while the later ones go 32x32 and have much better detail. The ones I dislike usually have a lot of unusual textures which makes it hard to know what you're looking at, Mass Effect, the holiday packs and the cutesy ones are the biggest offenders here. The GUI also matters too, some packs have GUI colors and/or designs that make it hard to tell what you're looking at. But it's good to see some of these packs getting upgrades since it maintains value for them. The mythology mashups were definitely some of the best, with Greek and Norse the best of the four. Norse in particular is really good, and lends itself well to a fantasy look. Skyrim has a similar aesthetic (fantasy Vikings, so it figures), but it's an older pack with low resolution and muted colors, and Norse Mythology just has better resolution, depth and color. Egyptian is pretty good too, though it doesn't look good for cold biomes, the color palette used for them is too warm. Chinese is the weakest of the four unfortunately which is a shame because it has a nice custom world, but the textures are older and don't have the detail of 4J's later work. Pirates of the Caribbean was better than I expected it to be, because licenced properties are often crappy in video games, but it's not bad at all. It seems like the sort of texture pack where you have to build with it specifically instead of slapping it on an existing world. City and Natural are the two best texture packs with Fantasy coming in a bit behind. Fantasy's biggest flaw is that there's a lot of gilding detail on some of the blocks and that gets a bit gaudy.

15:41 ‘1.19 is looking delicious over here’ - Toycat 2024

[@quisait5794]

That King Midas Warden is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen

[@Genegr]

the fact that they update these yet couldn't be bothered to lift a finger for us programmer art users is criminal

[@SgtPineBox]

The Halloween mashup removed the custom sky and the sun is too bright to see its texture

[@absolutezero9507]

Toycat, have you ever tried playing with texture packs that make bedrock more like console edition?

[@LlamaLogic]

Having the Warden as a Deathclaw and the pots at Nukacola bottles are some of the best ideas I've seen so far

[@lillyy256]

this just shows how much 4J still cares about the community and their content, I'm so excited for that new game if they put this much work into side stuff they aren't even officially contracted for anymore

[@Americanbadashh]

"Hope I was recording ... oh thank god I was" Glad you keep this bit in, very human

[@really-real-t-series-not-fake]

Love how adventure time warden is the lich that goes insanely hard

[@megavsprime]

Imagine 4J making add-ons. It would be insane!

[@AgentMS]

They made a few maps like Seasons in the City! I played it a few years back. They stopped after a while.

[@rusticbb8]

i’ve had notice for awhile that all these packs do update just slowly over time and randomly i don’t think it’s any big teams i just think people are doing it when they can

[@fredmcfall4283]

That'd make sense

[@corbin5392]

I still often use the fantasy textures on my realm. I love the feel and it reminds me of my favorite battle minigame maps. This is a great video!

[@sephirothangel2202]

Still prefer the 4J Studios console version it was just so much fun 🤩

[@EnderBoy_11]

For those of you who wanted it, here is every pack that is still being updated: 0:48 Plastic Texture Pack 2:15 Natural Texture Pack 9:52 Fantasy Texture Pack 12:48 City Texture Pack 15:05 Candy Texture Pack 16:35 Master Chief (Halo) Mash Up 24:17 Greek Mythology Mash Up 25:42 Halloween Mash Up 28:32 Super Mario Mash Up 30:03 Vault-Tec (Fallout) Mash Up 32:02 Adventure Time Mash Up 32:52 Norse Mythology Mash Up 34:50 Pirates Of The Caribbean Mash Up 35:58 Nightmare Before Christmas Mash Up 36:51 Super Cute Texture Pack 39:33 Toy Story Mash Up You’re welcome.

[@FenrirInFlowers]

I've always loved the mythology packs. I used to play with Norse Mythology on one of my worlds in 1.18, where I sailed around everywhere like a viking. Really hope they decide to still go back to do Egyptian and Chinese, as I've always adored how they incorporated the mythology into the game in those.

[@Ciguato]

I love exploring the Mario pack every update

[@vaalni]

28:50 I LOVE THE FAT WIGGLER IM CRYING

[@mrmrwayne9850]

THEY STILL UPDATE THE PACKS?! im downloading all of them. This is gonna be 1 nostalgic trip

[@HiWelcomeToIKEA]

12:24 ah yes, my favorite mob from the hit game minecraft

[@maximillion322]

The Sniffer in the Adventure time pack is modeled after the Party God, and I think that’s amazing

[@MISTER__OWL]

4J really leads the industry in quality of textures.

[@rascal016]

I love them turning the warden into the Troll for the skyrim texture pack, truly one of the most terrifying creatures in skyrim, that thing has the ability to one-shot you fully armored if youre not careful

[@harmagedonFR]

Thé waerden in Halo pack IS the final boss of halo4, for halloween the pigmen was sanako before and now it's just a sick pigmen...

[@tobey7246]

Oh man, is Pattern supposed to resemble Viva Pinata? That's amazing. That texture pack outlived Viva Pinata.

[@s7ormyreal]

in nitpicking, but the text at 1:18 says "updated for trials & tales" and i feel like the two updates got mixed up lol

[@edenwayne8407]

37:35 That supercute fire definitely did put a smile on my face

[@pomidorus9]

Tip: Add "Natural" before the ones without Trails and Tales and it will look less weird.

[@TruzzleBruh]

The Halo Warden being Warden Eternal is nice lolllll

[@Sporquill]

4:40 I had no idea that was the reason, I assumed they just lost the rights to using the name, weird

[@DE23]

I think my favorite 4J texture pack still being updated is the Mario one, a shame its locked tp the Switch version of Bedrock which runs... bad...

[@evanwirth7881]

Bro, I have so much nostalgia for the festive mash-up pack world, me and my sister used to play it all the time on out WiiU

[@SheaN10266]

Sculk being the flood is genius

[@toxictalen4204]

I miss PureBDCraft, it's been my Favorite pack since Childhood and I bought it as soon as I moved to Bedrock, but I had to stop using it recently because they haven't updated to 1.21... So Sad, I wish they would continue their work on it

[@LordArdn]

The Warden in super cute reminds me of a Care bear shooting lasers out it belly. 😂😂😂

[@glubbble]

Sad to see they may not continue the Festive pack. I’ve been a Java player for years but have fond memories of playing with the trial pack on the Christmas world with my little sister. I loved the Santa’s workshop and the soundtrack was incredible. I wish modern renditions of the game would have kept some of that charm of having free worlds that show off the packs

[@masterdragon5754]

You should try out the Legacy4J mod and Re-Console modpack for java edition

[@angel23444]

it's very unfinished though, even ui scaling is extremely broken (not a single resolution scales everything properly) and it's still missing a lot of legacy edition features, it has potential, but it needs more time so it might be actually good mod

[@netherwarrior6113]

I have been checking the fallout texture pack ever update and I was so suprised the warden was a deathclaw. Glad to see 4j still cares about Minecraft, even if they don’t really work on it anymore

[@mistercheeks]

ibxtoycat, of course the camel at 3:54 is a more serious mob in that pack, just look at his nose face. That nose face means business.

[@BloomDevelop]

I’m glad they still updating it

[@sirjimothythe1st]

No way did bro just get offended and ask for an apology for a bee texture

[@ZiptoZapto]

WHenever you showed the list of texture packs they made, I went through the order they came out in my head to make sure I still remembered it. And I do. Except for the Halo mashup pack as that one never existed on PS3 or PS4

[@lilharm]

the Halloween pots should’ve been jack-o-lanterns tbh

[@MattTheCat47]

I wish they still worked on the legacy edition of Minecraft 😭

[@Soltice100]

I still use the Halo and Plastic Texture Packs. I have since the Xbox 360 I’m still so happy that they are getting updated

[@PanPan_996]

4J also made a synth wave looking texture pack called Super Circuit that i don't think a lot of people know about, quite sad at it has some interesting stuff i have never seen on other texture packs at the marketplace

[@Patolagos]

I really wish they could do some 3D models for the more popular mashup packs

[@zanefoxgames6994]

i though i was the only know who knew this because it comes out a week after each update

[@Brandogamer293]

I remember trying to reach that part in the skybox that kinda has the color palate of earth and is triangle shaped in the master chief pack on Xbox 360 as a kid

[@golden_gloo]

AI might be a decent solution to texture pack longevity, train it on the aesthetic of the 100s of blocks already in the pack and use it to make new textures for new blocks.

[@Stephetheon]

the skyrim pack Warden is styled after the Troll/Frost Troll. that being said, you're telling me that the Warden crawls out of the ground and screams at you just so he can bum a cigarette?

[@Chives06]

The Chinese Mythology mashup no longer being updated is tragic because it's my favorite mashup.

[@Chimpson2009]

The deal with Sphax is that its update for Bedrock isn’t finished even though Java is.

[@OjbTheBrit]

Greek Mythology was the first mashup pack I was allowed to buy when I was a child! I'm so glad it got updated

[@OjbTheBrit]

I also remember playing Chinese Mythology this one time and I got sad because I couldn't save it because we hadn't bought the pack. I had spaghetti for dinner that night. It was nice.

[@radio_marco]

2:27 Ancientdebris is litteraly beans.png

[@HelloPunkin]

Thanks so much! I was trying to figure out how to find the Fallout map! It’s Vault-tec!

[@jetsflyingoffatrain4338]

The warped halo wood is probably themed around flood infection

[@Seej_]

Here's what your texture pack would look like if it we're Mass Effect or Chinese:

[@Tacodilesupreme88]

Toycat should make his own tutorial world for modern minecraft

[@craigartasin]

oh good i was just looking for something to watch!

[@dankart4924]

This makes me want a way to change one or two textures, but keep the rest normal. Like I want a candy Warden, but everything else is normal.

[@user-un5xj1wl6p]

Aww, shame the warden was turned inti middas... as munotaur would be much better.

[@starbonnie552]

Is anybody else having problems loading these texture packs in worlds? They work just fine for me when loading into a server when it's activated in Global resource packs. but the second I try a normal world it doesn't work. It works half the time if it's a global pack and the world doesn't have one on it, but sometimes it gives me an error saying the pack isn't loading when it should already be loaded. It doesn't work if any pack is enabled in the world itself. That and for some reason it's only stand alone texture/resource packs. Mashup packs seem to work just fine.

[@MISTER__OWL]

I play with the City Texture Pack permanently. I really like the way it looks (armor trims, bricks, grass) and I wouldn't be able to go back now. 32x looks better than 16x 4J studios does an excellent job on these packs.

[@A4K-47]

And this one of the top reasons why updates take tons of time so Mojang isn't Completely Lazy

[@audenjw]

Is the 1.20 update called trials and tales? Or is it a typo on trails and tales

[@ImDaRealBoi]

4Jstudios is truly my beloved

[@jacariwatsonallard8603]

I'm glad i still have a working 360 with console minecraft on it

[@norman6524]

Dude I had the City Texture Pack and used it on my main world but Minecraft took it from my account

[@Muffiin85]

1:00 bro did not write trials & tales 💀💀💀💀

[@tater9263]

The four compasses showing up in your inventory shows up with normal textures too, it's just a bedrock thing.

[@bagelmasterempire]

This reminds me of my Wii-U days.

[@Bluzers]

Allay during the video: 😵‍💫

[@coraffe]

I love the plastic texture pack. I still use it to this day.

[@fer_kai117]

how we can have in a superflat plain world all 3 variants of frog?

[@atelierlife-jo1sb]

2:05 did you set up this world?????????

[@misslovlycassy]

Wait are theses in the market place on bedrock edition how did you get these

[@Coolouie]

11:51 New Cubecraft moderator?

[@bugzloser898]

I keep using the fallout pack and always check every update to see what’s new

[@Patolagos]

One of these for Half-Life would be amazing!

[@star.crushed]

Do they only update the candy texture pack cause *I* use it? Cause I haven't seen anyone really like it as much as I 😭
