What is YogMod?
YogMod is a Forge-based Minecraft mod that adds the blocks from the VoxelBox Scientific texture pack used in the YogLabs videos as their own separate blocks. The VoxelBox Scientific overrode many base textures with scientific textures used specifically for the lab, meaning that playing Minecraft normally and having a custom lab built using those textures necessitated texture switching, which takes a significant amount of time and is rather annoying to do. This mod allows users to have both the custom blocks and the normal blocks available at the same time.
The VoxelBox Scientific
The original, low-resolution texture pack used for YogLabs was called the VoxelBox Scientific texture pack, and was featured from Minecraft Mods - YogLabs Part 1 - Welcome to the Facility to Minecraft Mods - Iron Dwarf - YogLabs. Its texture assignment doesn't make much sense for some blocks. While basic blocks, such as grass, stone, dirt, logs, and leaves all correspond to the correct vanilla blocks, other blocks, such as ores and crafting tables don't make any sense whatsoever. I have decided to respect most of these vanilla texture decisions for the YogMod smithing recipes.
YogLabs HD Textures
In Minecraft Mods - Bad Trip - YogLabs, the VoxelBox Scientific was replaced by a high-definition texture pack, which was designed to override the Sphax PureBDcraft texture pack that was used prominently by the Yogscast. It respected the low-resolution pack's block texturing decisions. By default, YogMod ships with the low-resolution textures, but the high-definition ones are also available. If you decide to use these, it is highly recommended that you use PureBDcraft alongside it.
Texture Extensions
Beyond the original block changes, I have also extended YogMod on top of what the texture packs originally did. For example, there was a small set of wool block replacements in the original pack, with other wool blocks being used to host other, non-colored wool textures. I added a full set of block variants to match the vanilla colors, as well as adding a beige variant. Additionally, when used in tandem with OptiFine or another OptiFine-compatible connected textures mod, the textures for YogMod's glass will connect.
