Tileable crystals

[aceface]

I like the texture of the current ice crystal, but not so much of the new crystals. The reason is that the new crystals look like single blocks when placed next to eachother unlike the default ice crystal. Would be good if the new crystals' textures were based off the default ice crystal instead. They would look a lot better when tiled and would make them a very pretty building material.

Probably not going to happen for a few reasons.

1, I don't consider the ice crystal to be that great. It will be retextured along with the terrain overhaul to look like a raw material. (which can tile over multiple blocks since it's terrain)

2, The newer crystals are single blocks. They're cut gemstones. Not intentionally made to tile over hundreds of blocks.

3, Having a crystal texture thats meant to tile will present some problems i want to avoid. We either loose most of it's smaller details i.e.; changes in hue and diversity in blemishes to allow for a smooth tiling. Or we preserve those smaller details and quirks and it looks terrible when tiled.

I'm pretty happy with their current state for now.
