Creator's comments...
Version 1.0.2: "This mod is part of the Golden Sun Decor 2.0 family of Golden Sun mods for Minecraft 1.11.2. The goal of Golden Sun Statues is to add some beauty to your Golden Sun builds by adding 3D statues from the Golden Sun series to Minecraft that aren't already accounted for in Golden Sun Decor 2.0. I aimed to get every statue from the first two games, but if you find one missing from the mod, please let me know and I will add it in a future update. Modeling these beautiful objects was a breeze thanks to oBeeWare's Cubik Studio. In cases where a statue's sprite included shadows or pedestals in-game to create the illusion of 3D, those elements were hand-modeled in 3D and appended onto the base statue object using the sprite as a texture to best translate the 2D objects to 3D while keeping as much original sprite work intact as possible.

Unlike the 3D objects in Golden Sun Decor, the statues in this mod can face in any compass direction. Object positioning is determined by the direction the player is facing when placing the statue (this choice was made to remain faithful to the original statue-based puzzles in Golden Sun, which are sometimes oriented diagonally or facing certain directions). Statues such as the Sol Sanctum Trap Statue are gravity-enabled, they will fall if the block they are placed on is moved or destroyed. To increase the size of a large statue or set piece such as the Desert Statue, place it on an Item Frame (a default Minecraft item found under the Decoration Blocks tab). Overall, this simple mod adds the many beautiful sculptures from the Golden Sun series to Minecraft. A great addition to Golden Sun Decor 2.0. Very cool!"


SCREENSHOTS

[/spoiler]

The mod goes great with Custom NPC mods, such as Noppes' Custom NPCs, which allows custom user-created quests, in-game dialog, essentially everything anyone will ever need.

FEATURES

:VenusSet: :MarsSet: :JupiterSet: :MercurySet:

Golden Sun Statues adds a huge selection of 3D Golden Sun statues and sculptures to Minecraft, including:
The Venus Lighthouse Aerie Statue
Sol Sanctum Entry Statue
All color palettes of the Venus Lighthouse statue
All Jupiter Lighthouse statues
And more!


PROBLEMS?

If you encounter any problems, post a crash report here so I can take a look at it.
It should be 99.8% stable. I'd be surprised if it caused any issues for anyone other than ID conflicts with other mods, which is unlikely and easily fixed.

COMING SOON...
[spoiler]Might make certain statues pushable at some point. A sound effect would occur when the statue is pushed by the player. Could add a function where the statue will not move further if the neighbor block is a puzzle floor border block as well as a Button block for the statue to be pushed onto, the "kerchunk!" sound effect would occur and the Button block would emit a redstone signal, allowing for functional puzzle designs.[/spoiler]

4/8/2018: Updated to version 1.0.3 with the following fixes:

- Re-scaled block and model textures for compatibility with Optifine. This fixes an issue where certain textures looked blurry if Optifine was active
- Disabled vanilla Minecraft shading on all models. This prevents Minecraft from adding artificial shading to the models, allowing the vibrant colors of Golden Sun to shine
- Disabled ambient occlusion on all models to resolve a bug where Minecraft would add black shadows to model block faces if Smooth Lighting was enabled

UPDATE 9/13:

Some bad news on the Golden Sun Minecraft update recently posted on the forum for anyone interested. The developer I was working with, Flaw, decided to have a tantrum over a minor project design disagreement and restricted access to the code repository for the project. Unfortunately this means I have withdrawn my contributions to the project and will no longer be assisting with development for this project, for which I was the design lead with roles in marketing, audio design, texturing, CTM resource pack design, 3D modeling, and building, among other tasks. This is a real shame, as this was a dually ambitious but feasible project that I was more than happy to devote my spare time towards for the majority of a year, and development of this project came along farther and was of a higher quality than any Golden Sun Minecraft project I had seen -- we were fast approaching a testable state where we planned to advertise the in-progress project to interested Golden Sun fans who may have been interested in joining the team to supplement our two-man band developer and designer team. It is unfortunate Flaw has decided to take the project in this direction. I apologize on his and my behalf to anyone who may have been looking forward to following the progress of this project. Wishing Flaw all the best in his future endeavors.
