This is just one of those things you try just so you can say you tried. I replaced fifty or so common Minecraft textures with appropriately-coloured characters from the standard 16x16 ANSI tileset, and this was the result.

I've become quite taken with the Roguelike look, and might start work on a couple of more general ANSI skins for Minecraft, but I'd be happy to keep updating this DF-specific one if people here are interested; replacing more textures with their DF equivalents, coming up with appropriate tiles for things like redstone circuitry, and even implementing popular graphic tilesets like Phoebus or Mayday. I'd require a bit of help, though, since I haven't actually played enough DF to know what some of the objects look like!

Naturally, here's the incomplete pack for your perusal; just drop the .zip in your "resourcepacks" folder. Feel free to post screenshots!

Looks, psychadelic, and something that would make your eyes tired after a while, especially that checkerboard pattern for stone and netherrack.

it looks like dwarf fortress without the dysfunctional single-plane view, which is a pretty neat thing

I like it!

The hard part will be turning mobs into ASCII letters... you can at least change the villager's faces to smileys.

This looks very interesting. Ptw.

I'm looking into lower-contrast alternatives for the general tileset, but for the DF one it can't really be avoided - it's just what the game looks like.

Better?

I'm considering whether a Creeper should have ASCII aranged to look like the model, or just be a mass of "C"s...

PTW this would work well with that utility that lets you export df maps for use in minecraft.

From what I understand, that utility hasn't been updated to work with the more recent versions of Dwarf Fortress. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, though, because I loved playing around with that when it was functional.

A few years ago I tried to do that but gave up.

[tuypo1]

I wonder what other games should get the dwarf fortress look also this is awesome

[Baffler]

There's a new DF to minecraft exporter, but it doesn't handle manmade constructions. It's called Dorven Realms or something.

Not much progress on the skin front, but I tried it with some shaders (including SEUS).
