I don't think anyone really makes thatched roofs, but what I do think is that I'm often wrong. So in an attempt to be better I've put together this poll.

 

Please help me.

the biggest reason people dont really make them, they look lame, almost no texture, like a real thatched roof would look like, easy texture pack patch but who am i to judge the mods :P

yes unfortunately they do look lame and improvements have been asked for many a time.

I build almost exclusively thatched roofs.  Admittedly it might be because they remind me of the roof back when it just auto-appeared when you finished your house walls.

I would build thatch roofs, but I am ambivalent about the current texture / look. I've seen them used. Haven't yet gone for it myself.

There has already been a thread about, here my comment then:

In summary: I would like different thatch textures, maybe depending whether created from grass, or reed (maybe even kelp), or how else one could choose a different model. As to grinding it, it is not easy as it is a creation only action, aside from the opportunity to improve thatched roofs with planks. The sheer effort of having and carrying around the planks needed, makes that is no alternative for skill gain, rather a means to raise ql (which is what imping is for :) ) .

I don't mind the texture personally, just the weight of, and time spent making wires seems unpleasant.

I think we can dye them? If so I'll be dying them yellow.
