Whether I'm being unreasonable or not I believe there is no reason for any forge mod to have a unique version of a resource. Copper is copper and does not require several colors or textures. There is no need for this. There is no demand for it. I want, and I can't be alone in this, One texture for any forge ore. Having it otherwise causes annoyance and in some cases fix-it mods (Omni tools). I don't need omni tools for the most part as most mods accept another mods ore in a crafting recipe. This is would be acceptable if it worked every time.
Forge team, would it be to much to provide this? Minecraft already provides standard textures that are largely unchanging. There are no three other types of diamond and five different types of iron. No modders pointlessly add their own textures ALONG SIDE the default textures. As more mods add more assets it won't just be ores that are schizophrenic. Consider your self (forge and it's maintainers) responsible for something more than just the super structure that mods sit on. Help provide a little clarity at least.
If a large number of forge mods are built to work in harmony with each other then something small like this only goes to counteract that harmony, mod balance aside.
