I hate these Xray packs and mods. Don't know why they are allowed on the forums since they count as hacks.
Thanks for your input.
They are allowed because they are useful, and there are many other programs that allow you to find ore in a minecraft world that are not classified as hacks.
They ruin the gameplay experience and make the lifes of admins harder.
As my previous response was not deemed appropriate..
I'm sure it can be a slight inconvenience on the odd occasion. But, like I said, its very useful when I lose stuff and its a nice thing to have for spying out terrain features for map building etc etc.
%99.9 of the players use these stuff to ruin your day, not for checking problems inside your redstone machine. And right now, you are supporting those people. Your "Helpful for people!" sentence is invalid.
Oh, but don't tell me: " USE THIS IN SSP YOU IDIOT!!", because if I ever wanted to, I would just get TooManyItems. But that will not stop people from using it on servers. Also don't tell me: "BUT YOU CAN USE IT TO FIND STRUCTURES!!!!". Why do I even search for those structures? Loot of course! Why would I not just use TMI for that? Also, "USE IT TO FIND YOUR HOME THEN!!!!!!!!" is also invalid, I could just get a waypoint mod.
No effort, no purpose, no originality, nothing. If there was a way to rate these things, then my rating is a 1/10, because I can't rate it worse.

Your logic is flawed. No matter what the percentage of people use this for good or bad, I've still helped them. Therefore, if I ever said it was "Helpful for people!" I would be correct.
Going by your (what I'm sure is) well sourced statistic, 99% of people used this with bad intentions, so according to some simple mathematics and my download tracker, I have so far helped 10 people that are using it for good. That's assuming your correct. Good enough for me.
Oh, but don't tell me: " USE THIS IN SSP YOU IDIOT!!",(*snip*)blahblahblahblah(*snip*) use TMI for that? Also, "USE IT TO FIND YOUR HOME THEN!!!!!!!!" is also invalid, I could just get a waypoint mod.
Sure, you could get a waypoint mod. Sure, you could get TMI. Sure, you could get a transparent pack.
Point is, you can do whatever you like. Let me give you another comparison... There's a minecraft server, right? You go to the Minecraft site, download, and run it. Boom, done. But still we find ourselves with many alternatives, C-language re-writes, skinned down versions, Bukkit, Java re-writes, and I'm sure there is others. Why do they exist? How people choose to play the game is up to them... If you don't like this way of playing it? Be on your merry way and TMI in as many items as you want. But for those who want it, this is here. Why are alternatives bad?

Here is a coal for your contribution, feel free to use it for whatever purpose you like:
Wow. 398576th X-ray texturepack already. Time flies.
Here is a coal for your contribution, feel free to use it for whatever purpose you like:
*pokemonface speaks the truth and breaks the continuum.*
Cool I bet they were 1.5 compatible too.
Thanks, I was running out of torches.
Fun Fact: Every X-Ray or TS texture pack is GODDAMN compitable with all versions (In fact, every texture pack is. Blocks are only going to appear weird if the texture pack does not include a texture for them.). I have a X-Ray pack for 1.2.5 but it works on 1.5. Because stone, grass and dirt are the only things you want to see through in these packs. They are STILL invisible with outdated X-Ray packs anyway.
Your logic was invalid. Now it is %9001 percent more invalid. It is over 9000.
And by the time, I have seen more than 50 X-Ray mods for 1.5. %1337 percent more invalid then.
As far as I can tell. This pack is allowed on the forums, and it IS a beneficial tool. To SOME people. Just because there's a texture pack on the forums where you have 2k posts, doesn't mean you can start a flamewar over its practicality. I think its one of the best x-ray packs I've seen on the forums.
This is not a "Mod" (Traditional Mod) or an XRAY Tool, this is nothing more than replacing the original 16x16 pixel images in the 'textures\blocks' folder with transparent 16x16 images using the same names.
This is how ALL TEXTURE PACKS ARE MADE!!
Except they don't usually use Transparent images....
(Prior versions of Minecraft used only 1 image that contained all of the blocks, as of 1.5 the images are separated into individual files, thus making the creation of texture packs a bit easier.)
I made a similar texture pack myself, though I use 'animation' for the oreBlocks to give them that flashy effect (frames) and I probably won't be releasing it to the public simply because my grandmother could make this texture pack and she doesn't even know what the internet is, that's how easy this is. Though for some folks, turning their computer on and off takes a degree in college apparently.
This pack was "made" and is "used" in the same fashion, as every other texture pack for this game.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.

Before we continue with this, how likely am I to be right if I said you're probably 12 years old?
%0.
I am %100 sure I am 20.
I love math. And I think there is a %90 chance that you have nothing sensical to say anymore as it turns out it is turning into a "Who is younger?" fight.
Well, have fun griefing servers than. Later buddy.
Hardmuscle thank you very much, a logical explanation of why these silly people should not get upset was probably in order there.. I agree with you fully. And CopperCookie. Atleast some people understand, sah much hate!
jpmrocks thankyou for the compliments. Pretty rare to come across here
I'm viewing the post and you are very sensitive and pretty sarcastic in your replies. And If you can't understand that this pack are overmade and useless, and you can use any X-RAY or TMI for this things, you are a dumb. Sorry, but I say the true.
My last post on this thread is: Enough. There were many X-Ray mods out here before "I would call it natively compatible with 1.5, and was the only one of its kind at the time I uploaded."
As an active and fair server admin I consider this a useful tool in my belt for finding cheaters. I can find hidden rooms where people hide their xrayed items, odd looking mines with no torches that show people have xrayed etc.
This paired with a good rollback/block logging plugin has kept my server cheat free quite nicely, thanks.

Thankyou for your feedback! I've never thought of using it that way, glad I could help
Kodehawa sarcasm is funny, but I can assure you, I am dead serious about making this transparent pack fully compliant with the HTML5 standard to be teh best one evaa and the first of its kind!!

Because your imaginary alternative server has a stubborn admin who immediately pounces upon anybody who criticizes his work, copies a copious amount of other servers already in existence, and is, because of this, of no use whatsoever.
Taler, I like how nearly all of your posts are futile attempts to defend this thread.
Thankyou, I like your avatar! It reminded me of this http://tinyurl.com/brarbhg. Lets get back on track now.

I can assure you the server is not imaginary... I was quite surprised myself when I saw that someone with a legitimate Minecraft survival server appreciated my pack... So far many many people have downloaded this, I think that's enough to prove that it's useful. Come on atleast give me a challenge, this is too easy.
Also what does " copies a copious amount of other servers" refer to? I can assure you I have copied no servers. If you can even do that 0.o
Hakkezz, why not? I have seen topics like this before and I dont see what is wrong with posting a beneficial tool here for others to use. How is it in any way "a beneficial tool"?
But as far as singleplayer and your own servers are concerned, this can be a real help to quickly find lost places of interest etc. Why on earth would anyone cheat on singleplayer? Just get TMI for God's sake.
Allow me to be clear, I am a server admin and upload YouTube videos. There ARE beneficial reasons for texture packs like this.
In my case, there are times I want to record particular locations in a map for intros to my videos. Getting to those locations is difficult if I cannot find them (because I did the map already and forgot where they were before I obliterated them), without tearing up all of the surrounding countryside a second time.
Yes, cheaters can use these to make SMP unfun, and I have had to deal with that on my own server, but there are legitimate uses for transparent texture packs.
It is also very easy to make one, and trolls who use them don't download someone else's texture packs, they just make their own.
