wow. i am stunned. this resource pack would be AMAZING with some aethetics mods, like shaders, water shaders (unless already a feature in shaders, duh) animated players - oh god, just imagine, steve on a horse, staring of into an orangish sunset, across the semi-wavey ocean with a forest on the side and its leaves and tallgrass bobbing up and down, in the backround a snow-capped mountain - wait when this resource pack comes out and all the said mods come out for 1.6 then i might try getting a snapshot of that, front and back to advertise/celebrate the release of this resource pack because IT IS AWESOME.

Yes it is amzing

I fixed up the OP, adding back the download stats and banner that got lost when the forum webpage ate my post.It would be pretty cool to see the Lithos banner in somebody else's signature.

I'm trying Curses as the main download -- I'm interested to see how it works out. The stats seem goofy. I know it's not the downloader's favorite, but adfly does give you the best stats of anything i've tried.

Thanks!

I don't know if there's going to be a point with Lithos "comes out". Getting all the blocks done will be an important milestone, but then i'll go back and start revising a lot of them as well as start working on icons and GUI, and maybe fancy features like CTM or animations.

Player contributed screenshots that show off the blocks well are welcome, though i'm unlikely to use a lot with shaders -- they look cool, but most players don't use them, so it doesn't give a good impression of what the pack is actually like..

...maybe you could change some of the sounds...

My central goal for Lithos is to improve on the vanilla minecraft. Vanilla graphics are not great, but IMHO the sound quality is pretty good. I've tried my hand at sound-effects more than once, and i'd have to work really hard to come up with something that's almost as good as vanilla. Sorry, i'm not going to add sounds, unless i see a way i can improve things, not just make them different.

Yes good job Mediafire is not the most reliable way but now there is curse which is the most reliable. I hope you get over 10,000 downloads soon:)

How do you make your own banner?

There's a tutorial here.

I still don't know how to make banners it's kind of odd

Preview for the next release:

I've decided to release less frequent updates with more content, so the next one will probably be 2 weeks away. I've been spending too much of my texturing time packaging updates.

Thanks!

P.S. I love the crafting table!

That's one of my favorite textures, not so much for itself, but how it captures the tricky vanilla identity and looks good.

THE BEST TEXTURE PACK ever this is better than all the texture packs combined

I appreciate the praise, but no i don't think Lithos is that good.

Thanks guys!

Make water and lava a priority but,

Actually i've decided to leave the vanilla animated stuff alone for now (fire, water, lava, portal). These are important textures, but they won't be quick. In the time i could finish one of these, i could do a lot of items, particles, mobs, or GUI elements. With so much unfinished, i'm going for for what can more expeditiously be completed.

Quote from MartiniFlamez

Are you going to make the other textures like the food, armour, ect? That would be super cool. Great texturepack btw.

My intention is to eventually remake all minecraft's graphics.



Preview of the soonish upcoming release: I like how this turned out.

Version 0.4.1

This is a big Milestone, all blocks are now included (if you don't count water & lava). New chests— all of them— are a big addition, and I've enhanced the atmosphere with new sun and cloud graphics. You may also notice that a few of the particles are now in HD. All in all 52 new or revised textures have been added to Lithos. See the changelog for full details.
