Zigzag is a stylish alternative to default textures in Minecraft. Its high resolution and painterly appearance help to transform your Minecraft world into something fresh and exciting. Many blocks in Zigzag were designed to look cohesive, giving you more build options. Also…it’s pretty cute! For more information and more screenshots please visit the Zigzag Website!

Who Makes it?
Zigzag is created by me; Jamizzles! I am a full time artist/gamedev who spends all her spare time playing Minecraft. I love the default look of Minecraft, but I also wanted to see where I could take it if I used my own style. For more of my original art and updates please follow me @JamieMcKiernan & jamizzles.tumblr.com

You have quickly become one of my favorite artists, you are such an idol for me, i really hope i can become as talented and successful as you one day ^^
I am loving this pack, and i can't wait to see more of it
So pretty, smooth, and clean. This resource pack has been added to my personal "best of" list, which used to only be Faithful x32, Glimmar's Steampunk, Ignaf's Stitch Up Pack, Sphax PureDBcraft, and Soartex Fanver.
Please keep up good work.
By-the-way, will you be accepting mod support commissions? I've a small / minimalist 1.8 modpack on Feed-the-Beast and would love to make this an official resource pack for it.
This pack looks great! I really like the mixture of happy and cartoony while keeping a great quality. (if that makes any sense...)
Keep up the good work!

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
The roses are wilted, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty, and so is your head.
Wow guys thanks for the amazing, kind comments and support! It just keeps giving me the drive to update and improve the pack each week now that I know it's out in the wild and people are playing with it!
cmdLP: I hope to someday do more custom models! It worked out great for the fence, and I'd love to just clean up some of that "default" unwrapping that I know I could customize nicely to the pack!
Gorstavich: Thanks so much! Right now I'm holding off thinking about the mods just untill I can wrap up the vanilla set, but I am certainly not opposed to doing modpacks! Me and my friends play a lot of them, and I'd love to be able to expand the pack to work with them!
So glad you all like it! It's been so much fun finally getting it out to everyone and seeing it out in the wild finally!
thebaum64: I use primarily photoshop! Sometimes I will check things in Novaskin, and I also use a plugin called "lazy Nezumi Pro" for some line smoothing.
I haven't used any resource packs since about half a year - but this one is a very good reason to use one again! However, there are still some small issues which you can fix.
First, if you have "Alternate Textures" turned on, you see the borders of many blocks if they are next to each other, for example with stone blocks. This can be fixed by modifying the blockstate file of the affected blocks. Note that in the current 1.9 snapshot 15w33c, the option to switch alternate textures off is removed.
Second, if you drop an item on the ground, it will glitch a bit. But, as you said, you'll look into making models which I'm looking forward to see.
However, I could only find these two small issues which don't really affect gameplay that much and can be easily fixed. The rest of your pack is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Also, Minecraft 1.9 will change a bit according resource packs, and I hope you'll update your pack when 1.9 comes out. You'll have to redo most of your models then.
I love this pack! It feels clean and bright like Paper Cut Out, but it has the cartoony detail of Sphax. All of your animals are super adorable as well.
Thanks everyone! Still plugging away each week to bring another update!
Thanks for the bug-a-boos violine1101! I'm definitely starting to get to the point where I can finally go back and address these issues. I'm excited to convert things for 1.9 as well!

Glad to see this out of the WIP section, this is the best looking pack I've seen for quite awhile,
and it is by far the best 128x128 pack I've ever seen.
New thread
Great job
I was away when this was finally published but now I can try it out

This looks great!
I saw this on Reddit (I think?) a few days ago and decided to pick it up.
Still using it quite often - nice work!

Oh.. My god..
This texture pack is one of the most, if not THE MOST amazing texture pack i have ever seen. It is simply spectacular. This puts sphax to shame!
