This is a fan continuation of Andeh6's Alternacraft Over 9000 dynamic downloads so far!
AlternaCraft is a texture pack that utilizes most of the original textures but also modifies certain aspects of it to make it look better; in my opinion anyway... Such changes include better armor, tools, golden wheat and many more little changes. This texture pack aims to change the things that could be improved, but also keeping as close to vanilla Minecraft as possible. I will not be profiting off of these fan updates, they exist as fan updates only.
As such I wish for the fans of this pack to be vocal about future updates and even donate textures if possible.
Small FYI I will not be updating the pack for every snapshot.
Next major update will likely be for 1.4
Old iron, sapling and dispenser textures will remain.
v4.3 For Update 1.3: New Achievement Gui, Wood Club (Wooden Sword), Fixed Sandstone Slabs and Stairs (Custom color is not properly applied in 4.2), Minor Armor Changes, Even More Randomobs Textures, New Pen and Quill Texture, New "Book Gui", New Emerald Ore Texture, New Emerald Item Texture, New Emerald Block Texture, New Enderchest Texture, Darker Iron Ore Texture, New Blue Nether Portal, New Multicolored Xp Orbs, New Creative Mode Gui (Not Final), Jungle Tree Textures From The Evil Minecraft Mod, New Reworked Mossy Cobble and Many Other improvements! v4.2 Added GUI for "Enchant" , "Alchemy", added new Lapiz block resembling the Iron, gold and diamond block also added Inofficially's "Experience Potion" texture, compatible with Update 1.2.4. Also testing a blue nether portal, please send me a link to the default portal formatted to mcpatcher! (Report any bugs!) v4.1 Fixed Iron Golem textures. v4.0 Updated to be compatible with Update 1.2.3. v4.0 Pre Updated to be compatible with snapshot 12w07b and added "Testificates" skin for villagers. v3.5 Alt Added brownboot's human villagers as an alt, current release (Falsely credited as version 6.1 LOL Ooops). v3.5 Corrected outdated textures (Thanks Lanayru3!), current release (Falsely credited as version 6.1 LOL Ooops). v3.3 Updated with 1.1 textures. v3.0 Corrected with full release textures. v2.7 Added support for Randomobs v2.5 Minor tweaks dragon egg texture added. v2.3 Minor tweaks v2.2 1.9 Pre release 3 textures and tweaks v2.1 1.9 Pre release 2 compatible and tweaks v2.0 Beta 1.8 compatible and tweaks v1.9 Tweaks to diamond/gold tools and armor v1.8 Beta 1.7 compatible and tweaks v1.7 Beta 1.6 compatible and tweaks v1.6 GUI v1.5 Boat and diamond armor tweaks v1.5 Boat and diamond armor tweaks v1.4 Beta 1.5 compatible, dungeons and tweaks v1.3 Wood to diamond tool transitions v1.2 Several tweaks and new Zombie skin v1.1 Small fixes with armor v1 First version!

Looks good! but i think you should leave SandStone and Sand the same Colors as before.
Yeah, I'm having some difficulties with the sandstone specifically.
I may delay/abandon the orangish' desert textures and include it in the MCPatchers colors mod.
So (when installed) the mod will dynamically change sand/sandstone to orange in the dessert biome and the default for beaches.
The new moss stone (so far) seems like a definite inclusion.
However, I may be forced to include the lighter green version initially as I've run into visual "noise" issues with the darker texture...
Refine refine...
I love the new sand and cactus textures. But if you can, I have always hated how pumpkins come pre-carved, as if there's a pumpkin carving monster. So if you can, can you remove the carved pumpkin face texture. so it looks the same on all sides, until you turn it into a jack-o-lantern, then it gets the face.

Ha! For personal use I always "de-carved" the default pumpkin.
Never liked the idea of carved pumpkin patches...
My only issue with the proposed idea: When warn as a helmet there are still eye sockets in first-person but none in third...
I could make it so when worn you're blinded... nah.
We'll see.

I've thought about it too, and then the exact same idea came by about the helmet...
Mike, can you make powered rails gold, like the rails since it is crafted out of it
===================================================================
Here is a newer, constantly updated texture pack that keeps the feel of minecraft but changes those annoying bits and has some big changes like Villager skins.
All feedback welcome to complete this texture pack!

PLEASE do not advertise, I find your texture pack...not the best, there are a lot of changes needed like Melons, etc. Alternacraft is probably the best alternate default Minecraft texture pack. I like the villagers though (had a longer look :wink.gif:)
Any chance of us getting a estimated update release? Or maybe a temporary release so the amazing people who use the pack can test it?
Alright.
I'll add a pre-release this weekend or maybe on the release of the next snapshot (Monday?).
Just need to put together a valid pack that represents the final release a bit more (I'm testing a few features out separately).

Hi everyone! The "snapshot" pack is coming along quite well.
Question though: Could someone please direct me to the default neather portal animation (preferably formatted to mcpacther style).
Thanks!
[Edit] Do people want a more "copper/orange" iron texture?
Noticed the boost in popularity that concept has had
amongst these modified-default packs. Let me know.
[Edit_2] Snapshot released! 12w07b
As always feedback is appreciated.
Many textures are "Super-Turbo-Ultimate-Alpha" so please
recommended changes! Have a great weekend!

Yeah I noticed that.
The screen cap is dated, I fixed that issue a while ago.
I'll upload a newer screeny shortly.
[Edit] Did I fix it?
Yeah, I'm having some difficulties with the sandstone specifically.

WIP atm.
Decided to go with the mcpacther/optifine colors mod for biome specific sand/sandstone.
Looks just as good if not better (in my opinion).
Please do. If I use them I'll give credit of course. :biggrin.gif:
