Misc: Old Alts & Mod Support
Customizer (Fan Managed): Customizer (thanks Cabralol522! and formerly Zakristone.)
This texture pack utilizes MCPatcher's Connected Textures & Randomobs mods to a huge extent. If you want to use my extensive connected textures mod support, MCPatcher is required. Currently MCPatcher has a better CTM version than Optifine's. If you try and use CTM with Optifine ~C3 you're going to get a lot of bugs.
What is CTM? Words cannot do it justice, check out these pictures:
Notice
Regarding use of my work..
I get a lot of PMs about using my work so I thought I'd clarify some things. You're free to use my work in any video, server, map or project as long as I get full and clear credit with a link to my thread. This means you can do what you want with it, as long as it is only distributed with that project. I just ask that you don't use it in any public texture pack mix, edited or not. Please don't PM me about permission for things, because I'll tell you the same thing you just read.
Update [5/7/2012]: Send all your fan edits, old version textures and other stuff to Zakristone so he may add them to the customizer!
Update [6/29/2012]: Dear servers using my texture pack, please give me credit for my work. Especially if you're going to edit it.
(Lookin' at you, A Song of Ice and Blood!)
I update and overhaull my texture pack a lot. I encourage users to take backups before updating their texture pack, because things change and some people don't always like them. If you have any old old old versions, I even encourage you to post them because I'm terrible at keeping old versions. It's fun to look back at old textures!
Sorry for all the words.

About
It's been almost a year since I released the first version of Revival. A lot has changed since then, pretty much every texture has been redone, including a general change in style overall. My pixel art skills are always improving so I can't guarantee the pack will look the same in another 6 months. My changes have been mostly well received though, so I hope you guys will continue to enjoy my work. If you do enjoy it, share it with your friends, family, family pets, strangers or acquaintences; I'd appreciate it!
I'm not done yet though, I will continue to update this pack for the forseeable future and I always have a todo.txt with 10 more things I need to update. My interest in Minecraft waxes and wanes, and with it, so does the speed of my updates. Stick with me though, because I'll put SOMETHING out, temporary or not.
Just for fun, I figured I'd write a little about the history of my texture pack career™.
In late 2009, I made a replacement leaf texture just because I was sick of the neon green leaves. This spiralled out of control as I realised there was always something I didn't like about another texture. This led to my first pack which I stupidly called SMP's Realistic. It wasn't realistic at all but HD textures weren't A Thing then and I was using colors pulled from photos.
Then someone figured out that you could make higher-res textures just by doubling the size of the texture file. The first thing I did was make a hideous photo realistic texture pack called 2Realistic (get it? GET IT?!). I canned that almost immediately though and made a regular 32x texture pack where everything ended up looking like a different colored sand. I called it...SMP's Texture Pack.
I'm not sure when it happened, but I made a really lazy 16x version of it for the Webhallen texture pack contest.
Around the same time, Doku released his first texture pack and it blew my mind. Actual pixel art, and it was awesome. I had the great idea to make a cartoony texture pack, and for the first time I ever, I didn't just abuse photoshop tools to something out. Warning: the image below is terrible and will probably hurt to look at.
After some time I just gave up on Minecraft in general, discontinuing my pack and letting others take over it. For months I used a John Smith/DokuCraft mix pack I made, and around May '11 I decided to make a 16x mix pack too. It used textures from a bunch of different packs including painterly, quandary, eld and norsecraft. I don't have any pics of the original pack, but I do have this terrain.png from when I first started making my own replacements.
Then stuff and things happened, and this is the oldest version of Revival I can find. If you have an earlier version, please post it here so I can look back in nostalgia
. Edit (5/21/12): Thanks to The Barinade for relinking the very first release of Revival! It's the second image below.
Very first release ever:

These shiny beauties are mostly what all of the hype was all about! Once you get your hands on one of these tools, you'll never switch back to "diamond" tools, in fact, what are diamond tools anyway?! These works of art practically do the work for you! The have a durability of 1.5X Diamond Tools. So they can break 2,342 blocks without breaking a sweat! If tools could sweat anyways... Not to mention that these tools are faster than Diamond Tools, 1.25X faster, in fact! If that seems like a small percentage to you, I assure you, you WILL see a difference. And again, sorry for the picture not coming out that good, the angle that I was shooting it at with my camera didn't allow me to fully encompass the tools on the edges of the picture. I do apologize.

Honestly, every system has its quarks. Capitalism makes people to comfortable, which leads to ignorance, which leads to... you all obviously get the point. It does, however, generate competition, which historically means more advances in technology. Capitalism, to put it bluntly, is a constant war for the better product, which I believe is a good thing is most cases. Better medicine, science, and technology.
Conflict breeds creativity. Either to help your allies or crush your enemies.
Communism creates a stagant pool of unimprovement. Technology only progresses due to competition outside of your borders. Plus the lack of freedom (restricting religion and asserting control over certain aspects of life) as demonstrated by most of history's communist states that come to mind. It also breeds corruption and foolish self-aggrandizing attitudes at the highest echelons of power (i.e. Stalin, Kim Il Sung, and Kim Jong Il) and isolationism (China), but Capitalism has done the same in the past. Really, all that was stated above.
Communism is great for control, which is good and bad.
Capitalism is great for freedom's sake, which is good and bad.
It really is a shame. In the end, it's the people's fault for helping whichever system become the economic structure of their fledgling nations. People's choice, which makes companies rich in capitalism and the nation effective in communism.
Personally, I think either could work, if they conduct themselves correctly.
I hate to hit-and-run, but I thought I'd toss my two cents out there. Buy something nice with 'em.

Here's a bump. I don't know why this topic doesn't get as much recognition as it deserves. Oh well. Guess it's just the changing preferences
of players.
Still an amazing pack SMP.

Why all of the hate towards gay people? It's not a choice. Plain and simple. But why all the hate?
I can tell you why.
Some people are just too blinded by hate to realize its not a choice.
Some people are too blinded by disgust.
Some people don't realize.
Some people just don't care that its a choice.
Some people are scared.
The bible plainly says that we humans must find tolerance towards our fellow man. It also says that god is all powerful and controls everything in existence. That must mean he created homosexuality right? But why do people have to hate on other peoples' sexual orientation? If god created everything it must mean he created homosexuality. Why do some of us, especially some Christians, hate it so much? Because they don't understand or are to hateful to care and it says not to in the bible.You can't turn gay or decide to be gay because it's just how the person is. The bible says that it is a choice by stating humans should not lay with the fellow gender or animals. If anyone tries to test their gender preference and either can't find their fellow man or woman to be attractive, they're not gay. If it's the opposite of that, or they can't tell, they may be homosexual.
But I understand one other thing. Some people just don't want to believe that another human finds their fellow sex to be attractive. They like to believe that it is impossible. humans have the tendency to believe what they think is fact. Homosexuality is NOT a choice no matter how you put it. To be truly gay is not enjoy the opposite gender in a sexual way. It can't be a choice. Your sexual orientation is built into you at birth.
It's basically a huge contradiction.
Edit: I will not be able to answer any questions that derive from the main post. I didn't mean for this tread to get so popular and so complex. I'm happy to see positive opinions and the "fight" against members who believe in other side of the argument. If any of you want to continue this, like how Trexmaster offered, I'm in no position to stop any of you. I'll keep an eye on this just to see what has become of it.

Well, I'm not saying that homosexuals should just wander around and parade themselves about like an oppressed culture. They should carry themselves with dignity and continue on like all other sexualities do. You don't see a "Straight Parade" go marching around or a straight guy announce that he is Straight in the middle of the DMV. Like I said before, no matter what sexuality you are, behave like the average human being, get a ****ing room, and don't make out in front of a crowd of people for no reason. It's impolite and downright disgusting for everyone no matter what the sexuality.
No rage or offense is meant by the language. People pay attention when a cus is thrown into a piece of writing.
You can expand it if you want. It's really not up to me what other people do on the internet.

Marriage is not a matter of Church. It is simply an agreement between two people to live and share each other's lives.
2
I was kind of speaking in a sense of "Let people follow their own path of happiness." Walking around naked isn't the same as wanting to marry a person of the same sex.
I don't mean to sound "as a matter of fact"-ly
What's better?
A. A homosexual person lives alone and doesn't carry out their search for love in the same sex and instead marries the opposite sex to cover up the fact.
B. A person searches for and finds the special someone of the same sex and embraces who they are.
I'm about 75% sure you meant it in a public standing though. I do agree a gay person should not be walking about in public while making out with their lover. It's gross even with straight couples. Golden Rule: Both sexual orientations, hetero or homo(not meaning to offend), should not be showing public displays of affection above a hug. It's impolite. A conversation is perfectly fine. Converse and let them know your true colors.
It's not a choice to be gay though. It's a fact that being gay means being attracted to the same gender. I can't choose to dump my girlfriend and stare at men all day. The reason the average person doesn't take their clothes off to avoid heat because it's impolite to show off their junk. A homosexual person can't help but find the same sex attractive. A straight person can't help but find the opposite sex attractive.
Plus: The Gay-Rights controversy is really just haters versus rights. In the end, everyone who is homosexual in America has the same rights as everyone else. Why does it matter if a person is gay or not? Still a citizen most of the time and the definition of marriage is so warped by belief and opinion that most people think it is only for straight people.
Marriage isn't an agreement for a man and a woman. It's for two people who agree to live with each other and share each others' lives.
Even if it was only man/woman, what's the difference? It's still just two people. Same impact as a standard marriage.
