Alternacraft
6000 dynamic downloads in one update 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.


OUTDATED BANNER!








Please post to keep this thread alive! I will only continue working on this texture pack by knowing people still like it!

UPDATE! New tools

This new update includes "Wood to Diamond" transitions for tools. I'm really happy about the gold/diamond axes but not so much of the gold/diamond shovel or pick. Anyway, if you have any suggestions, please tell me.

UPDATE! v1.5 Tweaks

This update is nothing big, just some tweaks such as the diamond helmet having a visor, no more grey dots on farmland blocks, got rid of wood holes in boats and doors, etc. I do suggest you should update though.

UPDATE! v1.6 New GUI!

I actually finished making the GUI awhile ago but never had the time (or memory)
to actually release so here it is!

Also in this update is small tweaks to certain blocks, but you wont care about that..
The texture pack is also now uploaded onto Dropbox instead of the frowned-upon Mediafire!

v1.7 Beta 1.6 compatible and tweaks

Spoiler

UPDATE! v1.7 Beta 1.6 compatible and tweaks!

Hello! Sorry for the late update and thanks to sgtdorito117 for producing a make shift one
but finally it is time for the official update. This texture pack update includes all of the
new Beta 1.6 items,blocks, maps, etc.

It also include some little tweaks, including the final removal of the mossy creeper-stone;
even though the poll showed people liking it, it only looks good in dungeons and looks terrible
outside of them, such as when being used in "ruined buildings". I hope people dont get too annoyed
at this change but I think its for the best.

v1.8 Beta 1.7 compatible and tweaks

Spoiler

Andeh6, on 04 July 2011 - 06:17 PM, said:

UPDATE! v1.8 Beta 1.7 compatible and tweaks!

Hello! And once again, sorry for the slightly late update. This update is mainly about the new
blocks and items introduced in 1.7, aswell as some tweaks to the new/old textures.

http://i.imgur.com/SAZZd.png

Such tweaks include change to the map icon, now like a treasure map with dotted lines and an X. The shears are
also now grey since I dislike the brownish colour on it; also makes more sense due to the recipe
being of just two iron blocks, nothing brown. Although tell me what you think and please keep suggesting
more ideas for me to change!

v1.9 Tweaks to diamond/gold tools and armor

Spoiler

Andeh6, on 30 July 2011 - 10:38 AM, said:

Heh, banana sword.

http://i.imgur.com/623DH.png

Anyway, I tried to update the diamond/gold pickaxes and hoes to make them
look stronger but still I'm not sure about it. It actually looks better here
than ingame .. so what do you think?

I also made the diamond chestplate similar to the iron chestplate since the
previous diamond chestplate made you have huge arms, and there's also some other little other tweaks included!

Please leave comments or feedback!

Andeh6, on 14 September 2011 - 06:17 PM, said:

1.8 UPDATE

Hey, this is a pretty big update. Along with the 1.8 stuff, I have also modified alot of the old items/blocks/armor aswell as the new 1.8 stuff. Such changes include the diamond stuff being more blue than cyan, the orange shading on gold gone, no more genitalia swords, better watermelons, green cave spiders, slightly tweaked GUI, slightly better glass, and more!

Spoiler

Andeh6, on 03 October 2011 - 03:50 PM, said:

1.9 UPDATE

Finally updated the pack to 1.9! This is compatible with the 1.9 pre release 2
and although I havent really changed the 1.9 textures as of now, I will be working
on them as soon as possible.

On the otherhand, Ive changed alot of the previous
textures, just as changing the colour of diamond stuff again, purple ender pearls,
purple ender eye, etc.

Enjoy, and sorry for the late update. Ill try and improve the 1.9 textures ready for the
official 1.9 release.

I do like the armors. Can you make the wood a bit darker?

[Hobohunter29]

Here's our support from the MCCP thread, Andy! Naruto28 here. I've downloaded the pack, and I'm loving it.

[Semper Durus]

This is exactly what I've been waiting for. I've attempted this kind of things before, but I'm not that good at it. Thanks a lot.

As far as suggestions go, umm.. Perhaps the tools/weapons could slowly transition into the cool-looking diamond ones. Wood could stay the same, stone could have a crack in it, etc. I don't know. Looks good though, can't wait for more updates.

[Andeh6]

UPDATE! New tools

This new update includes "Wood to Diamond" transitions for tools. I'm really happy about the gold/diamond axes but not so much of the gold/diamond shovel or pick. Anyway, if you have any suggestions, please tell me.

After the Beta 1.5 update, some people have told me they disliked the new mossy cobblestone with the creepers but some said they loved it.

Although no one on this thread had said otherwise so I added a poll to decide whether to keep it, plus this post can also be counted as a bump since its a pretty dead thread..

Your comments are the main motivation for me to continue on this texture pack! Please comment!

i don't believe it's necessary, the creeperstone looks too much out of place and removes the atmosphere of the game when found!

[iMinee]

Very nice texture pack you have here, Andeh.

[iDrawn]

Nice Andy! it's a really good texture pack, i like the swords a lot. Keep on updating it!

[Peng]

I like this texture pack. I think with tweaks to more of the blocks it'll become much more individual and gain more popularity.

[ThePineapplizer]

I love this pack. It keeps the same Minecraft nostalgia without making too much of a change. + 1

This pack has potential. I'm not going to download it yet. Though kudos to you my good sir.

1. Epic Lava Bucket
2. Nice Armor textures
3. Cool texture for redstone, gunpowder, and glowstone dust.
Anything I missed?

[ThePineapplizer]

I think you should just make the creeper cobble in an alternative download.
