If you want to use my textures in your pack:
You can use, edit and share my textures as long as I'm credited
You are not allowed to make money with my work
And you are not allowed to use my textures in a customizer or in any other games else than Minecraft.

Also since many people ask me through PM if they can use my pack (or a modified version) in their adventure maps, of course you can! (all I ask is credits and ideally a link to this forum thread)

Finally If you like my work and want to support it in a stronger way than adf.ly, you can donate here, thanks!

[PicSoul]

Those screen shots look amazing! I'm going to Download them and give em a try.

Edit: Almost 2 years later and still one of my favorites. GOOD JOB!

[Allezk]

The only thing i can complain on is stone it looks more like cobble or brick than normal rock/stone you would find in the ground ^^
The rest is amazing especially the items

[Cetus Amicus]

This is really high quality work! I am very impressed!

[SMP]

This is seriously the most impressive texture pack I've seen so far.

edit: it reminds me a lot of Uncharted, which is awesome.

[SaiyanKirby]

Didn't know MineCraft could look this good... Wow.

[Allezk]

http://img827.images.../unt22itled.jpg    showing the remains of my house after an fire accident ^^

http://img521.images... ... asdled.jpg some farming + fire         Should it be purple on all sides except one ? i just thought it was bugging that it wouldn't animate properly but not that it's purple

http://img718.images...untitasdled.jpg    some terrain

http://img687.images...84/20900538.jpg and finally the start of my new house under the old one

[sademerzel]

this looks great keep us updated i abandoned my project cuz this one just looks way better

[Catgoth]

WOW! I am definitely saving this pack. Awesome job.

[ANARKY]

In for later.

[ANARKY]

I really love the quality of this texture pack but it kills me that you made the natural smooth stone man made brick....it doesnt make sense. The quality of it is amazing though but I won't use it unless thats changed.

[Catgoth]

For those that don't want the smooth stone to be brick, I threw together a rough fix until (or if) the original author changes it or adds an alternative. (Also the ores, as their background was also oddly brick).
(Save As: terrain.png, as ImageShack changes the file name to avoid duplicates)

Otherwise, I love this pack! Although I noticed a significant fps reduction and lag. Also, since the items are high res, they have the unbearable glitchiness on the sides. D:

[ANARKY]

^^Nice I might have to give that a try.

[Seiseki]

This looks really awsome.
I like the contrast and the style, most blocks loop very poorly though, like grass, dirt, leaves. Cobblestone and stone also have strange dark edges on top and bottom, I also don't like that natural stone looks like cobblestone.
The icons are amazing though.

[Chippermonkey]

The regular stone and the fact that you swing the shovel's handle at the ground are killers for this. I'm probably going to have to manually fix the shovel thing. haha

[Artheido]

Nice. Shovels are the wrong way round though and smooth stone looks too bricky. Great work, like the mob redesigns too but I prefer default mob skins.

[CG62]

Oh god this is amazing.

[Caldo]

i love it but i need help, my trees turned into this

[Allezk]

""i love it but i need help, my trees turned into this""



Run it on fancy graphics. your using the fix i guess? if you look in the terrain.png it's like that.
Not sure if it's like that in the real one to.


meh i failed with the quote when i removed the pic oh well ^^

[Caldo]

fancy worked thankyou
