THIS PACK REQUIRES MCPATCHER TO WORK PROPERLY.

NOW UPDATED FOR 1.2.5

20 April -

New update! I made some nice Improvements to a few common textures - a nice new bed with a rough wool blanket, new wool blocks, new grass texture, and an experimental candle-style torch.

I plan on the next update, v20, to be the 'finished' version of the pack. I'm going to do some serious work and try to get it 'done' before summer. For those of you who were waiting on a customizer, please wait until then. Not only do I not have many alternate textures, I also don't want to set up a customizer with the current textures since I'm going to be making radical changes for v20.
Thanks for using my pack.

Please tell people about my pack. Also, check out my YouTube channel if you haven't before: TobiwanK3nobi

Hi! My name is Tobiah, a.k.a. TobiwanK3nobi, and I've labored excessively to make Inspiration a contender among texture packs.

Inspiration is a texture pack designed for people who like to build massive and realistic structures. The primary goal for this pack is to provide textures which are perfectly seamless and rich in color and detail so that your architecture looks as lovely as you hoped it could. I've thrown all my creativity into this so I hope you like it.

Completed so far:
Terrain
Items
Particles
Environment(custom water, fire, rain, snow, etc.)
GUI
Misc Folder
Wildgrass compatible
Many mobs

To do:
The rest of the mobs
Character armor models
Wall art

Facts

• I've devoted approximately 1100 hours of work to the creation of this pack over the course of about seven months.
  
• The pack is free, to use, but if you would like to make sure I receive compensation for my labor of love, please spread the word about my YouTube channel or this texture pack. Tell all your friends, please!
  
• I have a YouTube channel. Check it out for interesting architecture, let's plays of Minecraft and various other games(in the future), and updates and art videos(mob skinning) relating to the texture pack.TobiwanK3nobi
  
• I had very little prior experience in digital art before I started this pack. I learned by scrutinizing the excellent works of Doku, Glimmar, and John Smith.

• Some changes to water, still needs improvement.
  
• Removed custom fire textures, as 1.9 breaks them. I'll have to do new ones later I guess. Le sigh.
  
• Uhh... changed sand and sandstone some. Bleh.

    [list]

  • New iron block
    
  • Changed all iron items to match iron block - no more dark iron, all is bright and shiny
    
  • New sandstone - good, no good? lmk
    
  • New ice
    
  • Changed biome colors to default because there were still saturation issues in certain biomes. I'll make another custom color spectrum later.
    
  • Changed bed a little
    
  • Restored 128x mobs, with some brightness and saturation changes
  v8
  
  • New creeper and zombie - decided to take the mobs down to actual 32x to fit the pack. If you preferred the 128x skins, don't worry - I'll be making them available in the customizer later.
    
  • New grass
    
  • New cobblestone
    
  • New brick

  • Biome grass color changes (no more poop colored grass)
    
  • Minor changes to the boat
    
  • New sandstone, but will be properly attended to in v9
    
  • Brightened and desaturated planks some more.
    
  • I THINK that's all. Don't worry, if the texture you have a problem with wasn't changed, be sure that I'll get to it in the future. Working hard on getting the customizer worked out too(it requires a lot of tedious and time-consuming texture selection, isolation, and uploading).
  v7
  
  • Made lots of textures brighter to make the pack easier on the eyes.
    
  • New wood planks again. Pretty sure I've found the right ones.
    
  • New glass
    
  • I'll get back to you. See, I stayed up all night to try and get the spider done. I failed. And it's about eight hours past my bedtime so I can't really think of what else I changed.
  v6
  
  • New creeper skin! Very creepy.
    
  • New wood planks - much improved
    
  • New map texture and map symbols
    
  • That's all... I think.
    
  • P.S. Since I can't seem to get everything done that I wan't to get done every week, I'm going to start updating biweekly instead of weekly. So check back every other Friday. Next update will be on August 5.
  Creeper texture
  v5
  
  • New water animation - much better - took 20 grueling hours to animate, during which time I made the blow-my-brains-out gesture at least a dozen times.
    
  • New title screen - very classy
    
  • New grass+dirt sides and recoloring of dirt to be more brown, less reddish
    
  • Wildgrass compatibility restored!
    
  • New iron bindings(again) on everything that has them
    
  • New iron door, with viewport/slit as requested by a few people
    
  • New gargoyle jack-o-lantern, as requested by dist7action
    
  • New wool textures, hopefully a happy medium between pixel art and decorative uses
    
  • New lapis block - not very good, just a temp fix
    
  • No new mobs. Water took up too much time.
  v4
  
  • New zombie texture! Check out the video below to see a time lapse of me drawing it.
    
  • New iron braces on everything that has them - chests, repeaters, etc. - everything but iron door, which I didn't have time to do. I'll get it synchronized next update.
    
  • New netherrack, apparently. It was actually just a test texture, but it ended up in the release. Oops. Oh well, if many like it, it can stay.
    
  • That's all I guess. Just wanted to get that zombie texture out there.
  v3
  
  • New stone! Changed all ore textures to tile with it.

  • New snow-dirt
    
  • New snow
    
  • New bush sprite

  • Added shears
    
  • New leaves
    
  • New bedrock
    
  • New glass
    
  • Moss Stone changed to blend with Cobblestone better
    
  • Wools standardized(no more patterns) for pixel art use
    
  • Contrast/saturation/brightness changed on dirt and grass to make them more interesting
    
  • Stone slab is now messed up due to some changes by Mojang in the way it's displayed. Not cool guys. Will fix later.

Thanks for this awesome texture pack.

Thanks for your awesome feedback.

I'm wondering if capslock up there even downloaded it. Cause I'm actually thinking about brightening a lot of the textures.

[trineops]

caps lock who cares. The pack looks great and he should stop acting as a caveman.

Download and used it for a while looks great

[ImaCREEPER]

The BEST pack there is, IMO. DLing now! Also, could you release the temple world (not just the seed)? I asked on the video, but it would be more official here.

Thanks! Yeah I'll try to get that out asap. Wait - how do I go about it? Do I just compile my save as a .zip and host on mediafire or what?

[TGI_Chris]

WOW!!
This is EPIC!!!!!!

[Gatosniper91]

I decided to download this pack before I put up a comment, Give it a sort of test run and get a feel for some things and how things look.

1. The way that you have done the colors and designs in each of the textures is nicly done, they are in perfect contrast. Everything is balenced an looks very nice.

2. Its your own designs and I love that tired of seeing too many tex packs with the same/similar style of ores, tools, amour, ect... You have taken your time and it shows very nice and I commend you sir.

3. I see that you are going to continue to finish up the mobs so I will not say anything bad about them since they are not done , but the nether mobs are amazing my friend most people do not take the time that you have and it looks very nice.

4. The animation of fire, water, rain, lava, ect are all very nicly done, I will continue to use this over Doku, just due to the simple creativness and hard work put into this (Doku is very good to, to anyone offended by that post)

Other than that everything is very good, words can not describe Good work and keep it up my friend!!!!

[Josh189]

Great Job! Most good packs out their are a little too dark for me but this is a great pack and it looks pretty bright I love it! Thank you for devoting so many hours of your time to make this for the community!
Pressing download in about 3 seconds can not wait to test it in game!

[garageband08]

i really like all the environment items but u lost me when i seen the monsters in the nether everything is exceptional but i don't like the nether, great job though.
EDIT: i downloaded it put it in my texture pack folder (zip form) it didn't work

[DannySmackaHo]

Holy shit you sir an an artist. this is one of the best texture packs I have ever seen.

[Harvey_J]

When do you predict the armor will be finished? I'd rather wait until it's done, but I must say that this is one of the greatest texture packs ever. And it'll be better when the armor is done.

Wow, everyone is being very supportive! I really appreciate all the constructive criticism. The fact that you plan on using it over Dokucraft is a huge compliment to me. Doku's works - along with Glimmar's, John Smith's, and many others - have been a big inspiration to me throughout the creation process. I referred to their packs often to see what I should and shouldn't do. So thanks - to them and you. To even be compared to them is an honor.

I'll try to get the armor done within a month. No promises though. Mobs come first, and I've got a YouTube channel to run.

Edit: if you want an idea of what the armors will look like, just check out the armor items. I'll be modeling the suits after those.

[Foozinator]

I really like this pack and plan to use it frequently. You've got a truly nice style going on; it's awesome to see a unique flair that doesn't deviate outlandishly from the original.

And you selected the pack in the Mods and Texture Packs menu? It's working for everyone else.

[Dr_Chillgood]

This texture pack is hands down the best one I have ever seen.
It's plain

[Goatouched]

Those nether mobs... Holy
They're amazing, but pretty high-res for a 32x pack.
