Overgrown is a texture pack set in an overgrown world long after the fall of man. Where the player is one of the few surviving humans.
I cannot claim this pack is entirely by me (yet). This pack borrows a few textures from my other pack (Croco's Pack). I also have placeholders by History and Glimmar. To see everyone who has helped me on this pack, look at the bottom of the page under "credits".
1. Download the pack and Kahr's HD Texture Fix.
2. Open up Minecraft's texture pack folder (can be opened up from inside of Minecraft) and drop the "Overgrown.zip" file inside of it.
3. Open Kahr's patcher. Its very straight forward, all you do is click "patch".
4. Open up Minecraft and select the "Overgrown" texture pack. And that's it!

Wow. From the screenshots, this looks like some high quality stuff. I'll download and check it out more fully.
EDIT: Well, being the first post, I feel obligated to give one of my larger reviews, so here goes. In order of what I saw:
That splash screen is absolutely beautiful, please don't change it. I literally sighed with pleasure when I saw it. Its simple, elegant, and the text is well visible.
Your menu is clean, and well colored as well. The logo is an unfortunate bit, but that's not your fault. I would recommend making your own though; The new one isn't really the greatest. Sorry Mojang; but you goofed on that one.
New world, SMPCommands, I start spawning stuff.
I personally really like your dirt. It's smooth, and the sidegrass is easy on the eyes; its not too glaring, but when closely inspected, its a bit too soft.
That creeper is terrifying, leave it be. That mouth... Its the first creeper I've seen with an open mouth. It gave my quite a jump. My only suggestion is to make it a little less round.
The spider is an interesting one; if I may suggest, give it a role to play in this post-apocalyptic land. Why was it created, what created it, why does it have a wire basket as its "abdomen". Is it kidnapping other creatures for their parts?
The cow is wonderfully mutated, and I can only hope the armor (When it comes!) is equally as purple.
That pig zombie... Its absolutely amazing. It gave me the idea that, whatever this apocalypse was, people caused it by going into the nether, and it mutated and killed them. And turned them into pigs. Its stellar.
Your nuclear lava is excellent, as is your water. The two mixed parts, Cobble and Obsidian, both look great as well; and the cobble being metal plates makes me think the water is so full of iron, high heat and radiation just instantly turns it to solid metal. Granted, it has rivets, but, suspension of reality. :wink.gif:
Chests and furnaces are fitting, though the chests could use a bit indication that they're chests; they blend a bit with your cobble.
Smoothstone looks awesome, no complaints there. Mossy Cobble also looks nice, a very rusted look.
I have a bit of an issue with your cactus, while it is clever, its also very hard to tell its a cactus. I tried to climb one, not realizing at first what it was. Unless, of course, that's your plan; to kill us all with pretend cacti. Heheh.
Ores are great, very noticeable and distinct. Especially coal, that made me chuckle.
I like your glowstone, but the netherrack is just a bit too odd looking. If you gave it a more organic texture, perhaps the nether would work as a single, radioactive organism with metal fixtures, but as it is, it looks to me like green tinfoil.
Your breaking animation is smooth, and it's a nice transition; not too large a jump, but noticeable, even on obsidian.
Ore blocks are excellent, no complaints there. Gold as caution blocks give them a use as building material, which is nice.
If you could possible make Brick and Sandstone tile together, that'd be a nice feature, Unless you have future plans for sandstone.
I'm not a huge fan of the Jack o' Lantern, but the pumpkin is eerie enough to make up for it. If you possibly make the face a bit sharper, it would be more appealing, as well as using a brighter shade for the face; it is giving off light, and the face currently just looks like a dull yellow smeared-on face.
Wools are great, no suggestions there.
I really like your glass as Iron Mesh, but if you could possibly widen up the mesh a bit to improve visiblity, or thin the sides of the glass, that would help see out of it.
Well, I probably missed plenty, but it's late. If there's anything else you'd like an opinion on, feel free to ask.
Very nice. I prefer this over steampunk, as the colors and blocks seem to blend together a bit more naturally.
Also if you could, change the torches. I don't really like them, maybe something a bit more... industrial..? I realize those are supposed to look it, but they don't to me. Make the casing of them look more like metal.
Wow. From the screenshots, this looks like some high quality stuff. I'll download and check it out more fully.
Thank you! I wish I had better screenshots though, all my maps were made to fit other texture packs and look rather strange with this pack. If you get any good pics while using this pack, be sure to post them!

I have bested you once Glimmar! Just kidding. Thanks for the compliments! I will try to make an alternate texture for you. Perhaps the same thing, except a little wider and more metallic with some caging around it?
Wow, this looks awesome!
Definitely gonna download and try it out!
Only on thing though, the dirt looks like it's a little TOO smooth. It could use a bit more texture or depth in it :smile.gif:
Apart from that though, this is awesome. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much! I know what you mean about the dirt, I tried messing with it, but it usually ends up looking sorta awkward. I'll try some more since its such an important part of any pack.

very nice!
Thanks! Was that meant to be read in a Borat voice? Because that's how I read it.
seems like a pretty nice texture pack, ill have to try it out. not sure if i like the look of the wolf though, not saying its terrible just doesnt appeal to me and im only one person so overall definetly guna download it =) great job

rofl..oh god... no. maybe a deliverance-esque "you shore got a purty mouth" voice.. anything but borat..lol
edit: robo-dog is awesome!
Lol, I had just watched Borat and I can still hear him saying "Very nice!". Its probably going to be a while before I can hear "very nice" and not think of Borat, lol. And thank you, they are very playful and energetic for robots!

Thanks! If you have any other suggestions for the wolf, I would definitely give them a try. The thing is, I tried to make a regular wolf, but it looked really out of place. So then I made a swamp monster wolf, but that just looked really ugly, so I went with the robodog, which seems to work rather well.
Just checked out the texture pack and messed around and spawned myself a bunch of different items, pretty incredible if i do say so myself, and not guna lie didnt realize that night came and i just put a door in my little shelter, looked back a creeper was there and scared the s*** outa me, insane texture pack love the futuristic feel to it, and didnt realize everything was all robotic like animal wise, well for most part from what i saw, great job dude love it =) many more for you and why not ill give you some too =) great work keep it up =D
Oh god. Attack of the giant exploding swamp penises! I do need to make those, but I already have the zombie as a swamp monster, so I'll try to make a different variation for the creeper.

Sorry about the double post! This comment just ninja'd me. Anyways, thank you for the compliments (and diamonds, so far you have given the most)! I appreciate it! And I literally loled at that story! That happened to me too! R.I.P Wall-e (my first pet wolf) =( .

Thank you! That's the atmosphere I was aiming for!
WHY HAVEN'T YOU UPDATED CROCO'S PACK?
*cries*
:tongue.gif:
Lol, sorry about that! I was working on this pack. Now that its released, it'll be easier to multitask. So there will be an update sometime soon.
