Joliween beats everything else by miles and miles. It's the only pack in here that I would actually use at all. The orange moon, the cross'ed sandstone, the dirty floors! It's simply beautiful, and everything fits so well into the Halloween/Autumn theme. I've gotta say, the one thing that tipped the scales on my vote is the orange grass. None of the other texture packs have that! Andrejolicoeur is a clear winner.

I think these polls are kind of unfair because some people always look at the first one, think it's decent, and vote for it without even looking at any of the others.
Wow it's an honor to make the top 12 for sure. I even upgraded my Photobucket account cause it went over bandwidth lol, you should all be able to see my pics now, wasn't expecting that to happen, haha.
I know mines only 16x but I actually chose it so everyone could see it and I wasn't sure HD tp's were allowed when I first started. As a side note I usually work with a 64x tp and find 16x actually more difficult to work with because you have to try to convey the image idea with very little pixel to work with, the ax in my door is a great example of an idea I had that had very little space to put detail into. Some people don't like that I semi-gray toned some of the texture but I liked the horror movie feel it gave me when I actually played with it. Plus I don't hate the default texture and usually have to play with them every patch update until other packs get updated, so it felt like Minecraft actually turned into a horror film, lol.
Also mine is 1.9 pre-5 compatible mainly because I always play with the latest and greatest and didn't want to see (or not see) purple blocks all over the place. Also I didn't want other people who play 1.9.p5 to run into invisible netherbrick fences, :tongue.gif:
If you vote for me or not I just want to say thanks for looking at the pack I made and I loved working on it and coming up with ideas. I had a blast and thought I didn't do too horrible for my second ever texture pack and my first one at 16x.
Thanks everyone and Good luck to all the contestants, we're all winner for making top 12!

I love yours the most! :tongue.gif:
why was creepy craft in? You know its just the default with 1 simple color hue change command in Paint.Net, at least put Leo's in there! -___-
Why does everyone keep saying this? :dry.gif: first of all, it was Adobe Fireworks :tongue.gif: second of all, I swear people don't even look at my pictures... they glance at the first one, obviously not really looking at the pic cause I listed all the things you can see changed [and not changed] in the other contest thread and then they ignore the second one, it's disappointing to witness... /sigh and it's not the fact that you like it or not, it's the fact that you say all I did was change the hue...
After looking at these I sorted them mentally into "halloween-only" and "all year round". The biggest problem I have with using Halloween packs outside of the season is the orange grass. That said, the two orange-grass packs were probably the best overall, because their textures were uniformly original and well made.
I favour Mine Co. over Joli by a thin margin. Oddly enough, while I can see the appeal and color harmony of original Jolicraft, I didn't care for it personally and stopped using it. The Halloween edition does justice to the original, and seems to work well with the Halloween components, but Mine Co. really does feel like a snappy Autumn evening.
All-year-round use seems to go to Croco15. The Grim Pack reminded me of every Hellboy comic I ever fell in love with. The grass really looks frostbitten, wood looks weathered and bleak, trees have that very late-Fall look. It's just breathtakingly desolate. And the Nether is well-handled. It's not bleak at all - it's dark, and fetid, and toxic. When you immerse yourself in a Grim world, it is not just autumn, it is morbidly, supernaturally, Eternally Autumn. And the Eternal feel is what gives it life beyond Oct. 31.
Second runner-up is Korthos' Dark Redemption. Again, somber colors mixed and matched to produce a new, chilling feel. It's just a tad brighter than Grim Pack, very nice for an Irish Epic RPG, but while the mists roll and the wind howls, the Morrigan doesn't quite ride through across this one. It's suitable enough for use on any day of the year, but feels a lot like other Medieval-craft packs which are also perennial, but suited for a particular era.
The Raining Darkness pack was a close match with Korthos' but the textures were simpler, and this was unappealing to me for some reason. This is a big problem for makers of "simple" or "clean" texture packs. For some people, removing the various textures and subtle hues from the blocks detracts from the sense of material diversity. For me that was most apparent in the Nether, where two radically different materials dominate the hellscape: a brittle, volatile porous Netherrack crisscrossed by veins of murky, tarry Soul Sand.
The high resolution packs chosen for this contest were interesting, but did not reach their full potential using the higher resolution. I thought Drfrozenfire's 'anatomical hearts and stomachs' theme was cute and creative, and sort of wish it were part of the regular 16x pack in some way. Alas, it doesn't work out.
The probability that human intelligence developed all the way from the chemical ooze of the primeval ocean solely through random sequences of random mechanical processes has been aptly compared to the probability of a tornado blowing through a gigantic junkyard and assembling by accident a 747 jumbo jet.
Hey I don't mean to prod but the pics are not the points I submitted in my final entry and the name of my pack is not "halloween pack", it is Fear.
Could you please update this?
Everyone thanks for voting in this! Specially those who voted for me

I must say, I like yours the most.
No, one pack showed and enchating table which is 1.9. Yours probably didn't make it. Sorry mate.
Goodbye...Mine CO. Halloween Edition or Joliween? They're both pretty nice...

Great job everyone!
Texture packs with more than 32x32, really look ugly in MineCraft.
