Another reason more people aren't using HD textures might be because they have to jump through all this crap so they can have HD textures. They try figuring it out, get lost after an update, and give up. I'm guessing there are plenty of people playing who aren't really that adept at searching forums and whatnot.
The thread linked previously on GetSatisfaction was mine. But it's only at 78. Use THIS thread instead, since it's at 276 or so. If you don't like HD textures, go elsewhere. This entire thread is for 32x32 and up. We don't troll 16x16 texture posts saying how they suck.

Oh, and when you start charging people for your product, the consumer has EVERY RIGHT to demand things of the developers. EVERY RIGHT.
I couldn't agree more. Especially since it's still in Beta, which is what people keep using as a shield. Fix the damn bug, and more people will enjoy Minecraft. Period. Why WOULDN'T that be a good thing? If you don't like HD, you can still stick with the 16x16 crap. I love the game, and I'm glad Notch made it. It's excellent...but, the 1986 graphics can be bettered and will make the experience nicer. All we want is the integrated OPTION to CHOOSE.
Thank GOD for Xau, seriously. If you had a Paypal donate button, I would send you over money right now. You have earned it, and made the game that much better for me, and hundreds of others.

Completely agree with your point about jumping through hoops to get HD Textures. Example: I just got into Minecraft like a week ago...but I'm now hooked pretty hardcore. However, early on, I figured out how to change the textures and used the Mixcraft HD texture. So, basically, I have been playing on HD Texture 75% of the total time I've played Minecraft. Also, I was just able to get my sister hooked on Minecraft a few days ago...again, using Mixcraft Textures. Well, today I was forced to go back and use the default textures, and while the game is still completely playable and still enjoyable, I feel like my experience with the game is so less satisfying than before. For someone like my sister (who has only played with HD Textures), she'll be extremely disappointed.
My point to that example is that if something like this happens, and Xau doesn't get around to updating the patch in a relatively timely manner, I may fall out of love with Minecraft and stop playing altogether and move on to another game (my sister will for sure not want to play with default textures). Minecraft would have had me as a long-time consumer, but then made this silly oversight and lost a large segment of it's market.
NO IT F*CKING DOESN'T!!!!!! LEARN TO READ THE F*CKING POSTS! Sorry, to get p*ssed off about this, but you guys are just so ignorant! not just you MrPunk, everyone else too! you were just the one i clicked.
Some of us don't feel like reading through a forum to find an answer, especialy when it goes offtopic about copyrights and crap that just makes it harder to sift through.

It wouldn't hurt if you used your brain a bit though. Why would a mod made to work for an outdated version of the game work for the new, updated version?
Hell, you could have just run the patcher and see for yourself.
anyone stop to think...maybe...just maybe..if you keep arguing in this thread it might get locked and take us even longer to find the update when it comes? just sayin..there is another forum for that >.>

**********! It was just a question ****************. Go have your *********** somewhere else, and you expect me to read a Topic that has 20-?? PAGES! Plus it goes off the line with Macontosh which I can care less about and Copyright. Which I too could care less about!
Has Xau said anything about when a update is coming? Gotta love those HD texture packs!
Don't think so, but come on, the 1.3 patch has been out for half a day. Depending on the timezones, Xau might have slept through the whole process. Unlikely that he was able to dig into the changes that quickly.
The 1.3 patch has been out. WTF I tried it an hour ago and it wasn't compatible with 1.3

Because it came out today...Like the previous post said, he could have been sleeping through it. I'm impatient too, but you have to realize that a new HD patch is unlikely to come out the day of the update for the game.
Listen,I got my HD texture pack working WITHOUT the fixer! Just put your HD pack in the texture pack folder and enable it through minecraft itself and viola.
I did that too, but it doesn't animate certain stuff like fire and water flowing, which is what the patcher was for.

I tried too, I got the black screen for 12 minutes and then java closed.
I love how, as I was typing for people to check the thread title and the changelog, I looked up and saw the title changed and now does indeed say 1.3 is supported. However it's not full, compass problems etc? o-o Regardless, now people can at least get some of their HD fix lol. No more whining, woo.
Edit: xau beat me =p regardless, thanks for the speedy release, looking forward to the fully operational release =)
Well, its not working for me either and it was doing fine before the update, so I think 1.3 borked it.
Oh ok thanks, just making sure it wasnt my computer.
