also, i'm sorry about trying to get you to release sooner. i was being stupid. i know that hurrying you would only lower the quality of your work, and i'd hate for the pack to drop below your usual standards...
I still love this pack and believe it is the greatest ever made, but through it all, I've always had just one problem with it, and that's the gold block. Not really sure what the deal is with it, and I'm sure you just wanted it to be unique from the other ore blocks, but I don't like that it has a directional face (Is it a bear or a trophy?) and I would very much like it to be just a little more representative of the fact that it is a gold block. I think the coolest thing you could do would be to make it into somewhat of a gold brick texture kind of like what you did with emerald blocks. All this being said, I think that there are many people who do enjoy the current gold texture, so you could very well leave it as the default and merely include an alternate version for those of us that want something a bit smoother.
Here's an example I came up with in a couple minutes, if I can figure out how to add a picture. It's obviously not perfect by any means and needs to be mellowed out to match the rest of your pack, but I just thought I'd show you what I mean.
@Shendo: It's meant to be a golden bull head with a ring through its nose.
When I made the gold block, I figured it would be hard to get a lot of it, so I designed it to be a single decorative block, rather than something meant to be used as a wall. This was before creative mode was even available. I also designed it to tile with a "cheaper" block, iron in this case, so that you could use it together. I think the gold block is one of the defining features in my pack, so I won't be changing it. I may make alternatives at some point, but I want to get the main content out of the way first.
@Deonyi: I'll look into it, but I'm not sure if much can be done about it. When a small texture is tiled over a large area, you're always going to see some degree of repetitiveness. Unless ofcourse you make it really low contrast and featureless, but that's no fun either.

Looks beautiful Wayuki! Love your stained glass! Your flowers are amazing aswell. I love every little bit of this update. I hope one day I could be as good as you and sheep.
As usual, beautiful. Now onto the subject of the remaining nether dwellers, just so you don't forget the remaining nether dwellers are the blaze, pigman, and magma cube. why am i saying this? EVERYONE FORGETS THE MAGMA CUBE!!! so refer to this post if you think you're forgetting a nether dweller
Oh, I have plenty of stuff left besides the mobs, LOL!
The paintings, the portal animation, the fire animation, the explosion, the logo and splash screen, the pumpkin blur... possibly a font, too.

Bah, that isn't too much. At least most of that stuff isn't particularly difficult anyway like the logo, 'splosion, splash screen and blur.
The paintings will probably take quite a while but they're fun to do anyways. Just normal pixel art or brush painting if you're doing them by hand, pretty relaxing after doing tiles and mob skins for so long!

Curse Premium@lordofthepies: don't worry, I will not forget the magma cube. I'm very thorough when going through the textures I need to make.

Curse PremiumHmmm, you probably don't have much to go now, just a few more mobs and then you'll be complete? (only a few nether mobs now too IIRC)
