Thanks for putting so much work into this; I really like using it. I look forward to the 1.8 update, too.

there is already a partial-feature beta version for 1.8, see page 553

Does MC patcher make your minecraft game faster? cause I need something to do that.

nope, optifine does. mcpatchcer is JUST for resource packs here's optifine:

My texture packs are broken. I used McPatcher but it gave me this:

-snip-

I asked my friend and he said to re-install java. I did but that's broken too. Please help!

buddy, next time use a spoiler...

Another thing quickly, is mipmapping broken in vanilla MC1.8, or is it just my setup? The slider just locks up and it takes an age to leave the Options menu and there's no difference in game, but it worked fine in 1.7.

This happens to me too so it's not just you.

I don't know if this is actually associated with you guys or not. Somehow I doubt it.

I Googled mcpatcher and the first result was http://www.mcpatcher.net/. When I downloaded the .exe from there and went to run it, AVG gave me a virus warning, so I killed and deleted the file, and came here, which seems to be the official page. It's probably a false positive, but the OP holds no mention of mcpatcher.net, so I'm posting to make you aware of it in case you're not.

(Incidentally, Bitbucket seems to be down; I can't download either the .exe or the .jar from there.)

Thanks for letting me know; I'll wait for the full update, though.

*facepalm* Sorry for the double-post.

Ohh I came here with the same greyed out options issue, so I'm glad someone else already ran into it. I want this so that I can run Glimmar's steampunk pack with full functionality.

Download MCPatcher for 1.8 Preview 2: exe jar

Changes since last preview:

• Basic CIT functionality. Item replacements and enchantments appear to work, but have not been extensively tested.
• CTM now tries to auto-convert block:metadata to property=value format. This should be a great help to artists updating their packs to 1.8, but there are limitations. See below for details.
• On the patcher Options tab, you can set Connected Textures logging to Config to force the game to dump all block properties and their possible values on startup. This is a lot of output, so copy it to a text file for easier reference.
• Reimplement CTM connect=tile.
• Reimplement CTM linked=true.
• Better CTM support for special cases like rotated logs, etc.
• Custom wolf collar, armor, sheep, map colors.
• Current features backported to Minecraft 1.5.2. This needs testing with BTW in particular.
• Patcher now remembers its window size and position.
• Many bug fixes.

NOT working yet (partial TODO list):

• Better Grass (side grass texture).
• Better Glass (extra render passes).
• CTM for fluid blocks.
• Custom font colors.

The block:metadata conversion attempts to interpret old numerical metadata values as block state properties. When you have a block:metadata rule with no properties specified, MCPatcher makes its best guess at a proper 1.8 equivalent. Check the output log for messages like

 minecraft:mcpatcher/ctm/granite/base.properties: expanded minecraft:stone:2 to variant=smooth_granite

This means you should use (in your properties file)

 minecraft:stone:2:variant=smooth_granite

The conversion is not perfect, however, and may require manual tweaking, especially for multipart blocks like beds and double plants.

Here are the default rabbit egg spawn colors for color.properties:

egg.shell.Rabbit=995f40
egg.spots.Rabbit=734831

The 1.8 update is still a struggle to work with, hence the slow progress. Understanding the code better hasn't really raised my opinion of it much. I still find it brittle and stubbornly resistant to every attempt to swap out textures dynamically, which is the heart of CTM and CIT. All for the sake of the frankly dubious optimization of baking custom model data into int arrays. Which is likely undone by having to allocate a new object for every replacement texture of every face of every model.

The .jar file fails to create a patched jar.
