So I've been working on this pack for a few months now, and it's finally reached the stage where I'd consider it done. It's not DONE done, there's still plenty of stuff I'd like to add (a better interface, for example). I was inspired heavily by the Quandary pack, but all the textures used in Sombercraft are 100% my own (Besides water, which is slightly modified Painterly, and lava, which is Coteriecraft. As of 1.3, I used Photorealism's foliagecolor.png and grasscolor.png, both slightly edited. Props to them, I'll change it in the future.) Sombercraft is based off the default pack, but I've enhanced nearly every block.
Version 1.2 introduced custom foliage color and liquids, which require the patcher.
I'd highly recommend it, bettergrass looks killer as well.
It's a work in progress, so there's still lots I need to get around to adding, including
-Chickens
-Interface (buttons and such)
-Minecart tracks
-Minecarts and boats
-finish items.png
-custom weather
-custom liquids
-custom armor indicator
-Ghasts
-Slimes
-foliagecolor.png (DONE)
-finish paintings
The screenshots are pretty weak because I actually don't have a single player world going on right now (my comp **** the bed a few months back). So I'm asking you guys- if you enjoy this pack, please, send me some awesome pictures of your base! I'll add em if they look cool enough :biggrin.gif:
Anyway, here's what I have.
Awesome custom armor!
MOAR armor
Skylines and stuff
Completely redone mobs!
Well, minus squids and ghasts.
Psykedelic's awesome throne room!
Psykedelic's base!
I love criticism. I suppose I'll make all those fancy signature banners and stuff if this really takes off.
1.3 (6/4/11)
-Added 1.6 textures (trapdoors, grass, map)
-Borrowed Photorealism's foliage.png and grasscolor.png
-New furnaces and dispensers
-Shinier solid ore blocks
-Redid cobble AGAIN
1.2.02 (5/22/11)
-New wool
1.2 (5/14/11)
-Edited sand, cobble, dirt, grass, smoothstone, ores, ice, redstone, iron doors, leaves, bricks, and more stuff I'm probably forgetting.
-Messed with rain
-Slightly edited items.png
-Custom foliagecolor.png
-Custom liquids (modified Painterly for water, Coteriecraft for lava. I'll make my own in 1.3.)
1.1 (4/23/11)
-Less clouds
-Fixed redstone textures
-Made some slight changes to items.png (Stone looks more different than iron, iron has a bluish tint)
-Custom break animation! (May seem a bit hurried, I had to get this version out fast for the redstone fix. Subject to change.)
I think the best thing out of this is that diamond armor. I like that enough that I'm tempted to replace the items in the pack I'm using just for that.
The mobs are okay too. Liking those pigs.
Otherwise, I think you should get a little bolder with your color choices and really try to go for the 'somber' look, if that makes sense? Currently it's a little too close to default to really see a ton of difference at first glance.

...also your username is hilarious.
My goal is to have the pack look similar to the default, I redid every block ever-so-slightly. Thanks for your input!

The sides of the grass are nice, as are the pigs and armour. However the stone tiles and I'm not too fond of the white trees ( what ever they are called ).
I didn't notice too much stone tiling, I wanted it to stand out a bit and not just be a blurry mess. I'll see what I can do.

Ah, okay! If I look at it with that in mind it's very well done.
I actually do like it better than default, I just didn't get it was meant to be subtle.
I like it. Judging from the screenshots, I think I really like what you did to the planks and cobblestone. If anything, you may have made the cobble look too pretty.

Awesome! I've been looking for a texture pack that actually stayed close to the original, but updated some things. I liked Quandary Pack for that reason, but he never updates that. Thanks man!
You need to fix redstone asap, when you lay it down like a wire, there is no texture, and it just looks tacky. i use redstone alot, please fix soon
At least in the version I'm using, unpowered redstone wire is pitch black, and powered redstone is the correct color. It didn't use to be this way, but Notch changed the redstone location on the terrain.jpg, making it greyscale. If you use the default pack, unpowered redstone is black as well, and I don't know of a way to fix this. Does this describe your problem?
Edit- Oh, I see. pink blocks. Dammit, he changes redstone around so much!
Edit 2- Fixed it! Disregard everything above this, I'll release v.1.1 in a few hours that will have many other fixes as well.

Bump.
The mobs are okay too. Liking those pigs.

EDIT: And I think I like the glass too
Do you mind if I take that bro?
Ucoolbro?

This is the pack that I am using the most now
At least in the version I'm using, unpowered redstone wire is pitch black, and powered redstone is the correct color.

good thing, it was almost time to drink my own ****. thanks, i love your texture pack
It looks a lot like my texture pack, I guess that's why I like it so much..
