I started working on a texture pack just for fun. I got a few textures done, then zipped it up and loaded it into Minecraft. But I found that any block that was partially transparent (Torches, Ladders, Sugarcane, Glass, Water, etc.) had the transparent parts filled up with white. I am using Gimp, which is transparency-compatible, and never touched it with MS Paint. I looked at the file and everything that should be transparent is, it just doesn't look that way in-game. Can anyone help me?

You need to save the files as <filename>.png (portable networks graphics) image which is transperancy compatible
Hope this helps! :smile.gif:

I did that. Checked everything and it looks fine, all right names and types, just that transparent parts are white.

Use paint.net it keeps transparency and is free

show us your terrain.png?

Not that I know of.. I'll try that.
