Nice, nice. But I feel like I really can't see the textures in the screenshots.

Thanks for the quick response. To address your point, you will find that the textures are all quite smooth anyway, as that is the style of the pack. By smooth, i mean there is not a lot of "pattern" in the texture. I find that pattern can look bad over large areas. But if it is that bad, i will post more close up screenshots. Thanks for the feedback!

(P.S. -- in that context, it should be "reeks" not "wreaks" ;P )

Reek = a strong, unpleasant smell
Wreak = to inflict or execute (punishment, vengeance, etc.)

Just backing you there.

I am loving the texture pack so far! I do have a few suggestions: Gravel is hard to tell what it is, and it's a bit too dark. I understand the pack should be themed dark, and I love the dark themed packs, but it's a bit too dark on certain textures. I would also suggest making the item icons and GUI a bit easier to tell what they are before you span over them.

I would also suggest giving a bit more personality to a few blocks up close. Such as the wood block. It looks great in trees, but if it's used in buildings, it looks almost like wool, and it's similar to your gravel texture.

Basically, for exploring, this pack is perfect, but it's a bit too hard to tell what item you have in your inventory, and a few textures are a bit too similar to each other.

Keep up the great work! This is going to be considered one of the great packs, I can already tell.

Thanks everyone! I'll make a start on all that stuff when I can.

I have uploaded some more handy screenshots, and fixed that embarrassing spelling error :L
In regards to the texture itself, i will not release any more of it until it is completed. This way, it will allow for more people to give their opinion on the original texture (and it is more exciting when the final copy is released!).
Please, if you like the textures the way they are, say so. I would like to know how many people actually prefer blocks to have more character and uniqueness.

Thanks to everyone for your support and feedback! I hope you enjoy this pack in it's early stages :tongue.gif:

Finally out, he has been working on it for a while :tongue.gif:

I commend your efforts! I've been looking for just this for a while. It's looking good, but could use some more work [I see the 'WIP' tag on it, so I know it is a what it is :wink.gif:]. I 100% support this!
I for one think the blocks should have some more uniqueness and character. To be honest can't stand how the wood looks right now. It's so plain for a 32x. Also, something about the side of grass-on-dirt blocks... it just... off. Not sure why. I also think the torches could be more sinister. I've seen some people make them 'fanged' [with spikes poking up around the flame]. Idk... just my two cents. It's your pack, you decide in the end what goes and what doesn't. :smile.gif:

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! and i'm glad you realise that it is what it is :tongue.gif: Hopefully i can get some more good feedback like this :biggrin.gif:

i have a small problem the water Looks like Black to me

use the patcher. If you have tried that, you may be using an old patcher

You might want to change the workbench so it doesn't include a pentagram. Many people find that offensive. That being said, it still is YOUR pack, do with it as you wish.

I apologise for my ignorance. It has been removed.

I also changed the log texture to something more interesting.

I suggest making the grass a bit more dead.

And the dirt needs to look a bit parched and mixed with rocks.

EDIT: It would be reeks.

Not wreaks. "Reeks of chaos" means "full of chaos"

IMO, it needs a lot more sinister in it. The torches, i love, but a lot of the textures are way to smooth to have a sinister feel to them.

Actually, i like the look of that wooden house in the last image you posted. That looked pretty sinister to me! :biggrin.gif:

Me again, from the first post. Your textures are coming quite nicely. I have an Enderman texture you can use in your pack, if you would like. It may seem a little out of place because it would be the only completed mob, but in the long run that's one less texture you have to take care of. It can be found here.

Thanks, i will consider it :biggrin.gif: i am not releasing any more until the entire pack is finished, so if i decide to use your texture it will be released with the full version. While it is definitely a great texture, i really like the original slender man with the suit :L But if i get lazy i will be sure to come to you :biggrin.gif:

Whatever you want, bro. It is your texture pack. (I will say a full-fledged Slenderman would look out of place though. I will also say it will be hard to make it look good with that annoying opening mouth it has, the real Slenderman doesn't have a mouth.)

This is why i am trying to take it slow from here on. I want this to be as close to perfect as possible, and the only way i can do that is if i put lots and lots of time and thought into it. And of all the mobs, endermen need to stand out because they fit with the theme of the pack perfectly. I'm just trying to say, there is lot's to think about, so much to consider. :S I'm not saying i don't like your texture.
I just want feedback from everyone on everyhting, that is all :L
