BETTER THAN DEFAULT
16 x 16 texture pack

I made this texture pack because i wasn't satisfied with the default textures but i found it weird when i used other texture packs that changed the feel of the game to much.

So this texture pack is one that I made to not be a variation for the original textures to much but clean them up a little.

updated for 1.9 pre release. screenshots coming soon :smile.gif:

Here are some pics :smile.gif:

(some are a little big so you may need to zoom out of the page a bit)

the inventory:

my terrain:

default terrain:

the differences:
[spoiler]no grey bits in the dirt,
no random darker pixles on the wood plank,
a stone texture on the (stone)slabs,
the flowers,
that one pixle on the sand that once you notice really bugs you because its right in the corner and is darker than all the rest of the pixles...
a more craked feel in some of the ore blocks,
the mushrooms,
the ores,
redder obsidion,
crafting table,
the glass,
the ice,
the furnaces and dispencer,
the jukebox,
the trapdoor has bigger holes,
the finished growing wheat,
the craked stone brick,
cleaner pumpkin textures,
redder nether blocks,
pistons,
chocolate cake,
the birch(but only slightly),
purple beds and sandstone

my items:

the differences:

pumpkin and watermelon seeds,
the dusts(redstone,glowstone,gunpowder and sugar),
proper redstone repeater,
cleaner food,
iron shears,
feathers and arrow heads on the arrows of the bow animation,
watermelon slice being around the right way for when you eat it and with white pips to go with the black ones and a cleaner boat and minecart

Quote from MrJason005

i just love the ores

thanks :biggrin.gif:

I always thought the ores in minecraft didnt make very much sence so i changed them to something i thought was a little more clean

just a quick question: should i post the default pics along side them? so that the difference between some is a little more obvious.

Yep because i can only see the difference in some blocks not the grass or stone etc..

also added the pumpkinblur pic which i would like some feed back on

Quote from 95LutherL

really nice for a beginner i would say i myself am thinking of doing an texture pack

thanks :smile.gif:

do you have any ideas for what i could change about it because i know that it isn't finished yet but i'm not really sure what else needs changing.

Quote from VaioGames

I like the pack but the glass and the light stone could be changed as the point of the glass can get away.
Sorry for my bad english i use the google translator... :biggrin.gif:

thanks but i'm not really sure i understand :tongue.gif:.

i think you are saying that the bourder of the glass is a bit weird and you don't really like the glowstone being orange. i understand what you mean with the glass and i might change it but i quiet like the way the glowstone looks; sort of how i imagine crystalized lava would look :smile.gif:.

Quote from cob50nm

looks nice, gave it a download but i'm gona use it a bit before i give a full oppinion :smile.gif:


EDIT: played it a bit, some of the differences are hard to notice but when you do notice them they are quite nice.

the only things i dont like about it are the background to the inventory screen,the diamonds and the dots on the glass, my favourite changes are the ores they look awesome and the creeper's new texture scared the **** out of me luckily i was outside so i spotted it :tongue.gif:

thanks for the input :smile.gif:

I'm not to sure about the inventory screen either but i'm not really sure what else i could put.
i think that the diamonds make a bit more sence then the do in default and many other texture packs but i may still change it yet.
i didn't want to change the glass so it was completely see through because of how much it would differ from default and i think that having less dots in the glass but still some looked good but i am still a bit iffy about the rims so i would really like some input on those.

i am open to any suggestions you have so please tell me of any ways you think i could improve the pack :biggrin.gif:

Iron ore should have the same color as it's ingot did . :3

Quote from Thegreateinjernar1234

i thought about it but i think of the iron ore as if it has rusted quite a bit and iron ingots as if they have been more refined and has had the rust "melted" off.

Iron in the ore state is rust colored and is only silver or metalic colored after it has been processed. That is the reason that it is usually pink or orange in texture packs.

Very nice changes, if you are still working on this texture pack, I look forward to see where you take it. As it is, very good job on it.

thanks a lot :smile.gif:

i am still working on the pack and will hopefully continue to do so as updates come out with textures that i don't like :tongue.gif:

just 3 words:i. love. it.

thank you so much :biggrin.gif:

But now that i know that you love it can you think of ways to improve it?

Quote from Alcosaurous

I think I love you.

although i appreciate the compliment, it doesn't really help with the continuation of the texture pack. This is because right now i am out of ideas for where to go with it and really need some input on what can be done to improve it :smile.gif:

Nice job for a beginner! this is great though you could change a few more things. nice job getting rid of the grey spots in the dirt. I'm sure now that people that havent noticed that before will now not be able to not notice it :biggrin.gif:

for effort

thanks for the compliment. :wink.gif:

Bringing attention to the little things in textures that bug me also has the added (unforseen) effect of making people feel really bugged when playing default and making them want to use my texture pack

MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!

no but seriously i know that these things bug me so are bound to bug some other people.



again i still need ideas on what to change next :wink.gif:
