First off, I would like to introduce myself. My screen name, as you can see, is Net_Bastard. I specialize in making low-res packs (which is basically anything below 16x). And this is the first one, a 4x pack. It's called Net_Bastard's Epic Low-Res. I make low-res packs because they are much easier to make, and they help out people who do their computing on a toaster. I used to have a toaster before I built a gaming rig, so I feel their pain.
IMPORTANT NOTE: YES, I DID RESIZE THE TERRAIN.PNG TO 64x64!!! WHY THE **** WOULDN'T I!? If you link me to TheFiftyNiner's study, there will be blood and limbs. Your limbs.
NOTE #2: Due to resizing issues, the items.png and the kz.png are 8x instead of 4x.
PROGRESS:
Terrain: 75% done
Items: 1% done (I just resized them and did nothing else.)
Mobs: 85% done (I did everything (including the char.png) except for the skeletons and the nether monsters. Oh and I couldn't do Endermen for reasons that are kind of hard to explain.)
Environment: 50% done (still don't know whether or not I want to edit the sun and moon)
GUI: 0% done (I used EpixPivotMaster's templates, and he's not finished with the GUI yet so it isn't downloadable)
KNOWN PROBLEMS: A little glitch in the torches, switches, and redstone torches due to the pixel count.
UPDATE 1.1 IS NOW OUT! This release has better looking glass and better tiled grass.
SEXY, SEXY SCREENIES (Please note that some of these screens are from v1.0 and therefore outdated)
It looks really well done for what it is. It must have taken a lot of effort to make the textures on such a small resolution, Good job. With some of the insanely high resolutions that some people are putting out for texture packs, it's good to see that someone is looking out for people who run this game on older systems.

Actually, the effort was basically just taking a bunch of noiseless blocks and airbrushing the **** out of them. It did take me about 3 days though, and it was very repetitive.

Net_Bastard's Epic Low-res! As much awesomeness that you can cram into a 5x5 texture pack, and then some!
The grass doesn't tile very well, and the glass looks a bit odd (though I'm not sure what you can do about that). Other than that, this seems like a reasonable pack for those with FPS issues.

Yeah I actually didn't intend the glass to look like that. I thought that I could make the white edges translucent with the airbrush tool. Also thought that I could do the same thing with the fancy GFX tree leaves. Didn't work.

I thought this was a joke, but then I looked at the pig, and suddenly saw the whole pack in a new light. This whole pack is ADORABLE! Right now, I'm overlooking the fact that this may well be the easiest kind of pack to do in the world, and downloading it for cute pigs.
EDIT: Okay. Just gave it a hardcore speedtest. I encountered only two issues that affected playability in that time. The tops of tree leaves look EXACTLY like the tops of grass. I spent forever searching a cliffside for trees, and then discovered I'd actually walked on top of one more than once. The other problem is that all your crafting table is a pain to pick out from amongst wood or dirt blocks. It just doesn't have any crafting-tabley features to it. From the side, it is less identifiable than your wooden planks. Might want to put a symbolic hammer on the side or something.
The only other issue I saw was that the pigs seem to have something wrong with their faces. It could be the lack of snout or a poorly rendered snout. It just looked like it had one nostril that fazed in and out and also appeared to be smoking a black cigarette.
I like the "meh" face creepers.
Totally made my day to see that guy approaching me.

4x is not easy to do. If you had ever made any sprite art, you would know that making something look good with a very limited number of pixels is actually incredibly difficult.
Also, did you use the MC Patcher? If not, that might be why some things aren't working correctly.
Wow, looks good! I'd test, but for some reason, I can't use any texture packs below 16x or my game won't load. Here's an apple for your hard work. :-( ):
Ahaha, when I saw this I couldn't help but laugh a little ;D This actually looks pretty good for a super low res texture pack, though if someone actually used this for Minecraft to be playable, then I would be a little concerned ._.
Anyway, good job <3

Good O_O
By that, do you mean too much noise, or too big pixels?

This one looks nice too, though!

The glass looks a bit weird, but it's really hard to make glass on a 8x pack!
