Are you a vanilla-texture MineCrafter, who can't understand how people can stand using texture packs? Have the familiarity and beauty of the default textures whisked you into a texture-pack-free gaming environment? Then this may finally be the texture pack for you!
Note: I have since updated the texture pack for the most recent snapshot, and changed the below download link, adding in new blocks and mobs. I've updated the new wood blocks and added in the separations on planks, as well as made jungle planks more knotty, I textured the quill and book, as well as written book, to match my book style, I removed the title visible on the book from the normal book (so that it's added on when you write in the book), recolored the pages of the book to match the GUI, recolored the back of the gui and added in leather ends to match the style of my books, recolored maps to match the gui, retextured the strange emerald ore to match existing ores (the default one is completely whack), and added in any new gui's, items, and blocks that I didn't care to retexture, such as the ender chest. I plan to change the lamp in the future, but I'll do that later. Enjoy!
Soloman's Touch Ups
So basically, I'm the kind of guy that has yet to find a texture pack that I love more than the default (except maybe Frenden's pack, but that's a different story). That's not to say that there are no better looking texture packs: It's just that there's something about the default that I can't find in any other pack. However, that's also not to say that the default is perfect. In fact, there have always been a bunch of little things about the default that bother me. My reaction, of course, was to fix those things! Over a year or so of editing and fixing things in the default, I decided to release my personal pack to the public, after running a successful pilot study on my friends. So here you have it.
The first thing you may notice is nothing at all. It seems to look exactly like the default, right? Well that's the plan! Basically, I've changed small things with the default, while retaining it's artistic style and feel. I myself might have forgotten some changes I've made, so the change list might not even be complete! Hah, oh wells!
CHANGELIST:
New weapons, tools, and armor! I hated how they were all basically recolors of each other, so I made each one unique! (STILL WORKING ON GOLD ARMOR.) Wood tools look thrown together, stone looks bulky, iron is default, and diamond is sharp and heavy! As a bonus to myself, golden is Arabesque. Deal with it.
Better clay coloration, to match bricks! (Not lame pink, actually dark red clay color.)
Saplings are now acorns, pinecones, catkins, and cocoa pods!
Iron and gold blocks look like stacked up ingots, and tile very well with brick!
Diamond blocks look like a bunch of sharp diamonds put together, and tile well with cobble!
Diamond blocks and ore are recolored to match the item, weapons, tools, and armor!! (NOTE: an alternative is provided in the terrain.png and items.png that have all diamond stuffs recolored to match the diamond ore, which is a much lighter blue as opposed to the greeny blue of the tools and item. You can choose whichever one suits you. This whole thing is caused by an inconsistency in color in the default texture.)
Better books! (Unwritten books don't have a title, cool red and brown leather binding, GUI to match)
Cobblestone and mossy cobblestone made darker and recolored, and mossy stone blocks are recolored so that the mossy's both tile together!
Because of the extreme amount of pictures already being shown, I'll just stick the rest of the screenshots in a spoiler and you can see the changes for yourself!
Ores changed around a bit! (Emerald fixed.)
Moon supports phases, and becomes more orange as it approaches a full moon.
Slabs are different. Like 'em or hate 'em. If enough people say so, I'll provide the default as an alternative.
Possible use: oven fan!
Better tiling with redstone stuffs.
Shorter tall grass, because it annoyed me.
Different doors and trapdoors (not pictured).
Different experience bar that fits with the GUI better, and feathers added to arrows during bow animation!
Sheep segregation! (This happened naturally... )
Changed GUI, and some random items. (Look at the pretty map icon!)
Here's a changelist I wrote a while ago, it might be out of date, but meh.
Shoddy-style wooden tools!
Sone-age-style stone tools!
Futuresque-style diamond tools!
Arabesque-style golden tools!
Lighter cobblestone!
Darker stone brick! (Cobble and stone bricks are now matched in value, so that they look good together.)
An experience bar I made myself!
Mossy cobble and mossy stone match!
Arrows have flint tips instead of silver ones, to match recipe!
Fishing rod's hook matches the hook that appears when you use it!
Made snow thicker and bigger
Added rope to ladders
Added design to half-steps
Reworked desert shrub
Smoothened sand
Made big changes to jukeboxes and note blocks
Recolored the brick a bit to make it more than one color of brick
Darkened and softened dirt, so it looks more, eh, dirty
Changed how the sun looks (Gave it sunspots! *WARNING* Do not look directly at sun to verify this.)
Added glow to furnace when it's lit
Added sprinkles to inside of cake
Made redstone ore more powdery
Made coal ore more chunky
Made bed a darker, richer red
Added drawers to sides of bed
Added ends to wood planks
Made monster spawner metal colored instead of blue
Everything made out of wood looks like wood. (Wooden doors, trapdoors, and chests.)
Changed how book looks, both as item and on enchantment table, and changed written book GUI to match.
I might come back later and add more detailed descriptions of the changes, but for now I just wanna get it out there. You can give your opinions on the changes, but really I just wanna make this available in case anyone happens to like it. Have fun!
ALSO: If you want anything specific changed, and I find it reasonable, I'll do it for you! Examples: Changing glowstone, since a lot of people hate it, although I don't. Changing bed color. Changing doors to different wood type. Et cetera. I'll add all the suggestions and requests in as alternatives!
I have since updated the texture pack for the most recent snapshot, and changed the below download link, adding in new blocks and mobs. I've updated the new wood blocks and added in the separations on planks, as well as made jungle planks more knotty, I textured the quill and book, as well as written book, to match my book style, I removed the title visible on the book from the normal book (so that it's added on when you write in the book), recolored the pages of the book to match the GUI, recolored the back of the gui and added in leather ends to match the style of my books, recolored maps to match the gui, retextured the strange emerald ore to match existing ores (the default one is completely whack), and added in any new gui's, items, and blocks that I didn't care to retexture, such as the ender chest.

Hello? Eat my tarts? In this cosmic dance of bursting decadence, withheld permissions twist all our arms collectively. But if sweetness can win- and it can- then I'll still be here tomorrow to high five you yesterday my friend. Peace.
I like it. Yeah, sure there`s a ton of texture packs that are like this one but I think its nice. Going to download.
Yeah I know, sorry about that. I've been using this for months, and just thought maybe some other people that like the default like me but aren't good at texturing might want it.
Meh, I dun like it for one reason and one reason only
It's unoriginal.
It's not meant to be original, it's just supposed to tweak the default a bit. Sorry to disappoint. I don't expect most people to take it as a full-on texture pack.
Thank you! The original sand is WAY too grainy. <-
Also, as I said in the OP:
If you have any personal requests or suggestions, I am willing to make a custom texture/texture pack just for you!
Do you absolutely hate the glowstone? Do you think mushrooms should be bigger? Do you hate the color red, and want to make beds purple? Tell me how you'd like it and I'll make it to the best of my ability, and leave a download for you!

I have since updated the texture pack, and changed the below download link, adding in new blocks and mobs. So far the only new blocks that have been edited are the different kinds of wood, which I added lines to for the planks to not be endless, and to match the existing wood, and jungle tree saplings, which I textured to look like the yellow pods visible in the leaves. I plan to change the lamp in the future, but I'll do that later. Enjoy!

Hate to double post, but just wanted people to know:
I have once again updated the texture pack for the most recent snapshot, and changed the above download link, adding in new blocks. I've updated the new wood blocks and added in the separations on planks, as well as made jungle planks more knotty, I textured the quill and book, as well as written book, to match my book style, I removed the title visible on the book from the normal book (so that it's added on when you write in the book), recolored the pages of the book to match the GUI, recolored the back of the gui and added in leather ends to match the style of my books, recolored maps to match the gui, retextured the strange emerald ore to match existing ores (the default one is completely whack), and added in any new gui's, items, and blocks that I didn't care to retexture, such as the ender chest.

The saplings are the only good thing about this pack. The rest just barely edited default.
That's the idea. Not to say it isn't a valid reason to dislike my pack, just letting you know that that was my intention.
I actually have tried, twice, to make my own textures from scratch, but both times about a third of the way through I realized it looked like a crappier version of the default. I simply like the default style as it is. However, who knows, maybe one day I'll be hit by inspiration and make a completely different styled texture pack.
Thanks for your input!

Soloman's Touchups
All the default textures are property of Mojang, and I do not take credit for them.
It's unoriginal.
I think the sand is especially clever.
Yeah I know, sorry about that. I've been using this for months, and just thought maybe some other people that like the default like me but aren't good at texturing might want it.
Thank you. (And you sure have a lot of posts for someone that usually doesn't post...)

Need textures for your mod? Inquire within, just read the rules.
That's the idea. Not to say it isn't a valid reason to dislike my pack, just letting you know that that was my intention.
