So, i am looking for a good texture pack but i dont know what to look for because i see 32x and 16x and 64x. What do those mean? And how do i know what i have?

They're the amount of pixels in width/height. Bigger looks better but will cause lower performance.

Ok, well i have a 16x Texture Pack at the moment, and it doesnt lag a thing. Should i just test each pixel amount until i find one i'm comfortable with?

the numbers just say the amount of pixels used in each side of the blocks and stuff. Think of it like a 16 pixel x 16 pixel square. the higher the numbers are, the more detail there may be in the textures. however, this may also cause lag, and you may need to "Patch" your minecraft for using certain detailed texture packs

and 32x and up you need the pacher

32x and 16x are how high definition a texture pack is. If you were to look at a 16x texture pack, you can see that is uses less pixels than others, such as 128x. If you are looking for a certain texture pack with 16x or 32x, then you can find some on the forums or Planet Minecraft.
For me, the best texturepack is Dokucraft, which is 32x.

16x shouldn't lag as it's the default resolution for texture packs (the original minecraft is that resolution textures).

x16,x32,x64,x128,x256,x512. The amount of pixels in each block; the resolution.

x512 is cool :tongue.gif:

I'm familiar with DokuCraft. I think i may look at that and see how a 32x works for me, because i have a 16x at the moment.

You should patch minecraft if you use a texture pack, no matter what resolution it is.

Many packs have features such as random mobs, custom colours and custom animations all of which require MCPatcher to work :smile.gif:.

I have Optifine, dont worry.

Press f3 in minecraft. To see how much lag you get. It should be at the top. Even though a 128x texture pack looks nice because of the nice amount of pixels, you computer might not be able to handle it.
