Introduction:
This is my first and only texture pack. This initial release is the product of many slow months of learning to create textures for this game and also expanding on my limited art skills. Every texture has been hand painted in Photoshop, and animations were made using a combination of GIMP plugins and Photoshop. I feel that I finally have enough to make this release, but I do still have quite a ways to go for this to really be a fully complete texture pack. I will try to keep my updates and to-do list as accurate as possible for anyone who actually finds my pack interesting enough to follow.

However, I warn that my updates will be few and far between since I do work full time and tend to have a very busy schedule. I will at the very least make sure that my pack is always compatible with the most recent Minecraft releases by inserting default textures where needed if I don't have the time to create my own new textures quickly enough.

Yes, I know the name is cliche and that <name>craft is overdone, but I like it. =)

Also, it's worth noting that I have no plans to include any mod support or backwards compatibility at this time.


Currently In-Progress:
This is what I'm working on finishing right now:
- items.png: everything except armor icons
- Brewing stands
- The End portal blocks

To-Do List:
These are sorted in the order that I would like to get them done. I may or may not stick to this order.
- Customize icons.png
- Customize particles.png
- Enchanting Book
- Armor
- Boats
- Mine carts
- GUI
- Paintings
- Animals and Monsters
- Tweaking, fixing, updating, forever.

You can help:
Right now, I'm low on screenshots. If anyone finds that they enjoy my textures and want to help out, you can provide me with some good quality screenshots and I'll pick ones I like and post them here with your name.

If you want to help me advertise, here's a banner you can put in your signature! (Thanks for the idea, Greenbean9396)


And of course, if you really like my work, you can donate. =)


Allowed Uses:
Since my pack is very new and largely incomplete, I would prefer to keep distribution under my own control for now. I ask that you not include my textures in any other texture pack distribution without my permission. You are, of course, free to download my textures for your own personal use in whatever capacity you please, as long as it does not involve re-uploading to the internet.

Good job, 4.5/5. I would use it if I did not have Misa's 64x64.

Hey, I have a question. How do you display your pictures like that?

I just set them up like that manually in Photoshop to make one big .PNG

Thanks, guys. That's very encouraging. =)

No Problem! But you could really use a banner. I need an updated one too unfortunately.

Oh, yeah. I guess that's what I forgot about. I'll be sure to put one of those together soon. Thanks!

Updated my original post to include a banner. =)

This deserves attention. BUMP

Aw, thanks!

Maybe it'll get more attention when I actually get more done with it. I'm working on the items.png so hopefully I'll probably update when I at least have a hand full icons on that file done.

Updated to add compatibility with the new MC dev snapshot and also added biome gradients for swamp biomes so that they are no longer purple.
