Although the pack looks nice in general, some textures don't seem very well thought out.
You don't have to read this, so it's spoiler'd just in case
The ores, Soul Sand, leaves, bookshelves, cobblestone, End Stone, glowstone, glass, and sandstone bother me.
Ores: I guess you're going to address these.
Soul Sand: It doesn't look like it tiles very well, and seems like it would be out of place in the nether.
Leaves: they seem too solid, I don't really know how else to describe them :/
Bookshelves: the "book lover" seems totally random and out of place.
cobblestone: It's too white and doesn't blend very well with your smooth stone. That part might just be me, but I like it to blend in decently.
End Stone: I don't know if this is true or not, but it seems like it would look really weird when you're actually in the end. I could be wrong though.
Glowstone: Glowstone seems like it should be irregular, at least going off of vanilla. Redstone Lamps should be regular though, because they're made rather than naturally formed.
Glass: I like the look of glass without lines in it. If you don't feel like making an alternate for this, that's fine.
Sandstone: As a general rule, Sandstone should be about the same color as your sand, it looks really weird otherwise, or at least IMO.
Please note that this is all just my opinion, and I'm trying to be constructive, if it doesn't come out that way I apologize.
Hey man, Thanks for the feedback, I know I cant please everyone, but I do the best I can
The Ores: I know they are weird, but I also think they are different, I find a lot of ores that look like some one was playing a scratch lotto ticket and it bothers me, I like a big bright Ore in my face! lol. Ive gotten a lot of positive feedback on the ores in the past, so I guess its just to each his own.
Soul sand: Just a cool texture I drew up and is mostly in there to look cool, and its also animated, and will only be in the animated version, there is a different texture in the non animated 2.0 version. It definitely looks weird in the nether.
Leaves: I find leaves horrible annoying to texture, Maybe one day ill redo them, but until then I'm keeping with the ones I got
Bookshelves: The "book Lover" Isn't totally random, but out of place... possibly My girlfriend has the exact same book ends so I threw those in there to make her smile
Cobblestone: Yes I have already darkened up the cobblestone, Haven't posted any pictures of it tho , I know it doesn't blend with the sandstone texture very well at all but I'm in love with it, So I refuse to change it! lol.
End stone: Looks fine to me in the end, and gives it a cool magical feel to the end Terrain.
Glow stone: There's a bunch of alternates (more "irregular") in the pack if you wanna switch it out, I made a thread about the light stone and that's the one the people liked the most so I used it as the default.
Glass: There's a few alternates with less lines, Again, To Each His Own.
Sand stone: The default one I have in the pack is more like what your looking for, The one in the pictures are just another texture I fell in love with and wish I could make it work better, but I can only do so much.
Anyways, Thank you for your feedback, I really do appreciate it. It helps me understand what people want better
Hope you download and enjoy the pack.
Have a good day,

Everything looks lovely ^.^ I'm so happy this is finally out.
The only thing i dont like is the new stone. I loved the stone from 1.0.. The new stone doesn't look as nice.. It looks like cobblestone to me.
Stone:I absolutely love it. Don't know about anyone else, but... Ores: Unique styles deliver mixed reactions. Not bad but would prefer "scattered-pieces-of-ore" looking alt. Cobble/Moss:Moss should be layered on top of the cobble you decide. It's unordinary how light the moss compared to the reglar cobblestone. Furnace: I simply don't like the look. Doesn't blend with the cobble too well. Nor the unique stone texture you have. Foliage:All together it's really nice looking. The colors are really pretty. The grass texture is not distracting to look at or overly-pixelated and each of your leave textures is surprisingly equal in their awesomeness! Bed: The way you have it textured almost "gradient-ly" is really unappealing, especially when 2 beds are placed next to each other. Bookshelves: Get rid of the "Book Lover". Just no. Planks:I don't exactly know what to say about them. They're relatively plain and I think you can drastically improve them. I think the depth might be the problem. While generally the pack is flat looking, which is definitely a unique, but positive characteristic (in my opinion) the way the planks are shaded just makes them look overly-painted. Your log textures don't seem this way and I think the lack of depth is shown through this paint-looking style.
All in all I really enjoy the looks of this. Your mob textures are extremely unique and are really beautifully done and GUI textures are really nice as well. Not to mention the animated textures and alternates that you've provided which really shows your dedication.
Another suggestion: Connected Textures: Its such a great addition to MCPatcher and Optifine. You should check out it's functions if you don't know what it is.
EDIT: Forgot to mention my biggest problem with the pack, don't assume that this is many by the way, it's really not, your water texture. The color is glorious, but the flowing animation of kind of just the same pixels gravitating around in a one by one square just looks obnoxious. I really don't know how to put it. Make new bubbles come up for your animation or something like that. It just tiles and looks funky.
finally I was able to install the pack And everything looks amassing, aside from the book lover, prettymutch anything that i dont love has an alt that i think is awesome.
Just as a side not thou, is there an easier way for me to put the alts in? other then me loading up Photoshop and messing around for a good half hour?
Also as a suggestion for the book lover cunundrem, do you know how to make the random textures for any block work? because if you can make several book textures and have it so there's a 1 in every 50 chance of the bookcase having book lover on it i think that would look relay nice. The texture looks cool on its own, its just that when there's tones of books stacked next to each other it starts to look a bit rediculus.
just a suggestion, i like the look of that emerald block by the way.
btw are we going to see wooden testificets any-time soon? the men with big heads looks a bit odd to me.

This texture pack is Amazing expecially the 2.0 ideas! although the grass and stone/cobblestone are a little too dark for my liking but the rest is perfect! keep up the good work!
Okay, I have a problem with the animations: they don't start working until I'm really close (like the "tiny" distance). It really spoils the effect. Is there a way to change it?
This is my favorite texture pack by far. But I don't know how I'm going to like the wooden friendly mobs. Creepers look amazing! As do the zombies. Can't wait for it!
