Description I have already made this topic before, but it misteriously dissapeared. So here it is again
As you could probably tell from the title, this is a very simple texture pack. Everything from bricks to items.
This pack, however, is still in version alpha. Here's a list of things that are still a work in progress: - Water - Lava - Clouds - Texture Pack Picture - Panoramas - Ender Dragon Mob - Splashes - Paintings Please list any complaints, bugs or requests that you have.
Important Information This texture pack is 16x16 and is not HD, so it doesn't require MCPatcher. This texture pack is still in alpha version, so don't be surprised about bugs and screw ups. This texture pack is compatible with Minecraft version 1.2.
Changelog Alpha_1 >> Alpha_1.1 - Better watermellons. - Weeds, ferns and lilipads have been recolored to stand out against grass. - Stone weapons/tools have been recolored to stand out against the background of the inventory. - Simpler brick smashig effect. - Better cactuses. - New unknown texture pack picture.

Required Files This texture pack has no required files.
When it comes to making panoramas, I'm not the best.
It would be great if someone who has made texture packs before could download this one and take some screenshots for the panoramas. YOU WILL BE GIVEN CREDIT!
There are a million simple texture packs like this one.
Why don't you go patranize all of them.
We do our best, but there are only so many ways to flame something without the admins getting mad, and we don't want to say the same thing over and over.

The official Bluebird continuation is underway! Please come and help keep the pack alive!

Really, how hard is it to snap a few pictures of the various blocks? Thats just lazy.

Cast aside your festive doylaks: dragon stuff is about to happen.
Multiplayer is lonely once you understand how it actually works.
Really, don't stick with this. Make something original.
I'll just eventually finish it and ignore all posts after witch.

For all of you who think that this is bad... how about you say why.
For all of you who keep saying that there's a million others of this... how about you go tell all of them that instead of just me.
Now, I just want to know, why do you guys keep saying bad things about my pack when it's not getting you anywhere in life?
There's no point. If you don't like the pack, just don't download it!

Its bad because it is unorigional. There are literally hundreds of these types of packs and we see at least 5 a day. They take no skill to make at all.

That's not calling it bad, that's just saying that it's unoriginal and that it takes little skill to make.

Both of which mean the pack is bad.
Simple packs like this are a good way of getting familiar with how texture packs work, but should not be uploaded to the forums. We get these daily, and nobody wants them because they tend not to look good.
But the amount of organization and detail in the OP is nice, and I'm sure if you made a more original texture pack that would help it to look very professional.

Let's put it this way.
When you make a texture pack for Minecraft, it needs to appeal to people in some way for them to like it. It can be original, aesthetically pleasing, fit a niche audience, require patience and thought, provide a service or feature not in the game already, or any number of other things. The idea is that a texture pack must be admirable in some way for people to enjoy it in some way, whether they use it or not.
When you post a texture pack that has literally one or two colors per pack, with no shading, no added depth, nothing resembling detail so people can't tell what the texture even is, no style, and no overlying theme beyond the lack of all these qualities, and when you know that there are multiple of these exact same texture packs posted on a daily basis, it gives nobody any reason to admire or use the texture pack, much less applaud it.
This is the problem with simple packs. People thinks simplicity is all about a lack of detail, but it's not. People think they can color fill the boxes on the terrain.png file, add some pixelated lines here and there and it's completely fine. They think maybe someone will find some use out of a pack that took them a combined 24 hours to make. They might even feel like they are providing a service to people, or that what they have made is original enough to justify posting, or that it doesn't need to be original for people to like it.
The answer to all those things, is no. There are good simple textures that are made by people who know the standards of the forum and follow it. They think about color co-ordination, depth, shading, detail, and doing it with as little as possible. Bad simple texture packs are lazy, poorly designed, poorly colored, poorly shaded, poorly arranged, bland, uninspired, unoriginal, unstylized, unlikable and not worth the time to make, post, or download. I do not say this out of contempt or anger, this is really the truth.
And here's the final nail in the coffin. Art is subjective, and I fully know that. However, even if a texture pack is good, it absolutely MUST be original. Everyone likes the Mona Lisa. What if every artist and their grandmother repainted the mona lisa over and over again for a year with only extremely tiny differences between one Mona Lisa and the next. Oh, they might all look nice, and it might mean we have a lot of good artists out there, but for them to submit it to a museum and say "this is my art, please put it in your gallery" is ubsurd.
Now, take that analogy, and replace the Mona Lisa with a very bad videogame, like, say, E.T. for the Atari 2600 (or Superman 64 if you're too young to know what an Atari is). Say you recoded those games, hosted it, and posted a link to it on a videogame forum, saying "this is my video game, I hope you like it." How fast will it get old, to see that exact same terrible thing posted several times a day by different authors, with very little difference between them?
If you're going to be unoriginal, be unoriginal and good, so people can at least see some merit in it. As it stands, the texture pack is unoriginal and bad, no matter how you look at it. So many other simple texture packs have effort put in them to make them work. Why should anyone choose yours over theirs?
And I mentioned Failcraft, because it is a simple texture pack that was made to be bad. And guess what, it's also unoriginal, but at least it has an original concept and provides the service of making other texture packs look better. If you like bad simple packs, go support that one. At least it has a cause to exist.
That's what's wrong with simple texture packs, and that's what's wrong with this texture pack. I feel I should re-iterate that I am not mad, and I don't think you should take any of these posts personally. I'm only explaining why people hate simple packs so much. I hope you take this into account if and when you make another texture pack.
