properly the fee's weren't paid. and websites go down when not paid =)
Glowstrontium did say in the JS forum (before it went down) that the site hosting was up for renewal in March but host pulled the site early due to over excessive bandwidth usage and the said the site was used for file sharing.
I did offer to host the site but Glow never got back to me, rather than let this wonderful thing die I decided to host the pack myself.
I'm the main person looking after the vanilla John Smith Legacy Resource Pack and I'm hosting the files (including my own edition of the pack).
My plan is as long as Mojang keep bringing out updates to Minecraft then I will keep the vanilla pack up to date.

Heya, I'm just here for some help. The pack doesn't work for me at all. I download it, put it in the right folder, but never pops up in the Resource Pack list. I exited out of Minecraft and logged back on to see if it was there, but no. It's there in the folder, but not on the list in-game. I have been a loyal fan of John Smith's and the Legacy's version. But, after moving to a whole other state and with a whole new computer...I can't get my favorite Resource Pack. I would thank anyone for the rest of their lives if they can help me. Please O_Oo
Make sure the pack is in the correct directory, if the zip file is corrupt it will also not show up, so try downloading it again and follow the instructions below on where to put it.
Where to put the Resource Pack:
Run the Minecraft Launcher, log in and press the Play button.
On the Minecraft title screen select "Options".
Select "Resource Packs" (bottom left).
Then select "Open Resource Pack folder" (also on the bottom left).
Or alternately you can:
Click on "Windows Start" > Run (or search) and copy/paste the following then press Enter.

One of the best texture packs out there and certainly the best medieval/rustic/RPG themed pack I've ever used. I have been using this pack since I first started playing Minecraft and I still use it! Keep up the amazing work!!!

I have been playing Minecraft since September 2012. It's my favorite game of all time.

Sorryto hear that and the hosts are... derps when it is obvivious that the site is a host for a ressource pack of some sort. Hell, they even advert "unlimited" traffic and... there is no unlimited traffic. That kinda makes me angry. and self hosting at your home or behind your own router is sometimes difficult.
Very nice, it looks better than my version but I think it looks even nicer with a 5% transparency, this makes it a little see through but not too much.
I also wanted to know if anyone had any alternative textures for stones? (andesite, etc...)
Because I think they do not join with the current stone :s
The new stones I made for the smooth versions of cobble so yes they do look a little off with the rough versions but either way the smooth version are the only versions I have.

Like I just said up above (sorry for double post) It's in the incorrect format. O_o I'd love to help you but I can't, sorry.
Thinking about this more I think the problem you are having is from the version you download in the opening post of this thread (on Google Drive), as I cannot edit the opening post of this thread the links are now no longer current, download the pack from the new location on my site.
I would like to apologise to everyone here for not keeping the community informed as the current state of the texture pack.
The website was taken down because the host's definition of "unlimited bandwidth" was capped at 2tb, and then nothing, as the site was taken down even though I removed ALL of the downloadable files (which left only the forums up for one day).
I cannot gain access to recover the forum database, and considering that at the time of the site going offline, there was only around a month left on the account anyway and I couldn't be bothered to start a dispute over it.
On the actual texturing side of things, nobody is really working on the JSTR mod support at the moment, and as Jim has kindly hosted the vanilla pack on his site (and he also keeps up to date), there is not really any point of reopening a site completely dedicated to a stagnated project, which is what has happened with JSTR lately.
I haven't played Minecraft since the end of last year, and the only motivation to continue making mod support textures was from playing the game and finding mods that I used that were unsupported. Considering my laptop runs a single-player 1.6 modded world at about between 10-0 fps, is a situation that isn't likely to change unless I have a nice server to play on, and even then I just don't know if I have the motivation to make textures for so many mods.
With that being said, I'm not sure where the future of this will go - whatever happens, vanilla players should remain unaffected by my decisions as Jimstonecraft is maintaining (and has for a long time) the JS Legacy pack for the foreseeable future.
What's the difference between John Smith Legacy and John Smith Legacy JSC?
As quoted from the text above the downloads on the site.
Here you will find the John Smith Legacy Resource pack and you will also find my own modified version called "JimStoneCraft Edition" which is a branch of the standard John Smith Legacy Resource Pack.
The JSC or JimStoneCraft Edition uses some of the more advanced mcpatcher features and is not compatible with Optifine.
It also uses smooth cobble and lots of other personal tweaks to virtually all the textures, it's the pack I personally use and some people ask if I would post it so I did.
I also use it to try out some new techniques like the Grid format for custom colours.
Hey everyone.
I felt the urge to draw my own replacements for the flowers.
I want to point out that the current flowers are really nice, and there's nothing wrong with them... except I feel they don't really match the John Smith style. That is highly debatable, of course.
Hope you'll like them. Feel free to use them. Comments are welcome.
No debate needed, they look much more detailed compared to my versions, mine are more towards the vanilla flowers than the JS style.
I'll add yours to the pack later in the week.
Could you make some more versions of each for the random mcpatcher CTM, maybe four in total for each flower (including the ones you made already).
I do like random flowers as they look less regimented when lots are in a field.
I'm not using mcpatcher, so I didn't think of making variants. But I'll gladly do that. At least for the small ones. The double size ones tend to be such a pain to draw. Anyway, I'll do my best.
No problem, you have real talent.
When I made my double height textures I just make a 32x64px image, draw the texture and then cut it into two, this makes the join perfect and it's easier to draw when it's one image.
The smaller flower are more important for the variants, a good technique is to just vary the heights and mirror image some of the flower heads, maybe even vary the colours up to ten percent either side of the current flower head colour.
This really does add to the game and make it come alive.
Don't worry about the .properties files for mcpatcher, I'll sort those out.
Snapshot time, only one new texture and it goes nice on toast, Endermite
Note:- This is a Snapshot Resource Pack only and contains only the blocks that have been added or changed, a complete pack will be released when the next full release of Minecraft has been made.
Is there a customizer for this texture pack like the old John smith?I miss the other kind of smooth stone not this cobbled smooth stone look.
I don't think the customizer is coming back anytime soon but I can help as I've added the smooth stone alternatives for all the ores and stone (including the random CTM for mcpatcher) to the pack, you will have to move the files manually though.

Nice Iron Block and trapdoor, this may come in handy for the Technicians Remix pack

The best way to think of it is it's my interpretation of the John Smith pack.

They files are in the directory listed below:-

Minecraft version (Snapshot or not) and screen shots would help.
