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.
I have been playing the Attack of the B-Team mod pack lately and have gotten into Tinker's Construct. The technician's pack has some of the textures, but is missing a few of the newer ones. I've started creating these as I go along, but there are so many parts for each tool, it takes quite a while. But I've finished the excavator parts, mostly just took the existing graphics used in the icons and created new pieces from that, recoloring based on the other tools already completed. For the upgrades, I just up-rezzed the original textures.
Wow, you have gone far and beyond with them, I was just expecting small differences and mirroring but you went a step further. Those textures will really make the world come to life. Fantastic work!

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.

To tell them how to live is to prevent them living.
It's something with the text.
here's the problem:
and this-
What exactly is wrong, and how can I fix it?
BTW, I love the textures!
Look in the texture pack zip for the two files listed below and replace with the ones in the helper_files directory.
Find these two files:-
assets/minecraft/textures/font/ascii.png
assets/minecraft/textures/font/unicode_page_00.png
And replace with the two 128px versions (you will have to rename them to the same names as the files you are replacing).
