Taler's Transparent Texture Pack for 1.7 Snapshots and 1.6
Hello all,
Yesterday I was playing around on my 1.6 Snapshot server and I lost the location of a Mineshaft I was exploring and came to the forums to search for a quick, easy to use transparent texture pack that was compatible and did not find one. So here is my quick rendition of a transparent texture pack for you to use, just very basic, nothing extraordinary.
Standard Features: Still shows outlines of the terrain, no fire on player's HUD when in lava, compass sun, no weather. Good for use in survival.
LITE features: All terrain is invisible, ores are all bright, single colors. Except coal. No-one likes coal. Good for finding resources and strongholds.
Minecraft 1.7 & 1.6 Download Standard:http://www.box.com/...0fze0hsdgpjit Complete support for 1.7 coming very soon. Will still work with most terrain.
Thank you watertipper, your input is very much appreciated and considered. /sarcasm Hakkezz, why not? I have seen topics like this before and I dont see what is wrong with posting a beneficial tool here for others to use. Kodehawa, I'm sure your response is wonderful to anyone who understands it.
To all of those people who dislike the idea of a transparent texture pack, I do not condone hacking or cheating, especially on others servers. But as far as singleplayer and your own servers are concerned, this can be a real help to quickly find lost places of interest etc. If I didn't upload this, someone else probably would. Ever since when I started playing minecraft in its alpha stages I have known of existing TS texturepacks. And as far as I can tell, it hasn't brought the game to it's knees. Or even come close.

Why thank you, I'm looking forward to this texture pack progress. /sarcasm Hakkezz, why not? I have seen topics like this before and I dont see what is wrong with posting a beneficial tool here for others to use.
How is it in any way "a beneficial tool"? Kodehawa, I'm sure your response is wonderful to anyone who understands it.
I understood it just fine - why couldn't you?

*facepalm*
Didn't you just say that you used this texture pack in a server to find a mineshaft? But as far as singleplayer and your own servers are concerned, this can be a real help to quickly find lost places of interest etc.
Why on earth would anyone cheat on singleplayer? Just get TMI for God's sake. If I didn't upload this, someone else probably would.
Yes, and there are already dozens of these cheaty texture packs on the forums.
Yours is no different. Ever since when I started playing minecraft in its alpha stages I have known of existing TS texturepacks.
What's a TS texture pack? And as far as I can tell, it hasn't brought the game to it's knees. Or even come close.
However, it has brought plenty of SMP players to knees.
Why? Because of people like you that use X-ray.
why not? I have seen topics like this before and I dont see what is wrong with posting a beneficial tool here for others to use.
Because all you did was delete the center pixels from the default textures, which has been done to death a million times over. You have done nothing origional, nor anything anyone with a few brain cells couldn't don on their own.
You are re-inventing the ty wheel rather then making a new and improved wheel. If it were possible to devolve over night, you are contributing to it.

That may be true, but that doesn't mean that it isn't beneficial, as you are suggesting. This just saves that some one "with a few brain cells" the effort of extracting and opening around 30 or so textures in gimp. Sounds simple but it takes effort. I would much rather just press a download button. This serves exactly that purpose.
You are re-inventing the ty wheel rather then making a new and improved wheel.
At the time of upload there were no... wheels, metaphorically speaking... available for Minecraft 1.5
Therefore I consider this not a new wheel, but most definitely and improved one.

I am unsure of what TMI is, but I do know that alternatives and other ways of finding things in Minecraft are always useful. Just because it is your preference doesn’t mean that it should be everyone else’s too. I like iPhones. I don’t tell everyone that they can’t have an android though.
Yes, and there are already dozens of these cheaty texture packs on the forums.
Yours is no different.
I really think you should take some time to read my original post before complaining, like I said, at the time of upload I could not find a TS texture pack that was compatible with 1.5.
However, it has brought plenty of SMP players to knees.
Why? Because of people like you that use X-ray.
Not really. SMP servers are one of the major bases of Minecraft. They’re still going.
I don’t want to ring the hypocrite bell, but I believe there is a video on your YouTube channel demonstrating how to make an X-ray machine in Minecraft. So… I’m not sure about you but to me that renders most of your “arguments” invalid.
Thank-you so much for posting. It’s nice when people who use this give responses, I appreciate it.
Due to their continued involvement and dedication to finding problems with my texturepack, I have added echonite, Hakkezz and WaterTipper to my official complaint-recipients section. Thank-you guys for helping me out and dealing with the issues some users may face with having this transparent pack on the forums. If anyone has any other problems with this please contact them through the methods provided above.

Opening, selecting an area, and pressing delete. Yes, takes so much effort.
At the time of upload there were no... wheels, metaphorically speaking... available for Minecraft 1.5
Therefore I consider this not a new wheel, but most definitely and improved one.
1.5 has the unstitching program integrated in it, so it can automatically convert any existing x-ray packs. You adding one more to the mix serves no purpose.
Point is invalid.
Above I have bolded all spelling and grammatical errors you have made in your insightful post. Thank-you for your time.
And here you have just shown how much of a child you are by pointing out typos as a point of argument. The typos I made are common mistakes and easily missed by anyone.
I am actually dyslexic, so a few typos is actually an accomplishment.
So again, my statement stands. You have poorly reinvented the wheel, and contributed nothing to the community at large.

Those of you whining about this sound like children. What are you even trying to prove? Sure, this pack doesn't provide anything new in the way of graphics, but they do tend to be useful if you're in single player and want to find a dungeon, or perhaps just feel like finding all of the diamonds.
It's an x-ray pack. It isn't particularly new or anything, but who cares? The thread is likely to die quite quickly anyways.
Thank-you for the encouragement, I will make sure to PM you when I release my latest version I have planned.
Why, aren't you such a good boy!
I will be looking forward wholeheartedly to more textures with their center erased. Please read the original post, it is explained there.
I'd rather not; I see nothing different than what I saw before. Good for you. I have a medal here if you want it.
Flame baiting? How original! I think the words “my snapshot server” comply with what I stated above. For personal use on your own private server/world it is no one else’s problem.
The word "comply" doesn't mean whatever you think it does, kid.
And yes, it IS other people's problem as well - if even the admin uses X-ray for his own personal gain, the it would serve as a horrible example for the server's players. I am unsure of what TMI is, but I do know that alternatives and other ways of finding things in Minecraft are always useful. Just because it is your preference doesn’t mean that it should be everyone else’s too. I like iPhones. I don’t tell everyone that they can’t have an android though.
TMI is TooManyItems, a mod that lets you spawn items as much as you want.
It is used mainly by mapmakers. I really think you should take some time to read my original post before complaining, like I said, at the time of upload I could not find a TS texture pack that was compatible with 1.5.
If then, delete all the centers of blocks you want, but keep it to yourself instead of posting it on the internet, creating an adfly link for it, then being so stupidly self-important and obnoxious for no reason. As you could probably infer from the title, TS stands for Transparent.
I don't know about you, but I pronounce the word transparent as "trans-parent", not "tran-sparent".
You can't just randomly make up a silly acronym and expect people to understand it. Not really. SMP servers are one of the major bases of Minecraft. They’re still going.
Ad X-Rayers like you are still a major problem in practically all servers. I don’t want to ring the hypocrite bell, but I believe there is a video on your YouTube channel demonstrating how to make an X-ray machine in Minecraft. So… I’m not sure about you but to me that renders most of your “arguments” invalid.
Ah, good for you! Props for being a stalker.
And double thanks for plugging my channel as well - I needed some subscribers.
Also, you might be interested to know that X-Ray machines are used widely, even by popular YouTubers such as Docm77 and Ethoslab.
They're used for locating unlit caves for limiting natural spawning space; not to walk over, dig straight down, and mine all the gold and diamonds you want without encountering lava or monsters.
Thank-you so much for posting. It’s nice when people who use this give responses, I appreciate it.
Due to their continued involvement and dedication to finding problems with my texturepack, I have added [REDACTED] to my official complaint-recipients section. Thank-you guys for helping me out and dealing with the issues some users may face with having this transparent pack on the forums.

Why, thank you so much for posting all those channels!
I'm sure they could use more subscribers, and you've done the work for them. How nice!
Also, isn't it bannable to post private information of other people without their consent?
Mikko_blu Didn't like this post the first time I posted it and he deleted it. Here is a modified version of what I replied earlier that should not offend him.
May aswell dig this back up.
For echonite:
Opening, selecting an area, and pressing delete. Yes, takes so much effort.
Times that by however many blocks you want to make transparent, Opening and closing things and doing it all over again is simple, yes, but becomes boring after some time. So once again, I can see people appreciating that its been done already.
1.5 has the unstitching program integrated in it, so it can automatically convert any existing x-ray packs.
I can't find it at a quick glance but if it does exist then I am glad mojang integrated a lovely simple tool like that into minecraft. It is not included in minecraft.
And here you have just shown how much of a child you are by pointing out typos as a point of argument.
I don't think someone who made the insult that I was "De-evolving humanity" should be throwing around sentences like that. Personally it sounded childish (and mispelt) to me.
I am actually dyslexic, so a few typos is actually an accomplishment.
Oh you'll love this website then <Link removed due to mod>
Refresh the page a few times for more.
So again, my statement stands. You have poorly reinvented the wheel, and contributed nothing to the community at large.
When people click the Adfly link it makes me feel good
The other one:
The word "comply" doesn't mean whatever you think it does, kid.
The use of that word in that sentence may be a little awkward, but it does actually make sense.
And yes, it IS other people's problem as well - if even the admin uses X-ray for his own personal gain, the it would serve as a horrible example for the server's players.
Haha, come on look at what your going on about -.- its completely legitimate to use on your own servers, whether your playing by yourself or with others, in adventure or creative mode. In fact its even more helpful in creative. Would you like to see the /give command removed to? That seems to be along the lines of what you were saying.
TMI is TooManyItems, a mod that lets you spawn items as much as you want.
Seeing as you didn't disagree with what I said, I'll assume we agree on that point. Spawning items into your game is totally different to using a TS pack to find geographical features.
If then, delete all the centers of blocks you want, but keep it to yourself instead of posting it on the internet, creating an adfly link for it, then being so stupidly self-important and obnoxious for no reason.
Why, are you trying to sensor me? Who says you should decide what goes on the internet? I don't think you can get any more "stupidly self-important". I'd also like you to explain how I am either "obnoxious", "self-important" or "stupid". I did not start being offensive to you, so I'd appreciate if you did me the same favor.
Ad X-Rayers like you are still a major problem in practically all servers.
Ok.
Ah, good for you! Props for being a stalker.
I'm unsure of how clicking on your minecraft forum profile is classified as "stalking".
And double thanks for plugging my channel as well - I needed some subscribers.
That's ok, this isn't really about gain for me as I see it is for you, I was just making sure the complaints go to someone who gives a damn. I am not motivated by how many "subscribers" I have, as it seems you are, all I care about is proving to people like you that its nor your job or concern to interfere with how others play the game.
Also, you might be interested to know that X-Ray machines are used widely, even by popular YouTubers such as Docm77 and Ethoslab.
Great, TS texture packs are widely used too, highfive!
They're used for locating unlit caves
Hey cool that sounds like what a TS pack does.
not to walk over, dig straight down, and mine all the gold and diamonds you want without encountering lava or monsters.
We didn't take it down to specifics, there are many different uses for a TS texture pack. If someone wants to do that though its definitely not your business.
Why, thank you so much for posting all those channels!
I'm sure they could use more subscribers, and you've done the work for them. How nice!
Also, isn't it bannable to post private information of other people without their consent?
Once again I am not motivated by profit/number of subscribers nor am I trying to compete with anyone.
If the definition is "private" then yes probably. Seeing as I only posted information I was able to find openly online I don't think I'm going to see a ban anytime soon. (Edit from after the original post was removed: Except for "flaming", I may get the kick for that)
And to evercharmer, the only one that seems to have a brain here, I agree with everything you said. If this dies and someone types into google "1.5 transparent pack" it'll be there for them to quickly use and never look at again. If you don't like this just move on. Plenty of other threads around here to read.
Small update:
- No fire on player's HUD when in lava
- Still lava and water now transparent
- Removed Vignette
- Compass Sun
- No rain or snow
- Removed tall grass and vines

Woah woah!
It is so you can see through walls to find ores/caves/dungeons etc etc, quite useful
@Wolf1375 Thankyou
Using X-ray, CP2 (Obiusly in the release) or Zombe. The same results.
Woah woah!
