Are all these textures made by your self, some of the items look very familiar and without being rude texture quality doesn't seem run through the pack, parts like items look really well drawn but then some block look bucket filled. For example the hammer looks great yet the frying pan less so, seems odd to have such varying skill between items and shading
Some of the textures in this pack are definitely stolen from other sources. The carrots are the first texture Mojang had for carrots before they replaced it with the single-carrot texture in the following snapshot. I also recognize the crowbar from I believe Railcraft. It wouldn't surprise me any if the rest of these had been nabbed from obscure sources as well.

My texturing skills are still in the works. While I did draw each and every one by had, some of them were, in a way, copied, as in i based them off of a reference image. Most of them are actually place holders though, as I am working on an update for the pack right now.

I don't really like how you talk about my textures like referencing is a bad thing. I assure you that I drew every texture in the pack by hand. It's not as if it's a crime to use the original carrot texture, I just liked it better. I promise you that if the reference images I used are obscure, that is coincidence. I simple googled, for example, minecraft crowbar, found an image I liked, and based mine off it. Others still are simply modified game textures. I would like to take this opportunity to state that on this pack, the comment section is for positive feedback, and suggestions. Not insults and accusations.
Baseball bat from The End is Extremily Nigh and hammer from Carpenter's blocks
The baseball bat is not from the end is extremely neig, as that pack is 32x32. The hammer, like multiple other weapons, is based off of a reference image. It is not tracing, it is not remixing. It helps assure the quality of my textures.
If you don't like the pack, don't download it. I didn't think that minecraft forum was so full f critics. Jeez.

Actually, it is. It literally is. Read up on how copyright law works. That texture is Mojang's property which is protected by copyright. Using it without Mojang's express written permission is a violation of copyright law. Same with the rest of the modified game textures. They're not your property, so you don't have the right to modify and redistribute them.
As for the rest, consider this: If people look at your pack and immediately think you've stolen your textures from another source, whether this is a true statement or not, it means you're not doing anything new or interesting with your artwork. You need to take a step back and really think about what you're doing in terms of style and quality. If your style is bland, or your quality sub-standard, refine it before you publish your pack.

You have made some valid points here. I am actually getting rid of or modifying farther any place holders, and it's coming along quite well. Expect the problem fixed before the end of the day. As for the carrot texture, the copyright law only comes into effect if I am distributing the texture with the purpose of making money, or claiming it as my own. At least as far as I know. I do appreciate your concern though.
As for the quality of my textures, my style is as close to default as I can manage, while still getting the apocalyptic feel. I wouldn't call it bland, just faithful.

You haven't watched the news in the past ten years, have you? Companies take down sites and projects for redistributing stuff for free all the time. It's the same reason I can't post movies on Youtube. Saying that you're putting something you don't own up for download, free or not, is illegal. Again, read up on how copyright law actually works rather than just assuming you know. You will get yourself into trouble by being ignorant.

Considering that the default style is the very definition of bland... I fail to see your point. That aside, you're not making a mod. You don't have to fit with the default style. Your goal as a resource pack artist should be to make something unique, not retread old ground.
If you don't want to do that, fine, but don't expect any positive attention for your work. If people want default, they have default. If they want apocalyptic, there are other packs for that. Not to mention plenty of mods. You're not going to stand out and set yourself apart my making a conscious effort not to do anything special. Sorry if that sounds rude, but it's the truth.
The fact that unfinished minecraft texture packs have the default textures begs to differ. I don't watch the news because it's just depressing, but I actually just looked it up and found that I am breaking no law. In order for me to get in trouble, I'd have to release a fully functional product for free, not a sigular sprite. The copyright laws are very specific, and based on exactly what the copied product is. It does not, for example, apply to images of an already released product. That's why you see screenshots from movies and games all over the internet. I am being the opposite of ignorant, I am being, if anything, smart.
I understand that the default textures are a bit bland, and that I'm not the first to make a default faithful pack, but I honestly wonder why you think your word is sage. I already said once that the comment section is for positive feedback, and suggestions. I am not remaking the whole pack just because it isn't good in one guy,s opinion. I feel like you should perhaps look at alterna craft, or alternate default. These packs are very successful. I also made pack a while ao that pretty much was the default textures, and posted it to planet minecraft. It gained a reasonable amount of success with it's over 3000 views and over 1000 downloads. I personally think I'll take your opinion to a grain of salt.
I feel like you may be trying to start a fight with me, talking like you're superior and like I don't know what I'm talking about. Honestly, I'm not looking for success. I made a simple pack, and figured, "Hey, maybe a few people would like this. I think I'll put it up for download." I didn't do it looking for your so called, "sage advice," and I'd very much like it if you kept it to yourself. The pack is up, I already changed some texturess to make it more original. I will add new content to it, but other than that, it stays up. Good day.
Changes are coming.
Give me a couple of hours.
