I thought that perhaps it would be possible to have random choices of textures applied to blocks, like Randomobs does for mobs, such as different stone textures applied on a wall.
the connected textures mod has this feature.
(it also allows you to give any texture to a specific block id, so unique fences, pressure plates, double slabs and others are possible)
Yeah, why the hell would you bump my thread? This question is from nearly a year ago, when CTM as we know it didn't exist. Since then I've written a bloody tutorial on how to use it. It just baffles me why you think this is even remotely relevant now.
