In 2010 I started the Faithful texture pack as a labour of love. With help from the community I worked on it for many years. Towards the end, my personal situation halted development, and in 2016 I logged out for the last time; Withdrawing from the community. The longer I stayed away the harder it was to return. Recently community members reached out to me and I learned what has happened in my absence. The pack has been stolen and sold without my consent by someone called xMrVizzy/kraineff.
This kraineff has falsely claimed I gave him sole ownership of the pack. As proof he offers a screenshot of a faked conversation. The utterances he puts in my mouth aren't even the words of a native English speaker. I have never knowingly spoken with him, nor had I heard his name before this last year.
Thankfully this isn't all that happened since I was gone. There are a number of quality projects carrying the Faithful torch. I want to mention and explicitly give permission where it is necessary.
Compliance is more of a spiritual successor to Faithful. It has its own style and all original textures.
Emulated Vattic Textures, as the name implies, focuses on maintaining the original Faithful style and retains many of the original textures.
FaithfulVenom is one of the oldest still updated versions of the pack which still has my permission from way back when.
There are more besides FaithfulVenom which got my permission in the past. Various adventure map makers and the like. These permissions still stand. My apologies if I have missed you.
Thanks a ton! Hopefully what has been unrightfully taken from you you're able to gain back. Working to keep the Emulated Vattic Textures afloat has been the honor of my life especially after you have authorized us to continue working on it. I hope it's dealt with soon.
I've been following this series of events basically since you vanished. MCF has always done our best to stand for creator rights and so I'm exceedingly pleased to see you here setting the record straight. My very best to you and all those who have been aiding you.
I've subscribed to this thread and so will be keeping an eye out for any troublemakers. Hopefully everyone will remember to be respectful and not cause any more drama than necessary given the nature of the situation. Just remember that the staff are but a Report away if needed.
Fortunately today will be a new era for the Faithful texture pack.
You deserve all the support you need, as you literally got robbed for around 5 years. If you have not done already, support Vattic's gofundme on his Twitter page.
Happy to see you back Vattic. I've adored your work for a long time. Even put in the extra effort to make a 32x version of my minecraft skin to use in conjunction with your work when they were called just 'texture packs'. It hurts to find out I've been using a creep's stolen work since Minecraft 1.9.
I just purged it from my resource packs in a fit of rage and will be using Compliance from this point forward.

So good to have you back Vattic.
Would be posting on my "AntVenom" name, but it's locked from inactivity during the forums ownership transfer. 😅
Glad to have you back!
