The current system of choosing a texture pack in its entirety is inflexible. I'd recommend a new system where texture packs are selected in a tree structure, so you could either select the top node, getting a texture pack in its entirety, or select a sub node, like a terrain node or a mob node (or both, or subnodes of those). You could then mix & match this with other texture packs at the same time.
A much, much simpler alternative would be to simple understand how the texture packs work. In doing so, you would realize that it is very easy to just mix and match on your own. Just make your own folder called "custom" or whatever helps you remember, and start copying in the files you want from other texture packs. Like that SimpleCraft's textures? Drag and drop the terrain file. Like DokuCraft's mobs? Drag and drop the mob folder. Sure, it requires you to take a few minutes and actually do something for yourself, but it won't waste the developers' time.
..Hmm, I got a little cynical toward the end there. Simply put, just learn to make your own texture pack.

I'm almost 100% positive that this have been suggested before but i'll suggest it again anyways
I think it sounds a little bit too complicated. Like the above post said, just mix your own. And why would you want too mix 2 textures? HD grass and 4x4 pixels big items. Hahaha, sounds fun :tongue.gif:

And if you like the original TNT over Simplecraft's, open both up in Paint, Select Tool, copy and paste and you are done. That being said, I can never get texture packs to work using the textures folder. I can replace them just fine by editing my Minecraft.jar but I like to keep the standard one the same. The texture packs show up but when I select it it doesn't change anything.

I know how to make my own texture pack, and have customized several. It was in doing that, that I decided there should be a built-in, simpler way to do so.
The complexity of the UI that would be necessary for that would save no time, as at that point you would still have to select exact files from exact locations.
It would basically be windows+e with a minecraft theme.

This is the same sort of argument that people begging for a built-in map editor make. If something does the exact same thing, what difference does it make if it's in Minecraft or in a window right next to it?

arirish, don't come into a topic talking about something that's not related to what the person is suggesting, you can't just come in and dictate what gets done first regardless of how you feel about it, your post has nothing to do with this topic and I'd rather see people like you banned for constantly throwing your opinion around and going off topic, next time show a little more respect to the topic owner and don't be like " NOZ U CANT HAZ CUZ I WANTS OTHER STUFFZ FIRST!!!"
The man is only suggesting something, get off your high horse.
