I've been thinking about trying this challenge for several years now, and I finally started a world for it back in December. About four and a half months of intermittent play later, I have completed the wood age.

I'm making a point to fix a lot of old problems and get a lot of the blocks to match better so that it's easier to choose colors to build with. To this end there are a LOT of blocks that are getting changed in the 1.11 update. I've felt I needed to do this for a long time, and I figured that I should see to it before I added sixteen colors of Shulker Box AND sixteen different Llama blankets to the pack to compound the problem further.
So in addition to changing the hue of a lot of the wool and hardened clay blocks, I'm also taking this time to address a few blocks that were in desperate need of revision. For example, the horrible Lapis Block texture I used to have. Right now, I've got three NEW versions I think are pretty good. Check them out, and please let me know which one you prefer:

Feedback is appreciated... and required since I really need to know which of these people like better.
Thank you all in advance.

Season's Greetings! Instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing and updating this pack to 1.11 like a good little resource pack artist, I've instead been working on getting the Christmas Add-on Pack up to 1.10. So far I haven't made much progress, but I'm made a Christmas-y crafting table! Take a look!
Let me know what you think as feedback is always appreciated. Also, tell me what you'd like me to add some Christmas cheer to next!

Continuing my work on the Christmas add-on pack. I'll start publishing these updates when I know someone actually cares enough to download it.
Self-depricating humor out of the way, today I made the potions into Hot Cocoa:

From left to right, these are normal, splash, and lingering potions. The mug changes color instead of the liquid because I think it looks cooler.
Let me know what you think. Feedback is always appreciated.

This is all I have. I probably won't finish this, because it's not particularly good. I am very rusty, and it shows.

There's a discussion on reddit with a guy from PMC and Curse on what they should do about adfly. Ban, not ban, something inbetween.

Some of you may want to take part...

Also, anybody getting any value from patreon as a resource pack creator? Anybody aware of someone doing it well?

Welcome to the Dead Lands
This entry isn't finished, but I wanted to post progress if for no other reason than to get some feedback and motivate myself to actually finish this silly thing! Thus far I've completed ten block textures (dirt, grass, tall grass, dandelion, rose bush, oak log, oak leaves, birch log, and birch leaves) and zero mob textures. Hopefully I can get five more blocks and three mobs finished before Friday.

Because I'm doing this in the same general style as "Sanity" I think this is eventually going to morph into a Halloween add-on pack for that pack. The way I'm headed, though, It'll almost be a complete retooling of the regular version. Don't worry, though. Absolutely nothing in this contest entry is taken from my existing work. It's 100% original made for this contest.

Feedback is appreciated, though looking at the unsettling screenshot and telling me I need psychiatric help is not really useful in improving my art.

Reworked cobblestone again:

I said I wouldn't... but I finally noticed what was bugging me about the last version, so here it is again.

At this point I just assume that you'll redo your cobble about once per month. This might be my favorite version yet.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, hopefully yours isn't as weird and humid as ours.

center]"Sanity" Christmas Pack Updated!
More Ornaments!

It may not be the update you asked for on your Christmas wishlist, but you have to admit that it's still better than getting socks.

As promised, all of the dyes are now single-color ornaments of some description. Mostly just the cliche shiny spheres with which to decorate things. I also made Ghast Tears into icicles, though, since I know those are really popular these days. I hope you all enjoy these additions.

Sadly it doesn't look like I'll be getting this finished before Christmas on account of that event only being a week away now. There was a series of family crises over the last couple of weeks that prevented me from working on it... or at least being in any sort of mood to do anything artistic. It's all settle for the moment, though, so I'm going to try to get an update done for this every day or so even if it's just something minor. That'll leave plenty of room for me to pick this up again next year, though, for anyone that'll still be playing Minecraft in 2016.

Feedback is GREATLY appreciated, and would really help to lift my low spirits this Christmas season. Thank you!

I've taken influences from steampunk, art deco/Bioshock, and 50's futurism blended with many contemporary ideas to build a resource pack designed to accompany my underwater city, Aquain. My pack takes its design cues and style inspiration from these sources, but is primarily practical in its outlook. Function over form. So, for example, when you look at a lot of steampunk style there are often just random gears stuck in every spot possible that seem to do nothing practical except look cool. But gears are a highly practical and useful item, not decoration. So I'll use them when it fits, but not otherwise.

I had wanted to go with a 1950's retro futurism look, but the main design element in that style is radically curved and rounded surfaces. Of course that is very difficult to do with Minecraft blocks. So instead I've gone with a more Art Deco approach. Yet at the same time I really like the rough hewn look of exposed metal, whereas Art Deco is a more sophisticated, polished look. I have a mix of each, depending on the location in the city. Poorer areas of the city will have to deal with metal walls instead of fancy wallpaper. An industrial area will look very different than an upscale shopping district.

I tried for a very realistic look and feel. Yet I wanted everything to be distinctive. Nothing like those 'realistic' packs where everything is a super grainy shade of gray & brown. Also, I've mixed in some 32x, 64x and 128x textures. I know that is unorthodox, but I wanted everything to be as small as I could get away with. But on the whole, most of the stuff I've put in myself is 64x. Very few 128x textures. A lot of the 32x stuff is placeholders from doku.

While the total number of blocks that have been retextured is as of yet relatively small, I've made a lot of use of CTM and other tricks to get the most out of each texture. Because of this, this pack is highly specialized and probably won't look right if you just use this pack to view your build. Some blocks have entirely different textures on their top, bottom and sides. In theory this gives me the flexibility to have a huge number of textures, some with very specific and limited uses. In practice, I'll probably never fill out all those textures since my pace of work is incredibly slow. But much of this pack is based on sharealike textures, so feel free to reuse them in your packs. Just give both me and the original creator credit.

It has been eight years of very, very slow progress, but after lots of requests, I have finally gotten rid of enough borrowed textures to make this public. If you'd like to see this continue to grow I'd love some help. This is too big a project for me, unfortunately. But I'm pretty stubborn and don't give up easily, so I'll continue tinkering with it for as long as I can. So expect infrequent updates for some time to come.

Important: You absolutely NEED Optifine for the texture pack to work correctly. Install one of those mods before using the pack.

The video quality is fairly low, especially the underwater bits, so don't hold it against the pack! Download it and see for yourself!

Check out the Source.txt file in my pack for a more extensive list, but here are a few key sources that contributed (knowingly or unknowingly) some excellent textures to this project (as either placeholders or final textures).

Some of the high tech looking placeholders (like pistons) come from MassenEffect Sci-Fi Texture Pack 128x:

A good number of the placeholder textures are from Dokucraft 32x that is free to use:

I'd love for you to use my textures! Just keep in mind that some of these I'm using by special permission, so don't use those (or contact the creator for permission as well). Other textures I purchased, I don't think you can use those in your packs either. For the stuff that has an open license, feel free to remix and adapt! Just give me and the original creator credit. And if you can post here in this thread to link to your pack and let me know which texture you are using, that'd be great!
