I haven't posted here in a few weeks, so I just want to let everyone know that I AM still active in working on this texture pack. I will continue to check the Word of Notch each day, and will update the pack when he finally releases the Beta 1.7 update. I might not answer as many questions on here as I usually do, but just because I don't say much doesn't mean I'm gone. I plan on sticking around at least until Minecraft has officially been completed.
Subject says "Working on 1.6 update" and saw a post earlier that said it would be ready by 9. I can't play Minecraft without Mixcraft. Your texture is the BEST. Any ETA on a release?
About 30 minutes, as long as I don't find any problems while testing the new textures.
Beginning work on update now... Join my tinychat if you want to contribute ideas or ask about my progress.
EDIT: Can someone please explain what the two textures are just below the solid diamond block in the terrain file? I know the textures below the solid gold are the tall grass texture and the desert weed texture, but I can't figure out the other two...
Beta 1.6 is going to be released tomorrow morning, but I unfortunately I won't be around in the morning. Expect an update to mixcraft later tomorrow night, at least before 9:00 pm!
Ah. That's why it's Black and Gold xD
I was wondering about that too :tongue.gif:
What's in store for v32? (Besides map textures and such, of course)
I don't know, I haven't really thought of anything yet... I've been very busy for the past couple weeks and I'm going to continue to be busy for at least another week, so I'm not planning on doing much for the next version other than adding 32x32 versions of the new textures (maps, wild grass, possibly a new material for the sky dimention)
If I ever do end up working on the custom water flowing texture, it's going to be later this summer.
Oh, okay. I'm just gonna assume you got permission. :biggrin.gif:
I did, but sometimes I take those textures and re-make them myself so I don't have to borrow them anymore. As long as I keep working on this pack, all of the textures should eventually just be made by me, even the less important ones.
Just a question, Why does it say Black-N-Gold! in the tread title? Awesome Texture pack btw.
Mostly because I had just finished the new gold tools, which now have both black and gold mixed together, so they look even more awesome than they did before (although they are still pretty much worthless)
Sometimes it's just hard to come up with good advertisement phrases, especially when I release a version that only has fixes to old textures and doesn't actually have any new textures.
SOrry if this has already been mentioned but you should change the positioning of things like the shovel. I dont think im going to shoot someone with a spade. . . Just saying.
Shoot someone? Why would you be shooting someone with your shovel?
Either way, they are rotated that way so that it actually looks like you are digging. Normally, the shovel is positioned the same way as all the other tools, so when you try to dig it looks like youre just whacking the dirt.
I honestly don't understand... is this a mixture of textures, or an original work? Because I don't see mentions of it being a remix pack, and you're taking donations and everything, but the name and such makes me think it's a remix pack
Any clarification?
It's not a remix pack. We were thinking about changing the name, but the pack is already so popular that it might just cause confusion. I assure you that the majority of the work here is my own.
Well here we are, the new minecraft forum. This is going to be my official post for any information I discover on the new layout that seems worth noting, and is basically just an overall review. This post will be updated when needed.
1) Ratings
The first thing I said when I saw that they added a rating system was "Oh ****..." but then I noticed they are only positive ratings at the moment, so thats a little better. It's not that I think ratings are a bad idea, I just don't really like the competition. People are going to start judging texture packs by how many PLUS ONES the first post in the topic has, which they really shouldn't do... Either way, I would appreciate it if any of you who like Mixcraft could +1 my original post! I know I'm just contradicting myself, but still, ratings are ratings. :smile.gif:
2) Forum Design
I'm sure most of you agree with me, but I LOVE that they post news on the front page of Notch's recent activity and upcoming Minecraft updates and such. That's going to make it much easier for me to know what's going on and when I need to update Mixcraft. Many of you may not have noticed yet, but they added more space to the length of the actual page itself, meaning I can also increase the size of the picutres I posted. I'm also glad they added the word "pinned" in front of pinned topics, because maybe now you will all stop calling them "stickys" and call them by their proper name! I'm mostly just joking about that, but I've just always known them as "pinned topics" from being on other forums.
3) Forum Functionality
Some of the changes to the way the forum works are a little annoying. As soon as I opened this topic, I noticed some of the codes got messed up, so now my [youtube] codes and [simg] codes don't seem to be working. A few of the posts seem to be missing too, since this used to be the 163rd page. On that note, have anyone else noticed the 3rd post down on this page? It was posted on April 27th, so why the hell is it on THIS page?!? I also really don't like the new font for posting new posts. It looks like the font in Notepad, and therefore it looks pretty bad. I'm sure there are many other good changes to the inner workings, (maybe they fixed my poll), but I just haven't seen them yet.
Testing the poll to see if it finally works again... Fingers crossed!
WiredEyeTV just finished the new Mixcraft HD Installation Video and I posted it under the download link on the first page of this topic. I actually did this yesterday, but I never informed you all, so that's what I'm doing now. If you are having problems installing the pack, please watch the video before posting in here. Thanks.
I also want to find some way to celebrate when Mixcraft finally gets over 1,000,000 views, like the way Notch celebrated 1,000,000 purchases of Minecraft by giving us cakes. If you can think of any constructive ideas other than just "make some new textures" then please post your ideas below!

Yeah actually, minecraft is running at about 1 frame per second and I have no idea why...
Can someone test this? --> http://www.mediafire.com/?rmu4d2rqa1d1w04
(Specifically the maps, everything else should be fine)

That's just because you didn't install the HD Texture Patch.

For requests like this, you should really send me a personal message instead of posting it here.

A couple things were not made by me, such as the animals. Check the bottom of my original post for specifics.
