    Hey there, everyone!


    Although I'm still away at college and don't have the time to update this pack on my own, I want to thank all of the people who have been updating it while I've been gone. Specifically, I've noticed that BerenSaelor and JRoush have been posted some updates recently. I'm sure there are others who have contributed at some point, and I just want to say that I really appreciate all of your help with keeping this texture pack alive!


    Anyway, that's all for now. Keep up the awesome work, guys.


    Happy mining!

    *OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*

    Hello everyone. As some of you may have noticed, I mysteriously disappeared for the past year, and I apologize for leaving all of you wondering what happened to me. Unfortunately, I have to say that I have abandoned my work on this texture pack. In fact, I am no longer following the development of Minecraft. I am so thankful for all of your dedication since my work first began during the Alpha stages of the game. With that said, I hope you all continue to enjoy this game and the many other texture packs available on this site. If anyone wishes to revive this pack under their own name with updated textures, please feel free to do so. Mixcraft is no longer my project. It belongs to all of you now.

    Thank you for everything.

    I'm saving up for Adobe Photoshop CS5 so I can create better textures. (but I will NOT illegally download it) If you like Mixcraft and want to help me reach my goal, feel free to donate by following this link!--->

    You MUST read the "FAQ" section at the bottom of this post BEFORE asking any questions!!

    TOPIC DISCUSSION SYSTEM (I want YOUR opinions!)

    This new topic system has been created to get all of your criticisms and ideas into the pack!
    Basically: You see something you don't like, you suggest it, we discuss it, I make it better.


    Topics must be about a single texture, and can be any block, mob, item, painting, etc...
    If there is a texture which you believe needs to be revisited, please post a comment below.

    Once we see multiple suggestions, the most common one will be declared the new topic.
    While a texture is the topic for discussion, it will become my primary focus for that day.
    Any possible variants for the texture will be posted here, and we will agree on a final.

    By this method, Mixcraft will be constantly improved and will be almost entirely community driven.
    I will also accept any of your own concepts, which could be both random images or complete textures.

    ======================================================================

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

    Q: If I install this texture pack, will it make my game lag? Also, how high is the resolution?

    A: The main Mixcraft HD is 32x32 pixels per block, and Mixcraft Basic is 16x16 pixels. Packs usually range from 16x16 to 128x128, and a few are 256x256. So this pack is fairly low resolution. For this reason, your game will probably not lag from using it, unless you already have a very slow computer.

    Q: My compass/watch is broken, netherrack looks like water, and bricks are glitched. How do I fix this?

    A: You didn't install the HD Texture Patch correctly, the way I said to do it in the instructions. If following the instructions doesn't work, post a comment describing exactly what you did.

    Q: With the HD font, the letters overlap eachother and are out of order. How do I fix this?

    A: First follow the "How to Uninstall" instructions included in the pack. Now try to reinstall the pack, but this time make sure that when you run the patcher, the "Hi-Res Font" button IS checked. Then click the "Patch" button. (Note: HD fonts do NOT work with the Optimine mod!)

    Q: With the HD font, the spacing between each of the letters is doubled. How do I fix this?

    A: The HD font file is NOT compatible with ModLoader Version 4 or any earlier versions. You must go download the latest Version of ModLoader and use that one insead. It must be at least Version 5. (Note: HD fonts do NOT work with the Optimine mod!)

    Q: I am on a PC running Windows and can't find the "AppData" folder. How do I find it?

    A: AppData is a hidden folder. To see it, click the windows icon on the bottom left of your desktop and open the Control Panel. From there, find and open the "folder options" menu. Under the "view" tab, look for the "hidden files and folders" section. Check the box that says "show hidden files and folders" and click "Apply" at the bottom. Go back to your Master Account folder and you should now be able to see the AppData folder.

    Q: After running the patch, I now just get a black screen when I start minecraft. How do I fix this?

    A: You didn't install the HD Texture Patch correctly, the way I said to do it in the instructions. If following the instructions doesn't work, post a comment describing exactly what you did.

    Q: Why are there no clouds in this pack? Did you forget to put in the cloud texture?

    A: There are no clouds because the clouds are the only things that CANT be made a higher definition.
    I took them out because they just look like giant squares and they block your view at high altitudes.
    If you REALLY want to have clouds, go to the Options and Extras folder and install the "Normal Couds".


    Q: Will you ever make a pack higher than 32x32 resolution? Maybe 64x64 or 128x128?

    A: The short answer is probably not. I was reluctant to even go past the default resolution at first. This is for three reasons: It looks un-natural to minecraft, it often causes lag, and it's a lot more work.

    Q: Can you help me over Xbox live, e-mail, AIM, Skype, or any other forms of messaging?

    A: I used to help people over all of these, however many of you began spamming me with messages.
    If you REALLY want my help, just post a comment here! ONLY send me a PM if absolutely necessary.
    I love to play Xbox with those who wish to, but if you ask about my textures on Xbox, I will ignore you.

    Quote from bobi897

    Yes I may have blew up some of the claims, but I DO have facts supporting that what you are doing isn't allowed (ie copyright infringement)
    1. You say it your self in your credits you used textures from Gilmmar's textures. This is his copyright status on his texture pack steampunk (http://tinyurl.com/2t9all) and it also says "However, please don't release your texture pack whilst it still contains any artwork from this pack." on his topic and has a list of users allowed to use his textures (you sir are not on it).
    2.AaGeOn CLEARLY states that you can't reproduce / use his texture as a base or in original form and is protected under international copyright laws.
    3. SMP's textures are also basically the same.
    The point is that you can't take peoples textures and then use them as a base to even change stuff then redistribute it AND make money off of it. And unless you have proof that everyone from your credits page 1. allowed you to use there textures and redistribute/ make money. And if you don't have that what your doing can/ is illegal under some of those peoples copyright terms. And it dosn't matter if even 90% of these textures are yours (which it seems to be) you can't have a DL for the others textures. Let alone make money off of it

    Did you ever stop to think that just maybe I've already spoken with these people and that they have given me permission to use the textures I'm using? Yes, generally we texture pack creators don't like other people using our stuff, but sometimes when they only want to use a few textures and they ask nicely, we decide to give it to them. I personally get messages sent to me all the time from people asking to use some of my textures, and generally I don't mind if they borrow a few things here and there.

    If you want specifics, then here they are: 1) Glimmer and I just discussed the use of his biome colors a few months ago, and I can send you the messages if you don't believe me. 2) Aageon was fine with me using his water animation, especially since I changed the color and lowered the resolution. 3) SMP left the forum for a while and wrote in the first page of his topic that people could take his textures and use them as they please, which was when I first added a few of them as a base for textures I hadn't completed, such as the armor.

    You think there's like some big conspiracy going on, but the truth is that most of the popular texture pack creators just want people to be happy and be able to enjoy minecraft. That's exactly why we're making these packs in the first place. It's not like any of us even charge money for these packs. We just automatically get a tiny fraction of a cent every time someone downloads our pack. Maybe you don't like that, but it's nice for me to know that all the hours I've put into this over the past 18 months are at least worth something. So I would appreciate it if you stop accusing me of these things when you don't even have all the facts.

    Also, if you wish to continue this discussion, I would prefer to do it through private messages.

    To all who were requesting an update, I don't usually update until new textures are released. If you needed the latest patch for the 1.1 update, you could simply download it from the link on the first page.

    On that note, the 1.2 update has just been released, so I am now working on the new textures.

    I should be able to release an update before this weekend, so keep an eye out for it!

    :Diamond: Happy mining :Diamond:

    you have a adf.ly link on you ARE getting money of of OTHER peoples stuff which is NOT allowed. so take down those links

    That was a LONG time ago. This isn't a compilation of other texture packs anymore. A couple of the textures were borrowed, but their creators gave me permission. I occasionally use some as placeholders, but that's it.

    I make my own textures now.

    Oh well. It was nice having some variety while it lasted.
    Good luck making a better glowstone!

    Also, what do you think of the obsidian idea I posted earlier?

    I actually did darken the obsidian a bit after you said that, even though it isn't very noticable.

    Making it look like black or dark purple glass is going to be difficult though... Right now I'm just going to focus on the textures that have a higher priority, like the glowstone and the newer 1.9 textures.

    Mixcraft v39 Pack has just been released. It is compatible with the second 1.9 pre-release. Once again, some of the textures I'm only using as placeholders, (such as the blaze powder, magma cream, and spider eyes, which were made by Lithiumsound). I did this because I wanted all of you to be able to use the pack over the weekend, but I am still working on finishing up the rest of the textures that need editing.

    Unless there is another pre-release, Mixcraft Version 40 will be released shortly after the Beta 1.9 update.
