Hello, and thanks for taking interest in my texture pack. 
I created this pack, as I'd assume many texture pack authors do, because I grew tired of the default textures. Particularly, I don't like how inconsistent they are from one texture to the next. This is particularly evident in the items. Some, like the food, are very detailed while others are very flat and have a restricted pallet.
To put it mildly, it was driving me crazy so I thought I'd make this pack to return to Sanity.
I wanted to get as close to a realistic look as I could while still keeping the pixilated charm of the default 16x resolution. I've also gone to great lengths to make sure that there's no need to use any mods, like MCPatcher, if you don't want to. I'm not going to make anyone mod their game if they don't want to just to use my work. Of course I've added some optional extras for those who do use a texture-enhancing mod, but the changes are few and mostly subtle. 
I've been working on this pack for years to get it to the state it's in, so I hope you all enjoy it. 
IMPORTANT: I very likely will NOT be updating this pack to 1.13 or any future version of Minecraft. To put it simply, it's no longer enjoyable for me to work on this project. The art itself isn't enjoyable, and I'm not getting any secondary rewards like praise or money. Given these factors, it's better for me just to move on to other projects which bring me more joy. Thank you all for your support and understanding.

Right now, these are questions that I want to answer before anyone asks them. I might add more and make this an FAQ once more people start asking me about the pack. 
A: Read the License. You can basically do whatever you want as long as you: 1) give me credit and link back to this thread, 2) make no money from it (including from ads) unless it's a video (such as those found on youtube.com), and 3) release your work under the same license that this pack is released under.
If you do something cool with it, let me know and I'll link to you.
Q: I can't read/don't understand/don't want to follow the license. May I just ask your permission?
A: If this is the case, the answer is "no you may not."
Q: Will you add support for [ insert mod name here ]?
A: I only add support for mods I actually use, which is basically none at the moment. Most of the mods I've enjoyed have long since stopped updating, so there's currently no mod support in the pack. Even when I did mod support, I tended towards small mods that add something cool and unique to the vanilla game. This style has fallen out of vogue in favor of the Mega Mods that we see today, so it's unlikely I'll ever re-add mod support.
You're free to recommend mods to me if you think they'll fit my taste, but be warned: mods that add a ton of stuff, or that basically force the game to be just about their tech trees really turn me off and will never be supported by this pack.
Q: If I master your style and make textures for [ insert mod name here], will you include them in the pack?
A: If I feel that they're genuinely in my style, feel natural with the rest of the pack, and you give me full permission to use them I'll create a version of the pack that contains them. Likewise if you make your own add-on pack and I feel it's good enough I'll link to it.
Q: Will you please add support for Technic Pack / Tekkit / Feed the Beast / Some other gigantic mod pack?
A:
A:
Q: Will you update this pack to the latest snapshot?
A: Doubtful. Because I'm not currently playing Minecraft much it's hard for me to get enthusiastic enough to update this pack at all much less to do work for the Snapshots. I might do them if it suits me, but don't count on it and don't pester me.
Q: I'm not using the current version of Minecraft. Where can I download older versions?
A: You can find older versions and the changelog on this pack's page on Curse.
Q: Why don't you use adf.ly?
A: Adf.ly is probably the most reliable per-click revenue stream available at the moment, but I refuse to do business with them because of the practices of the advertisers they do business with. In particular, I've seen several ads that try to download, or trick you into downloading, software that contains spyware/malware. No amount of money they can pay me is worth the guilt I'd feel knowing that I contributed to even a single person's computer getting infected by that garbage.
Q: Why do you answer questions in green text?
A: Because it's easier to tell the question from the answer, and because green is my favorite color. This is also why there are a lot of things that I've colored green in this pack that are not often that color in others.

May 23rd: Updated with fixes for a number of crashes and added a feature to allow fancy signs to retain their data when broken and placed.
As you can see the gui has had some serious advancements.
Yes the simple gui is still there
What more can I say, Epic huh.
There is a green beacon in the desert, an orange beacon in the forest and three red beacons near the center. And yes I'm in a plane.

If you're asking if there is a way to get modifications for the game that work for all versions (which are commonly abbreviated to mods) then there is no way. Also, this game is intended children. While it's not really intended for kids under nine, it's still perfectly fine for kids under that age to play it.
This game is not designed for software developers, although the creators support people developing mods to a point. People like LexManos, Azanor, & SpaceToad saw Minecraft as a gold mine of hidden potential, and went to work making mods for the game to make it more interesting, adding Automation, Magic, and an easy modding system/program.
As for installing forge, you just need to download the installer. However, there is not Forge available for 1.8 yet, at least a version that is stable enough for use. All mods, at least those using Forge, are still on 1.7.10.

Resource Packs can already change this, and it's pointless to add a feature for something you can already do. No Support.

Third, storing food in a stationary block is, not to offend anyone, kind of useless. Most of a player's food, (which will generally be Steak, Porkchops, or Bread) will generally be on their person, rather than stored in a chest/barrel. Sure, it's handy to be able to store 57 stacks of Steak or Porkchops, but with cows & pigs respectively only dropping 2-3 of each, it'll be a very long time until crafting that barrel will be worth the effort put into it.
Finally, a barrel taking up a single block as compared to a double chest, which takes up two blocks, is not a very good incentive to make a barrel. If you're living in a four or five block house, then maybe it'd be useful if you have a ton of wheat...somehow. However, since this will more than likely just go into a large storage area that can be expanded as needed for more chests, the block hardly seems useful.

That argument never holds up, no matter what the implications are. Poor, and Computer do not go together in the same sentence.

Right now, though, your daughter absolutely has to downgrade to 1.7.10 in order to use these mods that she wants, as there is no way to really make them work with 1.8.1, unless you want to spend weeks updating code, which is not something tons of people know how to do, and I doubt that the creators would appreciate that. If she uses a world that she made in 1.8.1 with 1.7.10, it will kind of 'break' it, so make sure she knows that. Otherwise, though, downgrading or going without mods is the only real option.

Third, you need to know how to get to where you put the mods in. If it is used with Forge, you type in "%AppData%" to get to the Roaming folder, where there will be a folder titled .minecraft. Go into there, & there should be a folder named "mods". Just drop the .jar file in there, then boot the game up. If it's for use with the game's actual .jar, I think you go into a folder called versions, and add the contents of the .jar file that you downloaded into the jar file of the actual Minecraft jar.
Fourth, you will need to install Forge before you put the mod into the mods folder. Just download Forge, and when you open it with Java, it will bring up a little window. It's an installation program, which will automatically put all of the necessary files required for Forge where they need to be.
Fifth, know about any incompatibilities that the mod your daughter wants installed, which should be listed on the mod's forum post. If it says that it is incompatible with, Buildcraft, for example, then any mods that are titled Buildcraft will cause the game to crash when you use that mod & Buildcraft together. However, pretty much every Forge mod works well with each other, so that shouldn't be too much of a worry. Hope that this helps!

No offense, but with how many launchers there are, and that practically every modpack imaginable has some build for 1.6.4, you can't find one yourself? Just download the Feed the Beast launcher, go into the Third Party Packs section, and go absolutely freakin' nuts.
