Merging Any OS
Is MCPatcher really needed on Mac OSX? If not we could merge the "normal" method on each OS to "Any OS" like in Tutorials/Map downloads.--freaktechnik (w 20:13, 30 December 2010 (UTC)


 * The only real difference is the file paths (I think, I don't have any other OS to verify that though) so the tutorials could probably be merged. MCPatcher is need for HD Textures so maybe I should have said that.

 * youp, the filepath are the only difference, see Linux and Windows sections.

basic info
Is it possible that different texture packs affect monster spawning? i know that the graphics setting affects monsters ability to spawn on some things (leaves) but can a texture pack affect it too?--Lazeman 01:39, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Say if Grass, a common monster hoarder at night, was partly transparent in a "Grass Opaqueness" texture pack, I suppose like leaves in a way, It could prevent monster spawns on grass. Jedi in, um, I forgot. 11:23, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

No it wouldn't affect mob spawning because the source for block transparency is in the game code, not in the texture.

Texture packs
I downloaded a texture pack and it is in the texture pack folder but its greyed out in the game menu and it doesnt work. Why does it do that? 121.217.128.213 10:40, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Which texture pack? You'll need a mod to use HD ones. -- Orthotope 03:14, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

HD Texture Pack
I downloaded the HD texture Pack "Soartex Fanver" (SF) as well as MCPatcher. Both downloaded fine and the patch was successful, which I know because I could see the "Better grass" part worked. However, I put the SF into the Minecraft texture pack folder as a .zip file, but it just showed up in Minecraft as the default texture pack, separate from the regular default pack. I can select it, but it's exactly the same as the default when I go into Minecraft. Am I doing something wrong? 10:08 PM, July 17, 2012

My mods and texture packs option in the main menu only says texture packs.
it sucks and I can't upload the painterly pack I just spent 2 hours assembling, I have Minecraft 1.3.2. This problem is making me not want to play.

Help my texture pack only partially work
e.g my skin and items are retextured but my blocks isnt retextured

Minecraft Resource Packs
I have downloaded a Resource pack I went into Minecraft, I then went to options and clicked Resource Pack, I then clicked the arrow so it moved the Pack to the column that said "Selected Resource Packs" and then clicked done. Nothing happened. I tried to exit out of Minecraft to restart the game and still nothing worked. Help?
