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, July 17, 2012
