Talk:Texture pack

Is this page for the official texture packs or can we add our own? Jaeil 18:13, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * it's for texture packs of all sorts, but I figure, using this system, we can sort out what is and isn't supporting the new texture pack support in Minecraft.--Kizzycocoa 18:31, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there a texture pack that doesn't support the texture pack support? As far as I tried, everything seemed to work.  Are there some images that can't be replaced?  Is this the hellstone/water thing?  I'm a bit confused. Jaeil 20:22, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * well, yes. but I mean those specially modified to use the texture mod thing. not like, the ones where you download the terrain.png etc.--Kizzycocoa 20:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Some certain things don't work with the texture pack support, as they are loaded in a different way. ConMan8 23:06, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Do we need this page?
This page hasn't really taken off, I don't think there's much of a need for it on the wiki. Should we just make a link to something like  http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=81195 instead? --DannyF1966 09:54, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's four days old mate. Give it some time. Aclectasis 04:25, 18 November 2010 (CST)
 * Is that all? Wow, time flies! --DannyF1966 10:36, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem is no one is finding it. I've added some links around, hopefully things will start to pick up now. -F1racer101 05:01, 21 November 2010 (CST)
 * This page has became a necessity since Notch included a way to change texture packs from in-game. Most newbies will wonder what that is and will search for it. --Scykei 05:20, 21 November 2010 (CST)
 * Ditto, it may not be so pretty now but it is going to be very important in the future. '''[[User:Aclectasis| A ]] CLECTASIS ''' 11:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Although initially wrong, this page did help me figure out how to use the functionality of the mod and texture pack button. I've edited the contents to reflect this as of version 1.2. --Addesso 14.10, 15 January 2010

Major Packs and Edits of Them
Perhaps we could add a section here archiving major packs (under the criteria that 1) They provide an alternate texture for at least 95% of the blocks (in terrain.png) prior to the October 31, 2010 update 2) that all of the alternate textures are of original design) as well as edits of those packs (meaning that the author of that pack has determined that their edit is derived (meaning not of entirely of their design) from another pack, but has at least some of their own work in it.) - DuoNoxSol

I don't think you should upload .rar files here.
.rar is the hardest to upload to Minecraft, because it doesent work. It needs to be a .zip.
 * You can't upload it anyway. Neither .zips. Its funny, because it says on the upload page you can upload .zips. But you Can't! YaYaBinksMinecraft Woot JokeCraft v2.0!! 17:44, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Should hi-res packs be listed?
Since using high resolution texture packs requires modifying the game, should we even list those packs here? I added the disclaimer template to the hi-res section though that might not be appropriate. We should at least have something that says that non 16x16 texture packs are not supported and require client modification. RestfulMonad 08:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Good point actually. I'll subst and rewrite the template to better explain this. I think it'd be ok to keep them on this page as long as this disclaimer is in place (though personally, I think HD packs are the most illogical things I've ever seen). --Gnu32 12:24, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Possibly a helpful improvement
Perhaps it would be useful to post a diagram of the default beta texture.png with labels per texture cell.

Alphabetical ordering
It would be very much appreciated if downloads were ordered first by ascending alphabetical order, and then by version (latest to oldest). –The preceding unsigned comment was added by BlueToast (Talk . Please sign your posts with
