I decided to practice my terrible GIMP skills and make a texture pack to Minecraft.

The goal here is to simplify the graphics and improve some texture patterns I didn't like (Like cobblestone being ugly)

So far what I've altered is
DAY ONE

• Cobblestone (Just recolored brick)
• Wooden door
• Sign
• Chests
• Obsidian (Current pure black tuxture sucks. Changing again soon)
• Sun and moon (Sun change is hard to see with the blue sky)
• Stone

• Workbench
• Metal Door
• Logs
• Wood planks
• Jukebox
• Brick
• Bed

• Non-block items (dyes, food)
• Wool
• Plants (Except base log)
• GUI
• Art (Unless you want to be assailed by furriness)

Oh, awesome dude.

How exactly do you make a texture pack? >_>

But I'll download it when you finish, for sure.

Oh wow, from the looks of the preview you made very minimalistic changes/simplifications and yet it still comes out looking better then the normal textures. Nice work

I quite like the look of this, it's a very clean and simple pack.

I got a few more things done. The furnace seems to have too much of a contrast to me though. I'll see what you guys think. Maybe I should make the dark texture more like cobblestone.

Looks good to me, Jared.

The main focus is terrain.png, which is the file that contains all the textures for blocks. Edit that and whack it into a .zip (Make sure it's in the root of the .zip) and put that in your texture pack folder. Items and stuff like that are in the gui folder in minecraft.jar.

The Cobblestone looks fantastic, Jared, but you're right I hate the default looks of Cobblestone (thus the reason why I don't like it very much)

I like it! It looks great! I agree that maybe you should make the darker portion of the furnace a bit more like cobblestone though? C:

Uhh so, I tried to do a few blocks on a TP and see if it works but it didn't..The terrain.png has different textures on it but only the default textures are being used. Help?

Could you upload the files and give them to me? I'd be able to figure it out that way better than anything.

I see the problem already. Your root is SuperKow's Texture Pack. You need to have all the files right in the base of the zip for it to work.

When you first open the archive it looks like this




But it should look like this
