Welcome to the Official Thread of madflavius's and yubyub96's JohnSmith for TFC texture pack! ----Acknowledgments---- This texture pack was originally created by the great JohnSmith over on the Minecraft Forums. He is a texture genius, and all credit for the design style and vanilla blocks goes to him. Additionally, some of the TFC menu GUIs were created by BluPixal here on the TFC forums. The Endermen skin comes from the Conquest texture pack, which is itself based on JohnSmith to some degree. ----Why another JohnSmith Pack?---- But madflav, someone else is doing a JohnSmith TFC pack! Yes, please do check out BluPixal's fantastic port of JohnSmith on this very forum! The reason I'm doing my own variant of the same pack is simple: JohnSmith, from the beginning, has allowed its users to heavily customize the particular "flavor" of their own pack. The JohnSmith Customizer allows a wide variety of choices, from the use of different textures of stone to doors and torches. I simply want to offer another variant on the gorgeous original pack. What differentiates your pack from BluPixal's, then? A number of things! First, I have a slightly different style to the GUIs, all of which are done but for the metallurgy screen (however, I am always eager to hear comments about the work, and I can certainly be persuaded to modify "finished" parts!). Secondly, I use a few non-John Smith elements in the pack, which I have been making for my sadly-still-Vanilla 1.3.2 server, Eleutheria. First, the skeletons are now "bandits" and use various human skins--yes, their legs and arms are gangly, but it fits better in the ancient/medieval aesthetic than do skeletons! But here is what really separates these two packs: unique tools, ores, rocks, and trees. Rather than using a palette-swapped version of each tool, I am drawing each metal's tool uniquely to give each level a different feel. Each tool is further based (as far as is possible with 32x32 pixels!) off an actual historical find. For instance, the bronze axehead is based off a Minoan find; the copper ax is based off the historical copper ax found on the body of the Iceman (no, not Val Kilmer) mummy found in the Austrian Alps. This will take me a bit longer to finish, but I think it's worth it. The rocks, too, will have a custom geology in line with their actual appearance. ----Screenshots---- Here are some screenshots and comparisons for your viewing pleasure. NEW 2/14/13!
