Do you use texture packs or not? If the answer is yes what texture pack do you use?

[Bigpak]

Hi, It's me again sorry for bothering you I just thought it would be interesting to see what texturepacks people are playing with and if they are or are not using one.

 

[SatanicSanta]

I use a mix between Norte and Faithful

Soartex Fanver with a few tiny alterations(for example don't like the IC2 Quantum, Nano, Hazmat etc. textures, so adding some from Misastyle(Including adding it for Gravisuite)).

Alright thank you I appreciate it, do you agree that when its getting old etc and you may be bored trying different texture packs can get you back into the mood?

Ehm well for me the looks of MC is Soartex. It is just so ingrown to me by now. I use it because it improves the quality (64x textures) while staying very true to the style and feel of MC. It is not photorealistic, but it is very clean and crisp which I enjoy a lot. And tbh I haven't seen an alternative for that yet. Either it is lower resolution or you loose the connection to the original MC with other packs IMO.

And it is not really very easy for me personally to switch around too often should I actually wish to. My worlds last very long(I am still in my first and only serious 1.6 world), and changing texture packs would require me to change builds as well as the blocks suddenly don't work together any more.

I find difficult to play Minecraft with high definition texture packs. I usually play without a texture pack, but sometimes I load the game with the Faithful one or Soartex. But I think I'll switch to Unity once it covers more 1.7 mods.

Yes, using John Smith Technicians Remix, as it's one of the 32x packs with the most extensive mod coverage looks good, and sort of "universal". As in not cartoony, hyper-realistic or futuristic etc, and meshes well with any leftover vanilla 16x textures. I mix in a bit of Card's Summerfields FTB work to cover a few missing mods.

I don't use texture packs, but look forward to the performance boost in 1.8 that is now on the horizon to allow me to use them

Funny enough, a few days ago I posted a poll to /r/feedthebeast asking this.

Here are the results: http://strawpoll.me/2201138/r

43% None

27% Faithful 32

14% Sphax

12% Soartex

6% Other

That is a 586 person sample size with duplicate voting turned off, so its fairly accurate averages of the community.

I use faithful. I like some of the other packs and how they look but I get confused if things look too different from Vanilla. Have been playing for too long I guess

 

[Golrith]

Misa mixed with Batterered Old Stuff, some John Smith 32 and T42 and then my own efforts for whatever is left.
Can't play MC on 16x textures. Misa is near natural and a bit more neutral (kinder on the eyes) but still designed around the vanilla textures.

 

[Ieldra]

Sphax 64x here. I've been using this for so long that there are blocks I won't recognize from their vanilla appearance. I tried switching now and then, but in Soartex I dislike the appearance of some of the most common blocks (dirt and grass and most notably water *shudder*), Faithful looks too much like vanilla and anything else takes too long and/or is too difficult to adapt to Monster.

 

[b0bst3r]

I'm a Sphax man through and through, I've always used it.

 

[Quesenek]

I tried playing with a texture pack for awhile however the massive amount of mods currently in monster before you add up the mods I add on my own, it just turns into a google hunt for textures instead of actually playing.
Sometimes I miss the look that sphax gave the game, but to be honest I like the look of the default textures which are the textures that the mod makers might have envisioned their mods looking like while making them instead of someone else who has no idea what the original vision for the item/mod was.

 

[McJty]

For sphax and faithful it is actually pretty easy to download nearly complete FTB texture packs. For example here http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum...acks/1245356-faithful-32x32-for-ftb-unleashed

Doing a quick google shows some other possibilities. I just had to download a single thing. All was included

Unity yo.

VILLAINCRAFT FUCK YEAH!!!

Especially the Asylum version. The minecraft forum page is broken though thanks to the new forum format.

 

[Pokefenn]

Is resource pack. Sounds are WIP though. I dunno if the author has been working on it, I think he feels a bit uninspired because his topic on the mcforum is broken, and if he edits it half the post disappears. There's not any mod support, it used to support better then wolves, MightyPork's backpack's mod (which is now Eydamos' mod, which Brokeneye wants to support eventually), the old Powercraft mod, the Turret Mod, and Risugami's mods.
