Have you ever thought to yourself "Gee, Minecraft looks a bit flat and bland, I wish it would have some subtle depth to it!"? Well think no more! With the Defined texture pack every block is given a little bit more depth to make them look just that bit better! At first glance they may look just like the default textures, but on closer inspection they're quite a bit different... Don't believe me? Have some screenshots:
Refreshing Landscapes!
A new look for your crops!
Add charm to your villages!
Beautiful Strongholds!
Deeper ores!
Mobs!
Armour!
GUIs!
Animated Water and Lava! (And portals and fire!)
PremiumWood Mod!
Netherrocks!

1. Download the version of the texture pack you want above
2. Place the .zip into your Minecraft's texture pack folder
3. IF YOU ARE RUNNING MINECRAFT VERSION 1.4.7 OR LOWERYou MUST Download MCPatcher and patch your Minecraft for HD Textures. As an alternative, you can also use Optifine which, on top of being an amazing mod, supports HD textures! If you are running version 1.5 or higher you will not need this.
4. Load up Minecraft, and in the Texture Pack menu select "Defined.zip" or "Defined32.zip"
5. Enjoy! If you like the pack, be sure to click the green + at the bottom of this post!
It has come to my attention that a few people believe this to be a copy of 'Traditional Beauty', another variation of the default textures to make them look nicer. I must inform you that this is /not/ a copy of that, and although they are similar they each have differences. Here are a couple of comparison pictures:
And here's a quote from BlowJoe (The creater of Traditional Beauty) if you're still not convinced
Hey,
i just got here beacuse one of my TP users said that my (Traditional Beauty) and your Pack are looking pretty much the same. I have to say, no they aren't looking the same. Yes it is the same effect but the way to achieve this effect is in both TP an other. I realy like this pack and don't want that any of my users are comeing here and flameing it.
A *thumbs up* for this TP!
Choose whichever pack you will, but please try not to comment on this factor (:
Check out some videos of this pack in the spoiler!
'Allstar602' has created a very useful review of this texture pack! See it here:
'TheModSpotlight' has made a nice review of the pack! Check it out!
'MinecraftUniverse' has also done a video showing all the blocks, mobs and lots of items!
You know this only takes one filter to make...So why are you using adfly?
This actually required a lot more work than "one filter". You've gotta make sure it doesn't tile, make sure you apply the bevel the right amount, make sure the brightness levels are correct, make sure that the right parts are bevelled in the right way, etc. One texture could take up to 45 minutes to create :I
Thanks for the positive comments, guys! :biggrin.gif:
Traditional beauty is a lot sharper, and has a lot more contrast than my texture pack. I feel like my pack has a much smoother feel, and I personally prefer smooth over sharp. I haven't ripped off TB, but use whichever you like, I don't mind. Just please don't just criticize, and if you do I'd appreciate some suggestions, too. :smile.gif:
Thanks everyone who's given feedback! I have updated the texture pack to include every item up to RC2, all done in the style of the rest of the pack! Enjoy!
You go try that (Made with GIMP > Filters > Map > Bump Map...) and tell me how that works out for you. The actual pack took a hell of a lot more work (:
Unless you're suggesting a bumpmap for this texture pack to work with the GLSL Shaders mod, in which case... I'd love to figure out how to do that D:
I think you need to re-do the gravel and mossy, the gravel looks too... messy. The moss on the cobble isnt dark green enough :smile.gif:
Gravel is supposed to be messy, really... I can't really see how I'm supposed to make it look 'nice' when the original texture is so vile. As for Mossy Cobble... I see where you're coming from. I might change it later! :tongue.gif:
In other news, I added armour! In this picture, you see Chain, Leather and Diamond:

EDIT: Also and you don't have to say that you NEED MCPatcher, because you can also use Optifine, which i actually prefer.

That shouldn't take too long, so I'll see what I can do. Bear in mind that you won't get quite the same effect, though!
EDIT: 32x pack is done and linked in the first post!
It's always such a pleasure.
