I’ve been installing texture packs on and off for a while now when playing Minecraft, but this one is definitely going into the library for regular use: Via IndieGames, we have Scribblecraft, the hand-drawn texture pack. It’s lovely. Full of colour and character, while still getting across all the necessary information. It uses the HD texture fix, too, of course. Illustrative informational video below!
There will probably be no other Minecraft posts today. Carry on!
Needs more cell shading

I think I speak eloquently for the masses when I say DO WANT

Ahaha, awesome. I really should play Minecraft again now.

Excellent.

That’s something special. I’ll have to give that a try.

Still haven’t found a pack I like yet…

Have you seen the super-cool Painterly Pack Customization page?
http://painterlypack.net/customizer.php
It lets you pick and choose from among hundreds of individual textures to customize the look of Minecraft, all in the default 16×16 resolution, and then spits out a zip file all ready to plug-and-play.
Other great 16×16 texture packs include LAR’s (http://www.largames.com/lartexture), Eld’s (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=37621), the AxePack (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=51657), and the Bright Cleanse Pack (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=103131) which uses all-solid colors to make Minecraft really look like plastic LEGOs.
At 32×32, my favorites are JohnSmith’s Pack (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=29164), Navarre’s (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=64729), and Shiny’s (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=68333)
And for very-high res, Misa’s (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=73861) is one of the best. I also like cferrill’s (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=67932).

I use I modified version of the Gerdoku texture pack (32×32), mixing it up with a little bit of Painterly and other art I found (the biggest difference is replacing Doku’s cobblestone with Painterly’s ‘light brick’) .
You can get it from here
report
Eld’s is my personal fave.
report
I’m a huge fan of Frenden’s pack.
Simple. Great design.

Thank you very much for the texture pack links, Urthman!
I’ve been using the Doku (and now GeruDoku) pack, but Misa’s is so astonishing that I might actually try switching.
report
The flowers look brilliant, the water is nice too.
report
As much as I like the look of this one I keep going back to the original textures. They just have a charm to them which makes it difficult to use anything else.
report
I think it would be better if the cracks when mining a block actually followed on from each other instead of changing all the time, it just looks a bit odd. But a beautiful pack, make no mistake. Just needs some animals and player skins in the same style.
report
I agree it’d be a little nicer if the cracks start in the centre & then increase across the block. It doesn’t look far off from that already though.
The animals do jar a little still being the default models in the video but I guess it’s a work in progress.
report
Yeah, that’s weird. I’ve seen at least a dozen variations on the cracks animation and this is the only one that wandered around like that instead of just making the same cracks get steadily larger.
(That solid color pack I linked to has a very cool animation that’s hard to describe — like the block is being deleted instead of broken.)
report
I love the tic tac toe on the workbench.
report
Absolutely lovely. I might just fire up minecraft and give this a try.
report
I think lovely is about the only appropriate way to describe that.
report
Cant stand to play with the standard graphics nowadays and one of the updates seemed to break all the texture packs I have been using so I haven’t played in about a month. I also kind of ran out of ideas, built my water slide, built my floating island, built a big underwater complex and a big lava lamp, this looks very nice though so I might try to install it just to see what everything looks like.
report
I would also like to say thank you for the links to the forums I haven’t been on in a while and what is the first thing that comes up, someone is remaking Nos Astra from mass effect 2! some people just do amazing things with this game.
report
Time to start playing multiplayer then. :)
report
I am looking forward for the Tron texture a dude is making.
report
Trone texture? That sounds awesome, but I’m sceptical. To make Minecraft look like Tron, he would have to change more than textures. I fear that it will be a bunch of grey blocks with coloured, neon borders. :/
report
Are you talking about this?
report
I wish servers could initiate a download to the client and set a texture pack for everyone who joins. It would really serve to differentiate between worlds, and would sidestep my biggest problem with these packs right now, namely: who cares what my creations look like to me in a multiplayer game?
report
Wow, this might actually get me playing again. For a short while, anyway.
Too bad the animals aren’t hand-drawn too =(
report
That looks awesome!
report
I always wanted to exchange the simplistic textures of Minecraft with even worse ones.
report
so smart post
report
Excuse me, but your water looks like Listerine.
report
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for pointing this one out!
report
It’s not a style of texture pack I like or would use myself but I can see that is very well done, I just don’t like the style itself.
report
A “HD” texture pack for minecraft that actually uses it’s resolution for something meaningful?
I must say that i’m intrigued. It looks pretty amazing, I may have to bid farewell to the idea that the texture packs bigger than 16×16 are cop outs.
report
ugh. Seriously? IMO This looks utterly appalling.
its not even particularly well done, the colours are horrible.. its just .. lazy crap. Theres no charm.
its like the rash of ‘doodle’ games on iphone.. ugly
Personally I like the Doku RPG texture pack. Clean, nice palette (similar to snes zelda), consistent in embracing the 8-bit stylings of Minecraft.

report
How do I install this? They didn’t exactly optimize it for the new texture menu. It doesn’t even show up.
report
It’s the bad graphics on Minecraft that kept me from ever playing it, so this would get me much closer to trying it.
report
Wow. Just wow dude.
report
This is really pretty. I like the pale sand very much.
report
This is lovely but it kills my framerate.
