I am creating a Minecraft texture pack and I would like some ideas as for how to design things.
It's industrial/steampunk themed, so I'm going for that feel.
Specs:
32x32
Any colors.
I am just looking for some creative ideas.
I will credit any owners of ideas I use and ones not in a text file included when downloaded.

I incorporated the pipes and gauges with the crate of TNT as mentioned by supersnail11 and latin_geek.
For the sandstone, I went for an Egyptian theme for two main reasons:
1. There isn't much sand to work with in steampunk
2. I really wanted it to have heiroglyphs.
I think, even though it's steampunk, the Egyptian sandstone works well with the overall feel.

(The heiroglyphs are real. They spell words if you can figure out which symbols they are. All those damn bird ones are hard to make different at 5px high.)

Is it just me or do those bricks look incredibly impractical and dangerous from a realistic point of view?
Yes, yes they do.
Its all in the aesthetics. :D
The bricks need more gears.
I like all of them. And I do think the Egyptian style sandstone does go with the steampunk feel.
I am making the jukebox next. Any suggestions?
Gramophone.

As Jacko said, a gramophone or an old fashion radio wtih a side of it opened up so you can see the gears/wires.
Yes, I was thinking this but there are some limitations in the fact that it is a cube. I'd have to work out the speaker in flat form.
Not too much of a problem though.
Make the bow a giant blunderbuss that fires a big ball of steel.
Considering... Considering...
Make every thing that you can craft in-game machine like.
also be careful not to make it too much like:

But its up to you.
All I've done is point out the obvious.
And put more machine into the brick... somehow.
Isn't there already like 5 steampunk packs?
Your point is...
[QUOTE=Brain Tumor;28323450]Your point is...[/QUOTE]
My point is, is that its been done before and it will probably end up abandon or very unoriginal and generic.

A theme doesn't make something generic. A style does.
A well-stylized, new steampunk pack will get along fine. Another bland rehash steampunk pack will not.
You could Make the Bow into a Blunderbluss.
And make the Note Block a Metallic Gramyphone like Estream said.
And Make arrows into Impractical giant bullets.
Finally a good steampunk pack! The other one is overly realistic and terrible!

I made a huge factory with the paintings included in that pack and then switched to the Default textures and it looked fucking horrible.
Your sandstone says "Brain Tumor".

That jukebox :gizz: Keep it up man, this pack looks great so far its gonna go great with my skin [img_thumb]http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd140/johnlmonkey/Steampunkme-1.png?t=1298944516[/img_thumb]
I can't wait for this pack.
Which block are you gonna work on next?
I don't know. I'm thinking about the doors and how to make them interesting and yet not too crazy intricate. I kind of thought about a gear style lock thing on the iron one.
Also thank you, thank you, thank you for all the feedback. People liking this keeps me interested in continuing. :D
You're doing great at giving a lighter feel to steampunk.
The reason I don't use Glimmar's is because it's way too fucking dark. Keep it light and I'll definitely give it a try.
You know, like JoliCraft.
I do agree. Steampunk is traditionally more dark-themed and I really love that, but in this I am striving for more of the light, uplifting Minecraft feel with the gadgetry of steampunk.
Didn't your other thread get locked?
My main problem with texture packs is that they're normally dark, so..you know...
don't make yours too dark.
And now...
Here by popular demand...
[b]THE BLUNDERBUSS![/b]
The blunderbuss replaces the bow, and as of now still shoots arrows :D.
A big metal ball bullet will not work as the image is long and thin, but don't worry as blunderbusses could shoot anything that you could fit down the barrel!
I'll get a steampunk arrow-bullet working soon.
