How do you make a texture pack?

[Richard Longflop]

I want to make one, but I don't even know where to start. Could any of you guys lend me a hand here?

EDIT: It's ok now, I'm making one: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1066453-I-m-making-a-texture-pack-WafflePack[/url]

extract the terrain.png from minecraft.jar and start editing the pixels!
most of the folders inside minecraft.jar also have editable textures inside them.
i'm sure theres a more detailed guide somewhere, but if you need help with things like packaging you can ask me/pm me.

It's pretty simple, much like a custom skin but on a larger scale. Good luck!

Just edit the .png files in the minecraft.jar file. You can enlarge the file from 16px/block to 32, 64, etc for higher resolution.

Keep in mind, the textures look a lot better in the style they are now. I haven't seen a single good high-detailed texture pack to date. If there is one, could somebody point it my way?

32x32 4 lyfe. I find most texture maps aren't able to make good enough use of the 16x16 space they're given.

These two are my favourite 32x32 texture packs.

What about getting a texture pack- already packed- extract it and edit it? could that work?

Yeah, just look into the .zip file and it should be pretty easy to figure out

gerudoku is the best imo

What would you have to do after you've done all of the editing to make it work. I mean, do you have to make the background transparent after you're done so the flowers and glass work right?

It's all ok now, I'm making one.
