Misa,
Just for old times sake you should update your pack. Who knows you might even get back into minecraft. for about a year and a half now I have been making my own custom resource pack (that I never plan to make public) and it was heavily inspired by you and Scuttles who made the LB photo realistic pack. To0 this day I still use quite a few of your textures and some of the textures from the many patches that have been inspired by your talented work. Plus an added bonus of you updating your pack is tons of happy fans. Tons of happy fans means you should no longer get more messages about updating the pack. You will no longer have to answer those update requests thus freeing up more time in your life. I urge you to seriously consider updating your resource pack. You have a talent for making minecraft textures why hide it?
I'm glad you like and have been inspired by my old work. Having good fans when my pack was active really helped me out through some tough times in my life. However I'm sorry to disappoint, but updating the pack is probably not going to happen for many reasons:
-MCPatcher (which my pack was developed alongside of) is dead. Many of the features I was in progress of working on (and helping to design) are now unusable on the current version of the game and unsupported by Optifine.
-I work more than 40 hours a week at a very stressful and brain-numbing job. The thought of working even more than I already do for something that won't help pay the bills or replace the need for my actual job is unpleasant.
-I don't play Minecraft anymore, and if I felt like playing or modding something like it, I'd just go with Space Engineers or Medieval Engineers instead. Its developers are much more technically competent and their product is already more polished than Minecraft despite still being in Early Access.
-Working on the pack was a full-time job when I kept it regularly updated. It would do the exact opposite of freeing up time. At times I stayed up longer than 48 hours on patch days to finish my updates and provide live troubleshooting and quick fixes. I would eventually go to bed actually hallucinating.
-I don't get many people sending me messages to update the pack anymore. You'd be the first one I can even recall from this year. I think 'tons' of fans is a bit blown out of proportion. I peaked several years ago.
-My talent for making Minecraft textures may currently be overstated. I've not done much work with art in years, and as far as my knowledge of putting together a pack goes, most of that has been completely forgotten and obfuscated further by Mojang's repeated changes to the formatting. At this point, I honestly wouldn't even know where to begin if I were to start up my image editor and open my Minecraft working folders.
Hi Misa, for what it's worth I'm a long time fan, I can happily say your 64x pack was among the first that I tried and it spoiled me for all of the other texture packs. Even though I preferred Optifine to MCPatcher I would often try to tackle the process of trying to get them to play nice together just to be able to use your textures fully- eventually I even learned enough to tweak your texture pack to mostly get it to work with Optifine, CTM and all. Worst of all I would edit, stretch and pull the textures through a grinder to spoof 64x textures for mods I used, namely IC2 back in the day.
What you made worked for me, and I'm sad that the work that you put into both the texturepack and into MCP were constantly thwarted and scattered by the incompetence of Mojang. Same reason most of us left, given the amount of mods (aesthetic or otherwise) that were broken per patch, the weak content added to "compensate" for the difficulty incurred and just generally the lack of support in overcoming the minor edits that broke so much.
Anywho, thank you for the content that you contributed and continued to work on for little thanks and more strain. I never released any of my edits or from-scratch textures, and I greatly appreciate that you decided to release your private work for us little people.
I wish you good luck and fortune in your endeavours.
I just wanted to say, Thank You Misa for the years of pleasure you've brought to my minecraft. If it wasn't for your textures, I probably would have stopped playing years ago or at least have been more grumpier than usual.
-I don't get many people sending me messages to update the pack anymore. You'd be the first one I can even recall from this year. I think 'tons' of fans is a bit blown out of proportion. I peaked several years ago.

You'd be surprised! I think there are a lot of us lurkers that prefer your pack over everything else out there. Everything. I've played minecraft on and off for years, and - every. single. time. - I come back and the first think I do is insert your pack into whatever 64x pack I'm using for the latest version. Nothing compares.
Time consuming, yes...
...Totally worth it just the same.
Edit: A history of some of the pretty I've accomplished due to this pack. Many were taken to report one bug or another, but everything looks good even when doing what it's not supposed to!
Maybe a bit of inspiration in there somewhere that does your beautiful textures justice. Like I said, nothing comes close when compared to yours.

We wholeheartedly support you any way Misa!
For one, I really, really love how your textures fit really greatly with the default pack, as I tend to get confused for a bit whenever I use a new texture pack. but when I used your texture pack, I immediately knew that 'holy balls, i don't even need to recheck what this item is'. every detail, every mobs, everything you made was great, and I don't overstate my opinions. they are great. This easily falls into my 'Legendary' texture pack, for as long as I can remember playing minecraft.
I really thank you for creating this amazing texture pack, and I wish you well on your new-albeit brain numbing job.
I haven't commented here in a while... I miss this texture (resource) pack. Here and there I've tried others, but, for me, it's either vanilla textures or this.
I've been a fan for years and years. Is this texture pack getting ported to the new Windows 10 edition, which Microsoft has said is the only one getting updated, sooner or later? I could only find a few terrible packs for that and I wish I could use this one.
I'd just go with Space Engineers or Medieval Engineers instead. Its developers are much more technically competent and their product is already more polished than Minecraft despite still being in Early Access.
Sorry this post editor is extremely confusing, but thanks for suggesting Space Engineers, it's pretty fun. I'm not sure I'd call it polished though, it's very user unfriendly in its current state and many things in the game have nothing explaining how they work or what they do. I'm still having fun with it though. But yeah I dunno about Minecraft, ever since the beta 1.8 update its felt pretty downhill. I really wish they would just remove hunger and the weird combat changes, I liked Minecraft a lot more when it was simple and wasn't trying to bleed over into being an RPG or whatever. (Or maybe I'm just burnt out on Minecraft and looking at the old versions through nostalgia goggles)
"-I don't get many people sending me messages to update the pack anymore. You'd be the first one I can even recall from this year. I think 'tons' of fans is a bit blown out of proportion. I peaked several years ago."
I don't post here or send messages, but I basically stopped playing Minecraft when you stopped updating this pack. I understand that you're busy and have better things to do with your life, but you do still have fans even if they're not saying anything.
"-My talent for making Minecraft textures may currently be overstated."
I've yet to find a good replacement. Many of the high res packs that are around pay no attention to making sure that the textures play nice with each other, they just make super high res textures and that's it, nothing works together and it just ends up annoying me. Maybe I'm just picky though. The best replacement I've found is 'Lithos' but honestly it just doesn't do it for me the way Misa's Realistic did. (And yes I know this pack is being unofficially updated but it's not the same)

Agreeing with Darkone on this. I don't leave posts behind but I do check this forum every month or so hoping new life will blossom in this TP. My all time favorite textures for Minecraft come out of Misa's hands.

Your talent is probably understated, if anything, Misa. I'm going to echo a fairly common sentiment and say that I've yet to find a texture pack that strikes the right blend of realistic and still working aesthetically in the blocky repetitive world...whatever that's worth at this point since you've moved on.
The "Lithos" tip is a good one for me. I know this pack is being patched but the pace is too slow for my tastes so I've been actively looking for others ever since it became obvious Misa was done, and I have a hard time even finding similar-looking packs. So I propose, might a good use of this forum going forward to be resource packs others are using that they feel are similar to Misa's? Obviously everyone has their own opinion on "similar" but maybe the diversity of response will ultimately be good.
Or maybe I'm just too dumb to figure out how to find a decent texture pack without being inundated with rip-off/clones, or cartoony ones. Anyway, I'd love more Misapack Lover's ideas.
I'm not good in English, maybe would someone translate this post in the future
Hey Misa,
nach all den Jahren, jetzt sind es ja schon sechs, mit deinem Texture Pack, wollte ich einfach mal danke sagen. Danke für die wunderschöne Zeit, die du mir, vor dem PC, geschenkt hast. Danke für all die schönen Erinnerungen die mir geblieben sind. Danke für dieses wunderschöne Texture Pack.
Ich habe es das erste mal bei dem deutschen Youtuber "Gronkh" gesehen und war sofort begeistert. Damals war es für mich sehr schwierig heraus zu finden, wie ich denn Texture Packs installiere. Später als dann immer mehr Features dazu kamen wollte ich kein anderes Pack mehr benutzen. Es war, und ist immer noch, mein absolutes lieblings Pack.
Als ich dann erfahren habe, dass das Texture Pack nicht mehr geuptated wird, und zur gleichen Zeit Gronkh auch noch mit seinem Let's Show aufgehört hat, war ich am Boden zerstört. So ein schönes Projekt hin zu werfen muss sicher einiges an Überwindung gekostet haben.
Klar hab ich dann irgendwann von Les gehört, aber es fühlte sich einfach nicht echt an so weiter zu spielen. Auch nachdem du gesagt hast, was du noch alles mit dem Texture Pack vor hattest, war es einfach nicht mehr das selbe.
In diesem Sinne möchte ich einfach für alles was du getan danke sagen. Es war eine wunderschöne Reise mit deinem Texture Pack.
Machs gut alter Freund.
Vielleicht sieht man sich irgendwann wieder.

Helping hand on Misa's server (<- Link) Check by for the latest updates to Misa's Resource Pack!
I noticed last week that the new explorer maps didn't work with Misa's texture pack, the symbols of the mansion or ocean temple didn't show. I tried several other texture packs, but none were satisfactory. I ended up adding the missing symbols to the texture pack myself, so I could continue to use it. :-)
Nah, that again was directed to all recent users of this thread, bceause I told Bidjiguks he might offer his polar bears to Les

Sounds like you're unhappy. Change is inevitable sorry to say.

You may ask in Les' Patch for Misa's Resource pack , that patch is at least for Minecraft 1.10 (but sadly not for 1.11)
Looking good, thanks for helping to fill in the gaps
Keep up the good work
