Hello there, and thanks for clicking this thread! I always wanted Minecraft to be a little bit more modern without having too much stuff edited with it, so that's exactly what my goal is with this texture pack. I haven't done much so far, but suggestions from you guys are what is going to make this thing a lot better. Maybe I'll even upgrade to a 32x version if I have time.
Also, to try and give you a more "modern" experience I'll include furniture tutorials to make your houses look as legit as possible. :wink.gif:

Anyway, you're probably asking at this point what I've made "modern" so far. Well, here's a list of what has changed so far with screenshots below.
- More see-through room on glass
- Magenta Wool is now Off-White/Tan (lots of carpets are that color from what I've seen)
- 2 of the paintings have been changed to resemble an HDTV and a flatscreen computer monitor
- The tops of Sandstone are re-textured to look like Linoleum
- Doors do not have windows in them (neither do the doors in your house, most likely)
- Furnaces look more like modern ovens
- Cobblestone is more brick-like
- Lapis blocks are more similar to the Iron/Gold/Diamond blocks
- Pistons are re-textured to look like tables (see Furniture Tutorials)
- Small chests are now drawers; large chests are now a drawer on top and a cabinet on the bottom
- Glowstone is a bit more "scattered" (more gravel-like vs. cobblestone-like)
- Netherrack is darker

Furniture Tutorials
Chairs: Chairs are pretty simple, all you need to do is put a sign on both sides of a wooden stair block - at least that's how I make chairs.
Tables: There are a couple of options for tables. One is a blocky table (or you can just say it has a table cloth on it) which is obviously just a few blocks, or you can make a piston table like this.
Okay, so that's not exactly how it looks... Pretend that the wood is your floor, the brick is a piston (facing up), and the torches are redstone torches. That way you'll be using an extended piston as a table - looks pretty cool since it has space under it!
- Modern ceilings/walls (these will probably be edits of wool)
- More electronics
- Darker stone slabs?
- Kitchen/bathroom appliances (sinks, etc.)?
As for right now, though, I'm really just looking for suggestions and feedback, so please tell me what you think of the pack and then suggest something that I should do! :smile.gif:
Looking good so far. Will this be just one of those "change something here and there" texture packs? Or are you planning on retexturing everything? Good work so far

I'm not really actually sure to be quite honest, I just had a few ideas in the shower this morning and made this. :tongue.gif: I'll probably decide what it's going to be based on how many ideas I get.
This is actually a really good idea. However the glass shouldnt have a cobble texture, some people use wood to build too.
Thanks, and I kind of thought that as well. It was just a random thing I did to make the glass clearer but I wasn't exactly sure what to do for the outline. Any suggestions? I'll have the glass changed next time I upload, most likely.
