Alright. Will do. thanks for the info. And I expected the pack to be a jumbled mess anyways lol.

One problem: YOU didn't make those texture. Mojang did. You just recolored them a little bit.

Mojang's One Big Rule has always been: "Do not redistribute anything we have made." Under Derivative Works law, recoloring someone else's work in a rote way does NOT make it a unique work and thus ownership stays with Mojang.

It's frankly a big galling to say this is a "community" pack when you start out by stealing textures from the company that got this community going. Particularly since those are all early textures, so you're ripping off Notch himself. Regardless of what you think of the man or the company he started, that's not a very nice thing to do.

When YOU have actually made something that didn't require you stealing from someone else let me know. Until then, this is going to be a big, huge, gigantic NOPE for anyone who cares even a little about originality and artistic integrity.

Sounds good.

So for starters, let's see the texture's that YOU are contributing to this project. After all, the rest of us will need to match your style or the pack will just be a mess. If you want this to happen, you're going to have to lead the charge!

Oh, and I strongly suggest raising the limit. Assuming that anyone will contribute at all, there are around 800 textures in vanilla alone. I doubt there are anywhere near 80 active pack artists in this community much less ones that are willing to contribute to a project like this when they have their own packs to work on. Nothing personal, but this doesn't seem well thought out.
