With the recent inclusion of a texture pack browser within the Minecraft application, there really should be a forum dedicated to texture packs compatible with it.
I find browsing the Maps and Mods forums very confusing, and trying to find a compatible texture pack is difficult.
If making another forum is impossible, then we need to designate one of the forums as one to post texture packs in, and somehow differentiate them as compatible with the in-game pack browser with some sort of icon or tag (such as [MC TEXTURE PACK]) in the thread title.
Its just due to the fact that Notch hasnt added mod support, and possibly never will. Sadly Notch doesn't agree with mods :sad.gif:.
Wrong wrong wrong. He is planning on adding an API for official mod support. What he doesn't agree with is decompiling and then altering his binary and then redistributing the altered bits. If we had an API from him and all the mods used that API there wouldn't be an issue.
Once we have an API I'm sure the loader will happily load mods that use it.
Yeah Notch isn't anti-mod, it must be a pain for him to think somebody is poking around his ugly unfinished code.
We really need a separate forum for texture packs like we do skins. Mods get on it!
No not lazy, just unfamiliar with the all the nuances of texture packs for minecraft. That's why notch coded an easy system to change texture packs, so people other than the hard-core geeks can do it.
We need somewhere to put the "official" texture packs that are compatible, to differentiate the packs that require separate installers.
With Minecraft's new texture pack capability, I think we could really use a forum or subforum dedicated to compatible texture packs
OR
Some tag, logo, or something showing in the title of threads that indicates its designed for the built-in texture pack functionality in Minecraft
This would make finding compatible texture packs a lot easier.

Why do you want to join?: Notch is working hard on SMP and want to see for myself.
Have you ever been banned?: Nope. Not once in my 29 years of existence.
What else do we need to know about you?: I'm a geek. I build weird gadgets. I have ADHD so I tend to get distra....OOH A CHICKEN!
I won't perpetuate the troll-response cycle by giving you an answer.
The closer we get to Halloween (the reported release date of this update) the more "final" things for the update become, IE the closer we get to release day, the more Notch will know what gets in the update and what doesn't. So any questions we get answered from Notch now are more likely going to reflect the final release. So lets ask Notch the tough questions next!
As for flint and steel, it makes sense, but there isn't anything stopping you from taking down the torch and putting it back up, unless he goes to all the trouble of putting in two seperate states for torches in your inventory (not likely).
It could be done, and it kinda makes sense. If the creeper saw you, and was actively chasing you, and it encountered an obstacle in its way, and couldn't move for x seconds, then it would explode. Would make the creeper way more dangerous to forts and such, as you couldn't just arrow it to death while it sat there.

We use Forge exclusively, and we change mods often.
We also need FTP or some other way to access files often, as we are actively developing LUA code with ComputerCraft.
Looking for servers in the Atlanta/Jacksonville,FL area, or at least the East Coast of USA.
My budget maximum is $30.
Make me an offer! Need advice!

Am I crazy?
Thoughts?

Just keep looking at it! Whatever you do DON'T BLINK!
One of my favorite Dr Who eps.
Would be scary as hell if ghasts worked like that.
But if they don't go through some blocks, whats to stop me from encasing the ghast in sand or dirt while looking at it to keep it from moving?

Didn't know you could mine obsidian. Maybe i'm getting it confused with bedrock.
