My old favourites: HerrSommer Dye, MeineKraft, Soartex Invictus

An ancient favorite of mine is Aageon's Bumpmaft, started in alpha 1.1, shortly? before the Halloween update and was one of the first 128x packs. Assets were used in other HD packs at the time. Unfortunately the last version for 173 is impossible to find, and the only remnant is a beta 1.4 version.

there was an 8x8 pack i used a lot but i cant find the exact one

Traditional Beauty... It was actually a bit ugly but I used to love it. It was discontinued after 1.8 I think.

@@BabzaiWWP was it pointlet?

I don't think herobrine's mansion used John Smith, I'm pretty sure it used Atherys Ascended

@@randomfluffypup9608 if that was used and not John Smiths, well too bad cuz it looks pretty identical, at least some of the items

@@randomfluffypup9608 This is correct, Herobrine's Mansion used A'therys Ascended. One of my favorite texture packs at the time.

Elaborate?

I'm still using it

Exactly! A good example of "Correlation does not imply causation"

I remember I was punching coal for a pretty long time

@@teamgeist3328I play the Java version so I can play on the old updates

I dont understand why Minecraft🤣 But fortnite is the old school game. Minecraft came after when Pewdiepie played it. All these new kids will never understand Seasons 1-10

I’ve downloaded a few textures for pocket edition so I can relive the game I got years ago, minus old style world and old world generation

Especially the lighting

I never forgot about the Painterly pack SO many wasted hours on that site lol

Honestly it's so easy to start a pack. The only thing keeping me from creating my own is my lack of talent in drawing. I'm great at pixel art but when it comes to natural fades in textures like wood or grass I'm at a total loss.

Nova skin ?

Yeah same here. Been watching some nostalgia videos as of late and got recommended this video. KZfaq knows I miss old minecraft :(

@@iskeptical5698 I think everyone who played Minecraft before 2012 miss the good old alpha/beta days

yeah really lol. my pack is one that i made myself by basically modding faithful 32x, like fonts and music discs and the title screen and stuff. at this point its basically its own pack but its a personal one i dont plan on releasing any time soon. it just looks vanilla but better tbh. combined with complimentary shaders and the physics mod IT LOOKS SO GOOD tho

It's also about the modding scene. You are essentially forced to have blocks and items that fit the feel of the game. When there's 5000+ mods this becomes impossible since most packs are by one person. You would need a big team of developer to accomplish this.

also the vanilla block textures are like really good now. they've worked very hard on making them cohesive and appealing and I think that's indicative of Texture packs decline

@@zepar9837 My texture pack (seen in Minecraft Newbies) was declining in viewership before Jappa's overhaul. The last year it had any relevance on the Internet was 2016 and the most downloaded version of my texture pack is for 1.7.10 followed by v1.12. Also there's many texture packs wanting to go back to pre Microsoft versions due to Microsoft's lack of support for developer textures. These are the factors: 1) The existence of Bedrock Edition which has horrible UI that consists of 1600 textures. This is worth 4 mods. Although uploading UI is optional, I would still prefer to upload a mostly complete pack. 2) More textures in the vanilla game. Although the content of Terraria and even some mods blow vanilla out of water, the barrier to entry for a successful pack that lots of downloads is a lot higher because your competing with packs with Optifine, CTM, cool variant textures, and features usually used in optifine which are not seen in the base game. 3) More options to customize than Painterly Pack (Painterly is even included in lots of mods like Chisel) with the addition of resource packs which allow for way more interesting content than just prettier default or overhauls like SMP's Revival. 4) No conflicts with mod textures in default and even mod textures have improved in making textures due to Jappa's overhaul of the vanilla textures which set a new standard. 5) A need to hustle in the real world as a result of inflation in the housing market causing people to simply not have time for making anything on their spare time. Most projects that take off are made by multiple people, not a single individual and the ones that are made by individuals take longer to make. 6) Microsoft pulling stunts like Chat Reporting which create distrust in the community.

I think another reason is that this was around the time they got renamed from texture packs to recourse packs. I would like to see a graph of "textures" and "recourse" combined and normalized. I think the graph would look smoother and higher for texture/recourse packs.

I never saw a texture pack clash a mod. I think mods are still part of the problem as it is impossible that every mod supports every texture pack and reversed. Leaving vanilla styled 16bit mod items and blocks mixed into a better looking high resolution world. So it's better to have a uniform look than to have some parts high res. Back in 1.7.10 where sphax supported 70% of my mod pack I simply mangled together the remaining 30% and got 100% coverage pretty easily. Nowadays that would be as much work as building an entire vanilla pack.

ill never forget the forums dedicated to mod patches

Yeah, there's just _way_ more textures to cover than there used to be.

texture packs take some getting use to which turn some people off. people these days would much rather run shaders to spice up their game than to use textures that they're not used to. Plus more people can run them now compared to before

@@bltelysianthe bdcraft forum still does it

Goated texture pack. Not enough people talk about that one.

I had that one years ago. It’s realistic without lagging your computer. That’s what I’ve always liked about 64x64 packs.

I remember I stalling the HD patcher to get the 64x64 working for misas

john smith legacy is the only pack i use

I was going to comment about this! I associate it with him almost exclusively. I love that pack sm.

Still the same texture pack I use to this day. I don't play much at all anymore but every single time I boot up MC, I always have to have John Smiths texture pack. I love how it darkens the textures of the game compared to the normal textures. I don't see normal Minecraft as how it is, I see it was John Smiths Minecraft

Was it Last Days?

I remember that pack, it was also originally created by Doku

I think there was one called "The End is Nigh"

Loved that pack, had wonderful textures to base a pvp pack from as well back then. Like Hotdogcraft pvp pack did that and did it well. Miss the old days!

Btw, did you know "joli" is French for pretty? no wonder it's such a nice and pretty pack lol

It's still my favorite texture pack today, I love it so much !

Same here..

Damn, yeah. That was the first texture pack I ever used. When even installing texture packs sometimes threw errors.

really good pack, its the only old "realistic" one left. only sad thing is that some of the newer guis haven't been updated, and villagers scalps are somewhat.. detached

I remembered who you were the second I saw your name! Nice to see you're still around Apachey, the current contributors and I see your classic watermark all the time lol thank you for all your work! Small world running into this video and its comments

Where can I find and download?

I love Unity. It looks close enough to vanilla to not be deceiving, and it's pretty much the only texture set (vanilla included) that doesn't make my eyes bleed after a while.

Meine Kraft should be on this list, but it was never really popular outside of the german speaking community :(

@@oneandonlynino true. I saw some english speaking people using it in late 2012/13 but never again after that because of PureBDcrafts rise

@@Siggmann oh didn't know that. Only knew about it from Gronkh's and Honeyball's Let's Plays

@@oneandonlynino I personally use it up until this day to honor it

@@Siggmann when I think of minecraft I imagine it with these textures... Ist einfach kultig

Mojang? Optimize? what is this witchcraft you speak of

@@PaladinRyan Maybe not mojang but sodium team or optifine they have amazing optimized pipeline like optifine and mc patcher have light maps color maps and more also you have bloom shaders dof shaders and more becuse of fabulously shaders mojang added in 1.16.5 like you can build a medium-end "shader" pack out of it but still its so laggy i don't recommend it : P

And a texture pack I think the yogcast used but I forgot the name

@@pulo4790 its called pure bdcraft

@@ZooAxelGaming007yess I just watched in the video thanks man
