Painterly Pack

Unless noted otherwise, all graphics in this pack were edited and created by me. A few textures were generously provided by various individuals and are included in the pack with permission. These individuals are credited under their individual contributions on the web site (www.painterlypack.net). The default paintings are NES sprites, and so belong to whoever made those games, I suppose. 

This pack may be used freely in whole or in part by any owner of Minecraft, and combined with other texture packs, so long as credit is given and no profit or donations are solicited through that person's use of my textures and skins. You don't have to credit me if you use it with your youtube videos or promoting your server or things of that nature, but it's appreciated if you do.

The pack is given away freely, however, donations for the time invested and ongoing development and testing of The Painterly Pack are extremely appreciated. The Donate link can be found on at painterlypack.net, and if you got it from anywhere else, it's not the official source and probably out of date.

Finally, of course, a thank you to Notch for creating such a terribly addictive, endlessly entertaining game!



Directions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Using the built-in utility in the Minecraft game itself, open the minecraft texture folder, and place the Painterly Pack zip into that folder from wherever you've stored it.
2. Select the Painterly Pack from the list of texture packs.
3. Enjoy!

NOTE: If you don't want to use any of the alternate textures, the entire Alternates directory is safe to delete from the archive, to save on filespace.


Custom Water:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you wish to use the custom water utility, then the 3rd party MCPatcher utility is required. The custom water options should be selected and used to modify the game, after which, the custom_water_still.png and custom_water_flowing.png files must manually be moved into the minecraft.jar file. If you do not know how to do this, it is reccomended you do not attempt to use the custom water. I do not support the custom water feature officially, however, the option is there.

As this is unsupported fan-mod software, locating MCPatcher is up to you, and troubleshooting or problems should be directed at the creator of the MCPatcher mod.




Directions for Installing Alternate Features:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does anyone even read this part? It's getting ludicrously unweildy.

I'm going to assume from here on out that if you're actually manually editing in the alternates instead of using the Customizer, then in all probability you have a good idea what you're doing anyways.

All alternate features are their own graphics to make it easier to mix and match them, so you don't have to hack up bigger files piece by piece any more. Everything is in the same location as in the normal skins folder, so it's simply a matter of finding the terrain or graphic you want, and then either splicing it into terrain.png or items.png, or renaming it to the existing file you want to replace and sticking it in the same place as the original.

I tried to name things moderately intuitively, but there's a ton of alternates. Good hunting!


ENJOY!
