Tag: minecraft In this article we take a look at some of the best Minecraft texture packs. There are now hundreds of Minecraft texture packs to download, each one offering someone unique. Some community members create textures to look like games such as Doom and Tron whilst others try to keep it authentic but improve the smoothness of the original textures and create HD versions.
How to install these texture packs
The best way to install texture packs is to use the MCpatcher utility which opens and modifies the jar files for you. It also backs up your original files automatically. It is also possible to use the classic technique of unzipping texture packs and then copying them into the Minecraft,jar file yoruself. See the texture pack instructions for details on installing particular packs.
Best Minecraft Texture Packs
Glimmar's Steampunk
Easily the best Minecraft texture pack (with extras, skins etc). This texture pack contains so much that we could spend all day listing the details. Just to give a little taster, this pack provides enough content for you to create epic sized constructions in the style of Victorian science fiction (steampunk). The textures are very detailed and professionally made. Even the mobs such as Zombie have glowing red eyes and a twisted face. Fantastic!!
Note: It's a 5MB download this one!
