"Blah blah blah technical crap that was unneeded to extend my argument"

Here, shortened if for ya:

"In my opinion, I think you are wrong. I THINK from my study that lower colours and res increase FPS due to optimisation, then some stuff about the EULA which had jack squat to do with this. Brotha."

My turn.

Simple packs do not increase FPS. It is proven. Your "evidence" is wrong. 8x8's do not either. I would test my facts again but I am not at my PC.


Back to the colors on a deeper level, writing on my phone, fun.

Colors are colors. All of them are based on the same RBG scale. Noise is just color too. Decreasing color does nothing as the color is still there. You still have all the browns and blues in your texturepack to nothing will change, performance is not effected by performance. If I went and made a quick pack where all colors are in each block (red shifts in one, blue in another, etc) I would find no performance loss. If I made the pack 32x32 so I could fit more color in, I would get a slight FPS drop though. That would not be due to the color either, that would be due to the res. You are mistaken something that isn't real for something that is. Color doesn't effect FPS, your studies are wrong.

And next time you wanna explain something speak to the person like they are a 5 year old, not everyone understands what PNG, JPEG and a good few things are. Just a tip.


Alright, so basically you're explaining that image-loading performance in any programming language is not of any matter? Then how come when you're on the internet (depending on UL/DL speed) it takes a matter of a few seconds to a few minutes (Dial-Up) to load said image? And honestly, I can only speak in "technical" because I would never want to stoop down to anyone's level including yours. If I had to do so, I would have been the author of Javascript for Dummies, etc... And as for the colours, I never claimed that "only specific colours affect FPS," no. I said for each block, you have a 16x16 pixel canvas. You have 256 colors to choose from. However, the closer you get to that number (let's say you've chose high numbers CLOSE to 256 for EACH block), the FPS will increase. There are multiple factors as to what can cause an FPS drop:

1. Hardware/Software is either low-grade or out-of-date.
2. Too many programs currently active that suck down RAM/CPU.
3. Using too many mods in one game (that adds a wider-range of blocks that are obviously not in vanilla Minecraft).

You're right on the resolution part, where the claim made was for texture packs either 8x8 or 16x16, they don't naturally affect the FPS, as for textures that are UltraLowRes (1x1 or 4x4: Needs a mod in order to use them correctly!) which increases FPS (proven) or higher than 32x32 that would still then require MCPatcher (proven to decrease FPS). That goes back to my statement about the more pixels [in a block's texture image], the decrease in FPS and/or RAM. Simply put, those who play Minecraft on computers with lesser than 2GB of Ram (1.75GB useable), they will notice a sliiiight difference with the actual performance in the game. The current and most recently updated Minecraft client requires 2GB of RAM, including Java 6 Release 45. Anything lower than that, the client will try to compromise with the computer, maybe needing OptiFine mod to finer-tune the graphics so its GPU will then try its best to compromise with the CPU. And who knows, I never mentioned that Sharp Design was good for Survival Mode, but maybe Multiplayer? Once you enter another player's server, you have to download the map. And from thereon, you download each block, having to go back to your IP to simply grab individual textures in your %appdata%/.minecraft/resourcepacks/.../textures/blocks/ folder. But who knows? Maybe it works for both? Surely it has!

Plus, I know for a fact that you haven't "tested" your facts, simply because your facts came straight from nowhere. You have not yet proven your statement; I have thought, brought it to paper, created, debugged and tested Minecraft numerous of times. My claims are correct, not trying to sound egotistical or in my own favor. I understand what it is you're trying to say, but perhaps maybe you're not getting my point? However, I've actually had more texture pack tested numerous times for FPS increase. This pack is simply to compromise ones RAM when they're lacking thereof. This doesn't "instantly" increase FPS for everyone. I might or might have not said that; if I did, then I do apologize for saying that. That wasn't a claim I would have naturally made myself.

And one more thing, the more you respond to my post with a quote, you simply add another link to my texture pack, basically advertising for me already! <3 thank yooou c:

I can go deeper too.

Java-based applets require all sorts of rendering during display of it's backroom (strands of coding). Albeit the default rendering is at 16x16, it honestly makes no difference. Minecraft is set with a certain requirement to run the program considering the amount of coding and random-generation, then what is IN that random generation is it's default pack. It takes X amount of time (depending on specs) to load said images displayed as random-generation (given the size of bytes each block/file has), and will use X amount of bytes in the RAM to load that image. If you lower the res, the ram used will lower as well. Minecraft.exe comes with basic necessities to load it, but there is ALWAYS room for optimization. If Minecraft is a sandbox game, thus it is a customizable game. And where there is public-ability to make customizations without affecting the EULA/Terms of Use, there is room for any type of optimizations. But of course, it must remain within the walls of the game, you cannot make it so different to the point where it's considered a whole new game (which in legal terms, it's referred as an illegal-remix). Images saved as certain file extensions like JPEG (performance, not quality) or PNG-8 or PNG-24 are used for Minecraft texture packs (or are suggested, simply because it increases FPS/decreases ETA for image-rendering). Lesser the colors Minecraft has to display, the lesser work it has to mock up, therefore leaving room for other things to load, supporting the reason that Sharp Design is perfect for being an FPS-optimizing texture pack, while still leaving a similar feel to the default pack. I've been in the programming business for 4 years, I understand how these things work

As goes for advertising? Who cares that I don't care, you're SUPPOSED to do that. How do you think you get views/downloads? That's one of the many ways I've done that back before Sharp Design first got removed, yielding 200K downloads and 500K+ views. I'm not making any argument of this, I simply reviewed your comment, and spoke against it in an adult-like manner. Think smart, not hard brotha. Cheers!

When posts on any site are scanned by robots.txt and scripts of so on, they appear on Google and pull up topics related to the new useful implementation of the hashtag in HTML5 and CSS3. Hashtags are popular on FB, Twitter, Instagram and are linked automatically, unlike other sites to where 3rd-party SSE scripts do the trick. This is also subliminally suggesting for this site to start marketing Hashtag use on their site, because it will allow more traffic-flow and filtered ad-feed, increasing the site's popularity on a whole other spectrum.

As for the calling an adult thing, around my area, it's most useful to call an adult because people of profession (in the schooling environment) take their jobs seriously, they're not the low-paid stupid and ignorant teachers/deans/etc... but I do have to agree that most of the time it's useless, but it's best in nature to get as many witnesses as possible, no matter who sides with who. Totally agree with you on that. It really is the best to grow some grapes and stand up for yourself. But this post is more for those who are starting to experience bullying and don't quite have enough encouragement and willpower to stand up for what they believe in. Like working out, strength is built-up.

Skip to 1:10.

Also, it's been 6 years. It's also not the anniversary. Why are you remembering this? Are you remembering this because it's trending and you want to be seen as more compassionate than your friends?


It wasn't necessarily the anniversary that I've posted about it, because that was August 2nd. And I'm actually caring about touchy topics like this, no matter if it's trending or not. Just because it's trending, doesn't mean the person who is being remembered shall not remain forgotten, that's the wrong viewpoint you'd ever want to achieve. As goes for the apparent "desire to appear more compassionate than my friends," honestly that kind of comment is played out too much in the internet world. I'm a Buddhist (not a monk, not THAT devoted lol). And as for being a Buddhist, I've discovered that I'm an Empath; basically those who get very emotional when they hear/speak/see any sort of violence and can have their moods easily influenced when around people who are in some sort of negative mood (sadness, depression, etc...) I'd like to think that I'm a very compassionate person, there's no need to make it a some sort of sport, though that would be lovely because then people will actually be doing something useful for this world lol.

All-and-all, this is a very serious topic, and was hoping to reel in some people to get some sort of advice for whenever they're placed in that predicament. It's not the best advice, but it helps a bit. We don't need to further pursue arguments or express strong-opinions about violence. In my perspective, violence is only needed for when you're in complete danger: Someone's armed with weapons, you're cornered/alone. Other than that, it's simple to call for backup and/or walk away from the situation. People learn to do those kinds of things when they give themselves the chance to build up encouragement and strength.

I can definitely tell you that your FPS will increase once you install the Sharp Design texture pack. I know it sounds like I'm just promoting and blah blah blah, but in all seriousness, that's why I've made that pack! You see, the default texture pack has lots of noise/colours, whereas Sharp Design is the same exact thing as the default texture pack, but cleaner. Lesser the colors to load, the more CPU/GPU being sent to your Java applet/Game <3 Seriously, give it a try! Do some technical tests if you will.

Thank you, I appreciate it! And what got removed, I believe, were the comments this one person made about how they were against people making "peace signs" with their fingers.. and mocking them saying that those people think "they are cool" and stuff. Some of my comments were removed which were in direct to that person, stating that people who make peace signs is their prerogative; and that he has his opinions, but keep them to himself.

@Lycandar & @Palaeos: Those are great ideas! Not only supervising suspicious activity on PlanetMinecraft is important, but tidying up is needed as well; in certain areas. And Palaeos, being on the hunt for suspicious activity and flagging things are need to be done correctly and carefully, thank you also!
