Are you tired of all the "round edges" in Minecraft? Are you sick of the crazy angles and incongruent side lengths? If so, then this is the pack for you! Pack of Squares tries hard to give everything in Minecraft four parallel sides and four 90 degree angles. Everything you can imagine has been transformed into a quadrilateral, from the bubbles you see when you jump into the water, to the sun and moon in the now rectangular clock. Pack of Squares introduces you to a slightly more colorful environment, and may confuse you as to what items are which, since they are all the same shape.

I recommend using MCPatcher. It's pretty boss. The texture pack looks fine without it, but MCPatcher makes it, like, 8 times better.

This is my first texture pack, so I'm desperate for feedback. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong or give me ideas on how to improve on the texture pack. Also, and this could potentially be the most important detail so far, tell me if this paragraph seems to long, because as I'm writing it, I kind of feel like it is... I don't know. I feel like I'm rambling on about something people just don't care about. I'm trying to think of how long most people's descriptions are. I guess it's not so bad, but it still seems like it's longer than it needs to be...

Warning: May include some rectangles.

Update #14 : 08/07/2012 5:53:04 pm8/07/12

Added a skin for Endermen. (It's the guy they're based off of.)
Am starting to work on water and lava. It doesn't seem very hard, but I'm lazy and probably won't work very much on it.

Update #13 : 05/31/2012 7:01:49 pm5/31/12

The snapshot update this week (12w22a I think) is amazing, and I have updated the texture pack for it.
Emerald Block
Tripwires
Updated trading screen and creative inventory (again, sorry if you don't have the snapshot and it looks weird for you)
Noticed the symbols that tell you what status affects you have didn't have many quadrilaterals. I fixed that.

Update #12 : 05/28/2012 10:42:03 pm5/28/12

Very small update. Just had an idea. If you're not using a custom skin or you're offline, you will now play as Square-Man! I'll also upload Square-Man's skin separately in case someone wants to use it without Pack of Squares for whatever reason.

Update #11 : 05/25/2012 9:11:13 pm5/25/12

As it turns out, I forgot some things last update, but they're there now along with some new stuff from the even MORE recent pre-release.
Book and Quill/Book
Ender-Chest
Emerald Ore
Emerald-also put in the thing that looks like a ruby, but it doesn't look like it's being used yet.
Trading screen
Updated creative inventory (if you don't have the pre-release, it's gonna look really weird. I know I probably shouldn't do this until the next update is officially released, but I got excited and decided to let all of you suffer for it)
Noticed the liquid part of potions looked weird considering the shape of the bottle. It should be fixed now.

Update #10 : 05/18/2012 4:46:27 pm5/18/12

Updated for the recent pre-release, so basically I added cocoa plants.

Update #9 : 03/22/2012 7:08:11 pm3/22/12

Updated for 1.2.4
Planks have different colors.
Hieroglyphics and smooth sandstone

Stuff I plan on doing soon.
Recently found out how to change the water, lava, fire, and portals, so I'll be working on that for a while.
Also found out there's a separate file used for the enderdragon when it's dying, so I'll have to change it to match the alive version.
More random mobs. I just can't seem to motivate myself to do them...
Must figure out how to change the compass and clock. I had them ,but then the game started using the default for some reason. Wtf is up with that?

Update #8 : 03/11/2012 1:52:19 am3/11/12

WOO! I FINISHED IT! (kinda)
Did the rest of the paintings.
Did the Enderdragon. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Tweaked a few things here and there. Feathers, end stone, ferns, and a few others.

Even though I'm technically finished, I still plan to update it every now and again. I'll make more random mobs and what have you. I still need help with the font. I have no clue why it doesn't work right. Also clocks and compasses don't seem to work anymore. They worked before, but now they don't. I don't know why.

Update #6 : 03/04/2012 2:36:23 pm3/04/12

I am so close to being done it's stupid.
Did the armor.
Fixed some things with the grass/foliage color. Apparently, I had created some dead looking forests.
Squared those little Xs that popped out when you get a critical hit or hit with an enchanted item.

Still to do:
Probably mess around with grass/foliage color some more. I'm still noticing some dull trees in taiga biomes and dullness overall in swamps.
I think I'm gonna make it work with random mobs.
Not quite finished with the paintings.
The Enderdragon. It looks so complex...

I'm getting really excited. This is my first texture pack, and I know it doesn't have too many downloads at the moment, but it still feels like I accomplished something. I'm so awesome...

Update #7 : 03/04/2012 12:26:18 am3/04/12

Didn't do too much, partly because there isn't a whole lot left to do.
Did a few more paintings. Only 8 more to go!
Made it slightly compatible with random mobs. If you have it, you'll get red slimes and female villagers. If you don't, then too bad. You'll have to stick with only green slimes and a very homosexual tribe of villagers.

Still to do:
Still have 8 paintings left to go, like I said before.
Still haven't done the enderdragon. I sure am looking forward to it...
Gonna make more random mobs for people with random mobs.
This list is essentially the same as the last update's list...

Update #5 : 03/03/2012 11:45:42 pm3/03/12

Was hard at work recently doing some texturin'.
Finished mobs (Except the dragon. It looks freaking hard.)
Tweaked the color of grass and leaves just a little bit. Should be a bit bluer in the mountains.
Did the boat, cart, and sign.
Did the 1.2 textures. (Jungle trees, jungle saplings, redstone lamps, circle stone bricks, those weird and apparently unused hieroglyphics, ocelots, cats, and iron golems)
Changed the text that appears at the end of the game. I really hate that stupid end poem.
Changed a few splash texts. Not very many are different. I'm just going to change them as I think of them. You might not even notice.
Added me into the credits because I'm self-obsessed.
Squared the cross-hairs.
Changed the clouds. I'll probably change them again. They're too big and too spaced out. You might notice that some of them are colored now. That was me. : )
I tried editing the font, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't know what to do. I changed the default.png in the font folder, but it didn't change in the game. I even replaced the alternate.png with another copy of the default so enchantments would be in english, but its still in that Standard Galactic Alphabet or whatever. If anyone knows what I did wrong please tell me. I don't know what to do about it.

Update #4 : 03/03/2012 2:45:33 am3/03/12

Messed with the grass and foliage color. I hated how dull it looked. It's considerably more vivid now.

Update #3 : 03/02/2012 12:32:23 am3/02/12

Worked on paintings this time. Not done yet, but still. You might notice a few cameo appearances by some beloved characters.

Second Update : 02/29/2012 6:10:16 pm2/29/12

Not too much added.
Changed a few mobs. (creeper, enderman, cow, squid, snowman, the easiest ones)
Fixed language button.
Achievement screen.

First Update : 02/29/2012 1:29:09 am2/29/12

This is essentially a list of all the things I did in this little update:
Finished items.png. (pretty much the entire inventory)
Fixed the dyes. (no longer a single solid color)
Changed the background at the title screen.
Added black lines the the edges of the Minecraft logo. (not all that important)
Squared the Mojang logo.
A few other small tweaks that you probably won't notice.
