You have installed a HD texturepack (Realistico for example) and you get some weird glitches when playing?
For example, you have:
- animated fire and purple portal in some blocks (stone or dirt)
- weird thickness for your items in hand
- red square instead of fire
- weird clouds thickness
- no random skins for Mobs
- default water and lava or static water an lava

This tutorial is dedicated to all the solutions to definitely fix those graphical bugs for Minecraft.

Note Those bugs are not due to the texturepacks authors but are directly due to Minecraft itself which is still not updated to fully support HD texturepacks.

MCPatcher
MCPatcher is a java application that will allows you to switch between texture packs from one size to another sizes.
It fully supports HD texturepacks and adds cool graphical enhancement to Minecraft.

Pro
- Generally works on new version even when no Mods are updated yet
- Supports lot of cool graphics enhancement Mods
- Easy to use and to install: just launch and click "Patch" (recommended for beginners)
- Supports Betterglass Mod (semi-transparent glasses)

Cons
- Doesn't fix lag spikes and doesn't try to optimize Minecraft

Download
Go to the MCPatcher thread on Minecraftforum.net
Download last version of MCpatcher on Github.com

Note For Realistico, it is recommended to disable "Better grass" and enable "Custom Colors" and "Connected textures".

Optifine
Optifine is a Mod which adds support for HD textures and a lot of options for better looks and performance.
From its author himself, thanks to Optifine "doubling the FPS is common".

Pro
- Integrated support for Shaders
- Tweaks Minecraft in a way to optimize and fix bugs
- Supports some cool graphical enhancement Mods over time (still less than MCPatcher)
- Lots of new graphic options in game

Cons
- Could be difficult to install for beginners
- Needs an update after a Minecraft update (old versions of Optifine do not work with new versions of Minecraft)

Download
Go to the Optifine thread on Minecraftforum.net
Download last version of Optifine on Optifine.net

Note To enjoy all the features of Optifine, it is recommended to use the version called "OptiFine HD Ultra for Minecraft".

For any problems, the comments are here for you ;)

Torches are acting a little funny, glass doesn't appear retextured nor mobs nor lava. Followed all steps word for word and picture by picture. Confused.
