Hello, everyone at Planet Minecraft!

My name is Thomas. I'm the owner of Uniblue Media and creator of the texture pack, "R3D.CRAFT". I've been working on this texture pack for one year now and due to recent events, this blog was created to inform you about a situation that have occurred a couple of days ago.

...but before I begin to explain about what happened, here's an explanation on what R3D.CRAFT is, copied from my original thread at MinecraftForum:

R3D.CRAFT, pronounced "Red Craft" or "R-3-D Craft", is a high quality texture pack that can be applied to the game, Minecraft. Based on the default texture that belongs to this game, R3D.CRAFT tries to bring more realization, with high quality textures, smoother gradients and shadows, artificial lighting, small details or new details + so much more.

Before I say anything more, because I know some of you who are interested are wondering about it... NO, R3D.CRAFT is NOT cancelled. I'm still working on it, and as far as I can tell, my works quality is only progressing.

WHAT HAVE HAPPENED?
R3D.CRAFT does not longer exist on this site. The very reason for why R3D.CRAFT does no longer exist on this site is because it was deleted on behalf of the moderators decision, because it did, without me knowing about it, conflict with the site rules. It is described as a "filtered texture pack" which means a texture that uses the original Minecraft textures as base, and remake it/create textures that overlays with it (somewhere in that direction I believe). In this case, R3D.CRAFT is using original Minecraft textures as base, which is reasonable due to the concept of the whole pack.

Now, it is a shame that it went a whole year before the moderators acted, but I should also be grateful they let it stay here for so long. It helped me build a group of people who follows my work (maybe you :3), and because of you who have given feedback and shown appreciation for my work, I've been feeling this pack is worth the amount of work I added and are currently adding into it. So I guess I should thank the moderators. Thanks!

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
As stated above, R3D.CRAFT will continue and expand. I have never had any intentions on abandoning this pack, and I won't do it now either. Too much work and love has been put into this pack. I'm not letting that go.

R3D.CRAFT will defiantly not stay here, as it's conflicting with the site rules. This means that if you want to keep following my work, I suggest you to follow R3D's fanpage at facebook, which currently almost have 2000 followers (link below). This is a place where I also upload exclusive previews of upcoming textures. The people who follows me so far, seem to appreciate that a lot.

R3D.CRAFT will still be updated at MinecraftForum, and I will begin to use Curse as well (you should check out Curse, if you haven't).

One thing that will involve PlanetMinecraft, is something called "R3D.CRAFT: Smooth Realism". This is a new version I'm working on. The current version is "R3D.CRAFT: Default Realism". The smooth version will not use the default Minecraft texture as a base texture. It will rather try to really realize the very shape and form of it, and the texture and colors as well. So far, it looks something like this: Image link!

So that's it for now. I'm sorry that this happen, if this made it more difficult for you to stay in touch with R3D, here, at this place, but we do have to respect the site rules. Please don't accuse them for anything. I don't want some kind of war on behalf of my texture.

I hope you will still enjoy R3D.CRAFT as much has you did when it was here. A new update will come out when Minecraft 1.5 comes out! :D

EDIT: R3D.CRAFT has now updated to Minecraft Redstone Update 1.5! Links below.
