I think I gotten everyone's request with the exception of some that were either deleted for some reason. I'm talking to xX_Jess_xX and minitrixer here. yours were deleted. Good I guess?
I also gotten some different requests other than skins and texture packs. I'm gonna go thru these first before the resource pack reviews.
@zipnwizz, you look fabulous! 10/10
@CleverUserName01, though I made a story before, I never tried to judge someone's story. I'll try to see if I can do it...
It's such a short story, but nice description on the scenes. The concept of the plot is good for me but nothing blew me away. 7.5/10? Well, I see why I don't review stories.
Now finally to the resource packs!

Let’s take a look at your texture pack! The pictures and front image are interesting. What I’m intrigued about is the information about it. You go further by telling where you get your inspirations and even crediting other people. The guis and buttons have great colors. But here’s the part I won’t say anything positive, the font. It tries to make it pop out of the buttons, but it’s more distracting for me. I can’t run for 10 seconds in creative mode without looking at the ridiculous font when I’m trying to get a block, but I gotten used to it and it’s worth it. It’s so different and unique. I say keep the font, but the health bar needs changing though just because I didn’t even know it was a health bar when I looked at it the first time.
8.4/10
Blocks:
The terrain here is more realistic with a sense of fantasy than modern. Its actually more like a reboot of the default resource pack. It’s a simple idea but It’s a great simple idea. The architecture is more decent to my eyes. There’s barely any contrast to these building blocks. But the main concern I have is the underground texture. The stone is unrealistically smooth, which make the ores look fake and no one likes fake diamond ores. There are some blocks that stand out like the obsidian, nether blocks, and wood, but there’s a huge hole filled with ok blocks like the sand and dispenser that need to get contrast. Your lava though looks decent, just contrast it.
7.2/10
Mobs:
So the mobs in this resource pack are making this more of a “vanilla reboot”. Most of the mobs look the exactly the same but with enhanced features. Some do work like the zombies but some looks like u added a coat of gray paint on it. Contrast seems to be your worst enemy. On the side note, what happened to the villager’s significant nose? They look more human! Even the iron golem turning into a real boy. Strange idea but fits the theme well.
7.9/10
Items:
The items… oh just name your resource pack “The Vanilla Reboot Resource Pack”. They look more enhanced than their counterparts. The ones that are unique does stand out especially the spear gun. The weaponry and armor are good and the rest feels like that. This resource pack overall is just good in general, but for a theme of realism, It does well totally. I forgot to mention that the art pieces there makes the theme kinda more of the modern feel.
8.7/10
Total: 8.1/10 for a great reboot of the vanilla resource pack with enhanced features but a lack of strong contrast

Alright, lets dig into this thing here. Pictures are promising, information is good. Ah you claimed that this is an old texture pack from 2 years ago. I reckon you had a lot of time to make yours outstanding. The guis and font looks great above the interesting background. The first problem I encountered was the “Minecraft” in the title screen. Can’t you make the letters more thick? The other guis look outstanding with the design layout of all guis that exist in the game.
9.2/10
Blocks:
When you give it that vivid, happy theme, you go over the top. The terrain and architecture blocks are so colorful and happy that I don’t even rage quit to creepers! The pattern of the blocks are very unique and diverse from each other, but I’m being too nice about it not because of the happy theme to it but because there’s small repetition on the ores. They have the same pattern. Give it variety like you did to the other blocks.
9.6/10
Mobs:
The mobs here are wonderful. The friendly mobs look more better than their counterparts. The sheep’s eyes are enormous but the villager’s from space surprise me even more. I will talk about the sounds later but the way they look, incredible. This is what I thought the villagers are like to me; weird things. The iron golem just looks so different. The head is like a tiny leaf with a smiley face. Its strange, but interesting. One thing that is bad though is the snow golem with the pumpkin head. The jack lantern design is not working it for me. It looks flat and not 3-D.
9.3/10
Items: (Compass and day-night timer is not functioning)
Items are a plus. The 3-d look of them are stunning and most are just creative. The floppy disks are just funny to me for some reason and the animations are great. There 1 technical fault on this and it is the leather armor. Its broken since I cannot dye it to a new color. No red armor for me today. The armor and weapons are not unique when compared to the blocks. Maybe try give the tools and weapon a different shape.
8.8/10
Music and Sound:
The sound just makes the atmosphere more humorous. The way the aliens sound and the zombies makes me chuckle a bit. I don’t have much to say about it but it’s a well done in my books
9/10
Total: 9.2/10 for intriguing use of a vivid and happy theme on the resource pack with surprising patterns and layouts.
