!!!DOWNLOAD LINK NOT FUNCTIONAL!!!

Sorry guys, must've taken the pack down by accident cleaning my dropbox out or something. I'll get a working version up when I can.

*sigh*

Blast Mojang and their accursed overhyped community of awe-inspiring builders.... I'm updating the pack in prep for 1.17.

Q: When should I expect the update/the pack to be working again.
A: I'd like to have the old gal up on the day of APRIL 1ST, 2021. There's a lot of work to do and I'm one guy working on this with a non-minecraft day job, so progress across Minecraft's hundreds of blocks and mind boggling number of items are gonna take me considerable time to slog through.

Q: Will anything new be added?
A: Of course! -WHAT- will be added though? That I have only a ghost of an idea of, though I assume at least some 1.17 stuff will make it in.

Q: Will old textures be changed/overhauled?
A: To an extent, yes and no. Most blocks are just gonna get moved from old to new without changing texture much, but I'd like to add to the list of blocks with multiple textures. Y'know how lillypads face different directions, but if you place them in the same spot over and over they never face someplace else? I can do the same thing with block textures. Place a crafting table on Y30/Z50/X258 and it might be made of oak, place it one block higher/lower/left/right/ahead/behind though, and it might be made out of anything.

Now for the big one.

!!!!!!!!!! What is the Ancient Equip pack? !!!!!!!!!!

Originally developed just to modify weapons and armor, the Ancient Equip pack got its start on Pocket Edition and is in the process of being converted to PC. It now includes textures for most blocks you'll ever encounter, all the armor you could wear, all tools, and my personal favorite block.... the stonecutter.
The pack has three general ideas behind it.

1.) "ANCIENT": You will find that most assets are designed with a medieval feel in mind. The tools are rusted, the blocks are molded over, even the nether has been aged to a corroded green with darker toned lava.

2.) Balance: A lot of 16x16 packs look just a bit too blocky and pixelated, while 32x32s seem to be covered in thin lines with too many curves for a game made of cubes. The Ancient Equip pack uses 16x16 textures with heavy airbrushing to give a smooth look to the environment WITHOUT losing that classic Minecraft feel. Texture not added yet? No problem. The default textures of any given block will still fit right in with the pack, the only big exceptions being dirt and rock textures (which thankfully I've already added).

3.) A hidden story. The Ancient Equip pack has, ever since moving to PC, always aimed to hide some lore in the places you rarely look, almost giving the feel of a modded game without needing Forge. As the pack isn't up yet, I'll go ahead and tell you some places high and low you should look. Some of these hints may disappear from this Planet Minecraft page once the pack gets relaunched!
-> Wooden swords will be but one of several types of tools with hidden lore on them. Complete your collection of every tool from every material if you wish to seek out all their secrets!
-> Chiseled blocks have always hidden one story or another. Collect them all!
-> Ore blocks are definitely something to check, particularly when placed together.
-> You might want a couple max level maps of different areas that are explored as little as possible. Who said they had to be blank?
-> I can write in journals too (Don't worry, I'll keep your writing legible).
-> Not certain, but I *might* hide something in sponges. Maybe. Probably..... Yeah, I think I've got an idea.
-> Face a certain way, see a certain time of day. Keep an eye on your compass and clock!

Anyhow, that's all you need to know for the moment. I'll keep y'all updated as I get closer to to rerelease!
