Basic Bettering [1.4]

Thank you guys so much for all of this input! I have begun working on the suggestions made by TXFDA. Yes TheCommunityGamersUK I would, but make it after I add all of the changes previously mentioned. Thank you all again for all of your help!

If I was to make a texture pack showcase would you upload it to this page?

Could use pictures of the rest of the things. But if you're gonna make a basic edit, why not change some other things? . Just sayin, if you're gonna make something so simple, why not go all out and change a LOT of things, just only change them a little. There's a lot of blocks that could use better textures. lol

-Obsidian I always thought looked kinda bland, plus it has a weird square pattern to it if you have a bunch together.
-Clear glass, obviously.
-Better windows on doors
-Bed shading always looked a bit shiny to me, could be modified.
-Maybe make tree trunks/logs have some shading on both sides to look more rounded
-Sugarcane I always thought, was way too bright and neon green.
-Adding a bit of light to the wood handle part on torches, since the flame should be lighting it too.
-Making glowstone blocks look more like a lamp? Or at least not like shiny gold cobblestone, so it looks better as lighting in houses maybe?
-Making wool a bit more interesting, maybe just a simple rounded square around each one to make it less boring.
-Making the books in the bookshelf texture look less like a gradient couldn't hurt.
-Lapis blocks as blue bricks maybe?
-making the steps on the ladder uneven?

Just some suggestions based on edits I did to my own default texture pack that I made for personal use. lol

Needs more pictures but I'll try it
