The Classic Alternative resource pack is a blast from the past that revives most of the old sounds and textures.
I have also changed the textures of more recent features in the game to make them consistent with the older aesthetic. For example, I have added black borders around all of the new foods and crops, made all doors resemble the classic oak door, pig villagers, sheep illagers, lapis-like nether quartz, and much more.
My ultimate vision for this pack is to make the modern versions of Minecraft feel like a continuation of Beta, as if it were some kind of alternate reality where Beta never ended. For those who desire something a bit... older... the neon variation of the pack includes the brightly-colored grass from the classic-thru-alpha days. For the most authentic beta/alpha experience, play with smooth lighting turned off, and moody lighting <3.
Anybody can take any asset from my pack. The classic, returning textures aren't my own to begin with, however if you use one of my custom textures (such as the doors or the iron golem) I would like to be credited. Keep an eye out on this page (or subscribe to my profile) for any updates to the pack.
Downloads for older versions (pre 1.16) and the NEON pack are available below!
Also, shoutouts to jschlatt for using my pack!

On enchanted_item_glint.png is a message in SGA saying something along the lines of:
"This item is enchanted... Half-Life 3 will never come... If it does I will be very quite pleased..."
Did you put this in as an easter egg or was this a legitimate texture used at one point?
I've not found any documentation about this online, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an official texture in the past.
