1. About MandoCraft
#########################

MandoCraft is 64x64 (quite) realistic texture pack for Minecraft game. Inspired by Star Wars saga and few of SW texture packs, with addition of photoreal 128x/64x packs. MandoCraft (will) support wide wariety of MOD's listed in chapter 4. It's extremly hard to generate realistic looking sci-fi world when You change look of fantasy/middle-age items, maintaining at least some functionality of existing items, and all that in quite blocked world. One of toughts is to manage as as many block textures as possible and fix them only for my private reasons. For example, I do not use cacti often in defence form, so they look for me more like landmarks or purely decorative items, so I may use them as moisture vaporators from Tatooine planet of Star Wars saga. But using them in pure defensive way will look then odd, so it may be leaved as cacti or other mechanica stuff that may make damage to trespassers. Other example includes variety of wool uses. Some may want use wool as metal or some starship panels or even something diffrent, but it still be made with string and cut from sheeps, so that does not look very reallistic, but is acceptable if wool texture is not very strange - like basic, not agressive looking, colored metal plates.
I've began making this pack with 128x128 resolution basing on textures made from public images available in Internet, and few other texturepacks. I was using for while of private use some textures from other, lower resolution texture packs, but that stage is over from version 9. Now all textures are made by me (if is ot told otherwise). Altough some ideas stayed same with older texturepacks (like moisture vaporators). Main idea was to have textures in world as pure as possible in terms of Minecraft base idea - so swords stayed swords or melee weapons etc. Some things got futuristic textures based on Star Wars, some got pure futuristic look. MandoCraft is not SW only, it's more SW-a-like, or with elements of that clearly visible. I will try to avoid any other Sci-Fi themes like Halo or Star trek etc.
Full power of this pack will be available, when You will play with at least some od MODs, like Buildcraft, RedPower, IndustrialCraft, Zeppelin, etc.

Additional informations: all dates in this (or mine) documents are YYYY-MM-DD. Also i begin work of making some base area for texture testing, and i'm considering running YouTube channel with some progress as Webisodes of my modded single player game with this texturepack installed including short used mod's reviews and possibly flashes of actual texture making, with commentary.

5. Downloads
##################

There are two main places where You can find this texturepack and it's additional files. First is:

Customiser - http://minecraftcustomizer.net/pack/MandoCraft/

It should be always updated, and possible to customise this textures a bit. For example You may choose font for game and enchancement table or diffrent ore textures (with visible or invisible ore inside). Altough Customizer can't maintain all files (for example animations) and does not include all MOD's, so there is alternate source of download of MandoCraft, but limited to additional files and supported mods. You need to get base texture file from Customizer and merge it with additional files from second source to have FULL package of stuff. Source is:

StarWars Combine 32x texture pack website - http://swcombine.republika.pl

Last thing to consider is lastest working version of pack in 128x resolution available here:

[128x][1.0.0] MandoCraft v9 - http://adf.ly/8MYIo (direct: http://www.mediafire.com/?m454k50hmcbpnse)

If You downloaded this package from other source it may be outdated, and for sure is not legal - please send me a message with information about download source.
