Favorite Resource Packs
My favorite resource packs are FlowsHD and Mine Wars. The reason for these two is explained in the following sentences. FlowsHD has sort of a comfortable feeling in which it has nice 128 X 128 textures and it also helps in building country homes like mine. Mine Wars on the other hand is a fun role playing kind of style where you have all your swords which have the textures of light sabers. Then you have your armor! Iron armor looks like the armor of Clone Troopers, gold armor looks like Jedi Robes, diamond looks like the 501st armor, and chain looks like Sith robes. Please tell me your favorite resource packs in the comments.
I have been using "Faithful" for a while now, long enough to not be able to identify it as different, and the default textures look terrible. I highly recommend it, link here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/72747-faithful-32x32-pack-updateocelot-two-cats-new-saplings-ctm-17/
I've used variations of Dokucraft and I prefer High or Light depending on what they do to the pack after each minecraft update. Dokucraft is more of a fantasy look. Conquest and John Smith and its variations are really well done. Especially if you like medieval.
I will try out all of those!
