Texture packs are often wonderful pieces of what some people might call; Artwork. When the artist of the texturepack shows his ability of creativity by inserting an amazing amount of effort and time into the texture pack, and all turns out well, the produced work will almost every time, end up beautiful. The Glimmar’s Steampunk Texturepack for minecraft 1.7.4, is an extraordinary piece of artwork.

Steampunk is a unique theme, based around a more modern, yet rustic lifestyle. By using electricity based machinery, however building it into almost old fashioned vehicles, structures and even possibly robotics.

Glimmar’s Steampunk Texture Pack for Minecraft 1.7.4 Main Features

This texturepack has not only changed the textures of; blocks, items, food, and terrain, but it has also changed even the monsters and animals. Not to mention the villagers too. It would take a huge amount of imagination and creativity to design a steampunk based monster yet still keep the same originality of minecraft mobs. Instead of changing the look of the mobs completely; the artist of this texturepack has simply kept the textures of the mobs etc., and then edited them to seem more mechanical. In a way, it also makes monsters, animals and villagers look far more mysterious, and even more hostile.

The artist of the Glimmar’s Steampunk texturepack, has taken minecraft textures to the next level. This could possibly be the next generation of minecraft texture pack themes. Everything inside this texturepack has been made to seem robotic, mechanical yet still keep the feel of minecraft. Of course wood and all the normal, natural building materials have only been changed to suit the theme. Only a few of these natural blocks and textures have been made to look mechanical or robotic. Natural substances such as dirt and grass still looks similar to the original, default texturepack minecraft already has; however, it has been changed in the slightest, just to make it fit in with everything else.

Glimmar’s Steampunk Texture Pack for Minecraft 1.7.4 Usage

When using this texturepack, like most high definition texture packs, it is recommended that you download a foreign program or mod such as mcpatcher or Optifine. These programs/mods (Optifine as a mod, MCPatcher as a program.), will “patch” your game; once the texturepack has been installed, and make everything work properly. If a foreign patcher has not been installed, the texturepack will in turn look ugly, or messed up. This is because minecraft cannot process such a high definition texturepack and it is required that you patch your game so that everything will work out with no problems.
However it may be that a program such as MCPatcher is not needed for this kind of texturepack. However, it is still recommended that you install the Optifine mod to decrease lag and FPS usage. If at any time that you feel in the need to install a high definition texturepack you will need to in the end, download a foreign patcher. However with the Optifine mod, it will automatically patch your texturepack and the trouble of continuously patching your game will be fixed.

Alien VS Predator Mod for Minecraft 1.7.4

When you start playing Minecraft for a long time, you realize that the game lacks some challenge. This has provoked the author to creating this wonderful mod for us to enjoy. The aliens vs. predators mod adds a bit of the movie into Minecraft by adding new mobs, including the Main mobs and secondary mobs which are required to maintain life. Turning the game into real hell.
Aliens vs. predators has 3 species developed. The humans, the aliens and the predators. The Aliens to their nature will kill everything in their way whereas the predators sort of defend the human race and kill only what comes in their way or causes a threat.
The Mod also adds multiple blocks for creative people to play around with and build new architectural wonders in the creative mode. However this mod is much more fun whilst played on survival.

What are the Main Features of the Alien VS Predator Mod?

  • The main species of the mod are fully-kitted out, not only are they deadly when provoked and look amazing- Smaller creatures from both sides are also added (which are in the same life cycle)
  • A tonne of epically awesome weapons are added, make sure you are full-equipped with the best you can find before going after these deadly mobs!
  • Fifteen new blocks are added, so those with a more creative side can also enjoy it!

Positives and Negatives

There aren’t many negatives to this mod, perhaps one slightly frustration is that it is not totally finished yet. It is a new mod, so a lot of the work is buggy and not fully updated! However if you can bare to wait around I’m sure everything will soon get amazing!

Positives galore! Not only is this mod very challenging, but it also adds a great variety to the game that we have never seen before. The additions of the new blocks allow the mod to appeal to everyone, crafters and fighters! The models for the mods look great and a lot of new ideas are being floated around as it is regularly updated!
