(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); For the sake of this tutorial I will be using Misa's 64x64 texture pack from the official MC forums, because quite simply it's my favourite :p

Currently now on 1.3 there are many (texture) mods made incompatible, but a list of them plus the original post (and unnecessarily complicated instructions)on the MC forums can be found You must login or register to view this content..

- A fresh, clean version of You must login or register to view this content., as other mods tend to conflict with the patcher. If you have already used the Minecraft launcher, then delete everything in the C:\Users\user\AppData\.minecraft\bin directory so that the launcher downloads an un-modded copy.


Instructions:
1) Download all of the above.
2) Run MCPatcher and check the "texture pack" box, then browse to the downloaded texture pack. The one I linked you to is called "Misa180".
3) The patcher should auto-detect 64x64 after a few seconds, if not then something's wrong. However, if it has auto-detected the resolution then you can go right on ahead to step 4.
Optional: Un-check any boxes of modifications to the textures you don't want, although I recommend keeping all the boxes ticked
4) Click the patch button and let the patcher do it's thing. If all went well, you will be greeted by a "Success...! probably." message. Now you can close the patcher.
5) Play the game and enjoy the HD-goodness!

Note: This tutorial will work with all other HD texture packs, just follow the same base tutorial =D

Any questions, just let me know below

Tutorial-pics coming soon.

I've edited the tutorial accordingly but some mods do lay outside of the bin folder.

Mods that are outside the "Bin" folder does not affect the game, .properties and .txt files do not modify the actual game itself.

Stuff from within the "mod" folder(advanced mods create the folder) still affect the game itself and are outside of the bin folder.

They dont.

Yes they do, take SimpleMap as an example.

The only thing that actually changes the game itself is modifying the "mincraft.jar" file within the bin folder. Files in the "mod" folder only provides information on what the mods in the minecraft.jar should do eg. .properties, .txt and logs.

Go install SimpleMap then look at what appears in the mod folder, then come back :jim:

There is:
doku-minimap.png
mmcolors.png
overlay.png
painterly-minimap.png
SimpleMap.properties
SMGUI.properties

None of these are changing the game itself.

I stand corrected
