1.5 Texture Pack conversions

First off, you now find the option for texture packs under the options tab of Minecraft - the texture pack button on the main menu doesn't exist anymore, so click options and find the texture pack button there instead.

Update 1.5, for those who don't know, completely revamped how texture packs work. Any texture pack before 1.5 won't work as it used to, but you do not have to get a new one.

You just need to use the Unstitcher.

Download the unstitcher. You'll be left with a .jar file. Run the file and it should automatically open the texture pack folder in the minecraft folder. All you need to do is select the texture pack you wish to convert and click convert file.

Next time you run Minecraft, you should find a new texture pack with the same name but with the word "converted" in front of it. Choose this texture pack and your pack should be working again!

If you find you're still having texture pack glitches, I recommend downloading the latest version of Optifine, which fixes numerous things, like mess ups of custom skies or liquid textures not working.

OceanBlock

Ok I deleted the last post because I mistook 2.3 for the latest version of OceanBlock (oops!) when it is 3.0, which is actually the version I've played, so sorry about the mixup anon. I've got better tips for 3.0, haha.

I have not played 4.0, so I have nothing to add about anything new.

Anyway, here are some tips:

It's annoying to not have stone at all, but as long as you focus on growing tons of trees, you will have resources, which is nice. Just continuously grow trees. A lot of trees. All the time. Seriously. Always be growing as many trees as you can. Nothing is more annoying than running out of wood and having to wait forever to get more.

My biggest suggestion is to pen in the villagers as soon as possible, and build them doors/homes so they can breed. They'll be your biggest resource when it comes to tools. There's diamond, iron, and other ores around, so you'll need some things to trade to get the right tools to mine it. Make as many tradeable items as you can and build up a nice stack of emeralds.

Gather as much dirt as you can to get more grass. If you see this post, you can see how you can get animals to spawn for food, which you can also trade to the villagers.

You need to make a diving platform to get down to the dirt. You don't need to make a hollow tube - just build a pillar of wood down and place ladders on it to create air pockets.

Also, try and get to the Nether as soon as you can. It'll really make your time easier.

After that, just basic survival island/skyblock tips. Spread out your grass, build a mob spawner to get mob drops, and don't go anywhere with anything in your inventory you don't need.
