ParilThrowing this at the top just so I can get attention to it: lemon or somebody else, could you point me to the profile of the user that owned this:People keep arguing that this helps prevent spam, but I really don't see a way these packs are spam other than that you apparently "can't get as much detail," which is not a reason for something to be considered spam. Certainly a different rule at least could be implemented to reduce the spam.
Those who say it's only because of detail alone do not understand the issue at hand. I will admit, however, that I had not considered non-power-of-two texture packs as that's kind of a non-standard thing to do in the world of textures (at least from an OpenGL perspective). If it makes you feel better, we can modify it to "4x and below", which would allow the aforementioned 7x7 pack to live again as I can see why removing the pack may have caused a bit of confusion. When we wrote up the "below 8x" rule, what I had in mind was not to have 7x packs removed but rather 4x and below.

Urgh. Whilst I do appreciate others' opinions and it's nice to see others' views, I really don't like how you respond. You seem to accept no compromise and hate those that disagree with you and love those that agree with you. That is a horrible attitude to have.
I'm not gonna bother responding any more for several reasons such as I don't delve into texture packs, like I said, and you seem to be unwilling to even consider another viewpoint other than your own.

Whilst some do require some effort, like I said, and have some finicky parts, the majority of them are poorly made and fall under the spam rule - if not all of them.
I'm unsure of what I've been told about resolution and Minecraft's rendering - anyone care to shed some light on it?
From what I remember, the '8x LOSE LAG TEXTURE PACK' spam started because people believed that it reduced lag when, in actual fact, it didn't.
I don't know what the current Miencraft is like, but when I played you needed mcpatcher to play on 32x+ texture packs. Due to this, I believe your statement about there being 'no set resolution' to be false as an external program was needed to allow Minecraft to display larger resolutions. Like I said, someone who knows what they're talking about properly would be really helpful here.
I don't really wanna go into disco's pack for several reasons, but it appears to be grandfathered. At the time, packs like that were allowed (they still TECHNICALLY are as the rules don't explicitly state it, but it could be argued that it is spam) so we won't touch it.
Thing is, even though some of disco's pack looks like bucket-fill - he seems to be the same as you.peytonisgreat Does that mean my pack should be removed because a few blocks were not extremely difficult to make? No!
You said yourself that, just because a few blocks were easy to make, it doesn't mean the whole texture pack should be removed. From a quick observation of Disco's pack, not all of them appear to be 2 colours in a bucket fill - such as the pumpkin.
I understand how amount of pixels placed =/= effort nor quality, but there's a limit. Take projects for example.
I build a bad, probably ironic and super super funny, small 3D art of something. This is 30 blocks at the most. It still falls under the spam rule as it's minimal effort.
It's like this on texture packs and skins, too. Skins with single colour edges and bucket filled insides aren't allowed - just as texture packs with a very small amount of pixels aren't allowed. Whilst there could potentially be some effort and thought put into it, it's severely limited - especially in comparison to a higher resolution texture pack such as 16x.
EDIT: there appears to be 24 votes but only 13 posts - a lot of which are by the same person(s). C'mon, guys; peyton asked for feedback. Don't just vote then leave. Comments are really appreciated.
CharlizardpeytonisgreatThere are really no problems to these packs at all! They reduce lag more than an 8x would
From what I've heard over the years, they don't. The game still renders at 16x, your texture pack is just 4x/whatever.
Whilst you may see no problems, a lot of people do.Whilst some of the more complex blocks may be more finicky to make, it, overall, requires less effort. You're placing at least a quarter of the amount of pixels that you do to make a default texture pack so you do less work. That falls under the spam rule.
I'm not really one to delve into texture packs, but I believe this rule is just fine.
