Hi there,
i got this Meine Kraft Texture Pack from Minecraft and want to have it on Minetest.

I tried a Texture Pack Converter but i didn't get that damm thing to work. Is there any else way to convert the Texture Pack or would someone do that for me?

Download the Texture Pack: http://www.mediafire.com/?033tkzu3k6iqu1d
Here's the link to the Texture Pack Converter:http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=292

These are some pictures of the Texture Pack in Minecraft

I've written a converter for Minecraft classic textures as part of my importer for maps from classic. It uses convert from imagemagic for the actual extratcion of the images. The converter is a bash shell script. If that may help you, look here: terrain2mt.sh

Ok what should i do with this code?

If you have everything the script needs (mainly convert from imagemagic somewhere in your path), run it with "./terrain2mt.sh terrain.png" (with terrain.png beeing your texture map) on unix-like systems. It's a shell script. The line "convert -crop 16x16 terrain.png temp.tcrop.png" does the actual splitting up of terrain.png into 16x16 pixel large images named temp.tcrop.png.0 etc. Those texture files afterwards get renamed to names that can be better memorized; e.g. no. 35 beeing the front of a bookshelf.

This is a Ruby script you can use to convert Minecraft texture packs to Minetest texture packs. It is rather easy to use on Linux. If you use Windows, you can try running some Linux distribution like Ubuntu in VirtualBox. :)

Remember that if you want to use VirtualBox, you'll have to download it too and when creating the virtual machine, point to the ISO file (do not remove it until you installed Ubuntu in the virtual machine, where you will have to remove the ISO file from the list of virtual drives). This is a Minetest forum, so if you have trouble doing this, ask on the Ubuntu forums instead. :P

Also, a readme.md file is just a text file with some formatting, you can open it with any "notepad" program.

Ok thanks but i will run it from an USB-Stick.
Can you tell me what the hack is going on on http://www.ubuntu.com/? (I mean the Timer....)

I tried to run it from USB but that didn't worked well. Now i do it like you told me and using a Virtual Box (That works quite well)

I ran the shell script on terrain.png in that texture pack. I actually had to modify the script because the file names weren't matching up properly. Here are the resulting images. I've not made a texture pack before but I think now all you need to do it rename the images to their proper minetest equivalents?

I would consider it. It seems like a good platform and they are doing some revolutionary stuff. I use Ubuntu 98% of the time on my Desktop so I'm a bit partial to it (I only use Windows for testing web development in IE, and Video Editing which I don't do much of)
