Just spreading a word, that some of you might have not noticed.
This message was on the minecraft forums homepage about 13W02A:

A Note on Textures

Starting from this snapshot and forward, blocks and items will no longer load their artwork from one big sheet of sprites. Instead, they’ll have individual files for each image they’re using. The benefit from this is that it will be easier for Mojang to support custom blocks and items in the future. It will also allow Mojang to mix and match block artwork resolutions, and make sure that you get graphics for blocks that your current texture pack isn't updated for. Pretty awesome!

That means porting will be much easier. Now, tell, what texture pack would you guys port now?

It is already possible to convert Minecraft packs to Minetest -- there's a Ruby script somewhere on GitHub; you can also use a Bash script. The only difference for Minetest is, converting packs will no longer require ImageMagick. :)

Yeah So Minetest Score to have, not a Full List Of pics and Minecraft don't...
Well Minetest Get Full Rights did it first.
