Leostero's Textures

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/469828-16x-17x-leostereos-textures-revamped/

I especially like this simple style of texture pack. why try to achieve realisms when you can get such a lovely fun feeling from a texture pack like this one. Leostero's texture pack seems to be based around lines and smaller squares which give me a comic book feel. the tree leaves are especially cool as they are very stylised but create a feel of dense foliage which the real game is lacking in my opinion. All the wood textures merge very nicely together making regular houses look custom  made. other textures are also masterfully created such as bricks. However i feel like more effort could be made with the animals in the texture pack as they look quite plane, with 2 black beady eyes that send chills down your spine, not quite in keeping with the fun i got from the rest of the pack.

Mitchell's HD Texture Pack

Playing on my server the first thing i notice is the lovely font used in the text box. also as the spawn is in the middle of the sea i experience just how lovely the water animations are, including a lovely splash animation when you jump in with bubbles around you sprite. the wheat texture is also very nice giving you a real feel of farming looking very realistic. The slime on the ends of sticky pistons is possibly the most real for me as it really does look stick and gungy like mucus and as if a block touching it would actually stick to it. chests come equipped with locks and real looking textures which make you wonder what lies within them. If you thought you were impressed by the texture pack so far you will be blown away when it comes to night time. i was awe stricken when a huge full moon rose across the server looking very realistic making me say "check out the moon", before remembering i was the only one with the texture pack on. Ore block look nice however the darker blocks like coal can be difficult to spot if your trapped in a dark cave but besides that they are relatively easy to spot. i think this is a really nice texture pack if you are looking for realism. there are some bits i would change such as maps looking like mouldy bits of bread when in your inventory but besides that i did really enjoy using this texture pack!

Romecraft 6.2 by Stugace Texture pack review

First thing once you put on the texture pack you notice is how to front page looks amazing the buttons so detailed.  The dirt has a nice texture that tiles well and the stone and cobble stone are nicer than the default.  Some of the wools like the lime wool look a bit odd when you have built a whole structure out of them but i think the pink wool is quite nice as white and red lines.  The trees look good with the log texture and the leaves going well together. The ores look quite similar but in a good way.  Bricks are very realistic.   Overall i think this texture pack is a very realistic one for a 16x texture pack and it needs no hd patcher.
