Tutorial (Part 3): How to Make Your Own Texture Pack

 In Part 1 , I showed you how to extract files from your copy of Minecraft and talked a little bit about what they do and getting set up.
In Part 2, I explained how to use some of the features of GIMP to do anything.
This is Part 3, and in it we're going to actually start making textures (or at least, try to make A texture).

As a disclaimer, this takes some artistic capability as well as functional knowledge of the tools. I can only give you knowledge, not ability.

Tutorial (Part 2): How to Make Your Own Texture Pack

In Part 1, I showed you how to get the texture files you'll need out of Minecraft, and instructed you to go and get GIMP. If you haven't gotten GIMP yet, go do so, or use your copy of Photoshop or equivalent texture-editing software. If you've already got GIMP or Photoshop and are familiar with them, you can probably skip this part of the tutorial.

Tutorial (Part 1): How to Make Your Own Texture Pack

Making texture packs isn't actually that difficult. Really, all it takes is a good idea, and a knowledge of the tools you'll need to use to make it. This tutorial will attempt to teach you to use an open-source image editing program to make your own texture pack, from getting the files you need to using the available tools to make changes.

I made this texture pack - which changes the terrain.png, 
and terrain folder items(sun and moon) - to better suit 
my MC playing and graphic tastes.
