Roma Victor! - Ancient Rome in Minecraft!

Romecraft XVI - "Germania"

(Core Pack)

SUMMARY:

This texture pack replaces almost every texture with an Ancient Roman theme. All blocks were inspired by real life examples of Ancient Roman art and architecture! Most famously, the armor has been replaced by ancient Roman armor examples.

The aim of this texture pack is to present an Ancient Roman approach to the world of Minecraft. Using the mechanics already introduced through the vanilla game, I designed this pack to merely change the environment and building materials to reflect an Ancient setting. Typically, themed packs seem to stray too far from the original game, to the point where most textures look little like the original game. I try to stay closer to the theme of the game, for ease of use in both creative and survival settings. I did change some things that did not match the Roman theme, such as music discs and other Non-roman items. Wool is also a whole lot different, as it can be used to make decorative structures based on historical Roman examples!

To install this Resource Pack, you must first unzip the Romecraft14.zip file. To do this, you will need WinRar or something similar. Inside the .zip, you will find a folder titled Romecraft 14. This is your resource pack folder, which must go in the resource pack folder in your Minecraft. You can add this pack by pressing the "open resource pack" button in the lower left of your Resource Pack window in-game.

ROMECRAFT started as a personal texture pack for me and my friend H07HawK, just after Minecraft Beta was released in 2011, to better suit our little city we affectionately named "ROAM." It was an ancient roman city, with only roman themes - of course made for fun. After building a 1:1 Pantheon, I decided it needed to be spiced up with some new textures, and so I decided to start to learn how to use paint.net to texture the game. The first version, called "RomanCraft," had little detail and was overall miserably done. Soon after, I got sick of the ugly armor in Default, and made some subpar 16x16 Roman skins. Eventually, as my skills grew, I began to replace more and more textures, and learned to properly shade. I researched Roman building techniques nonstop, learning all about the architecture of Ancient Rome as I went. I focused mainly on a time period between 200BCE and 150CE, being my favorite time period of Rome.
