Those look interesting! Should make for good looking houses.

I have a suggestion if you have the time Ion. Have you taken a look at the textures for whitestone, especially the siding and moulding varieties? That's probably the only part of the pack I find looking unfinished.

It's all chance. Since you spawn desert temples, you have structures enabled and villages will spawn. But as every seed is random and there's no in game way of finding them other than wandering, you just have to keep trying. If you are desperate to the point of quitting, you can use a map tool and l...

So far I've found one in four fortresses had no nether wart room. I don't know if my numbers is an accurate depiction of how it happens for everyone else, though.
Lucky for you that nether warts is a one time find. Once you've got some, you have your first fortress for everything else.

To add to Niyu's post, it's a good idea to dig a 3x3 or if you're a beginner at soulsand, a 4x4 box in your tunnel before using it and maybe also going into third person. It helps a lot in figuring out which direction the sand is going or if it stands still.

I was disgustingly lucky on this topic of wither skulls. I saw the same system as you guys, I brought a big windmill, saw blade, chopping blocks from a jungle temple as well as other goodies and made a railway to my nether fortress. Then I unleashed the groth plague and started making a windmill roo...

Thank you Cryo. Oops, I'm silly I didn't check that first. Nevermind =)

I love the update. My stomach flipped when I fell into a pit in the desert.

I have a question. The last update you fixed wicker returning 9 sugarcane. How about blocks of flint?
I'd like to use them as a storage block, but maybe it's intended you can't turn them back?

Everyone's already made more touching, well-written responses in this thread, so I'll keep mine short. Thanks for the 2+ years I've played your game overhaul. You've added over 200 hours to a game I thought I'd long gotten bored of. I'm gonna keep an eye open for your future projects for sure and pl...

Thank you Gates. Apparently my 1.5.2 mcpatcher was slightly different than the newest one and that's why it didn't work. Now I can enjoy the great icons of stacked items. But I still have 1 graphical error with the chains (single iron bar placed vertically) I see lines at the top/bottom of the block...

I love this texture pack for BTW, but I can't get the CIT aspects to work.
Can someone point me somewhere where I can learn how to get the option in Mcpatcher to patch CIT into Minecraft 1.5.2?
I've searched for a couple of hours and I'm starting to give up.

This is one of the best updates ever for me personally. I have detested Minecraft rain since the time it was added even though I do enjoy it in reality. Now that it doesn't destroy my ears I enjoy the rain once more and I don't go cursing it and go mining out of spite even if I had planned to do som...

My solution
... What am I turning into?
