NOTE: Sphax doesn’t allow third-party distribution of unmodified original texture files so for now you have to go through this process (below) of combining the files yourself. Ingrimmm and Cap’n Jack are working on a better solution for this!

Creating a Sphax PureBDcraft with Tekkit Classic SMP texturepack

Follow the steps below to create your own fully-patched version of the Sphax PureBDcraft texture pack with crumbl3d’s Tekkit Classic SMP texture patch! The basic idea is this, you need to take the two files and merge them into one so Minecraft knows how to load everything.

Sphax
  1. Download the Sphax PureBDcraft base texturepack file
    1. Choose 128x, 64x, 32x, or 16x (those are the only resolutions supported by the Tekkit Classic SMP texturepack)
    2. Choose the version for Minecraft 1.2.5 (that’s the current MC version with Tekkit Classic)
    3. Download the File as a ZIP file
    4. URL: http://bdcraft.net/download-purebdcraft-texturepack-for-minecraft
  2. Download the Patch files for Tekkit Classic SMP
    1. Choose the same resolution as the base Sphax from step 1.1 above (128x, 64x, 32x, or 16x)
    2. Choose the version for Minecraft 1.2.5
    3. Download the file as a ZIP file
    4. URL: http://bdcraft.net/forum/128x64x32x-tekkit-smp-312-addon-pack
  3. Merge the Patch ZIP file with the Sphax Base ZIP file
    1. Windows
      1. Open the Base Sphax zip file you just downloaded (I recommend using WinRAR)
      2. Open the Tekkit Classic SMP patch zip file you just downloaded
      3. Select and Copy all of the contents from the Tekkit Classic SMP Patch file into the base Sphax PureBDcraft file
        1. The order is important!
        2. Use the Update and Replace option when prompted (this should be the default option on WinRAR)
      4. Close both files
        1. They will save automatically, and the original, base Sphax PureBDcraft zip file has now been modified to include the Tekkit Classic textures
      5. Rename the base Sphax PureBDcraft zip file to reflect the fact that you have patched it
        1. i.e. “Sphax PureBDcraft 128x with Tekkit Classic SMP.zip”
      6. Take the newly awesomified zip file and drop it in your texture pack folder (see below for instructions on this)
      7. Done!
    2. Mac
      1. Open the tekkit texturepack folder
        1. see “How to Install” (below) for instructions on how to find it,
        2. -or- navigate (manually or with shift+command+g) to ~/Library/Application Support/techniclauncher/tekkit/texturepacks
      2. Inside, make yourself a new folder to put all the texture files
        1. e.g. name it “Sphax PureBDcraft with Tekkit Classic SMP”
      3. Unzip/Copy the base Sphax PureBDcraft texture zip into your folder
        1. Copy all of the zip file’s contents into the new folder (e.g. “Sphax PureBDcraft with Tekkit Classic SMP”) you just created
      4. Unzip/Copy the Tekkit Classic SMP patch zip file into your folder
        1. Copy all of the zip file’s contents into the same new folder (e.g. “Sphax PureBDcraft with Tekkit Classic SMP”)
        2. Don’t use the “Replace All” option when copying – it will overwrite instead of merging. You’ll have to manually copy the last 2-3 folder contents over!
      5. Done!

  1. Guy’s you can use the v1.6 for Tekkit 3.1.2 just read the ReadME in the zip. I am the creator of this patch and just want to let you know. v1.4 is outdated and doesn’t have everything textured! 🙂
