Creating a Sphax PureBDcraft with Technic SSP texturepack

Follow the steps below to create your own fully-patched version of the Sphax PureBDcraft texture pack with the Technic SSP 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 and make it look legit.

1. Download the Sphax PureBDcraft base texturepack file
   1. Choose 128x, 64x, 32x, or 16x (those are the only resolutions supported by the Technic texturepack)
   2. Choose the version for Minecraft 1.2.5 (that’s the current MC version with Technic)
   3. Download the File as a ZIP file
   4. URL: http://bdcraft.net/download-purebdcraft-texturepack-for-minecraft
      

      Download one of these files

2. Download the Patch files for Technic
   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/technic-pack-64px128px
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 Technic patch zip file you just downloaded
      3. Select and Copy all of the contents from the Technic 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 Technic 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 Technic.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 technicssp 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/technic/texturepacks
      2. Inside, make yourself a new folder to put all the texture files
         1. e.g. name it “Sphax PureBDcraft with Technic”
      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 Technic”)  you just created
      4. Unzip/Copy the Technic 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 Technic”)
         2. Don’t select “Replace” if asked, choose the option to ignore. You’ll have to go back and copy those guys in manually – you don’t want to overwrite anything!
      5. Done!
