With the original author of the John Smith texture pack taking a break from texturing, the last version of Minecraft to be completely textured by John Smith himself was 1.2.5. The Minecraft community has decided to work on some third-party updates to add the missing textures in a manner faithful to the original John Smith.
Many people play with mods, and especially with the recent launch of the FTB modpacks, all of the things those excellent mods add will stick out like a sore thumb with the default 16x textures when using the JS pack, and so we have the answer...
Please note that while the JSTR texture pack contains new textures for the majority of the items in many of these mods, there are still certain items, blocks, and GUIs that have not yet been “JSed”. However, for most of these, textures from Vattic's Faithful 32 pack have been used as placeholders.
[32X] JOHN SMITH: LEGACY (1.4.7/1.5/1.6/1.7) [JSTR - MOD SUPPORT (FTB, TEKKIT .ETC.)][COMMUNITY PROJECT][CUSTOMIZER]
The minecraft downloads below are compatible with MC versions 1.2.x, through to 1.7.x. Due to the introduction of "Resource Packs" which replace the traditional texture packs, JSL v1.1.x and higher are not compatable with versions of MC prior to 1.6, and vice-versa.
John Smith Legacy v1.0.7 for MC 1.2.5 - 1.5.1
John Smith Legacy v1.1.8 for MC 1.6.x
John Smith Legacy v1.2.0 for MC 1.7.x *Latest Update*
