Dear fellow Minecraft Lovers! I, Skyrocket_Moon, am excited to present to you 4 Real. I'm a college graduate with a minor in art! Just informing that this is better than the typical pack. It is made specifically for 512, 1GB graphics cards.No bury re-sized pictures from some 128 pack. All from scratch. I have put in effort and time, two months on this. In other words, lots of research has been compiled into the making of this texture pack. As an example the stone I used is a African stone noted for is smooth qualities and cave like texture. I have also put in extensive attention to details like oak leaves on oak trees  and actual wood from a caesalpinia tree type that are commonly found in the jungles for the jungle trees. This texture pack utilizes over 15 free texture and stock photo sites if your curious check out the rights in the pack to see all of these listed. This project is not finished but you can expect more top quality as I am still currently working on it. It is finished enough to be enjoyable, I wouldn't post it if it wasn't.

ps,  Optifine needed and this .bat
(The .bat makes java run 2gb of ram so it wont crash trying to load the massive file.)
*if you want my stars you will need better sky's patch from MCPatcher. and you can just add optifine as a mod in the patcher.
If you don't want mcpatcher and still want to know how to install optifine>(youtube how to install optifine)

The .bat File needs to be next to your Minecraft.exe (It looks like a grass block.)Example grass block is on your desktop then the .bat needs to be on the desktop, if grass block in a folder then .bat needs to be in that folder.(not the shortcut the main block icon/right click shortcut icon, Open file Location.)
Once you have these you can double click the .bat and it will run java and open up Minecraft that means it works! And yes you do need to leave the java open but you can down size it if it bothers you just don't close it or Minecraft closes.  On a additional note you never have to download the .bat again there's no updating on it as long as you don't delete it.

For those new to installing a texture pack here are the steps.
1. double click the .bat opens up Minecraft then once logged in click on the Texture Pack button.
2. On the bottom Click on Open texture pack folder.
3. Drag the 4 Real Zip into that folder (just drag and drop) and your done click done.
Takes 3 minutes ruffly for it to load it in it is a big file but 1gb graphics card can easily handle this.    

What is your graphics card? You can find out through GPU-Z  just google that program and download it.
It tells you everything about your graphics card and you should be able to see if your card is a 1gb or not

Additional Details:
For Best Quality and Performance!
Log into minecraft (.bat way of course) click on Options/ video settings/ details/ Clouds: Fast, Grass: Fancy, Trees: Fancy, Water:Fancy, Rain:Fast, done.
Video Settings/Quality/ Mipmap: Off, Mipmap Type: Linear, Ani: OFF, ANT:Off, Better Grass:OFF,Everything else On, Connected Textures:Fast, Done.
Video settings/ Graphics: Fancy! Advance Open GL:FANCY! also:
When using "Chunk Loading: Multi-Core" make sure to Disable "Threaded Optimization" / "OpenGL Threading"  in the graphics card control panel (example).   When I use the optifine multi-core option I get 102fps with this pack.  ( If you don't turn off Threading it will glitch the trees and other blocks flash white)
Video Settings/ Performance: 30+ as many frames you can handle. but no fewer than 30 or the soon to be added fixed water will look funky. (still reworking the flowing)
Its a good idea for you to mess around with its settings to get the best quality from the pack for your pc!
Oh yah! and you will need to restart minecraft after or you will get the see through floors that comes with any load change.
