- All projects on The Voxel Box are built using one of the Official Texture Packs.
- These packs includes server-specific tools like the Dooplicator and Magical Paintbrush. Understanding and using these tools is much easier with the intended artwork for them.
- Use of one of the official Texture Packs is mandatory for submissions to the whitelist, as it is important we are all looking at the same thing when we make an aesthetic statement about your submission.
- Remember: You only need to use our texture packs while playing on the Voxel Box!
- You can see almost all the blocks in the Factory Showroom(Which you can reach through specifically labeled 'ports.). Don't forget your Dooplicator!

Advanced Texture Pack Installation
If you are not a user of The VoxelModPack, but are comfortable modifying your game's minecraft.jar file, the texture pack also includes /lang/en_us.lang and /title/splashes.txt files for a super-custom VoxelBox experience. Unzip these files into your jar to see all the Minecraft tools and items named as their Voxel Box equivalents!
Using These Textures on Your Own Server
We are glad that the wider Minecraft community have enjoyed our original texture pack tiles, items and concepts, and encourage you to use the files and ideas in the zip files to help you put a custom pack together for your server or custom map. Here are some things you should know:
- You must not use this pack, or modifications of it as an "official" pack on a pay-to-play server.
- You must host your own files. If we see traffic leeching coming often from your website, we will take appropriate measures to stop you.
- Sorry, The Voxel Box staff will not make you a personalized or custom pack. Use programs like Paint.net or GIMP to edit your own files. It's fun and easy!
- Remember that many items in the pack are specific to The Voxel Box and its plugins. Eliminating drops from blocks and installing plugins like VoxelDoop will go a long way toward making the texture pack function in a manner more similar to what you see on The Voxel Box.
- These pack are lousy for playing the Minecraft Survival game, as they were intended to re-make it, not to conform to it.
- Design your server's player experience carefully!
Legacy Packs
The Pangea Pack
Download: The Voxel Box: Pangea Pack 1.0 - December 12, 2011 (final version)

All Mining-related blocks were replaced with new materials like Marble, Limestone, Granite and even Copper Plating, giving builders more colors and more material types to build their amazing structures in Pangea and beyond.
- In the rare instance you are visiting the world of Pangea, this is the pack you'll want to use.
- Members: All remaining builds in Pangea must stay in the Pangea Pack!
- Staff will not review new Guest builds using the Pangea Pack.
