What is MeineKraft?
MeineKraft is a texturepack for Minecraft created by Honeyball. While it possesses realistic and cartoon-like elements, it goes beyond that, establishing its own unique style.
It became known through the Let's Play series of the famous German YouTuber "Gronkh", in which he used the pack from 2011 to 2013. It quickly became very popular and Honeyball made many versions with countless different textures, until she stopped actively working on it after 1.4.
Since then there has not been an official version of the texturepack. However, to this day it holds a large fanbase, so that perennially it was brought to the newest version of Minecraft by fans.
Today's version is a mix with textures by Wormsboy1, Spacis, baneudel and of course by us.
While other fans concentrated on keeping the pack updated, Merlinmo and ACGaming set up their task to make MeineKraft mod compatible, bringing MeineKraft to the modpack of "Life in the Woods", which Gronkh also played at that time. After the success of that task Merlinmo and ACGaming proceeded in making further mod texturizations.
In 2019 Loreon released his first Version for Minecraft 1.14, which drew the attention of Merlinmo and ACGaming. Since then we cooperate and constantly bring out new content so as to always keep MeineKraft up-to-date.
The Team
Hello
I am
ACGaming
In the legendary real life my name is Hendrik, I'm 23 years old and I'm a YouTuber with focus on Minecraft since 2012.
I created my first textures for Minecraft at the tender age of 14, first the basics of my own texture pack for Vanilla Minecraft, using images from the internet as a template. Shortly after however, I specialized in mod textures and created customized textures for various texture packs for mods to use in my Let's Play series.
At the end of 2015, Merlin started his "Your Own" project with the MeineKraft texture pack, for which I initially created a few textures. This catched Merlin's interest, whereupon I explained to him the rough premises of creating textures. Shortly after, we textured the mods of his series together.
Not much later, Gronkh started the Life in the Woods project in early 2016, after which we spent several months texturing the entire modpack for MeineKraft. The main goal was to allow Gronkh to use this texture pack for the series, as MeineKraft is usually associated with Gronkh and it would make for a fitting impression. Unfortunately, it never came to that but the textures are nevertheless worth seeing and still available.
Since then, we've had the ambition to keep developing MeineKraft for new Minecraft versions so that the texture pack doesn't fall into oblivion.

Friends call me Merlin. I am 21 years old and have been active on YouTube since 2012. I played Minecraft for the first time on 14.09.2011 and it hooked me immediately! Unfortunately, the game didn't run so well on my Windows XP computer, powered by an incredible 30GB hard drive. New hardware was needed!
At the end of 2015, I started the "Your Own" project with the MeineKraft texture pack, for which Hendrik created a few textures for me. This piqued my interest, whereupon Hendrik Sensei initiated me into the secrets of texture creation as well as Photoshop tricks.
Shortly after, we textured the modifications of my series together.
Not much later, the german YouTuber Gronkh started the Life in the Woods project in early 2016, whereupon we textured the entire modpack in MeineKraft style in several months of work. The main goal was for Gronkh to be able to use this texture pack for the series, as MeineKraft is usually associated with Gronkh and it would create a coherent overall look. Unfortunately, it never came to that, but the textures are nevertheless worth seeing and are still available.
Since then, we have had the ambition to keep developing MeineKraft for new Minecraft versions so that the texture pack is not forgotten. Together with Loreon, we have now been working on updating the texture pack, teaching, supporting and coordinating with each other.
We also want to try again for future support for modifications. As all this takes a lot of time, we hope for your support!

I'm 18 years old and it was in 2016 that I first saw MeineKraft on YouTube, making me obsessed to find it, but coming to the disappointing conclusion that it wasn't available anymore. Through trial and error I then tought myself how to edit texturepacks, so that I could make a for me fitting and compatible version of MeineKraft. I mixed textures with different packs, but never completely got what I wanted.
Having earned a bit of experience with PVP texturepacks I updated the XMAS version of the pack for a project of mine. After that I continued making more and more textures for first the 1.13 and then 1.14, never with the intention of uploading it. But after spending so much time editing and creating textures I decided to upload the pack, so people like me could find it if they really tried. The overwhelming positive feedback on my version came at a surprise, but it motivated me to keep going, until at the end of 2019 Merlinmo and ACGaming reached out to me and asked me to work with them.
Because I was constantly asked to bring out other versions that I never intended to update and everyone seemed to have much different tastes about specific textures, at the beginning of 2020 the idea of the TP Maker occured to me.
I might have underestimated the project a bit, but I couldn't be happier to have it done, in front of me and released now. With that massive task behind me I look forward to whatever we will come up with now and to a bright future for MeineKraft.
