This resource pack gives the Creeper a modern retexture using the very same method Notch used when texturing the Creeper back in alpha, except with Jappa's new textures and artistic direction in mind.
I saw this tweet and thought, "Hey, that's cool, what if they just did that with the modern textures?" which prompted me to do it myself. That's basically the whole gist of the resource pack.
