One of the main reasons for the huge success is certainly the fact that almost every Minecraft player is looking for exactly such a pack. Among them are graphic artists, translators and the team leader, whose real name is Alexey Krainev. Today the team consists of over 20 people. In the beginning Vattic did all the work himself, but now xMrVizzy leads this great project. Besides new game content, due to more and more complex updates, the Faithful team has of course also grown bigger and bigger. That was in spring 2012 and a lot of time has passed since then.
In plain language this means that the first version was for the Minecraft update 1.2.5. Although the first release was years ago, Faithful texture pack is still the most downloaded texture pack in the world.
