What's the default resolution for minecraft texture packs?

Question

I want to add a texture pack for Minecraft but I don't know what the default texture resolution is, as I don't want HD packs.

Should I look for texture packs that are 16x16 or 32x32 ?

The default texture resolution is 16x16. Any higher resolutions require a client mod.

	I'm curious — do true low-res packs (where each block/item is e.g. 1 pixel, not 16x16 pixels of the same color) also require a "high"-res mod? – Ben Blank Sep 4 '11 at 23:57
	@Ben Well, I'd assume they do not in fact use just one pixel, but instead use 16 pixels of the same color. – Jake King Sep 6 '11 at 1:24
	@Jake King — There are both kinds. Hence the distinction. :-) – Ben Blank Sep 6 '11 at 5:09
