There are hundreds of Minecraft texturepacks. The textures I use do not look like the default Minecraft textures. Comparing it to community-created content does not make much sense.
There are no crystal or tentacle biomes because I cannot create them currently due to a lack of time and a lack of skill to make the textures. And mushroom biomes are very rare in Minecraft (thus not typically associated with Minecraft) and look completely different.
Keep in mind that whether you personally think it looks like Minecraft or not, or the exact textures you are using, isn't really that relevant. If players and others think it's a Minecraft clone, then for all practical purposes it is. I mean you really can't dictate a customer's or service provider's opinion on a matter like this. It will look to them, how it looks to them. If you want it to look different to them, you will have to listen to their input and try to see what you can change.
