I know you all probably want more spiders, but how about some new chickens instead? :P This update we've got some brand new chicken models which no longer resemble ducks, and support 3 main body types for standard chickens, baby chicks, and the new Nether chicken! The Nether chicken was made to address the rare encounters with baby Piglins which can occasionally spawn riding a chicken.

Apart from the chicken overhaul, there's also some new dirt paths that better resemble the material they're made out of! (previously were grassy paths) There's also a lot of other little goodies scattered here and there, especially with shader maps and some of the crafting/utility blocks, which will be focused on more next month, stay tuned!

Be sure to join us on Discord for all the latest info and community interaction! As a reminder, this is my main source of income. Supporting my work through Patreon and/or PayPal Donations are a good ways to help out an artist and ensure the flow of content you've come to expect over the years.

• Information/Disclaimer

This texture pack relies on multiple advanced features provided by Optifine (REQUIRED). You will need to ensure you have the latest version installed for the version of the game you are on. This pack will always support the latest STABLE release of Optifine (preview versions are unsupported).

As always, Be sure to read the installation instructions! This pack it is not designed for un-patched vanilla Minecraft! After you have read and followed the instructions, and you still have trouble with installation, check the F.A.Q. If you still have issues, please post them on the thread or go to my Discord server. Do not PM me with tech support issues regarding getting the texture pack to work.

• Features

• • • Emphasis on Realism Without Going Too Photographic - Materials are designed to make sense and resemble the components they're crafted from. Art style is semi-realistic, inspired by old-school RPG's and boomer shooters with a medieval-lite setting.
    • Reduced Eyestrain - Colors are a bit darker and more desaturated (or muted) than vanilla to allow for longer playtime without being harsh on the eyes.
    • Mostly Faithful to Vanilla Intent - No strong theme that alters textures so drastically that you're guessing what's what. Builds made in this pack will work well with those playing with vanilla textures but allow for more creative detail with the pack.
    • Advanced Texture Features for Improved Variety - Supports shader maps, connected textures, random mobs, custom models, and much more. This greatly improves creative options while making exploration more interesting and diverse.
    • Easter Eggs - With the increased diversity of blocks and mobs, expect to discover rare little references and surprises on occasion.
    • User-Supported, But Always Free - This is a passion project going as far back as 2009, and as such is something I wish to always share freely. This work is also made entirely possible by support from users like you. If you enjoy it please consider supporting it on Patreon, or even just spreading the word to friends and peers, every bit helps!
