Updated for 1.20.5/6 plus 1.21 features included!!!

Older versions now available for download on the Clarity Website: https://claritypack.com/#Downloads!

Clarity is a resource pack built on making the world less noisy. The textures are designed to be clear and simple. It is easy to see what things are, visual noise is reduced, and clutter is taken away. When this Is used across a landscape ... so much less nose:

Comparison of the several variants of Clarity with vanilla.

The above also shows the companion packs, Continuity and Connectivity, without most individual block borders. Even less noise, but some folx prefer to see the boundaries, so you can get any one of them.

Although visually simplified, the colors and tones are pretty faithful to vanilla. Things that look good visually in vanilla ought to look similarly in Clarity.

This is a very complete pack. Pretty much everything has been smoothed, cleaned up, and reworked.

The Clarity family has its own web site, so come on over and check it out!

One way to check it out is via my RestWorld resource pack test world, which is also on this site and my own site. Check it out!

(Note to the detail geeks: This is only 99% 16x; I have prioritized simple clean look over adherence to 16x, and for a few blocks I had to choose.)

This is beautiful! It's the kind of thing I set out to do with my first iteration of my texture pack like 13 years ago, but yours is far more elegantly done. May I use the model/blockstates from Clarity to make my hopper texture reflect the direction it's set to? I would credit you if I ever end up actually publishing an updated version

ETA: I love the water and lava textures. Absolutely adore them!!

That's great! It took me a long time to figure out anything at all. to do with water/lava, and when I finally said "I've _got_ to do something" it came out right away. I think it wouldn't have occurred to me if I wasn't using python to program some of the textures in the first place.

Thanks for asking, yes, the license for this allows you to use anything at all, with the caveat that -- if you redistribute your stuff -- you should mention Clarity somewhere in your release notes; here's the license summary, which is at the bottom of the pack's own website. It's _meant_ to be reused!!!

I'd love to see what you've made when you're ready!

Now we've got 1.20! Beyond the obvious, like the new blocks, mobs, and items, I've re-adjusted many of the wool and other colored items (including some ores/metals) to be more like the relatively recently updated shades in vanilla. The signs are now also edged on the left and right, the moon changes phases correctly (how did I screw that up?).

The trims were particularly challenging because they are hard to de-pixelate, since they are visually often single pixels, or one pixel wide lines, etc. I think they're pretty good, let me know if you agree.

Lots of little tweaks, of course. I think the bamboo came out pretty nicely.

With cherry wood I had a real conflict. Cherry wood is not pink! It's actually a relatively dark wood with good rich red tones. I'd have loved to work with it, but I decided in the end that my goal of harmony with vanilla tones had to win out, so pink they are.

I changed some of the paintings as I've come across some more rectilinear-working artists, including more women artists, who have been pretty ignored in general.

Let me know what you think!

I don't remember that one, do you have a link to it? I know that, for me, it's just calmer...

Glad you like it!
