On the list of the best Minecraft Texture Packs of all times the NAPP Texture Pack should not be missing. All textures are optimized down to the last detail, are a true graphic masterpiece and set completely new standards. The idea of the pack is to transform the whole game into a fresh and completely new look. By the way, the creator of the Not Another Photorealistic Pack, as the full name says, is a professional artist. Accordingly, the development of high-resolution textures is his specialty and you will immediately notice in Minecraft that he is a real professional. Of course, he uses professional software programs to work on the blocks, which he knows well. These programs are also used to create the perfect color gradients that visually connect each block. Individual parts thus become a great whole. As a result of this hard work you can now admire extremely realistic blocks that will stay in your memory for a longer time.
Currently, the NAPP Texture Pack is for Java Edition and always compatible with the latest Optifine version. If you are a Bedrock player, you will have to be patient for an indefinite period of time, because a NAPP Bedrock download link will be available in the future. Therefore, you will need a PC for the pack, which should be very powerful. It’s best if you test it yourself, because 1024x and 512x Texture Packs push even the best computers to their limits. You may also have to expect lower FPS. However, the pack will surely gain more popularity in the future, because there is almost only positive feedback.
In the screenshots you can now see the realistic environment created by the NAPP Pack. A few features are optimized for current RTX- and non-RTX-Shaders and intensify the level of detail. For this we highly recommend one of the shader packs mentioned further below, as these shaders support parallax mapping. Normally it is not possible to add 3D blocks in Minecraft and therefore this 3D effect is needed.
Now we will explain how to download and install the NAPP Texture Pack for free. The download link will take you to the official site of the pack.
Additionally, you can increase Minecraft’s RAM allocation, which reduces lag. For the best results you should read the detailed instructions.
You can use the following free shader packs to enable Parallax Occlusion Mapping (POM) to give all blocks a 3D effect and more depth. You should also read our instructions for the best settings. After that everything will look like on our screenshots and videos.
