oCd Texture Pack 1.21, 1.21.5 → 1.20

Perhaps you haven’t heard of the oCd texture pack, but that doesn’t matter. Developed by FVdisco from Australia in 2014, this pack has gained immense popularity for its highly simplified and slightly stylized visuals. The same guy is also the owner of the YouTube channel FVDisco and he wanted to enhance the visual appeal of his Minecraft videos with his own pack.

The Origins of the oCd Texture Pack

Undoubtedly, the pack increased the Australian’s fame, who is also a talented mapmaker. However, that was over ten years ago, and much has occurred since then. His Redstone videos reached millions of viewers, but just a few years later, he vanished from the scene. Initially, the pack was only compatible with Minecraft 1.8. However, due to its popularity, fans have continued to update the pack to work with newer versions of Minecraft. One of them is the player named AntonLandaoALVQ who took over the project and all associated tasks.

By the way, the project name “oCd” stands for “Obsessive, Compulsive; and not the least bit Disordered,” which reflects the pack’s clean and organized aesthetic. FVdisco wanted to create a project that was both visually pleasing and easy to use, and the oCd texture pack achieves just that.

You should know that the first textures are now over ten years old, and new ones have been added with every Minecraft update. All graphics have been created for players who prefer a more minimalist and streamlined Minecraft experience, with blocks and items that are uniform in design and color. It can be said that the pack bears little resemblance to vanilla Minecraft as it relies on brighter colors, making the entire landscape more vibrant. Furthermore, these blocks and items are not found in any other pack. Nevertheless, unintentional similarities to other packs, such as Plastic, Paper Cut-out, or Soft Bits, are possible.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the oCd Texture Pack

The oCd resource pack features simple textures with clear edges. This is usually achieved with one or two colors. For example, the dirt block is a fantastic illustration because it appears simply designed and bordered. Similarly, the diamond ore has precisely four squares in the middle and also blends into the uncomplicated design. The unique style has made the pack a popular choice for players who find the standard Minecraft textures to be too busy or distracting.

One minor disadvantage is that some blocks are difficult to distinguish. They are so smooth that even seasoned players may find them almost unrecognizable. Additionally, there are ubiquitous rectangles, which do not aid in distinguishing them better. However, this does not apply to all Minecraft elements. The wool blocks are perfectly discernible, primarily due to the bright colors, which can be seen even from a great distance.

Performance Benefits

According to the creator FVDisco, it was sometimes challenging to realize his ideas because the design options are restricted to a 16×16 resolution. Thus, few details should be anticipated on the textures. This means that only 16 pixels per block side are rendered. This fact is great for every gamer because it results in higher FPS, making Minecraft run smoother. Meanwhile, there is a second version that doubles the level of detail. To be honest, this change is not that significant because simple textures are still visible. Some players may prefer to play with a 32×32 resolution, making the second version a suitable alternative to the original oCd vanilla pack.

After installing the texture pack, you will probably need some time to get used to it. However, you will have more fun constructing Redstone since a Redstone line, for example, is much easier to see. With continued support from fans, the project will likely remain a staple of the Minecraft experience for years to come.
