Stratum Texture Pack 1.19, 1.19.4 → 1.18.2

Computers have become more and more powerful in recent years and therefore video games have also become more realistic. To be honest, you can’t include regular Minecraft here, because the graphics are very simple, but that can be changed. One approach would be to install the Stratum texture pack for Minecraft. This pack changes the entire look and turns the open-world game into a visual masterpiece.

Stratum texture pack can keep up well with its competitors because it relies on special techniques. First of all, you should know that PBR textures are used. Physically based rendering makes the landscape look much more realistic because the light in combination with shaders looks authentic. If you play with the Stratum 2048x version, you will feel like you are playing a completely different game. Of course, there are also lower resolutions, which are mainly made for low-end computers. The great thing about the basic version is that it is completely free. In contrast, you have to pay for all other resolutions.

PBR and POM support

But now back to the technical aspects. There is also extensive POM support in addition to the PBR textures. The full name of this is Parallax Occlusion Mapping and it is used to create cool 3D blocks in the Stratum texture pack. This graphical effect is one of the coolest features because it gives you extreme realism. Basically, it can be said that POM gives the textures much more detail and depth.

There is also the normal and specular maps feature that only works with shaders. This gives the reflections on the blocks that look incredibly good. As a result, you will notice how the Stratum texture pack becomes even more realistic because more boring textures suddenly look incredibly good due to the new reflections.

Furthermore, you should take a look at the system requirements, because Minecraft might crash. Also, it is certainly good to know that the Stratum texture pack is not compatible with Bedrock, MCPE, and the Windows 10 edition, but is made exclusively for the Java Edition.
