You probably don’t know the oCd texture pack yet, but that doesn’t matter. It was originally released by the owner of the YouTube channel FVDisco to make his Minecraft videos look more beautiful. For sure, the pack has made the Australian, who is also a talented mapmaker, even more famous. However, that was back in 2011 and a lot has happened since then.
You might think that the Faithful 4×4 texture pack is the normal default pack, but that’s not true. The resolution of 4×4 is significantly lower than the standard 16×16 pixels per block that you know from Minecraft vanilla. While the graphics are significantly more pixelated, a big advantage of this low resolution is that you get much higher FPS.
The Dramatic Skys texture pack sets completely new standards and makes the sky look much more realistic. Some changes have been made to achieve this authentic result, such as the redesign of all clouds and unique HD sky variations for over 80 biomes. Normally, Minecraft clouds have a square shape.
An increasing number of pixel artists intend to give Minecraft more attractive graphics. As evidenced by our numerous categories, there are many different approaches to this task. One highly popular category is the default packs, which aim to stay faithful to vanilla Minecraft.

This is because most people don’t know where to find textures as a template for their pack. This problem has now been solved with the release of the original Default texture pack.
For a long time Faithful was developed by a large team. Unfortunately, at some point the harmony ended because the project leader felt too powerful in his position. In other words, he was almost megalomaniac. When he started to permanently ban others on the team’s discord because they disagreed with him, it was finally too much for some team members.
Unlike many other Minecraft resource packs, Jehkoba’s Fantasy texture pack has an unusual theme. The creator Jehkoba was inspired by classic SNES JRPGs, tabletop roleplaying games and other low resolution adventure games. As a result, the textures he created are also in a rather low resolution.
Although Minecraft players are mostly found in Europe or America, the game is also gaining popularity in Asia, where a large community of players has emerged in Japan. This community may have gone unnoticed due to the language barrier, but with ongoing digitization, it is possible to discover popular Minecraft texture packs from other countries.
