    I love the pack, it is very simple and beautiful at the same time, but for Bedrock Edition it is long overdue, staying in the Village and Pillage Update. I would like to update it for Bedrock :(

    I don’t know why, but when I put the texture pack in my texture files folder it doesn’t show any texture with the name bare bones in the game (I’m on 1.17)
