The Depixel resource pack is one of the most comprehensive projects for Minecraft as far as textures are concerned. Whereas many packs start very ambitiously only to decline later on, Depixel goes even beyond its base features. Previously known as Default 32×32, this pack took its inspiration from the very successful and famous Faithful resource pack, albeit with a much higher level of innovation and creativity. The developer’s main goal in creating Depixel was to retain as much of the vanilla experience as possible while also enhancing and bringing it to another level. This resource pack doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel or bring some shiny new features which is exactly why it’s so appealing to the wider audience. Once you load up the game with this pack enabled, you’ll immediately notice that everything seems much smoother. Forget about the noisy, grainy textures that stabbed your eyes during regular gameplay. Grass, stone, ores and other familiar blocks have all been modified to look more uniform. The connected textures (optifine required) provide a seamless appearance that you’ll grow to love. As far as other changes go, the armor has been completely transformed. Each individual piece is much shinier than before, and wearing a complete set gives the player a more appealing look. The mobs become more menacing – especially the skeletons – with their bared teeth and dark eyes. All of these adjustments work together to make your Minecraft experience more interesting and entertaining. Now we come to the true gem of Depixel texture pack: the add-ons. These are mini-packs that alter various aspects of the game, complementing the original resource pack. Since the developer put in a lot of work to make Depixel as polished as possible, it’s expected that some of these additional features come at a price. However, these extras are very cheap at just a couple of bucks, and the supporters get access to several exclusive pieces of content that can further enhance the game. These add-ons include:
Featured video:
- EXTENDED ADD-ON – This is one of the best on the list with a wide range of custom textures included, with the most impressive ones being the tools. All of the different tiers – wood, stone, gold, iron, diamond, and netherite – have a different appearance. There are dozens of additional features, and it’s clear that a lot of time and effort was put into this extended add-on. Some more changes are improved lava, realistic rain, animated faces for mobs, an amethyst sword custom item, etc.
- 3D ADD-ON – One of the free add-ons, the 3D models add some more depth to the blocks. For example, a cobblestone could have irregular patterns and protruding rocks, providing a life-like representation.
- PVP ADD-ON – If you like to engage in multiplayer combat, this is the one to try out. The PvP add-on makes fire less obstructive, alters GUI to be clear and transparent, and even changes diamond gear to a red color palette.
- ALPHA ADD-ON – For the veteran players that want to relive the nostalgia of the early alpha Minecraft days. The only thing that’s changed in this add-on is the foliage color – bright green grass and leaves have been reintroduced.
Besides this massive add-on support, Depixel is available for both Minecraft Java and Minecraft Bedrock. The Bedrock version has a couple of smaller add-ons too – better glass, better grass, and bordered ores. The basic releases for both versions are free and available on the official website. The resource pack has its own Discord community where you can share your suggestions, ideas, or issues. If you like to test out stuff before it’s officially released, Depixel has a weekly snapshot support so you can try it out on the newest Minecraft versions. Regarding performance, it doesn’t get much better than the 32×32 resolution that Depixel is designed in. This is just double the size of the vanilla Minecraft textures, and the visual difference that you get is incomparable. While the standalone pack doesn’t seem to require Optifine, many of the features that add-ons introduce do. For this reason, it’s better to be safe and install it before running the game with Depixel. Some people even claim to have gotten an FPS improvement compared to the original textures. Whatever the truth may be, you should really try out this masterpiece for yourself.
Depixel should be compatible with all of these Minecraft versions: 1.20.1 - 1.20 - 1.19.4 - 1.19.3 - 1.19.2 - 1.19.1 - 1.19 - 1.18.2 - 1.18.1 - 1.18 - 1.17.1 - 1.17 - 1.16.5 - 1.16.4 - 1.16.3 - 1.16.2 - 1.16.1 - 1.16 - 1.15.2 - 1.15.1 - 1.15 - 1.14.4 - 1.14.3 - 1.14.2 - 1.14 - 1.13.2 - 1.13.1 - 1.13 - 1.12.2 - 1.12 - 1.11.2 - 1.11 - 1.10.2 - 1.10 - 1.9.4 - 1.9 - 1.8.9 - 1.8.8 - 1.8.1 - 1.8.6 - 1.8 - Bedrock Edition - PE

I think the details in this texture pack are so complex. What do u think?
DeadWaffle23
I love the pack don’t get me wrong, love the textures, but there is still classic minecraft textures on the raw ores and certain 1.17 blocks such as tuff and others. please fix!!!
Yeetus
Good pack. Only problem I’ve encountered is the lack of textures for the new 1.17 blocks (even though the pack says 1.17.X)
ramensar
there are some textures that have yet to be fixed like the top of deepslate, raw ore items, but aside from that it is a great pack.
Nico_thePRO

Rodri

Angus

Logan

TheMan
How would I edit the pack so that creeper textures don’t change base on biome? I only want the regular creeper.
bowie
1.8 version doesnt work :/
Jogi
Hey, any chance this pack will get a x64 version? Would also support on patreon as this is my all time fav texture pack. :)
Voxol
One of the highest quality texture packs I have seen since after 1.9 update.
All I can say is if you want to update the ores to the new textures please make a different version with the older ore designs are the 1.17 ores look horrid.
Kaimi

babababoye
