FabooPack Resource Pack 1.8.9 / 1.7.10

The Faboopack resource pack managed to amass tens of thousands of downloads in the many years since it has been released. Over time, with each update, the resource pack managed to change vanilla Minecraft in many different ways that make it look stunning without feeling too off from the original game. Amongst the many achievements of the Faboopack, the upscaled textures are the most notable. Using 128x resolution for textures makes room for more details and less boxy details. It still retains the typical Minecraft blocky visuals but with more details on the textures. Trees look better with more detailed leaves. The same thing goes for grass, flowers, and other types of plants in the game. Weapons are also more detailed and less boxy. They no longer look as if they are made from large pixels and appear to have improved 3D models.

Stone and brick blocks also look much better even when looked at from a close distance. The same goes for wood blocks, sand, gravel, and pretty much every type of block in the game. These visual upgrades are complemented by the change in the color palette. The colors are brighter and there is less noise. All textures appear much clearer and easier to distinguish one from another. Water and sky textures were also improved. There is little that has not been improved in the game with new textures in the Faboopack texture pack. Being a 128x resource pack means that it may lead to some framerate drops. Players with older systems should notice performance degradation as the resolution of the textures is 8 times higher than in vanilla Minecraft. Installation of the resource pack should be done with Optifine HD or MCPatcher since it adds special features such as new sky textures. Faboopack also works well with shader resource packs which can further improve and sharpen textures, shadows, and reflections.
