Relatively Improved Default (Barely Default) Resource Pack 1.21 / 1.20

For players that became bored of the vanilla Minecraft experience, the Mickey Joe’s Relatively Improved Default resource pack may prove to be the ideal upgrade. It is a simple texture pack that alters the default visuals in Minecraft, offering a more immersive experience. Originally designed by the developer for his personal enjoyment alone, feedback from other players encouraged Mickey Joe to publish the resource pack and deliver constant updates. The resource pack, developed by user MushirMickeyJoe, received positive feedback for the numerous upgrades it delivers over vanilla Minecraft. Amongst the many changes, the resource pack includes new 3D models for llama heads, custom skins for villagers, 3D models for door elements, upgraded weapons, custom sky backgrounds for Mushroom Biomes and Jungles to Aqua, and many more texture improvements. The improvements found in the resource pack offer a great variety of changes that do not alter the design and feel of the vanilla experience but simply makes it better. The textures in the Mickey Joe’s Relatively Improved Default resource pack are more colorful, vibrant, and have more details. What is impressive about Mickey Joe’s Relatively Improved Default pack is that it was designed by a single user and it includes a wide range of visual improvements.

The developer worked on adding 3D models as well in order to improve Minecraft for himself and all players that use his resource pack. One important change that this resource pack adds is the removal of noise found in some default textures. Existing textures have been tweaked and improved over multiple upgrades by MushirMickeyJoe that continued working on the resource pack as a result of the positive feedback from the Minecraft community. Originally posted on Reddit in 2017, the resource pack had many iterations and updates. Some of the changes that the resource pack adds are also a consequence of the feedback from the community as MushirMickeyJoe is an active member amongst Minecraft players.

  3. glowing

    My signs are invisible? how do i fix this?

  4. b

    On 1.20 it seems like there’s white dots occasionally visible in dark areas of the world whenever I’m walking around, it’s very distracting. What could cause this?

  5. CfellPWNZ

    I was wondering if I could change parts of this texture pack but it keeps glitching, like I wanted to remove some of the zombie variants and make it so all drowned are the monster kind, is there a way to do that because I’ve tried going through the files and for some reason I can’t get it right and drowned and zombies end up with glitched skins

  6. mandaryniarz

    my animals look very weird on 1.19.2

    1. Mickey Joe

      Redownload? And make sure custom entity models and random textures are enabled in your video settings.

      1. rangajaffas

        why do i have blue chickens 1.19.4

  7. CallMeVik

    the double chest is purple on 1.16.5

    1. Mickey Joe

      The pack is exclusively developed for the latest version of Minecraft (that has OptiFine support).

      I won’t ever go back and fix old versions

  8. a

    it wont work on 1.17 optifine

    1. cards

      same, do something about this please

  9. Cats

    Beautiful resource pack! only problem I’m having is that for some reason, on the 1.16.5 version, the double chest’s texture doesnt display, and it just shows up as full white or full pink. Might be an error on my part, but idk what causes it. (I’ve tried re-downloading it from different places, no luck)

  10. Swaggy_iris

    This is a amazing texture pack all animals are so adorable, the only thing is that it makes the animals glitch really badly- i checked my internet and its not that

    1. verde

      Optifine for the newer versions simply don’t fully support all the features used in this pack yet. That’s probably it.

  11. richcvbmm

    if you want to fix the title screen pack go into the file then go here \resourcepacks\Mickey+Joe’s+RID+4.2.zip\assets\minecraft\textures\gui\title and replace the mojangstudios.png with something from the same place but from a different texture pack

    1. Mickey Joe

      Removing the loading screen is strictly frowned upon, over at Barely Default Studios.
