This is my first resource pack, sorry if there are things wrong with it
It was originally intended for personal use but I decided to release it

 

All it does is add normal maps and specular maps for some blocks, armor and items
I made this because it annoyed me that there werent really any resource packs that made vanilla
blocks more reflective/have normal maps without trying to look extremely realistic

 

Some blocks like ores have not been changed due to gameplay reasons

 

I recommend using this resource pack with SEUS PTGI, which was the shaderpack this was tested on, but
it will work with other shaderpacks, although it may not look as good
