IMPORTANT: THIS PACK REQUIRES 1.21.4 (24w46a) OR LATER TO WORK!!!

This pack does NOT require OptiFine!

 

 

 

This resource pack uses the new functionality included in 1.21.4 to replace chests (including chest boats, chest minecarts, and all chest variants) with full-block models, similar to how they looked before Beta 1.8.

 

There are a few versions of this pack:

When downloading the pack, you should pick which one(s) you want. If you're downloading through the CurseForge launcher, you may manually have to go in and pick, since it will always default to the most recent one.

  • True Classic: The original textures as they were in Beta 1.8 (with matching trapped/ender chest textures)
  • Touch-Up: Slight tweaks to the textures to make them feel a little more like today's chests (moving the latch down a pixel, closer to where it is now, and making the top connect properly)
  • Christmas: Chests are now presents (custom purple ender chest present included!)

 

Known issues:

  • Minecart chests are slightly broken (the latch from the vanilla chest still renders, not sure how to fix it. Feel free to leave a comment if you know how)
