Default HD 512x Minecraft Texture Pack

patreon.png discord.png 

Default HD is the normal Minecraft experience but in amazing 256x HD. This pack is different from the rest with its smooth shading and shadows! Gives a shaders feel without the awful performance hit!

I originally created this pack as there was no real/definitive default experience in HD with better shading. This keeps the original style and pixels, just shaded and in HD. Back when I made this back in 2015, it was an instant hit, and I kept it up to date until 1.8 where I then took a hiatus from the community, however, I am back and better than ever and want to give you what the want and request. After countless people asking me to update this pack, I am finally doing it!

This is the demo/alpha version of the 256x version of the pack. It has a handful of textures at the 256x resolution for you to test out and see! The beta on Patreon has much more done and is updated far more often, so if you like what you see I recommend checking it out!



New PBR Mapping!

 

Please consider becoming a patron to help me along the way with the pack. Means the world to me and allows me to dedicate more time to the progress of the texture pack. I also have a Discord Community dedicated to the project you are more than welcome to join!
