New announcement time wow imagine there being updates? First off I want to say thank you for everyone's patience and understanding with the lack of updates to our products as of late. I had been hired to do some contract work for several audio companies which ate up all my time. But...

Hello everyone, first off I'd like to say a thank you to all of our continued Patrons and supporters. I'm sure everyone's noticed a lack of posts and updates for the packs, and I'd like to give some insight as to why. Currently, I am working on a substantial audio project for a private client who's in the movie industry. With the amount of time and work being put into this by myself and many ot...

This new update brings mostly nether specific textures but some other nice improvements and features as well. I spent a lot of time doing some research on popular horror games, movies as well as phobias people have. This all really helped with the development of the new and improved nether textures in this update. For some blocks, I'll provide a little description and the thought process I had ...

Hey everyone, so with the last update I had improved the tools and weapons materials, but that was just the beginning. The damaged/weathered versions weren't updated and in general, I felt the weapon variants were pretty mediocre. That all changes now though! I plan on building a data pack that will add new functionality to Minecraft designed for Pulchra. This will allow custom crafting for new...

Today we have a smaller update focusing on mostly bug fixes and general improvements with a couple of new textures as well. As the title of this post says large ferns are finally here, took longer than I would have hoped and there are some lighting issues that still need to be addressed if possible with the custom model. This should be fixed completely in the next release for RC, now let's get ...

It's been a while since the last update so here's the latest with Pulchra! Firstly I wasn't able to get the tall ferns added yet, so sad I know. I've been testing out and getting a custom model for it ready. I promise in the next update the large ferns will definitely be added. Speaking of the next update, it will be the final one before beginning to push the updates down to the Beta and RC bra...

Blocks:
Tallgrass + 6 variants + custom model

I'm happy to announce that Polyterra is now available to download! If you don't know what Polyterra is, it's my stylized resource pack focusing on bringing a "low-poly" look to Minecrafts textures. The design and colors of blocks are kept extremely simple with little to no color variations. Polyterra, unlike Pulchra, is available in 512x, 256x, and 128x. This is because it is a lot simpler of a...

Gold tools are finally receiving an update to their textures to match the iron tools style. All of the weapon texture variants such as the battle axe, long sword, and halberd will eventually get made into gold like how they are for the iron tools! If you don't know already but if you name an item in an anvil such as "Iron Long Sword" the texture will change to that weapon style. Just make sure ...
