Overview
Stay True is a visual overhaul that aims to improve the default Minecraft textures without changing the core art style. It stays faithful to the original palette while adding much-needed variety and detail to the environment.
Features
- Connected textures for grass, paths, and stone to remove the grid-like appearance.
- Variegated foliage with multiple leaf variants for a more natural forest look.
- Better transition blending between different block types like sand, gravel, and grass.
- Subtle improvements to birch and oak logs for a cleaner aesthetic.
- Re-colored blocks that better match their surrounding environment (e.g. sugar cane matching the green of the biome).
- Bushier leaf models and 3D details for specific blocks when using OptiFine.
Technical Details
While this pack works as a standalone, many of the visual features like connected textures, overlaying grass, and custom colors require OptiFine or Continuity to function properly.
Resolution
The pack is kept at the default 16x16 resolution. Since it uses standard-sized textures, there is effectively zero impact on performance compared to the vanilla game. It is designed to look like the base game, just more polished.
Compatibility
Stay True is compatible with most Minecraft versions from 1.14 up to the most recent release. It works best when placed at the top of your resource pack list. It should also be compatible with most "vanilla-plus" mods, though any mod that adds new blocks will use their default textures unless a compatibility patch is used.
