15 realistic textures in Minecraft

We've previously written an article about Minecraft texture packs, but it didn't cover everything. In this article, we will specifically focus on realism, transforming the game to the point of being unrecognizable. Also, there will be no repetitions from the previous publication, so you’re sure to find something new!

This texture pack opens our top 15 with an interesting backstory. The creator once suffered from arachnophobia until he took a closer look at spiders. This helped the developer overcome their fear and get inspired to make changes in the sandbox game. While the creator made the monsters quite varied, the animals were approached with more seriousness, striving to make them as close to their real-life counterparts as possible.

We mentioned spiders above for a reason, as the collection contains textures for almost all existing species. By the way, the author notes that by doing so, they hope to help people overcome their fear of these creatures.

Other features of the pack include:

Next on this list is a collection that will surely appeal to those users who are tired of the cartoonish graphics. By the way, the development of the collection is not yet completed. The creators are trying to bring in something new or improve what has already been made.

Entering the sandbox after installing the mod, you won't recognize the project, as almost nothing of the old Minecraft remains. However, a powerful PC is required to run it because the graphics look detailed and high-tech. Walking through the forest, you’ll definitely enjoy the views of nature, especially paying attention to the leaves and other plants.

After downloading this modification, the visual effects in the game will change immediately. The sandbox will resemble modern titles thanks to photorealism and the detail in 3D models, noticeable in trees, mobs, furniture, and so on.

When it comes time to battle an opponent, players may not recognize the weapons at first glance because they too have been transformed. Even the colors have been changed, so diving into the Minecraft world is a must to experience the unparalleled emotions from the familiar yet refreshed gameplay.

Additional Realism

Unfortunately, many realism-style texture packs require high performance, but not many users can boast this. For such reason, gamers choose sets that change the game but do not overly burden the PC.

Additional Realism won’t weigh you down with worries about FPS. The Minecraft on a screen will be painfully familiar yet altered. Players who have downloaded this note that they liked the clouds. In the vanilla version, they are square, but here they are smooth and resemble real ones. Also worth noting is the weather, which has become much better, as well as the sun, moon, water, reflections. This pack is suitable for computers with lower specs.

Project MELIOR

Another great project from the previous developer that adds polish to the cubic title. From the first day of development, the set already contained an incredible number of original textures, exceeding 2000. It seems as if nothing of the vanilla version remains. However, that's not entirely true, because the spirit of the original Minecraft is preserved.

What has changed:

We won't list all the changes so you can download the collection and evaluate everything yourself.

Cubed Textures

Some are put off by Minecraft's style. Not everyone wants to spend time in a cubic world. That's where modders come in, raising the bar of the project by changing it for the better.

Mainly Photo Realism is considered one of the best sets, downloaded by users more than a million times. This impressive figure speaks to its quality, popularity. Most of the textures here are replaced. Everything looks stunning.

Look at the sand blocks: it feels like the player has landed in a real desert that stretches endlessly. Water also looks lifelike. There's a desire to dive in and refresh, especially after a journey through the desert.

This collection has a bold name that directly tells players what to expect. It will be an updated world, almost entirely revamped to modern standards. Everything here is reworked: vegetation, building blocks, water, and much more.

If you love creating various buildings in the game, then this mod is perfect for achieving your goals. With a set of enhanced details, users can easily build a modern mansion that would make anyone envious.

Furniture will also be hard to recognize. For instance, the jukebox looks like a huge speaker. Ordinary chests have turned into drawers. The design is consistent throughout, so you won't find medieval items in a mansion.

After installing the mod, players will find themselves in a perfect world with beautifully crafted textures. Gorgeous landscapes, mesmerizing views, lots of new content. The set will further fuel interest in the sandbox, as it will be a pleasure to explore with the graphical changes.

However, we must warn that this is an incomplete pack. Some blocks remain from the vanilla version. So, if the combination of realism with cubic elements doesn't bother you, then Parfait is worth downloading.

Ayrithias

If you love science fiction with a touch of realism, then the Ayrithias mod is definitely for you. However, the set was developed many years ago, so a player should ignore compatibility messages if the version is not higher than 1.7.x and 1.8.x. 

Unfortunately, this collection is also not fully completed, but nonetheless, it will bring a lot of interesting elements to the sandbox. Fans of D&D will particularly like the pack, as it was inspired by the game.
