Part of Minecraft’s charm has always been its simple, blocky, pixelated aesthetic. With more items than ever, and some retextures over the years, vanilla Minecraft looks slightly less grassroots than it did in its early days. However, that elementary appeal remains. That said, over ten years on from those early days, it can be nice to change things up a bit, and Minecraft can look absolutely incredible with the addition of texture packs and shaders. Where shaders affect things like lighting, shadow, and color, texture packs alter the actual textures of the blocks and items around you, so the options are almost endless. Here, we’ve compiled a list of the coolest and most beautiful texture packs for both Java and Bedrock editions for 1.21.11. Do note that, while some of these may not be completely up-to-date, they can still be used in the latest Minecraft version, they just might not run entirely as intended.
