Bare Bones PBR x128 for Minecraft

Review Bare Bones PBR x128

Bare Bones PBR x128 is a texture pack with an alternative visual style, different from the default style that Minecraft players are used to. Here you get standard x16 resolution and a completely different approach, focusing on minimalism and a "cartoonish" style. The color palette is very bright and memorable, but the changes affect only blocks. The resource pack also works well with others and offers additional features when used with shaders (thanks to PBR). Let's start with that.

What is PBR?

This is a common technology for many Minecraft texture packs. Simply put, it allows resource packs to work with shaders, unlocking their capabilities much better. In general, it does not matter which shaders you use. It includes ray tracing and dynamic lighting, which are found almost everywhere. As a result, texture packs with or without this technology implement shader capabilities at very different levels.

Changed Blocks

Bare Bones PBR x128 affects only blocks, ignoring everything else, so we will focus on them. As mentioned earlier, the author emphasized bright colors and memorable visuals. Fewer shades are used, making the images seem somewhat simpler. This is not bad at all, but rather a feature. The problem is that in the specified versions of the texture pack, there are still quite a few blocks that retain their original model, which does not match the updated style. Among these are: chests, hatches, shulkers, bells. This is a small percentage, but some of them are used quite frequently.

Conclusion

In the end, Bare Bones PBR x128 is a decent texture pack that gives the game environment a new look. It is a good approach but not without flaws. The base textures for all other aspects of the game (interface, mobs, items) remain standard, which can spoil the impression. Therefore, you will likely need a full resource pack setup to maintain a consistent experience. Nevertheless, if this is not an issue for you, it opens up a lot of room to explore the updated Minecraft.
