Feature
Over 1,490 Additional Textures!
By utilizing block metadata and biome variations, you can access over 1,490 different textures.
Beautiful Scenery
While this is a 32×32px texture pack, 64×64px textures are used for plants and similar elements, allowing for finely detailed and beautiful landscapes.
Cylinders and Barrels
The features of the “Better Foliage” mod for enhancing natural expressions are applied to cylinders, barrels, and more.
3D Expressions Using Only Textures
By leveraging CTM (Connected Textures Mod), a built-in OptiFine feature, this pack enables pseudo-3D effects even in 1.7.10 where 3D model editing isn't possible.
Roof Tiles and Awnings
CTM is also used to make the orientation of roof tiles and patterns on awnings automatically align naturally.
Supports Specular Mapping
When using shaders, certain parts of textures reflect light, creating realistic effects for glass and metal.
Japanese and Chinese Styles Too
Expand your creative potential with styles such as Taisho Romantic cities blending Japanese and Western architecture, or Chinatowns within Western-style towns.
Additional Textures via Metadata
MiniaTuria 1.7.10 is not a block-adding mod, so it doesn’t increase the number of block IDs.
So how does it manage to include so many textures, as if there are tons of blocks?
They’re assigned to the "metadata" each block contains!
Metadata usually allows for 16 variants per block ID (with some exceptions).
To fully enjoy building with metadata, you’ll need mods like World Edit or Lot Meta Block Pack.
Additional Textures Using Biomes
By using metadata, it’s possible to add far more block textures than usual.
However, some blocks like stairs and slabs don’t support metadata...
That’s where biome-based texture variation comes in handy to secure more texture slots.
It may be a bit tricky at first, but mastering this allows you to extract various roof textures and decorative items!
