📌 This texture pack is designed for building in Creative Mode on Minecraft Java 1.7.10 (not a mod!) It mainly features cute, modern Western-style textures, but can also be used for a wide range of builds—from medieval fantasy to Japanese/Chinese styles and tropical themes! 📌 There's also a version that recreates almost the same content as a block-adding mod! Check out the MiniaTuria Legacy release page!
Over 1,490 Extra Textures!
By using block data values and biome-based variations, you can access more than 1,490 different textures.
Beautiful Landscapes
This is a 32×32 texture pack, but it uses 64×64 textures for plants and more—creating detailed and beautiful scenery.
Cylinders & Drums
Features from the mod “Better Foliage” (which enhances natural visuals) are applied to items like pillars and drum cans.
Pseudo-3D Using Textures
By leveraging OptiFine’s CTM (Connected Textures Mod) features, you can achieve pseudo-3D effects—even on 1.7.10 where 3D model editing isn’t possible.
Roof Tiles & Awnings
CTM is also used so roof tile directions and awning patterns connect naturally and automatically.
Specular Mapping Support
When using shaders, only specific parts reflect light—helping glass and metals look more realistic.
Japanese & Chinese Styles Too
From Taisho-Romantic cities mixing East and West to Chinatowns inside Western districts—your creative possibilities expand.
How to Install the JE 1.7.10 Pack
📌 This pack includes many additional textures by making use of block metadata (data values). ⚠️ To access and place metadata variants, you need a mod such as WorldEdit. ⚠️ To render 32x textures properly and enable connected textures, OptiFine is required.
📌 Don't unzip the downloaded zip file — just drop it straight into your .minecraft/resourcepacks folder. Launch Minecraft, then go to “Options” → “Resource Packs” and select this pack to enable it. That's it!
About Metadata
Adding Textures via Metadata
MiniaTuria 1.7.10 is not a block-adding mod, so it cannot increase the number of block IDs. Instead, it assigns many textures by making use of each block’s “metadata” (data values). Each block ID can have up to 16 metadata values (with some exceptions), and switching between them makes it feel like there are many more block types.
Extra Textures Using Biomes
Metadata makes it possible to add many times more block textures than usual. But some blocks—like stairs and slabs—don’t have metadata, and we still want more texture slots for them… That’s where using biome-based texture changes to secure extra slots comes in.
It’s a bit complicated, but once you get the hang of it, you can pull out many roof textures and decorative items! To use metadata variants in building, you’ll need a compatible mod such as WorldEdit or Lot Meta Block Pack. To use biome-based data, WorldEdit is required.
📌 To pull out texture blocks using World Edit, you’ll need to know the matching meta value—and the biome name, if one applies. We’ve put together a catalog listing all the meta values and biome names! Keep it open whenever you’re building.
