Minecraft player showcases unique resource pack to change block texture variation

Apart from being a sandbox game, Minecraft also supports all kinds of third-party features made by the community. Players can create resource packs, shaders, and mods for the game and share them online. Some resource packs change block and mob textures to change the game's look. While some packs go crazy on textures, others are closer to vanilla.

Recently, a Redditor posted a fascinating resource pack that adds variation to vanilla block textures.

One of the users felt that the plank textures were too exaggerated. Apart from that, however, they lauded the original poster for bringing the right amount of changes to other block textures, especially the ores. The original poster took the suggestion about plank textures positively and stated how they thought players could use double planks to make the walls cleaner.

One of the players was sad that these kinds of resource packs are not available on Bedrock Edition. The creator of the resource pack admitted that they did not know how to create a Bedrock Edition resource pack.
