5 best Minecraft resource packs for survival

Survival is the default mode of Minecraft. It’s what the game is based upon. The player spawns in a strange, yet beautiful world, full of passive and hostile creatures, called mobs.

While vanilla Minecraft is still preferred by many, there are a ton of shaders, mods, and resource packs out there, which might make them change their minds.

Resource packs change the way Minecraft looks and feels. They make a player’s world look like an anime setting, transforming it into a hellish domain. Numerous resource packs are available online for Minecraft.

This mod makes the mining part of Minecraft quite convenient. Upon its application, every ore in the game will have a highlighted border and will be glowing to help the player find it easily.

Ores can be spotted from far away as well, and in the event that the player runs out of torches, they will be able to identify ores in the darkness.
