Texture packs are one of the aspects of Minecraft that make it incredibly unique. These are, as their name suggests, third-party packs of custom textures that can be loaded instead of the vanilla game textures. One of the most common kinds of texture packs out there are medieval texture packs, which aim to bring the game's aesthetics back to this rustic period.
Here are the best medieval texture packs available to players, along with what makes them so fantastic.
10 of the best Minecraft medieval texture packs available as of 2024
1) Alacrity
Chart New Territories with the ultimate Minecraft Seed Generator!
Alacrity goes against the typical medieval Minecraft texture pack trends by increasing the saturation of many different Minecraft blocks. For example, plants are a richer green, stones have more pronounced blue tones, and other colorful blocks are brighter and have more pop to them. This combines with Alacrity's better-updated, cleaner textures to make one of the best medieval texture packs out there.

2) Excalibur
Excalibur as a texture pack features flatter, more desaturated colors, as with many other medieval texture packs. This leads to many Minecraft builds and structures feeling older and more rustic. This aged aesthetic is further enhanced by the more detailed, messier textures, which really add to the medieval feel of the pack.
3) MYTHIC
MYTHIC stands out from other medieval texture packs, thanks in large part to the smoother, more adorable item textures it has. Regular blocks also have a much cuter look to them, which contrasts quite well with the truly creepy and terrifying hostile mobs, such as wardens and pillagers, that are found in the pack. Each of Minecraft's armor sets has also been given a very unique look.
4) COVEN
COVEN is a texture pack that goes up all the way up to 512x512 for supporters. It stands out from most other HD texture packs as it focuses on a medieval aesthetic rather than a modern one. These stunning HD visuals can be further enhanced with Minecraft shaders, which make the game look even better and more realistic.
5) Derpswen
Derpswen is a gorgeous texture pack that features softer textures along with desaturated cool colors and more saturated warm tones. This creates quite an interesting dichotomy between warm and cool-colored blocks that is fun to build with. The simplistic textures are also quite adorable. Different hostile Minecraft mobs have very detailed updated textures that add to their terror.
6) Majestica
Majestica features very desaturated colors across all blocks. Even normally bright blocks, like wool, concrete, and terracotta, are considerably less colorful. This makes Majestica stand out from other medieval resource packs, even if the textures featured are more detailed and grungier, like many other rustic packs.
These changes all combine to make Majestica one of the best medieval texture packs available to players, and it is further enhanced by a new custom UI and item sprites.
7) Dokucraft Dwarven
Dokucraft Dwarven features a full set of new, more detailed, and realistic textures. Unlike many other medieval texture packs, Dokucraft Dwarven leaves the saturation levels of most colors the same. This results in the texture pack feeling strangely vanilla, despite its totally different visual style. There are also new interfaces for different workstations that enhance the pack's medieval immersion.
8) John Smith Legacy
John Smith Legacy features more detailed textures, many of which have been made to look grimier and dirtier. Most colors across the different textures have also been desaturated, as is the case with many medieval texture packs. This makes the game feel more realistic and less cartoonish. It also enhances the medieval aesthetic that the new and updated textures create.
9) Wayukian
Wayukian does what many medieval texture packs do. Minecraft stone and wood types have less saturated textures, making everything feel more rustic. Other colorful blocks, however, have been left alone and are just as colorful as always.
Minecraft villagers look like medieval peasants, and hostile mobs have also been made much more grotesque. This is a very common trend across medieval texture packs, with Wayukian being one of the best examples of this trend. These factors all combine to make this one of the best rustic-style texture packs a player could pick.
10) OzoCraft
OzoCraft is another texture pack perfect for those who enjoy working on large-scale Minecraft castle builds. The different stone and wood textures seen in the pack are particularly great. Even the different natural block textures have been enhanced and improved to feel more realistic in a very rustic and medieval way.
