FAQ

Q: There are missing texture glitches in blocks and items. How can I fix it?

A: Don't fix it yourself. It will mess up the resource pack more. Instead, report it in the #suggestions channel in the Discord server. I will fix it ASAP.

Q: Why is the beta version naming scheme 1.x.x.x?

A: This naming scheme was taken from Bedrock Edition (pre-1.16)'s naming scheme for betas or development versions. The format goes like this: major.minor.patch.revision. Get more info at: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Version_formats#Pocket_Edition

Q: How often are versions released?

A: Usually once or twice every week. Sometimes I upload versions on more days of the week than on others. Usually on holidays or vacations, development is paused until I get back home. (except for Christmas if I have time) Nightly builds are released, but they also won't release during out-of-town times.

Q: What is the terminology for versions?

A: Versions starting with 'alpha' means the version is in early development. Since this is a resource pack, there will be less bugs. Versions with 'beta' in front of the version number means that it's a beta build. Versions without a 1.x.x or 1.x.x.x means it's either a nightly build or a version with an unknown version number. Usually in these cases, a numerical build number will be the version number. (Format: yyyymmdd.revision or yyyymmdd.revision-nightly for nightly builds, e.g. 20250504.01 or 20250504.02-nightly)

Q: What are 'nightly builds'?

A: Nightly builds are usually builds compiled after a certain time. Nightly builds are usually compiled after 7:30 PM Pacific Time. Builds that were created before 7:30 PM and compiled after 7:30 at that same day are still nightly builds.

Q: Why are there modern textures in the resource pack?

A: Actually, it's not about the resource pack. To get all of the old textures, use the Programmer Art resource pack like shown on the top image.
