OdarIs is still in Alpha. Blocks that haven't been reworked yet keep their vanilla textures.

Start with OdarIs Base. The other packs are separate downloads, and you can use whichever ones you prefer.

• 10 - Base: The main resource pack.
• 20 - Random Blocks: Extra block variations, including alternative carved pumpkin and Jack o'Lantern faces in v0.1.1.
• 30 - Overlay: Extra vegetation and surface detail on grass.
• 31 - Random Overlay: Matching variations for overlays.
• 40 - Foliage: Fuller leaves and denser-looking forests.

Load order in Minecraft, top to bottom:

1. 40 - Foliage
2. 31 - Random Overlay
3. 30 - Overlay
4. 20 - Random Blocks
5. 10 - Base

Only enable the add-ons you want. Match resolutions where available. Some add-ons are hosted on CurseForge.

Installation

1. Open the Versions tab and choose your resolution.
2. Move the downloaded .zip file into your Minecraft resourcepacks folder. Do not extract it.
3. In Minecraft, open Options > Resource Packs and enable OdarIs.
4. If you're using add-ons, place them above Base in the order shown in the previous section.

Compatibility

• Edition: Minecraft Java Edition.
• Mods: The Base Pack doesn't require OptiFine or any other mod.
• Shaders: Optional. Some lighting, transparency, and weather effects may look different depending on your shader pack.
• Game versions: See the Versions tab for listed compatibility. The absence of a compatibility warning doesn't mean every effect has been tested on every version.

Performance

Higher resolutions need more video memory, particularly with shaders or high render distances. If you're unsure where to start, try 128x or 256x and move up from there.

How Early Builds work

I release development builds to Patreon supporters first. They can include new textures, previews, work in progress, and updated add-ons. Supporters also get access to private Early Access channels on Discord.

What's public right now

Alpha 0.2 includes Early Builds #01-#03 and the Halloween Special (#06). Early Builds #04 and #05 are still part of Patreon Early Access, so their textures aren't included in this public release.

Public releases will remain free. Patreon is there for anyone who wants to support the work and follow development more closely.

I started OdarIs because I wanted Minecraft to look a little richer without replacing its original art direction. Part of the idea goes back to the cancelled Super Duper Graphics Pack. I kept thinking about it and eventually decided to try making something myself.

Most of the work is in the details: making textures, testing them in-game, checking how they tile, and making sure something that looks great at 2048x still works at 64x or 32x. I also go back and redo older textures when I think they can be better.

It's a long-term project, and I'm building it a little at a time.
