Top 20 TEXTURE PACKS of the Month for Minecraft! | January 2023

Throughout 2023, I’m going to be  showcasing the latest Texture Packs   that are released each month. If you  like the look of any of these packs,   then you can find their download links in the  description below. Each time a video is released,  

They’ll be covering packs from the previous month,  so all of these Texture Packs were published   throughout December. And I recorded the entirety  of this video on the latest version of Minecraft. Kal has released a few themed texture packs  so far, and a new one has been published,  

Which is Kal’s Grimdark Viking Pack. With it, you  can change the appearance of all your tools and   Swords, giving them a Viking theme. The Totem  of Undying has been turned into a Runestone of   Protection, and the Trident is now a Stormhammer.  Though one of the coolest features is the Shields,  

Which have 10 different styles, which can all be  achieved through renaming, and they’re circular.   Some other changes also come to  Bows, Shears, and Fishing Rods. Chess is a simple pack and allows you to rename  Bone Blocks into different Chess pieces, which can  

Be both black and white. Then they can be placed  inside an item frame, and you’ll probably want   an invisible Item Frame Texture Pack to work  alongside it. While they make great decoration   pieces, they could also be used to play a game of  Chess, though it would require a bit of effort.

This Texture Pack will cause the  Overworld to look like the Deep Dark.   It will change most aspects of Minecraft,  including mobs, sky boxes, lighting,   and more. It definitely gives a new feeling to the  game, and it feels like you’ve entered the Upside  

Down in Stranger Things, as most of the Overworld  structures and terrain are still recognizable. The Medieval Cart Texture  Pack will change Donkeys,   causing them to drag a small wooden cart  around with them, which carries a Chest.   This texture is only activated when  a Chest is placed on a tamed Donkey,  

And the wheels even spin, which makes for  some great details. The cart has 2 wheels,   but another one with 4 wheels is available,  though it’s locked behind the developer’s Patreon. Party Pups is a huge pack, adding over  a hundred different naming options for  

Wolves. You can even rename them so  that there are both Skeletal and Zombie   Variants. When it comes to the available  breeds, your options include Labradors,   Wiener Dogs, Jack Russells, Huskies,  Golden Retrievers, Dalmatians, Bull Dogs,   and a lot more. The Vanilla untamed Wolf is  mostly the same, with a few extra variants.

An overhaul pack is Consistently Cubed,  which the developer says gives Minecraft   a more cartoon-like and fun feeling. It’s  marked as one hundred percent complete,   and it looks great in-game. I think it  also gives Minecraft a retro feeling,  

And I’ll show a few more clips from this pack so  that you can see what it offers. Even though this   list is themed around Java, this texture pack  is also available on the Bedrock Marketplace. If you’ve seen the Animation vs. Minecraft  Series, then you might be familiar with the  

Command Staff. This Texture Pack adds it  into the game as a rename option for the   Netherite Axe. But for a bit of role-playing,  you might like this if you’re a server admin. Another overhaul comes with the Tectonic pack,  which also gives Minecraft a more simplistic  

Appearance, even though I think the textures  look crisper. When looking at the properties   of some of the textures, they seem to be 16  by 16 in size. The pack is mostly complete;   there are just some textures that still have their  Vanilla look, like some different blocks and mobs.  

And once again, I’ll show you a few more clips, so  you can see if this is a pack you want to try out. This Texture Pack will add over 40 different  Hats into Minecraft, which can be obtained  

By renaming and equipping Carved Pumpkins. It’s  one of the better packs I’ve seen when it comes   to hats too. You might get some clipping  issues if your skin is using the Hat layer,   but they still look great. There are  so many options, like a Diving Helmet,  

Gas Mask, Fox Hat, Crown, Top Hat, Disguise,  Headphones, Cardboard Box, and a lot more.   And on the packs page, you can see an image  showing every naming option available. For some more Deep Dark content, try out  the Warden Pack, which replaces all your  

Netherite Equipment. It includes a replacement  for your Armor, Bow, Sword, and each Tool. And   it definitely fits the theme nicely, and would  work well alongside the previously mentioned   Deep Dark Overworld. But it is a replacement,  so you can’t keep your original Netherite Armor.

Props and Stuff is a Custom Item Texture Pack,  meaning it adds new decorative blocks which can   be obtained through renaming. And they are purely  decorative, as you will just be renaming items   like Planks or Wool to obtain them, and then  placing them in Item Frames, so you’ll even be  

Able to walk through them. But included  with this pack is lots of household items,   such as Couches, Office Chairs, Televisions,  Benches, Clocks, Shelves, Plushies, Flower Pots,   and even items like a Nintendo Switch. There’s a  whole catalog available which shows how to obtain  

Each item. But it’s an easy way to add furniture  into Minecraft without having to install mods. After installing Fancy Foliage, one of the first  changes you’ll notice is that Leaves are bushy,   which is applied to every leaf block for  each tree type. When it comes to Grass,  

You’ll find some more variations, and I think  they look a bit more dense overall. Whereas some   Flowers have been changed, adding new variations  of Poppies, Allium, and Dandelions. In the Swamps,   Lilypads have Stems and can flower. And Dead  Bushes can spawn to look like a smaller Cactus.

You can also install Wild Plants to further  change nature, although this pack requires you   to rename items instead, as you won’t find them  naturally spawning. So these are all decorative,   and the pack requires you to rename Grass. Then  you’ll be able to create different Flowers,  

Plants, Trees, and Mushrooms, including Palms,  Biggo’s, Soul Fruit, Ferns, Hazard Flowers,   and quite a few others. And they’ll need to  be placed in item frames to be displayed. Max’s Better Mobs is a culmination of all  of the developer’s packs from the ‘Better’   series. So it brings changes to Creepers,  Pillagers, Silverfish, Zombies, Squids,  

Piglins, and more. And most of these packs were  released over the previous months; it’s only this   combination that is new. There are so many changes  in this pack, with most mobs now having multiple   variants with a lot of them being biome dependent  too. As Skeletons and Zombies will both blend in  

With their Biomes. Silverfish and Endermites look  like Ants and will roll around, and you’ll find   Pillagers equipped in some interesting outfits,  with there being over 20 different variants. It   also includes the previously mentioned Party  Pups. So if you want a complete overhaul of  

Minecrafts creatures while sticking to the  Vanilla theme, then check this pack out. Books will give a new texture to  Books, both the standard ones and   ones that come with Quills. You can also  take them into an Anvil and rename them,   allowing you to change them  between some different colors.

A New Perception brings a Vanilla plus styled  update with its texture changes. Through different   areas of your world, you might notice some new  variations of blocks, such as Cactus, Bookshelves,   Gravel, Sand and a lot more. In some places, these  changes are miniscule, and not too noticeable.  

Whereas items like Eyes of Ender, Heart of the  Sea, and the Cartography Table have been given   some new animations. While exploring, you can come  across entirely new textures too, like Flowers   growing on Grass Blocks, or Starfish underwater.  So you should have a general idea of what this  

Pack is all about, but sadly the Planet Minecraft  page didn’t give too much information on changes. By renaming a few items, you can obtain some  new decoration blocks which are designed to be   placed alongside water, like a Canal. It includes  Grass Edges and Corners, aswell as Water Holes,  

Fishing Holes and Diving Holes when it comes  to a dirt theme, but all of these exist in   a Sand theme too, which are the Sandy Shores  and Sandy Corners. And by renaming a Barrel,   you can create a Water Wheel, so this packs  perfect for a lakeside cabin style build.

Another pack to add some Hats is Hoshi’s Hat  Pack, which also requires you to rename Carved   Pumpkins. At the time of this video,  there were around 20 hats available,   and it’s been receiving frequent updates which  add more options. Currently, you can equip items  

Like Elf Ears, Witch Hats, Party Hats, a Fez,  Traffic Cones, and Crowns, among a few others.   There is a read-me file in the downloadable  zip, which contains all the naming options. This pack will add lots of useful textures  when it comes to the likes of Redstone.  

When placing down Redstone Dust, you’ll  see how much power is available. And   Repeaters and Comparators have received a  similar treatment. Observers, Dispensers,   and Droppers now show their directions. Even  when you’re underground, you can easily identify   which Amethyst is Budding. All throughout  Minecraft, you’ll notice similar changes,  

Whether it be determining when Crops are ready  to harvest or seeing how full a Composter is. Re-Pillaged brings an immersive update to  Pillagers. Now, they’ll have completely   different outfits depending on the Biome they  spawn in. And these outfits are based on the  

Clothes that Villages wear in these locations  too. Plains Pillagers look the same, but those   in the Taiga, Snowy Tundra, Savanna, Desert,  Jungle, and Swamp Biomes have been changed. If you’re a fan of Star Wars, then you might  enjoy the Star Meows pack, which starts by  

Adding Darth Vader’s Helmet. You can also get  Lightsabers which come in different colors,   by renaming Tinted Glass. And by renaming  Iron Blocks, some cool decoration items can   be displayed in Item Frames, such as  Baby Yoda, BB-8, R2D2, and an X-Wing.

This final pack will give some Minecraft  interfaces and buttons a fresh coat of paint. It   just adds lots of 2D icons in places, and you’ll  notice them most when looking at menus in-game. That’s the end of my first Texture Pack list. I’ll  be back next month with another. But before then,  

I’m planning to release a Data  Pack and Fabric mod video. So if   you want to see those, make sure  to subscribe and stick around.
