Top 25 Best Texture & Resource Packs of the Month for Minecraft 1.17.1!

Hey guys, this week we’re going to take a look  at some resource packs which were released   over the past month, for Minecraft 1.17.1. I  downloaded all these packs from CurseForge,   and like I said last time, I’ll be  doing a video like this every month.  

If you want to download any of these packs, you  can find the links in the description below. XEHD is a high definition Resource Pack, which  aims to create textures that look like they’re   straight from the real world. Some of the blocks  have a lot of detail to them thanks to shaders,  

Which allows there to be visible cracks and  rough features. You’ll notice that Cobblestone   is now actually made up of individual Stones,  or that Logs are a more sharp and rugged shape.   Some of the most impressive changes are made  to foliage, with Leaves looking really bushy  

Instead of just being a cube. I used this pack  with BSL Shaders to achieve these results. Enchanted Weapons will change  the texture of your Weapons,   depending on the Enchantment that’s  been applied to them. For example,   a Bow with Infinity applied will cause it to have  Diamond looking features. If you then apply Flame,  

The arrow textures will be on fire. If you Enchant  a Netherite Sword, then you might see it having   Green features to show Mending, or Redstone  for Sweeping Edge, which looks like Blood. Future HUD changes Advancement Plaques,  a mod I recently mentioned on my channel.  

Instead of being a more RPG theme for the plaques,   they have a science fiction theme instead,  which looks a little more futuristic.   Just remember that this resource pack won’t  change the advancements window on their own. TMC’s glass armor won’t be for everyone, but  this texture pack changes all armor types in  

Minecraft to glass, allowing you to see  the player’s skin underneath. There’s a   few world types I could see this being useful,  and the resource pack leaves a thick outline,   so it’s still possible to make  out what tier the armor is.

Brixel completely transforms so many blocks  in Minecraft, so that they look very similar   to LEGO. The version that is available on  CurseForge is a trial version, and you’ll   have to subscribe to the developers Patreon to  unlock the full version. And for it to function,  

You’ll require both Optifine and a certain set  of Shaders. Each texture has been individually   designed to ensure they still resemble vanilla  look and feel. Due to it being a trial,   you might not want to use this pack for a full  playthrough unless you’re willing to invest in  

The full version, as you’re going to see a mix  of Vanilla Minecraft blocks next to Brixel ones   and it might look odd at times. But when  you do see Brixel blocks, they look great,   and they have some custom sounds too. The pack  is also available in extremely high resolutions.

Lad’s Skybox changes Minecrafts Sky, mostly  by changing the stars and adding nebulas.   It’s an interesting change, and I think it would  fit well with a space exploration themed modpack,   and it should give you a real  feeling of shooting into the stars.

Findrek’s 3D Buckets and Fish allows you to  showcase your caught fish inside of item frames,   in full 3D. It should make them great to show  off your best catches to all your friends, or   just for decoration in general. This pack covers  all fish in the game, like Clownfish, Pufferfish,  

And even the new Axolotl, and the Buckets will  also look a little different in your hand.   Regular Buckets of Water, Lava and  Milk can also be placed in item frames,   and I think this pack overall would work well  with an invisible item frame resource pack.

Rail fix removes the stretched look of your angled  rails, increasing the number of railroad ties on   each piece of track. It’s a minor improvement, and  just makes it so the texture remains consistent   when it’s attached to the straight rail  pieces. It works for all rail types too.

For a bit of fun, you could try  the Yeeting a Steve pack. This   lighthearted texture pack changes the  trident model into a full size Steve,   whilst also including a few new sound bites for  each of the Trident’s previous sound effects.   Maybe you’d like it on Anarchy  servers, or for trolling your friends.

CC Levels is a simple but effective texture pack  to make your Potion Brewing and Composting life   a little easier. This texture pack changes the  default blank sides of a Cauldron or Composter,   allowing you to see the exact amount of  contents that are inside these blocks.

If you ever wish your Minecraft  world would always be night time,   then try out the Everlasting Night Resource Pack.  Everlasting Night changes the sky during the day,   so that it looks like it’s night, even  whilst still having the sun in the sky.  

There are 3 different styles available  which you can download, which are Classic,   Plasma and Ultimate, and each one will change  the sky colors at different times of the day. Enhanced 3D is a beautiful Resource Pack  that completely brings your world to life,   adding 3D elements to a lot  of the Minecraft Blocks.  

You’ll notice changes in all different areas,  especially when looking at the likes of Barrels,   Carpets, Ores, Stone Bricks, Furnaces and a lot  more. This is a great pack to make your world feel   more realistic and give it a sense of depth.  Some blocks have some new variants too, like  

Bookshelves and Crafting Tables, which can have  a more randomized appearance when placed down. Fire Improvement is useful for those  of you that enjoy PVP in Minecraft,   but it’s also just useful in general.  When installed, this pack changes the   visual impact of being on-fire when in first  person allowing you to see more clearly.  

I think this is a vital pack for anyone who  often finds themselves in stressful fights. If you struggle to find Ores in darker areas  or you don’t have Torches, the Emissive Ores   Texture Pack is bound to help. It gives Ores  in the game a glow in the dark effect. This is  

Something I wouldn’t mind being in Vanilla, and  is great for when you’re exploring underground. Sconces will make some changes to both  regular Torches and Soul Torches. Their   textures have been changed, so that they match  the Sconces provided by the Supplementaries mod.  

They look a lot better, whether they’re placed  on top of a block, or on the side of it. Rain revamp is a realism pack that changes  the colour of rain particles in Minecraft   to appear more realistic, it  removes the vibrant blue colour  

In vanilla and replaces it with a  more realistic light grey colour. Bewitched is a remake of an older  popular pack of the same name.   With this resource pack installed, some  changes you might immediately notice   are that some blocks now have 3D elements to  them, which you might notice on Sugar Cane,  

Pumpkins, Bookcases, Lanterns and more. It’s  hard to describe the style of this pack,   but it has a typical cartoon theme, with a  dark tone to it. Some great improvements are   made to mobs, especially the Witch  and Spider who look a lot scarier.

Minimalist Dark GUI is an interface  update for all you minimalists out there,   it changes the look and feel of the vanilla  minecraft UI to remove basically everything   leaving very simple dark grey  boxes and a new look hotbar,   it won’t be for everyone but I think  it’s kinda cool, what do you think?

LEGO Experience Studs replaces your  normal Minecraft Experience Orbs with   classic looking LEGO Studs, a throwback to your  favourite Lego games of old. Combine this with   Brixel which we mentioned earlier and you  can create an immersive lego experience. Furnace Reimagined is a great pack  to improve animations in Minecraft,  

Specifically on the Smoker and Furnace  Blocks. Some small tweaks are made,   like making the animations smoother or  making new areas of the blocks glow.   This pack is part of the reimagined series,  which I covered in my last Resource Pack video.

Sheep Ender Dragon is exactly what it says.  It turns the Ender Dragon into a giant Sheep,   which you’ll spot flying around the dimension. I’m   not sure why you might want to use a pack  like this, or maybe it makes perfect sense. Oberhaul makes some changes  to elements on your HUD.  

Specifically, elements like  your health, hunger, armor,   hotbar and experience bars. They look a bit  cleaner, and more medieval themed I’d say. ReArchery makes some small changes to archery  related items. Firstly, Bows, Crossbows and Arrows   have had slight changes made to their textures,  giving them a little more detail. But if you  

Have Optifine installed, you’ll notice that 16 or  more Arrows will now turn into a Quiver instead. Another pack that makes changes to a mod is  Colorized Antique Atlas. Instead of being   black and white, the atlas will now have  a lot of color, which you’ll mostly see on  

Trees. Antique Atlas is one of my favorite mods,  and it’s great to see it getting some add-ons. I really like the Overgrowth pack, and it’s  16 by 16 in resolution. It has a nice pixel  

Art style to it, but also feels like it could be  a pack used in a horror adventure themed world,   as a lot of the textures really have a grunge  feeling to them. A few changes are made to mobs,  

So they have some areas which are 3D, and I  think the Spider is the scariest of them all,   especially with the length of the legs. You’ll  also spot connected textures, new interfaces,   falling leaves and small items  which can randomly spawn on blocks.

That’s the end of our monthly resource pack  video. Make sure to check out the previous one I   did which should be on the screen right now, as it  also shows resource packs available for the latest   version, with a few interesting ones mentioned.  As always, leave a like, and subscribe for more.
