John Smith Legacy Resource Pack 1.21 / 1.20

When it comes to Minecraft, it can come in many different flavors. It all starts with the basic ingredient, which is the vanilla version. In addition, you can add a lot of different add-ons in the form of resource packs to make Minecraft feel like a whole new experience. However, not everyone wants a photorealistic resource pack. Fall these players John Smith Legacy resource pack can offer a familiar twist on classic Minecraft. Created to add a rustic and traditional visual style, the resource set manages to keep things familiar, but in a good way. The John Smith Legacy texture pack was originally released back in 2014. After being worked on for some time, the developer known as James Stone was published on several well-known sites and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. When the developer was greeted with such success, he continued to work and released several other projects. At the same time, he kept the John Smith Legacy resources updated and continued to interact with the community. In his own words, he remains a Minecraft player and enjoys using his resource packs, including John Smith Legacy. When comparing the John Smith Legacy pack to vanilla Minecraft, it is obvious that there has been an increase in texture detail. This visual improvement is due to the increase in texture resolution. Instead of the standard vanilla x16 texture resolution, the developer decided to use x32. This resulted in an increase in texture detail, making the entire world more visually appealing. However, not all textures in the game received a visual upgrade, but the vast majority of them were reworked and upscaled by the developer. The first noticeable improvement is the textures of most objects in Minecraft. There are new textures with more detail for things like cobblestones, all kinds of ores, sandstone, clay, sand, grass, trees, flowers, crops, wood, fences, leaves, bricks, walls, doors and more. Almost every aspect of the game has been affected to some degree. Thanks to the newly added details and increased resolution, surfaces are smoother and pixilation is less annoying. A significant amount of work and time has also been invested in the GUI player. The inventory has been changed and improved to make everything easier to manage.

The crafting bench also has an improved menu. No modifications have been made to the player HUD. We don't have new health bars or inventory item slots. The resource pack adds a darker tone to the game. The John Smith Legacy Source Pack describes itself as having grim and archaic visuals. This is well reflected in how the lighting, color tones and textures were created. These visual changes allow you to create stunning medieval worlds or structures that can be inspired by real architecture typical of the time. The John Smith Legacy Resource Pack is very easy to install. Needs access to special features as some textures are 3D. It doesn't change the texture of the sky or water, but still requires installation with a tool like Optifine. You don't need to use Optifine at all because this package has standard texture support and support for OptiFine features. But again, if you want to have these amazing features of Optifine (some of which you can find in the screenshots below), you need to install Optifine. The developer has also made the resource pack available for a wide range of Minecraft versions and is available for Android, Windows 10, iPhone, iPad, Gear VR, Oculus Rift and Amazon devices. In terms of performance, the resource pack is not overly demanding. The x32 texture resolution won't cripple old systems and should work fine on most computers. However, because it adds some 3D models, it causes a higher frame rate drop than similar resource packs that use the same texture resolution. For a better experience, the John Smith Legacy Resource Pack may have an enhanced appearance with Shader Packs. While the developer didn't recommend any shader pack, it's worth experimenting to see what works with the resource pack without causing any visual bugs or glitches. However, adding a shader pack on top will certainly result in a drop in frame rate. Depending on your system, the game may or may not be unplayable, but most modern PCs should be able to pass the John Smith Legacy resource pack and the extra shader pack.
