Optimum Realism

Hey folks! Optimum Realism R4.1.0 is finally up for grabs. The biggest update is on the Bedrock version of the texture pack, which is now fully Vibrant Visuals-compatible. Many changes were made to the Vibrant Visuals version of the texture pack. An entire fleet of blocks was reworked just to functi

This affects how we proceed with development for the next 3-4 months. This will help Optimum Realism provide better support for both Java Edition and Bedrock.

You've been a significant front to Optimum Realism growing into what it is. Your support is a real part of why it got here in the first place. Now there's a way to help take it further.

Hey folks! I'm back with this month's update, with tons of new epic changes that have been made. Most of them were altering existing textures. This is a huge update, with mostly quality of life changes across the board, but with a few brand new textures as well. Bedrock also got some changes as well

Hey everyone! This month's update is live, and it's a big one: custom spider and cave spider models, plus a major rework pass focused on making vanilla builds blend more naturally. This month, I built fully custom geometry for the spider and cave spider, the first time we've gone custom on. THE BIG

For years now, a ton of you people hate how my downloads are channelled through Mega, a file hosting service based in New Zealand. I didn't have a better option, and no, before you say Google Drive, know that it was never the better option. But after years, I finally have something that is the BETTE
