ModernArch is a Minecraft resource pack that changes and adds textures and models. It uses PBR textures for a realistic visual style and works with Java and Bedrock, including Vibrant Visuals and RTX. Listed resolutions are 128x, 256x, 512x, and 1024x; the 128x version is free. The maker says 1024x requires a high-end PC and substantial processing power, while Minecraft's texture atlas limit can prevent resolutions above 256x256 from loading. The pack remains under development and receives weekly content updates. Patreon memberships are listed at 15.00 DKK per month for Sapling Support, 45.00 DKK per month for Oak Edition, and 70.00 DKK per month for Acacia Elite, each plus VAT. A subscription provides 30 days of access to updates during that period, while downloaded versions remain available afterward. Shaders are optional, but the maker recommends them because most features are available only with shaders. The installation guide directs users to install Sodium and Iris, extract the downloaded ZIP, and move the pack folder into Minecraft's resource packs folder. ModernArch is listed for Windows and Minecraft version 1.21.
Who it is for
ModernArch suits Minecraft players seeking a PBR texture and model pack for Java or Bedrock. Users considering higher resolutions should account for the maker's stated processing requirements and texture atlas warning.
