Pastello
What Pastello is
Pastello is a Minecraft texture pack with stylized textures intended to stay recognizable while you play. Its free Lite plan provides 128x textures with normal and specular maps. Paid Full versions add higher resolutions: 256x at 720p, 512x at 1080p, and 1024x at 4K. The Full plans include normal and specular maps, Parallax Occlusion, Optifine features, monthly updates, lifetime access, ad-free downloads, and monthly support. They cost €6 a month for 720p, €10 a month for 1080p, and €25 a month for 4K. The maker describes physically accurate reflections and crisp normal maps, and lists compatibility with SEUS PTGI and labPBR compliance. A shader pack is needed for the 3D effect and screenshot appearance. The maker recommends trying Lite first because Pastello requires a very powerful PC. The project remains in progress, with textures still being added. The pack is not an official Minecraft product and is not approved by or associated with Mojang. Downloadable sales are final and non-refundable; digital products are restricted to personal use.
