Hello everyone! Happy 2021 (hopefully).
I'll try to make this short~
So I've tried the recommended resource packs on LOTC, but none of them really fit my tastes. There are BetterRPItems (which I believe is for the crafting system since all the tools look the same in vanilla), but some people have had problems with installing Optifine. Plus, it is ONLY for tools. Not blocks.
Secondly, there is Conquest and John Smith Legacy. But personally for me, Conquest lagged my game a lot, and I'm not decked out with enough gamer girl equipment to sustain it. I want to be able to play with shaders (only lite tho rip) and not have my render distance be so screwed. As for JSL, I was simply not a huge fan of the bold, semi-realistic, and scratchy textures. It took away the feel of Minecraft for me (as with most medieval resource packs). Long story short, it looked ugly to me, and I didn't want to play with it in the long-run.
So if you're also running into problems or are just picky like me, then an alt resource pack I highly recommend is MYTHIC. It's a pixel art pack that I think stays true to Minecraft, but incorporates a better and adventurous feel like from a fantasy game. The items in the pack are also *CHEF KISS* and most of the textures have such personality to them. It's not too realistic— it's not too ugly— it's not too vanilla. The blocks are also an improvement and (imo) looks similar to other medieval packs— except it is more cleaner, simpler, and cute.
#notsponsored. I really like this pack and think it deserves more justice. It's just really cute to me.
