A note on "256x": This resolution uses massive texture atlases. If you have only 4GB of VRAM, the game will stutter constantly as textures swap in and out of memory. Stick to 128x if you have a GTX 1050 Ti.

  • Game Version (1.16.5): The pack is optimized for Minecraft version 1.16.5. While it may work on newer versions (1.17+), textures for blocks or items introduced in subsequent updates (e.g., Caves & Cliffs) will likely appear as default Minecraft textures or be missing entirely.
  • File Format: Standard .zip archive. No further extraction is usually required inside the resourcepacks folder, though some third-party downloads come "zipped twice" (a zip containing another zip), which requires the user to extract the inner file.

    • This is the crucial compatibility marker. Minecraft version 1.16.5 (The Nether Update) is unique because it represents the peak compatibility for Java Edition modding. While newer versions (1.19, 1.20) exist, 1.16.5 has the most stable builds of OptiFine and Iris Shaders, which are mandatory for Patrix to look correct.
