It uses some of the features in Optifine to make certain things work. The Patrix resource pack is recommended to be used with Optifine HD. Most resource packs usually replace around 30% to 50% of the textures in Minecraft. Using various tools to automate some of the work allowed Patrix to introduce photo-realistic textures for the entire game. This makes it possible to use Patrix with existing maps without making them look weird.

To ensure that the game does not look too different, the developer used procedural color-matching so that the new textures have similar colors to the default textures. Other textures were made by the developer with the use of procedural texturing. Through cropping, editing, and mixing, the textures were adapted to be suitable for use in Minecraft. According to the developer of Patrix, many of the textures were derived from free stock textures, collected from different websites. It simply makes everything look much more crisp and detailed. The colors of the textures have also been tweaked so that they are more vibrant and easy to distinguish. Having a higher resolution allows for more details to be cramped in the same texture. The texture in the Patrix texture pack adds even more details on top of the many improvements. Weapons and certain items are almost unrecognizable due to the increased resolution and detailed textures. This method adds even more details to objects such as trees, mobs, ladders, plants, furniture, etc. Some models had their blocks reduced in size to increase the number of polygons in certain objects. Out from the get-go, it is easy to notice that the 3D models of most blocks and assets in the game were improved. All aspects of Minecraft were redone to deliver a cohesive and consistent experience. What sets Patrix apart is the level of detail of every single block and texture in the game. Patrix takes one step further as it is not just a fresh coat of paint but an almost triple A game. Certainly, there are similar resource packs that boast photo-realistic textures. It is a refreshing look that should be welcomed by all Minecraft players who are looking for a brand new experience, superior in every way. The photorealism of the textures and the added details to the 3D models in the game bring Minecraft closer to modern-day games.

The pack completely changes the visuals within vanilla Minecraft, making it an almost unrecognizable game with stunning graphics.


Very few resource packs manage to achieve what the Patrix resource pack achieves.
