This 3D resource pack will appeal to those players who are looking for ways to make good changes to the surface of blocks, mobs and vegetation! First of all, it has a smoothing effect for simple blocks that generate the surface of chunks. Additionally, there are many color changes for both tree blocks and bushes, lianas and other micro-components in most biomes. The author also changed the appearance for the villagers, so that it now looks in harmony with the buildings surrounding them.

Not actually updated for 1.15. I tried this pack after many hours of Excalibur 1.14 beta 2, and there are some differences (such as new paintings and stone brick walls, I noticed these the most) but 1.15 exclusive blocks were not updated, mainly beehives, honey, honeycomb, and bees. It also didn’t do anything for the painting transparency changes in 1.15, so many of the paintings (like the
“pots and pans” one and the papers/flyers) are now unusable.

This seems to be broken. Double chests are in their natural Minecraft texture but single chests are in the proper Excalibur texture and the enchanted effect on armour and weapons seems weird as well.
