VanillaXBR

Welcome to the world of smooth graphics that preserves the authentic atmosphere of Minecraft!

This resource pack is perfect for players who appreciate the original Minecraft style but want more detailed and smooth textures. Each pixel is carefully blended with neighbors, creating a clearer version of familiar textures. The effect is so organic that from a distance the graphics look completely vanilla.

Creation Technology

At the heart of this resource pack is the xBR scaling algorithm, familiar to many from retro console emulators. This method allows pixel graphics to be quadrupled in size without quality loss. Specialized image processing tools were used for the algorithm, after which textures were manually refined.

A new convenient tool called PackXBR has appeared - an easy way to adapt your own textures to the VanillaXBR style.

Handwork vs Automation

Unlike many projects that use fully automatic scaling, creating VanillaXBR is meticulous manual labor. Each texture goes through multiple cycles of scaling, layer overlaying, and manual refinement. This approach guarantees unparalleled quality and preservation of the original textures' artistic intent.

xBR is not artificial intelligence, but a thoughtful algorithm created by humans specifically for working with pixel graphics. The result is a consistent artistic style instead of blurry and inconsistent visuals.
