Part of Minecraft's charm has always been its simple, blocky, pixelated aesthetic. With more items than ever, and some retextures over the years, vanilla Minecraft looks slightly less grassroots than it did in its early days. However, that elementary appeal remains.

Where shaders affect things like lighting, shadow, and color, texture packs alter the actual textures of the blocks and items around you, so the options are almost endless. Here, we've compiled a list of the coolest and most beautiful texture packs for both Java and Bedrock editions for 1.21.11.
