True Classic

True Classic faithfully recreates the 1.6 / 1.12 aesthetic in modern versions of Minecraft

A village in vanilla 26.2 vs 26.2 with True Classic:

Why 1.6 and 1.12?

There’s already plenty of resource packs (like Golden Days) that bring the feel of beta Minecraft to the latest versions, but the older release 1.x versions of Minecraft have such a unique and special feel!

The graphical style of Minecraft is very similar in 1.0 through 1.6.4 and in 1.7 through 1.12.2, minus some minor fog and biome blend differences.

This project captures both styles and allows you to toggle between them

Dependencies

True Classic must be used on top of the base Programmer Art

For the authentic 1.6 experience, set your mipmap levels to 0 in the video settings!

Note: I have found that you may need to press F3 + T an additional time once in the game in order for the effects to apply properly

Polytone: required in order for the fog, water colors, and pack configuration to work (so basically everything!)

Entity Model Features: not needed, but highly recommended!

Entity Texture Features: not needed, but highly recommended!

Compatibility

True Classic was built to be highly compatible with Sodium, so it does not contain any shaders.
