CWSM Modern Textures Backport

CWSM Modern Textures Backport

Ever wanted the newer look of Cracker’s Wither Storm Mod while playing the classic Minecraft 1.16.5 version?

This resource pack brings the modern CWSM textures back to CWSM 1.16.5!

And no, this isn’t just a block texture pack. The goal is to update everything from the older version that can be replaced through a resource pack.

What does it change?

The pack replaces compatible 1.16.5 CWSM textures with their modern counterparts, including:

• Wither Storm textures
• Wither Storm heads
• Wither Storm hurt/emissive textures
• Tentacles
• Command Block cage/ribcage textures
• Withered Symbiont
• Sickened mobs
• Tainted and infected blocks
• Formidi Bomb
• Super TNT
• Items and tools
• Particles
• GUI textures
• Other compatible CWSM textures

In total, the pack replaces 68 matching CWSM texture resources.

FAQ

Does this add features from modern CWSM?
No. This is a resource pack, so it changes compatible visual assets rather than backporting modern gameplay features.

Does it only change blocks?
No! That would be way too easy. 😄 It also updates compatible entity, item, effect, particle, GUI, and other CWSM textures.

Will the 1.16.5 Wither Storm look exactly like the newest version?
It will use the modern textures wherever the 1.16.5 version has compatible resources. Newer models, animations, renderers, or features that don’t exist in 1.16.5 cannot be added by a resource pack alone.

Does it require CWSM?
Yes. This pack is specifically designed for Cracker’s Wither Storm Mod 1.16.5.
