Evol’s 3D Cactus Overhaul

Evol’s 3D Cactus Overhaul

Welcome to the first BETA release of Evol’s 3D Cactus Overhaul! This resource pack aims to bring new life and depth to the deserts of your Minecraft world by replacing the vanilla cactus model with five unique, 3D variants.

These new models are designed to combine randomly when placed, creating tons of different-looking cacti that make your desert biomes feel more natural and visually diverse.

🌵 Features

• 5 New 3D Cactus Variants: Replaces the flat, boring cactus with five distinct 3D models.
• Randomized Stacking: Cacti will randomly combine these variants as they grow, ensuring no two cactus clusters look the same.
• New Flower Pot Variants: The base flower pot now has its own set of 3D variations.
• New Potted Cactus: The potted cactus has also been given a new 3D model to match the overhaul.
• Shader Support: Includes initial LabPBR textures (Specular, Normal) for use with compatible shaders.

⚠️ Beta Notice – v0.1.0

This is the very first public beta release. The models and textures are still a work in progress! You may encounter some visual quirks.

Future updates will include:

• More cactus variants to increase randomization.
• Cleaner, more optimized models and textures.
• Improved and more carefully thought-out LabPBR shader maps.
