Nostalgia Goggles

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

Minecraft 1.20.4–1.21.1Newest
Minecraft 1.20–1.20.3

⬇ Download for 1.20.4–1.21.1 ⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.3

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Nostalgia Goggles is a Programmer Art continuation that strives to replicate the crude-yet-charming quality of Minecraft's older textures, while still being usable for vanilla play. It takes full advantage of textures featured in snapshots, pre-release footage, or unused textures from older versions to give an "authentic" feel.

For a detailed description of the pack's textures, see the Planet Minecraft page. (I will move this somewhere better in the future.)
