Vanilla's entity shadow texture (that dark circle under mobs) is 64x64 which makes it look pretty jarring next to... pretty much everything else in the game. This pack fixes that by downscaling it to a more consistent resolution.
It's impossible to make the shadow truly pixel consistent but this gets pretty close.
