Resource Packs
Supports LabPBR and OldPBR texture formats; The default setting for materials is "vanilla", which hard-codes a limited set of PBR material values for the original Minecraft textures.
The recommended resource pack is Patrix; when used make sure to set the shader setting for Material Format to "Patrix", as it uses a special combination of OldPBR and LabPBR formats.
