You need the LATEST versions of Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features to use this pack. These are client-side mods that are available for both Forge and Fabric!
(Optifine is also usable)
Alternate restores scrapped, test, and unused textures, letting you experience parts of Minecraft’s development history that normally go unseen, all while staying true to the vanilla style!
Many textures exist in Minecraft’s files but were never used in gameplay. This pack brings them back where possible, letting you discover forgotten visuals Mojang left behind.
This pack is currently a work in progress and is expanding as more unused textures are found and implemented. More updates coming soon!
