I didn't want any of those fancy high-resolution texture packs in order to enjoy normal mapping and specular highlights. So I decided to make my own, based on vanilla textures.
The intent of this resource pack is to maintain the look of the original textures, with a PBR twist to it, giving it more depth while keeping a low-resolution aesthetic.
