⬇ Download on Modrinth
A very simple texture pack that highlights all "modern" (post 1.8.9) blocks both in the inventory, and placed down.
feel free to use the pack for whatever you like Notes:
- pumpkins aren't highlighted; remember that pumpkins on 1.8.9 have a face
- piglin and dragon head isn't highlighted
- the pack was tested on the noted versions; most likely works on older versions as well
- since beds are red in 1.8.9, only the red bed isn't highlighted
