What is Vanilla Panorama + ?
Vanilla Panorama + is a resource pack that enhances the default Minecraft panorama for each update, making it more alive by using shader packs and showcasing the new features in the update. Thanks to Respackopt, Vanilla Panorama + has multiple different variants of each panorama for the different versions of the game. The variants include support for many shader pack and resource pack combinations.

The Different Editions
As Vanilla Panorama + grows, the file size of the original edition (now the Full Edition) became too large (~183 MB) because of all the panorama variants. Therefore, I split the pack into 3 editions:
This is the Lite Edition.
- The Lite Edition is just a normal resource pack without Respackopt support; it only offers the default variant for the downloaded version. This makes it very small, at 3–8 MB.
- The Standard Edition is in the middle and offers all the variants for the downloaded version. Its file size is medium compared to the Full Edition, but still quite large at 30–80 MB.
- The Full Edition is the complete collection of ALL the variants created for Vanilla Panorama +, but its current size is 183 MB.
Version Support
Currently, Vanilla Panorama + supports versions 1.21.1+, but only includes custom panoramas for 1.21.11+, although custom panoramas for 1.21.1+ are planned and will be added eventually. Below is a table showing all supported versions.
| Versions | Support Status | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1.20 and older | 🟥 Not Supported | |
| 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6-1.21.8, 1.21.9 | 🟨 Supported (No Custom Panoramas Yet) | |
| 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.2 | ✅ Fully Supported with Custom Panoramas | 26.1 and 26.2 have missing textures in the Barebones/Faithful variants because the resource pack is not up to date. |
| All Future Versions (26.3+) | 🟨 Upcoming versions are a priority, but I cannot guarantee they will be supported. |
Contribute to the Project!
We are open to contributions! Here is our GitHub and we have a Separate Repository for all assets and guides, so you can build your own custom panorama without Respackopt to switch between them, or simply contribute to the project. If you want to use this project in a modpack or fork it, please link this Modrinth page or our GitHub for credit. Finally, we have this Google Sheet to track the progress of the design, building, rendering, and packaging of new panoramas.
