What Minelands is
Minelands is a Minecraft texture pack that gives the game's items a Borderlands-inspired visual style, without adding Borderlands weapons or characters. Its look pairs hand-drawn shapes with semi-realistic textures and Minecraft's familiar color palette. Textures are drawn on paper, scanned, cleaned up, then colorized and shaded line by line. The free Lite download provides 128x textures and is ad-supported. Minelands Full lists textures up to 2048x, block variants, OptiFine support, customer support and updates. Paid levels list 720p with 256x textures for 6 € per month, 1080p with 512x textures for 10 € per month, and 4K with 1024x textures for 25 € per month. These levels include normal and specular maps, Parallax Occlusion, OptiFine features, monthly updates, lifetime access and ad-free downloads. The page describes a labPBR-compliant, PTGI-compatible mapping, but labels shader support “Coming soon.” BSL shaders are recommended. The linked CurseForge listing identifies Lite as a Java resource pack for Minecraft 1.14.4; the site says supported versions are the latest game version.
