What ModernArch is
ModernArch is a Minecraft resource pack that changes and adds textures and models. Its PBR textures are designed to give Minecraft a realistic visual style, and it supports both Java and Bedrock editions, including Vibrant Visuals and RTX. Resolutions range from 128x to 1024x; the maker says 1024x needs a high-end PC and substantial processing power. A texture atlas limit in Minecraft may prevent resolutions above 256x256 from loading. The 128x version is free, and Patreon memberships are listed at 15 DKK a month for Sapling Support, 45 DKK a month for Oak Edition, and 70 DKK a month for Acacia Elite, each plus VAT. A subscription provides 30 days of update access, while downloaded versions remain available afterward. The pack is under development and receives weekly content updates. Shaders are optional, but the maker recommends them because most features are available only with shaders. It is listed for Windows and Minecraft version 1.21.
