Kal's Grimdark Battlepack

My grim texture collection Kal's Grimdark Battlepack brings together all my work into a single package with additional exclusive features. This offers a fresh perspective on the classic Minecraft aesthetic—instead of the familiar style, you get detailed textures inspired by dark fantasy that seamlessly fit into medieval worlds. At the same time, element recognizability is preserved—gold armor remains identifiable, and gameplay remains intact.

In addition to weapons and armor from the GRIMDARK TOOLS and GRIMDARK ARMOR packs, there are unique textures for several crafting tables and decorative blocks. This allows easy combination with any other construction sets or simply enhances the appearance of your world while keeping mostly standard game blocks.

Unique features include damaged items (works without Optifine), as well as variants of tools, weapons, and multiple armor types for each material. To activate alternative textures for items and armor, simply rename them at an anvil by including the appropriate variant identifier in the name. For example:

• Diamond helmet with substring "Heavy" gets the heavy variant
• Leather boots with the word "Light" become the light variant
• Diamond sword whose name contains "Katana" turns into a katana If no variant identifier is specified, the standard texture is used.

The pack also includes custom biome color maps creating autumn and spring themed zones (requires Optifine).
