What it is
Unity is a free Minecraft resource pack for Java Edition, described as intended for vanilla Minecraft. Its listed supported version is 1.21. The pack keeps Minecraft’s traditional aesthetic while adding subtle depth and more natural colors. Since release 2.0.0 for Minecraft 1.14.4, vanilla support, mod support, shader texture maps, and OptiFine random entities and CTM are separate downloads. The maker points shader users to Unity PBR and identifies Unity-Modded as a related project for mod support. The GitHub README directs users to builds in the artifacts list, or to download the repository as a ZIP and unpack it into `.minecraft/resourcepacks`; downloaded packs can also be placed there directly. Older deprecated versions are available through branches. A Photoshop template includes texturing samples and details. Suggestions go through GitHub, while questions can be sent to @theCyanideX on Twitter. CurseForge lists files for versions 1.17 through 1.19.4.
