ModernArch vs Pastello

ModernArch is a Minecraft resource pack for Windows that changes and adds textures and models. It uses PBR textures and supports Java and Bedrock, including Vibrant Visuals and RTX. Listed resolutions are 128x, 256x, 512x, and 1024x; the maker says 1024x needs a high-end PC and substantial processing power. The 128x version is completely free and listed at free. 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. Subscriptions provide 30 days of update access, while downloaded versions remain available. The pack is under development with weekly content updates. Shaders are optional but recommended because most features require them. A texture-atlas limit can stop resolutions above 256x256 from loading. Installation directs users to Sodium, Iris, and Minecraft’s resource-pack folder.

Pastello is a Minecraft texture pack made in Italy by Matteo Rizzo. It uses stylized textures intended to remain recognizable during gameplay, with a free Lite edition and paid Full resolutions. Pastello Lite is free at 128x and includes normal and specular maps, with an ad-supported download. Full 720p costs €6.00 per month, Full 1080p €10.00 per month, and Full 4K €25.00 per month. These paid tiers list higher-resolution textures, normal and specular maps, Parallax Occlusion, Optifine features, monthly updates, lifetime access and ad-free downloads. The maker describes physically accurate reflections and compatibility with SEUS PTGI and labPBR standards. A shader pack is required for the 3D effect and screenshot appearance. Pastello requires a very powerful PC, so the maker recommends trying Lite before Full. The project remains unfinished, with textures still being added. Digital products are for personal use, and downloadable sales are final and non-refundable.
