In their own words
ModernArch
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.
