CoffeePBR Texture Pack

There are many PBR texture packs made for Minecraft. Of these, the CoffeePBR texure pack stands unique because the pack adds PBR textures while keeping the vanilla feel of the game. It looks like the PBR feature was added upon vanilla textures. Let us take a look at some of the best features of this texture pack.

PBR Effect on Terrain Blocks

All of the terrain blocks - including grass blocks, dirt, sand, stone, gravel, etc. have PBR features embossed on them. When using alongside a shader pack, small details on these block surfaces appear to interact with and form shadows based on the angle in which sunlight falls on them.

PBR Effect on Building Blocks

The PBR features are not limited to just terrain blocks. The feature can be seem applied onto most blocks you see in the game. This includes blocks like stone bricks and planks, that are commonly found in structures across the world.

Advanced PBR Texture Details

On blocks like redstone blocks, you can see the PBR feature taking effect in a very unique way. The smart play with PBR and red gradient makes redstone block surfaces look almost translucent, but in reality, it is not.

For most blocks, the PBR feature makes block surfaces rougher. But in the case of metal blocks like iron, gold, copper, etc. the texture pack actually makes them much more reflective. You can notice the lustrousity of these blocks in the images given above.

3D Effects

PBR actually makes many of the blocks in the game appear three-dimensional. Let us look at wooden logs as an example. The bark of wooden logs appear to be rough and rugged when light falls on it, just like in real-life. When a log is viewed from its chopped-off side, the concentric layers of wood appear three-dimensional as well.

Conclusion

CoffeePBR is a relatively new texture pack developed by MuYu_Coffee. The pack is seriously underrated, garnering only a few thousand views on Modrinth. For a texture with just a few thousand downloads, the quality, crispness and visual enhancements made by the pack is very much appreciable.

As far as performance is concerned, PBR textured do have an impact on performance due to the additional details being rendered. But for most mod-end PCs, this would not be an issue. It is also recommended to use this pack alongside a shader pack.
