Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing great.

I’m finally back with a brand-new update for Legendary RT Textures, and this one’s big; it covers all platforms: Java Edition, Bedrock, and MCPE. It took quite some time to prepare this update across all versions, but we made it! Before we dive into what’s new, I want to share some behind-the-scenes insight into what’s been happening with LRT Textures.

After releasing the SCI-FI Bedrock Addon, I shifted focus back to improving the texture packs. Everything was going well, but one issue has really been on my mind, the performance of the Java Edition.
Because of how many 1024x resolution textures are used, performance has taken a hit. In fact, many AMD GPUs can no longer run the full pack due to an AMD limitation, and even NVIDIA GPUs struggle with achieving smooth performance. This situation made me hesitant to continue adding new content, knowing we’re already at the edge.
For the past two weeks, I’ve been focused on finding ways to optimize performance. I spent countless hours researching, testing, failing, and retrying—until finally, I discovered a way to significantly improve performance. The catch? I’ll need to refactor the entire Java Edition pack from scratch.
It’s a big job, and while I can’t take it on just yet, I’ve scheduled it for the next major update. For now, this release focuses on new textures and improvements, and then I’ll dive deep into the optimization process to give you the smoothest experience possible.
Also, during this research, I came up with a crazy new idea for a future project—something game-changing. It’s still in early testing, so I’m keeping it under wraps for now, but stay tuned!

🔧 What’s New in This Update?

🟠 Copper Blocks Overhaul

With new copper blocks recently added to Minecraft, I took the chance to revamp all copper textures—both old and new. Expect more realism, richer details, and complete coverage of every copper variant.

🟡 Pale-Themed Blocks

Thanks to your feedback, I’ve added vanilla-style but upgraded pale textures, keeping the essence of the original while enhancing realism and texture quality.

🍄 Mushroom & Bedrock Enhancements

I’ve upgraded both mushroom blocks and bedrock for a more natural, detailed look.

🖼️ High-Quality Realistic Paintings

All old paintings have been replaced with new ones based on vanilla concepts, but re-imagined in high-resolution, realistic quality. Each one feels fresh while staying faithful to the original idea.

🧱 New Realistic Block Textures

These blocks now feature highly detailed, realistic textures: Froglight, Respawn Anchor, Smithing Table, Monster Spawner, End Crystal, Beacon.

🐾 New Mob & Item Textures Incoming

Yes, it’s finally happening! Legendary RT Textures will now include realistic mobs and item textures. The upcoming wave features:

• Allay, Camel, Creeper, Iron Golem
• Zombie, Husk, Drowned
• Chicken, Sheep

They’re designed to blend beautifully with the world, adding depth and realism like never before.

🌈 Vibrant Visual Support is Here!

With the recent announcement of Minecraft’s Vibrant Visuals update, we’re excited to introduce the brand-new Legendary Bedrock Vibrant Visual Texture Pack!
Our previous Deferred PBR Beta Pack has now been fully converted and upgraded to support this new visual system, along with enhanced shading quality for a smoother and more immersive experience.

As for the Legendary Bedrock RTX textures, this update brings nearly all the blocks we just discussed in the Java Edition, plus a few extras like new armor textures and various improvements.
However, due to Bedrock’s current limitations, entities and items don’t fully support PBR materials, so they might not appear as detailed or realistic as Java Edition armor, but we’re keeping an eye out for future improvements on that front!

🔜 What’s Next?

After this release, the next major update will focus entirely on optimizing the Java Edition. I’ll be taking the time to rebuild it from the ground up to improve performance without sacrificing quality.

Working on this update has been a great experience, and I truly couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you all so much for being part of this journey and staying with me through it!

The release is just around the corner, so gear up to transform your Minecraft world with the latest textures and immersive visual upgrades. When you dive in, don’t forget to share your builds and screenshots on our Discord Server, we’d love to see what you create!
