About Chroma Hills
A medieval pack at 128x, Chroma Hills is the work of SycloneSJS. In Chroma Hills the default art gives way to rugged, hand-worn stone and timber suited to castles, keeps, and old-world towns, and Chroma Hills's worlds take on a rustic, lived-in fantasy atmosphere. Ultra resolution means every surface of Chroma Hills carries far more information than the game was designed around, and it expects a capable GPU in return.
Pick it up and you get a pack that carries an adventure and RPG flavour, uses a vivid, colourful palette, and boosts colour saturation for a punchy look. Out in Chroma Hills's world cobblestone, bricks, wood, and thatch are reworked into weathered, kingdom-ready building materials. Nothing in Chroma Hills is left on the vanilla sheet, near or far.
Chroma Hills makes Java Edition the target, covering the 1.18 to 1.20 range. Budget 134.2 MB of disk and medium impact in play. It is aimed at builders who want the world to match their work.
Each block face carries 16384 pixels against vanilla's 256, roughly 64 times the detail to work with. That works out at 3 game versions for Chroma Hills, with 2024-09-15 the latest entry on our side.

Performance & requirements
Chroma Hills's high resolution puts real weight on your GPU and VRAM, and it is at its best on a dedicated card with several gigabytes to spare, paired with shaders rather than run alone on entry-level hardware.
It covers Minecraft 1.18 up to 1.20, so aim for that top version on Java; earlier worlds tend to load it fine regardless.
Shaders bring out what Chroma Hills is designed for, at the cost of roughly double the GPU demand; a card with 4 GB of VRAM handles the combination.
Chroma Hills covers 838 blocks, at six different sizes
838 block textures are Chroma Hills and 431 are the game's. What it leaves out is doors, shelves, signs and most bamboo parts, a set of gaps you notice indoors more than outdoors, which suits a pack built for landscape.
Its sizes are the least uniform of any pack measured here. 815 textures are the 128 pixels the pack is sold at, but 14 are 16, three are 256, three are 64, one is 192 and one is a stray 120. Brightness sits 29.4 points above the originals with colours 5.6 points closer together, and 154 files are its own additions.

Dokucraft actually ships as three separate looks in one download, from bright to the dark variant this listing covers, each with its own animated textures.
Conquest leans on connected textures so heavily that walls and floors read as continuous stonework, not tiled blocks, with 3D models and custom sounds added on.
