Conquest
32xHighly detailed medieval pack with hundreds of connected texture variants. Features an accompanying resource pack addon for even more block options.
What Conquest looks like on blocks
Those nine blocks are drawn straight from the texture files inside Conquest itself, at 32x. Every pack on this site is rendered in the same nine positions, so lining Conquest up against another render shows nothing but Conquest's own art.

About Conquest
Conquest, by Monsterfish, rebuilds Minecraft's look as medieval art at 32x. Conquest redraws every default texture as rugged, hand-worn stone and timber suited to castles, keeps, and old-world towns. The result is a rustic, lived-in fantasy atmosphere. The step up to HD buys Conquest real surface detail while leaving most machines untroubled.
Its own signature comes through in how it packs in extra surface detail, uses connected textures (CTM) for seamless surfaces, ships multiple block variants for visual variety, and works as an add-on to a base pack. Across terrain and buildings alike, Conquest cobblestone, bricks, wood, and thatch are reworked into weathered, kingdom-ready building materials, which is why Conquest reads as a whole rather than a patch.
Conquest targets Java Edition and is kept compatible with Minecraft 1.18 up to 1.20. At 45 MB and medium impact, it suits builders who want the world to match their work.
In numbers: 32 by 32 per face works out at 1024 pixels, near enough 4 times the vanilla count. We have 3 versions of Conquest on file, last refreshed 2024-10-20.
What Conquest changes
With Conquest active the game draws from a sharper 32x sheet. In detail:
- Textures arrive at 32x rather than 16x, so close-up surfaces hold detail the default art cannot.
- CTM variants: joins neighbouring blocks into seamless surfaces instead of repeating a tile.
- Resource pack addon: contributes to Conquest's distinctive medieval style across the world.
- 3D models: replaces flat sprites with true 3D geometry for selected blocks and items.
- Custom sounds: bundles custom sound effects alongside the visuals.
- The through line: cobblestone, bricks, wood, and thatch are reworked into weathered, kingdom-ready building materials.
How to install Conquest (Java Edition)
- 1Add Conquest, a 45 MB download, the standard way: Options, Resource Packs, Open Pack Folder, drop the .zip in, select it on the right.
- 2Conquest at 32x leans on connected textures and custom models, so OptiFine or Iris with its CTM extension is worth adding.

Performance & requirements
As an HD pack, Conquest asks for a little more video memory than vanilla but remains light. Most mid-range GPUs run it at full frame rate; very old or integrated graphics may see a small dip in busy scenes.
Officially it supports Minecraft 1.18 through 1.20; on Java the newest listed version is the safest bet, and older saves usually load it without issue.
The 45 MB download is light on memory for any recent computer; 4 GB or more allocated to Minecraft avoids stutter while chunks load.
What is inside Conquest
Counted in the pack itself, Conquest holds 25,427 texture files, 527 of them animated. On top of that it defines 2,128 of its own models, which means part of what you see is a different shape rather than a repainted one.
Split by what it covers, items take the largest share at 2,029 files, with blocks at 1,636 and mobs and entities at 938. We checked that against the files rather than taking it on trust: of 3,665 block and item textures read straight from the pack, 2,963 are 32 pixels wide, so the resolution on the box is the resolution you get.
A connected textures set accounts for 19,396 of them. It only comes to life with OptiFine or an equivalent mod; without it nothing breaks, the seams between blocks just stay visible. It reaches past the visuals as well, replacing 131 sound files.

Conquest covers 998 blocks and mutes the rest
998 surfaces are Conquest's own work and 271 belong to the game still. Leaves are the biggest visible gap: acacia and azalea foliage keep their original textures, along with hanging signs and the azalea plant in all its parts. Everything you would build a wall or a floor from is covered.
The palette shift is the second strongest pull toward grey measured here, behind Dokucraft alone. Colours sit 15.6 points closer together than the originals, which is the earthy, washed look the pack is known for, while overall brightness goes up by 10.9 points. Sizes are mixed on purpose: 942 at 32 pixels, 40 at 64, ten at 128, four at 16 and two at 256, plus 638 textures with no vanilla equivalent.

Do I need OptiFine for Conquest?
Conquest loads without it. 19,396 textures form Conquest's connected set. Monsterfish built Conquest assuming OptiFine or Iris, plus 32x art in Conquest shows up regardless.
How do I install Conquest?

Put differently: 24% of Conquest needs nothing, 19,396 files want OptiFine, 6,031 do not, 527 animate anyway, and Conquest loads on 25,427 counts regardless of which client you open Conquest in.
