The Best Interior Design Resource Packs For Minecraft

Mining obsidian, slaying zombies, fending off endermen, building stunning structures—it’s all in a day’s work, right? Minecraft is about exploration and adventure as much as it is about building, and if you feel like the interiors of your structures haven’t been achieving the same level of pizazz as their exteriors, the right resource packs can help you take your design game to new heights.

10 Ultimate Immersion

For all you creative types who worship at the altar of Frank Lloyd Wright and who look down upon the plebs who still use their ceiling lights, Ultimate Immersion will scratch your itch for a Minecraft world that looks about as pretentious as a page shorn straight from Architectural Digest.

Whether you swoon over exposed brick accents or geek out over the grain patterns in unstained wood countertops, you’ll be able to build the contemporary home of your dreams with this resource pack installed. Just keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case your GPU decides to throw in the towel.

9 Jicklus

If you’re looking to add some rustic vibes to the classic Minecraft look and feel, look no further than Jicklus, which keeps the hyperrealism at bay in favor of a some subtly-modified blocks that add just enough coziness to your world to make you want to build a cute little wood cabin and start a new life as a humble potato farmer.

Jicklus stays up to date with the latest versions of Minecraft and is regularly updated with new textures, so you shouldn’t have to mix and match resource packs to get the look you want. Combine it with a nice, softly-lit shader, and you’ll never want to leave.

8 Dokucraft

A resource pack that got its start all the way back in 2011, Dokucraft is special for the sheer size of its texture library and because it is open source and maintained completely by its community.

Dokucraft is actually an umbrella name for six standalone resource packs and DokuStash, a repository of every individual community-built texture that’s been contributed to the project. For interior design purposes, check out Dokucraft Dwarven and DokuPBR, which are great for fantasy and realistic worlds, respectively.

7 BetterVanillaBuilding

As the name suggests, BetterVanillaBuilding is a construction-focused resource pack that features a deep library of custom textures that encompass everything from enchanted books to Elytras to biomes and mobs. And if you’re looking for some added interior design firepower, this resource pack has you covered.

With support for Optifine’s Connected Textures feature, BetterVanillaBuilding makes your interiors look smoother and more organic with seamless block-to-block transitions that really make your custom designs shine.

6 Prometheus

The interior of a large Alien structure designed with the Prometheus resource pack

Another entry in the themed resource pack category, Prometheus features a full set of 32×32 textures that turn your world into a living, breathing installment of the iconic Alien franchise. Zombies have become Xenomorphs, Sliverfish have become Facehuggers, and you, humble astronaut, must navigate your way through this refreshingly creepy and often daunting sci-fi wilderness.

This resource pack hasn’t been updated since 1.7.1, so you’ll need to download an older Minecraft version if you don’t want anything to break. But it’s totally worth the downgrade for the level of immersion you’ll get compared to some of the more vanilla-adjacent resource packs.

Get to building, the Alien Universe will thank you for your contribution.

5 Alacrity

Alacrity takes the vanilla texture we all know and love and turns the detail up just enough to introduce a compelling sense of depth without sacrificing the tried and true voxel style of the original thing. Wood looks a little woodier, flames look a little flamier, but not so much that you forget you’re in Minecraft, or that your computer starts to die of heat exhaustion.

This is another resource pack that really shines when you turn on your favorite shader. Your Alacrity interiors will thank you with that added quality of light, and you’ll be able to bask in your architectural prowess like never before.

4 Conquest Reforged

Featuring a mod that introduces more than 15,000 new blocks and models, a Java resource pack, and a Bedrock resource pack, Conquest Reforged is a one-stop shop for every fantasy-loving Minecraft enthusiast.

Live out your Game of Thrones-style adventure fantasies in this visual redesign that also has its own shader, which makes things even more immersive, if you’re willing to go the extra mile. Plus, with a solid amount of mod support, you shouldn’t run into too many hiccups along the way.

3 Pamplemousse

If your rig can’t handle the heavy-duty PBR textures of Ultimate Immersion, Pamplemousse is a solid alternative. You get tons of custom textures meant to help you build impressively detailed interiors at a much more manageable resolution.

This 16×16 resource pack won’t blow your mind with fine details, but it will level up your interior game with a solid set of design-focused textures that won’t break the frame rate bank. Whether you’re building an entire modern city or just a single-family home, you’ll get tons of mileage out of Pamplemousse.

2 Fallout Paradise

A messy postapocalyptic room in Minecraft designed with the Fallout Paradise resource pack

A Minecraftian take on the postapocalyptic wasteland aesthetic of the Fallout franchise, Fallout Paradise has all the grit and grime you need to design some positively decrepit interiors. Maybe you’re building a zombie survival server, or maybe you’re just in the mood for something a little less happy-go-lucky. Fallout Paradise has you covered.

Unfortunately, this resource pack hasn’t been updated since version 1.16.1, so if you want to play on a newer Minecraft build you might run into some issues. If you’re okay taking going back in time a bit, though, you’ll be rewarded with a visually gloomy but conceptually vibrant set of textures.

1 ModernArch

A room with a tile floor and contemporary chairs in Minecraft, designed with the ModernArch Realism resource pack

Another hi-res, POM-supporting resource pack that deserves recognition as one of Minecraft’s most hyperrealistic resource packs, ModernArch can be seen as a companion to Ultimate Immersion as far as its ability to totally transform your Minecraft experience into something that looks more like contemporary interior design rendering software than a sandbox game.

As is the case with most hyperrealistic packs, you’ll need to have some serious processing power on hand if you want to avoid debilitating lag. But that 1024×1024 beauty really shines when you glide across the glassy tile floors of your newly-built mansion.
