Faithful 64x 1.15.2 – Steven’s Traditional

Faithful 64x 1.15.2 is here and we’ve barely stepped into 1.15 territory for more than a couple of weeks. Fans of this favorite resource pack won’t have to wait any longer as the creators have kindly released versions working with the current snapshots. Read on to hear if this faithful-as-ever pack is still worth your time.

What is Faithful 64x 1.15.2?

Like it’s other resolution counterparts, Faithful 64x 1.15 is a recreation of the original Minecraft textures, focusing on being as faithful as possible to the original’s feel and charm. This isn’t just for fun though, as the pack increases the texture resolution to 64x, so it can cram a whole lot more detail into those blocky spaces.

Is Faithful 64x 1.15.2 fun to use?

The Faithful series is always a fantastic option for players who love how Minecraft looks but would just like to give the game a bit of a facelift. Faithful 64x 1.15 is absolutely no difference in this regard. If you’ve used the pack before, it’s still the same textures you love, just now compatible with the updates brought in by 1.15. All the fresh and new bee content is accounted for, so no more clashing textures if you’ve been playing on the snapshots without an updated version of Faithful installed.

In the Faithful series, my favorite updated block has to be cobblestone. It shows such a massive improvement on the original design, yet it clearly displays the same inspiration and overall message the default texture conveys. Rather than vanilla’s noisy cobblestone look, Faithful 64x 1.15.2 opts for a more stylistic and frankly more realistic approach to cobblestone, with a much more rounded design that reflects how the material looks in real life.

In contrast to this, blocks like the wooden plank variants seem to suffer from the increased amount of pixels available in the texture designs. Wooden planks are actually one of my favorite blocks in the entire game, and like many others, I use them in every build I do.

However, in Faithful, I find the blocks to be far too busy with visual information and they can be distracting when placed against many of the pack’s more visually pleasant blocks. Safe to say, if you find yourself in the same boat as me with previous iterations of the Faithful series, Faithful 64x 1.15 isn’t going to win you over any time soon.

With my thoughts out of the way, players who need a resource pack that brings Minecraft up a few notches on the resolution dial will absolutely love (and continue to love) Faithful and the newest 64x 1.15 version. 

What are the pros of Faithful 64x 1.15.2?

What are the cons of Faithful 64x 1.15.2?
