Or is this simple-centric resource pack got something that others just don’t? Keep reading my review and rundown of SimpleCraft 1.15 to find out!

What is SimpleCraft 1.15?

SimpleCraft 1.15 is a resource pack that loves the simple things in life. And by life, I mean everything in Minecraft (which could be the same thing, for some of you out there). SimpleCraft 1.15 does away with the game’s more detailed textures and replaces the whole thing with minimally-designed and simplistic affairs that share more in common with ambient focused packs.

What is SimpleCraft 1.15 like to play with?

SimpleCraft 1.15 is a fantastic resource pack for players who enjoy simplisticity, and I simply had a great time playing with it. The pack highlights Minecraft’s strengths as an inherently simple game from a design point of view. The game’s blocky world lends itself incredibly well towards an art style that doesn’t focus too much on imposing details and busy texture designs. Instead, the pack focuses on the kind of art style that independently developed games are well-known for, and with Minecraft’s humble beginnings as a one-man operation, the switch back to a more simplistic art style not only feels natural, but like we are being given the chance to turn back the clock.

The textures in SimpleCraft 1.15 are great to look at, which is obviously an important factor when it comes to resource pack design. Many blocks have been transformed into simple blocks of solid colour, featuring no unnecessary pixely detail. However, this approach isn’t always a hit. Some new textures leave more of an impact than compared to others, and I found that the success of the pack overall varies depending on your graphical settings. Players with lower setting enabled may not enjoy the simplicity of the pack without the game’s more performance intensive lighting settings maxed out. Otherwise players might be left with their Minecraft worlds looking more like something out of pre-alpha than Minecraft in 2020.

With that said, this pack still has a fantastic approach to resource pack design, and if you’re a person who enjoys packs that use a stripped back method to texture creation, SimpleCraft 1.15 is a fantastic option for you.
