Winthor Medieval 1.16 – Minecraft Texture Pack

Winthor Medieval 1.16 – Minecraft Texture Pack is a newly updated resource pack for the Minecraft Nether update that brings all of your favourite Minecraft medieval-ness into the update that’s hot off the presses. Minecraft medieval packs are enduringly popular in the community, so it’s awesome that we can already enjoy our favourite middle ages content with the newest Minecraft update. Read on to hear more!

What is Winthor Medieval 1.16 – Minecraft Texture Pack?

This pack is for all of you medieval aficionados out there. Utilising one of Minecraft’s longest-running subgenres of textures packs, Winthor Medieval is a touchstone in what medieval packs should be. I’m a huge fan of olde-worlde style packs, and this one really delivers on that sense of middle age escapism.

Is Winthor Medieval 1.16 – Minecraft Texture Pack fun to play with?

Heck yeah! I had an absolute blast playing with Winthor while exploring the new Nether Update content. Never has the Nether (try saying that three times fast) looked so spooky under the shroud of moody and detailed textures provided by Winthor Medieval. I particularly enjoyed how the pack handles the new Nether forest biomes, where jagged vines climb upwards and haunted-looking trees stretch all across the landscape.

The textures here have seen a much appreciated upgrade from default Minecraft’s measly 16×16. Here we are treated to beautifully crunchy 128×128 textures that expand the amount of detail far beyond what is possible in Minecraft vanilla.

The pack is very well suited for your time spent in the Nether, which you’ll be doing a lot of thanks to the game’s newest update. The landscape and the denizens of the Nether all look suitably ghoulish and scary, especially the new strider mob, which has a terrifying new design with big bulbous eyes and pointy teeth. The new Nether blocks are also beautifully retextured to fit the pack’s general aesthetic, so there’s no waiting around for future updates to catch up with the new 1.16 content.

To say this pack gives me the willies is a bit of an understatement. While the overworld is what you might expect from a medieval pack, the Nether is really where the pack begins to shine and show off some of the moody atmospheres it can conjure up. Spending time in the Nether and being scared silly has really never been so much fun.

Winthor Medieval is a fantastic way to try out all the new things Minecraft has on offer with its Nether Update. If you really want to experience the Nether in a way vanilla Minecraft can’t provide, then this is a pack you’ve got to try out.
