Updated for 1.21.4!

Older versions available for download on the Clarity Website: https://claritypack.com/#Downloads!

Clarity is a resource pack built on making the world less noisy. The textures are designed to be clear and simple. It is easy to see what things are, visual noise is reduced, and clutter is taken away. When this Is used across a landscape ... so much less nose:

Comparison of the several variants of Clarity with vanilla.

The above also shows the companion packs, Continuity and Connectivity, without most individual block borders. Even less noise, but some folx prefer to see the boundaries, so you can get any one of them.

Although visually simplified, the colors and tones are pretty faithful to vanilla. Things that look good visually in vanilla ought to look similarly in Clarity.

This is a very complete pack. Pretty much everything has been smoothed, cleaned up, and reworked.

The Clarity family has its own web site, so come on over and check it out!

One way to check it out is via my RestWorld resource pack test world, which is also on this site and my own site. Check it out!

(Note to the detail geeks: This is only 99% 16x; I have prioritized simple clean look over adherence to 16x, and for a few blocks I had to choose.)

FYI, I have been working on the 1.21.4 release, and have had versions to various snapshots. I haven't posted them because I don't know if anyone wants them, or would rather wait until the final release.

But maybe you have an opinion on this? If so, comment here, or message me. If there's enough interest I could start releasing some of these as I go along, both for this and for future releases.

Just wondering, do you plan on changing the name? There’s already a pack called Clarity, and it gets confusing at times.

I have sometimes thought about it, but haven't had many complaints. I'm pretty sure I used the name first, and then built a family of related names for related packs, so changing it is somewhat more work than you might guess. But I'm open to the idea. Do you happen to have a suggestion? One that fits with the current family scheme is best ("Concise"? "Clear" (but that has ambiguity)?

(I have no complaints about the other pack creator, just a wish that I'd gotten mine published before them. On some sites they got there first, on others I did.)

Anyway, any ideas you have would be welcome!

Sure, concise would work. And maybe a new logo to go along with it. Keep connectivity and continuity.

Also change leaves to be more… leavesy

Which particular leaves do you mean, and in what way aren't they ... leavesy? Just wanting a little more detail if you've got it.

all the leaves are too "square". literally. If you made angularish leaves it would look finer. but your choice

Just uploaded 1.21 version, including the experimental "bundle" package. (When will they decide on that anyway?)

Have fun!

This is beautiful! It's the kind of thing I set out to do with my first iteration of my texture pack like 13 years ago, but yours is far more elegantly done. May I use the model/blockstates from Clarity to make my hopper texture reflect the direction it's set to? I would credit you if I ever end up actually publishing an updated version

ETA: I love the water and lava textures. Absolutely adore them!!

That's great! It took me a long time to figure out anything at all. to do with water/lava, and when I finally said "I've _got_ to do something" it came out right away. I think it wouldn't have occurred to me if I wasn't using python to program some of the textures in the first place.

Thanks for asking, yes, the license for this allows you to use anything at all, with the caveat that -- if you redistribute your stuff -- you should mention Clarity somewhere in your release notes; here's the license summary, which is at the bottom of the pack's own website. It's _meant_ to be reused!!!

I'd love to see what you've made when you're ready!
