Overly Optimized 🚀

A mixed-resolution resource pack designed for maximum performance! ⚡

Common blocks use ultra-low 4px textures (some even lower), while select detailed blocks and items get 8px where needed. It stays faithful to vanilla Minecraft's look, but those tiny 4px sprites give off adorable Game Boy-era pixel vibes 👾

Key Features

- 🔥 Extreme optimization: drastically reduced texture resolutions for common blocks

- 🖼️ Mixed resolutions: 4px base with selective 8px upgrades for clarity

- ❤️ Vanilla-friendly style with a charming low-res twist

- 🔗 Best paired with **Simply Optimized** for even greater performance gains

Recommended Setup

Join the Discord server to download a custom **Prism Launcher** instance called "Overly Optimized" — it's a suped-up version of Simply Optimized, with extra performance tweaks! 💻

Status

🔨 This is a work-in-progress resource pack. Not all textures are finished yet, but it's fully playable and already delivers a noticeable FPS boost.

I made this pack because I love pushing optimization to the absolute limit 🛠️ and wanted to help players running Minecraft on potato PCs 🥔. If you're struggling with low FPS, I hope this helps you enjoy the game more smoothly! 😊

I wanted an 8x8 pack to get more FPS, and this one is one of the best

Almost forgot rough road map, I plan to shrink every block texture, I don't have current plans to mess with item textues, then after textures I'm open to model optimizations, I'd like to try making leaves/etc 2d similar to flowers/grass.

Also I'm interested to see how it handles on different systems/load outs hopefully it provides some solid fps boosts. 🙏

After some testing on my vr capable machine, I can say it reasonably gave a boost of about 10FPS in busy areas regardless of client [​optimized or vanilla], on optimized client seemed bottle necked but I didn't hear a peep from my pc, on vanilla, vanilla seems to go BRRRR in empty regions, mileage will vary but I suspect low hardware may see the biggest gains.

Originally I was going to do 2x2 px for everything, but when running something like full sight
it was difficult to see, so /TECHNICALLY/ you could make an even more optimized resource pack,
but I'm aiming to retain whatever details I can while also providing maximum fps. like once you disable shading, and try to run flat colors things ain't pretty. lol
