Minelands
What it is
Minelands is a Minecraft texture pack that gives the game’s items a Borderlands-inspired style without adding Borderlands weapons or characters. Its visual approach combines hand-drawn shapes, semi-realistic textures, and Minecraft’s familiar colors. Creator Matteo Rizzo draws the textures on paper, scans and cleans them, then adds color and shading line by line; the pack was crafted in Italy.
The free Lite download offers 128x textures and is ad-supported. Minelands Full is listed at €6.00 per month for monthly support, with textures up to 2048x, OptiFine support, block variants, customer support, and updates. Other listed monthly-support levels are 720p with 256x textures at €6.00, 1080p with 512x at €10.00, and 4K with 1024x at €25.00. Those levels list normal and specular maps, Parallax Occlusion, OptiFine features, monthly updates, lifetime access, and ad-free downloads. Shader support is labeled “Coming soon,” although the page describes a labPBR-compliant, PTGI-compatible mapping and recommends BSL shaders. The linked CurseForge listing identifies Lite as a Java resource pack for Minecraft 1.14.4.
