As years passed by, Minecraft went through many quality of life improvements. While most have been focusing on features, visual improvements have been neglected. For everyone, Minecraft is that blocky game that offers constant enjoyment when played. Resource packs have been trying to make Minecraft look better. Each resource pack has its artistic direction and some are more impressive than others. Tooniverse resource pack is one of the many packs that aims to make Minecraft look more cartoonish and add a level of smoothness to the ingame textures. Fortunately, it manages to achieve this goal and with great success. The visuals in the Tooniverse texture pack seem very familiar. They were inspired by the visuals of modern-day cartoons. It introduces solid colors on textures and removes some details. Despite having details removed from certain textures, blocks, mobs, objects, and items in the game have an added level of smoothness. It is now more difficult to distinguish pixels on textures due to the increased texture resolution. The new textures can be truly considered new. It is not just a simple recoloring of textures. New textures have been added for all types of terrain, blocks, ores, trees, leaves, animals, crops, flowers, and more. All these new textures look as if someone hand drew them and colored them manually. To put it simply, Tooniverse makes Minecraft look smooth, with clean textures and with vibrant colors. Even the clouds and the sun and moon have been retexturized to have a cartoonish look.
One aspect that many players will appreciate is the added detail to icons, menu items, and inventory. It looks much smoother and more cartoonish. Icons are less blocky and are considerably more detailed. The cartoonish design of the menu and inventory system complements the visuals in the game. Tooniverse can be considered a premium resource pack due to the amount of work that was invested into it. The resource pack is available for free for players that want to try it but just in 64x resolution. Hidden behind a paywall, Tooniverse also has a 128x and 256x version. Both of them can be accessed on official website. By supporting the developer, players gain access to higher resolutions of the resource pack. This transactions aims to support the developer and incentivizes him to keep updating the resource pack. Official website is where players gain access to the latest version first, see previews of upcoming updates, and can interact with the developer to suggest future improvements. The Tooniverse resource pack in its 64x version runs well even on older systems. Due to its simple textures and optimized visuals, the resource pack is not a resource hog. Adding a shader will lead to a framerate drop. The 128x and 256x versions are more demanding in terms of resources. In the latest update, the developer added several fixes to the resource pack to make it compatible with more mods such as shaders. Before jumping on official page to support the developer and gain access to the higher resolution version, it is recommended to first try the free 64x version to check the game performance.
Tooniverse should be compatible with all of these Minecraft versions: 1.18.1 – 1.18 – 1.17.1 – 1.17
to be preinstalled, so be sure to install it.
