This texture pack is fundamentally not designed for use in normal Minecraft gameplay – as it selects only a handful of blocks to change, and is very intensive to run. But in doing so, limits its use to very specific situations. Umsoea manages to bring individual blocks to a level of realism seen nowhere else. It accomplishes this through photorealistic textures and normal maps, complex 3D block models, and intersecting textures – all in combination with the stunning SEUS shaders. First and foremost, the intent of this pack is to push the capability of path-traced shaders (specifically SEUS PTGI, as recommended by the creator) to their absolute limit. The Umsoea resource pack takes the concept of what a texture pack can be – and flips it on its head.
