Minecraft is one of those timeless games that always seems to stay in the spotlight, especially thanks to the continued support and updates from the developers. While some updates make strange changes, like removing the mention of Notch from the game, others change how things look in the game. But if players want to really change the appearance of the classic game, they turn to texture packs. While a fair number of texture packs are available as DLC on console, PC players have almost endless options at their disposal. However, one texture pack is gaining a lot of attention due to how beautiful it makes the classic blocky game.

The breathtaking texture pack in question is Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders, or SEUS as it's commonly called. The developer, Sonic Ether, has completely revamped how Minecraft looks. While mods have the ability to change or add things to the game, like the disturbing Momo Suicide Game mod, this texture pack simply adds new rendering systems and textures to make the game unbelievably beautiful. Unfortunately, to run Minecraft on PC with this texture pack installed, it would require some powerful hardware. One fan on Twitter reported a framerate ranging from 25-40 FPS on the highest settings using an i9-9900k and a GTX 1070 Ti.

Beefy hardware aside, fans can download the latest build of SEUS at Sonic Ether's Patreon page, where he posts regular updates on how the texture pack is coming along. To say that this texture pack is a cut above the rest is perhaps a bit of an understatement. HD texture packs have been around for Minecraft since its inception, but the path tracing and lighting techniques used in this one are unparalleled.

Minecraft mods and texture packs have become a staple to the Minecraft experience, especially on PC. From Pokemon recreated in Minecraft to sending Steve to Space, modders can do a lot to make Minecraft an entirely different game. Texture packs go a long way to change the experience for some, and Sonic Ether's texture pack makes Minecraft look like it was rendered in the Unreal Engine. Hopefully SEUS will keep thriving so more players can make their copy of Minecraft look this good.

Minecraft is out now for numerous platforms.
