The Faithful x32 texture pack is the ultimate texture pack for being more immersed in the game without losing the overall feel of Minecraft.

As its name indicates, this texture pack stays faithful to the original graphics and style of each item and block of the game. However, the only difference is that the blocks have been designed with 32x32 pixel sides rather than 16x16 pixels.

This brings so much more definition and brilliance to the game, allowing players to feel increasingly more immersed in the gameplay without losing sight of what the game truly is and looks like.
