A simple and effective Minecraft texture pack, Botany's 3D crops improves the in-game models and textures of the vanilla game's crops. Furthermore, a few food items have their textures and models improved as well.

This pack doesn't overhaul the entirety of the game's textures, it simply renovates crops and certain food items. This makes the pack much more subtle compared to many of its counterparts, and that slimmed-down utility may be perfect for players favoring a minimalist style or those who still appreciate Minecraft's vanilla textures.

An enduring favorite in the Minecraft community, All Natural revamps most of the game's plantlife while keeping its vanilla feel. However, the texture pack does include a small amount of custom content to bring variance to the natural world in-game.

Specifically, birch leaves have been converted to cherry blossom trees, and new variants of sugar cane and grass exist as well. For crops, wheat is tinged with a golden coloration, potato plants blossom with flowers, and vines and sugarcane have been remodeled as well.

This pack completely renovates the natural world of Minecraft, from crops to trees to underwater greenery and even adding a new texture for sticks. Changes should be noticeable almost immediately, and plenty of players should be delighted with the amount of detail placed into vegetation.
