The Forgotten Lands resource pack by Axel is one of the oldest Minecraft packs and without a doubt one of the highest quality options available at its time due to how well constructed it was. The pack altered the entirety of Minecraft’s visuals from start to finish and was one of the first packs to do so which is why it gained so much traction. However, the original creator stopped updating it after a while so the amount of users that it had dropped quite significantly. After some time, kyctarniq took the reins of the pack and ever since then has done a phenomenal job of keeping it up to date with the standards of the player-base.
The purpose of the Forgotten Lands resource pack is to provide players with a unique and intriguing Minecraft experience by completely changing the game’s visual style from top to bottom. All the game’s visual aspects ranging from the block textures to the mobs have been given a bunch of changes which is why Minecraft hardly looks like its vanilla self after the application of this pack. Overall, Forgotten Lands’ medievalesque art style coupled with the bright color palette and sharp block textures make Minecraft a delight to look at.
The resolution of Forgotten Lands is 16×16 which isn’t that high, so its textures lack the detail that a lot of modern day high-resolution packs come with. However, the good thing about this low resolution is that players can run this pack without worrying about FPS problems even if they’re playing Minecraft on a low-end PC. It’s worth mentioning that the original Forgotten Lands pack by Axel received a ton of critical acclaim at release, and the praise has kept on coming even after kyctarniq took hold which is a testament to the pack’s incredible quality.
