I'm not really a mod person in Minecraft, tbh. I don't mind a few mods with friends! Like, the one where one person sleeps and the night cycle changes for everyone, or the one that gives you XP and you can level up mining, lumberjacking, fishing, etc. But mostly I prefer the vanilla experience.
This texture pack is the best! XD It's Pure BDCraft's Vanilla texture pack and even though I've tried a couple of different ones, I always go back to this one.
I'm all about using mods when they are subtle, adding certain things to the game that improve gameplay, those you mentioned are very good examples! There is also a very good one that gives all kinds of functions to villagers, creates new types of villages and dungeons, it's one of my favorites. Thanks for the name of the texture pack, next time I get to play Minecraft I'll try mixing it with a shader to see how good it would be. 🙀
