MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT - FULL VERSION OF BRIXEL AVAILABLE FOR FREE

We've just released a new version of Brixel, and it's completely free! It comes in 64x resolution and has all the same features that are available in the higher resolution packs. You can download it on this website.

It's over a year since Brixel had its first release. The pack has evolved a lot since then - we are actually very close to making the pack complete!
We feel that the trial version that was available so far didn't deliver a full picture of Brixel and all of its cool features. We've decided to give up on the trial and instead of that - release a fully playable, free version of the pack. The 64x version gives a good overview of what to expect in the high resolution packs on Patreon (where the bricks look much sharper). Also, the 64x version has best FPS of all of the packs, which can be a game changer for those with lower-end gaming setups.

BRIXEL 2.2 - NEW CONTENT

The new Brixel release is here! We are happy to announce that work on retexturing the user interface is now complete. This means that all of the in-game menus have been "brixelized". :)

In the previous update, we've featured new graphics for the inventory, some of the containers, new logo, etc. For this update, we've focused on all of the remaining parts of GUI: in-game menus, creative inventory, and all of the remaining containers.

Minecraft features a large number of different containers. We wanted them to look different from each other - we've retextured each single one with unique graphics, that correspond with the item's purpose.

All of the new menus are built out of bricks obviously. As the bricks are stacked on each other, they create a 3d effect in the menus. Just check out the anvil - the item has its own "pocket" in the menu, end even emits a glow! We are really happy how it turned out! What's your thoughts?

The creative inventory window has its own textures right now, similiar to the one from survival mode. It will remind us that we're playing Brixel, no matter what mode we prefer. :) The main menu and option menus have been updated as well, with all the widgets, bars, buttons, etc. And there is a new main menu Nether panorama as well. Hot stuff! :)

ABOUT BRIXEL

 

Brixel turns Minecraft into world made of tiny bricks, similar to those that many of us remember from our childhood!

Each block has been given a new dimension, by transforming it into a Brixel – a cube built of many small 3d elements (brick-pixels). Those little bricks come in different forms and lie on different layers, creating depth and "mosaique" structure on the blocks. Each Brixel has been designed individually, resembling the looks and purpose of the original blocks.Brixel aims to give a unique and never-before-seen aesthetics to the Minecraft world, but still keep the vanilla Minecraft feel.

Features:

• Turn Minecraft into world made of tiny bricks. Dive into ultimate Minecraft brick experience, as never seen before!

• Optimized performance - complex geometry is simulated using Parallax Occlusion Mapping.

• Created for use with BSL Shaders v8.1+.

• Available in different resolutions: 64x, 128x, 256x, 512x and 1024x.

• Custom brick sounds. The bricks make “rattling” and “clicking” sounds when they are placed, hit and destroyed. Footsteps have their own sounds as well!

• Custom items. Use the Wabbabrick (pickaxe mod) to smash those bricks! Discover other models for yourself!

 

 

The 64x version of Brixel includes the same features that are available in higher resolution versions.

The screenshots and the video show the full version of the pack, in 512x resolution, with SEUS PTGI HRR Test 2.1 shader (which is temporarily not supported by the pack).
The pack is currently WIP and in a “playable state”, which means that about 70% of all blocks are done.
Alternative resolutions: 64x, 128x, 256x, 512x, 1024x

 

INSTALLATION

In order to work, Brixel requires installation of the newest version of Optifine, as well as the shader mentioned above.

Please make sure that you follow the installation instructions that come together with your pack. Your gaming experience may be unsatisfactory if you won’t follow those instructions.
