You can now play RLCraft with Excalibur

📦 Compatibility with RLCraft

This texture pack can already be used to play RLCraft, but with some limitations:

If you want to use RLCraft animations through the Mo’ Bends mod, some Excalibur models, like Pigmans and Skeletons, will not work, because Mo’ Bends is not compatible with Custom Entity Models (CEM).

If you prefer to play with Excalibur models, you can do so by disabling mob animations in Mo’ Bends.

In this case, mobs will only display the models, without the Mo’ Bends animations.

🔧 Recommended mobs

For better visual balance, I recommend keeping Mo’ Bends animations enabled on the following mobs, as they do not change much visually:

Spider (will not have its fangs)

Zombie

Player :v

Wolf

Squid (will not have the large head from its custom model)

⚠️ This will not be permanent.
In the future, I plan to adapt the well-known Fresh Animations texture pack for RLCraft so it can fully support mob animations. It’s just a matter of patience.

🎨 Interfaces and visual compatibility

Currently, Excalibur support for RLCraft is not fully complete, so some mod interfaces may not display correctly.
To improve the visual experience, I recommend using an additional texture pack such as:

Stoneborn:

Stoneborn: RLCraft Edition :
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/stoneborn-rlcraft-edition

This will help avoid visual issues while full support is being developed.

🚧 Future plans and credits

The project will be divided into two texture packs:

First texture pack

- A combination of packs created by other artists.

- These resources will only be used with the explicit permission of their respective creators.

- No content will be used without permission, no profit will be made, and full credit will be given to each author.

- If permission is not granted, I will personally create the visual support needed for that mod, ensuring compatibility without using someone else’s work.

Second texture pack

- Will contain my own support for other RLCraft mods that currently do not have adapted textures.

- Everything will be created from scratch, with credit given to my work, which is why the project is divided into two parts.

Finally, when the project is fully completed, each pack will have its own independent page, but for now, they are released together as a first step.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️This project wouldn’t be possible without the approval of Maffhew, the creator of the amazing Excalibur texture pack.

This is a backport of the popular Excalibur pack for Minecraft 1.12.2, bringing many features from newer versions into 1.12.2. It includes newers texture items, custom textures, and random entities of newers versions of excalibur.

✨ Some of these features

🐺 10+ of newers wolf skins based on biomes as the recients versions of minecraft (black wolf, snowy wolf, etc.)

🐴 Updated as the recients versions of excalibur horses, golems, cats, ghasts, and more

🐄 Cows, pigs, and chickens with biome-based skins, like in newer versions

🧱 Block and item textures from newer Minecraft versions

📚 Unique book textures for enchantments like Protection, Mending, and more

💡 Emissive textures for golems, zombies, pigmen, ghasts, and more

🎨 Adaptations made to feel more “vanilla”, with a long-term goal of supporting the RLCraft modpack

🎨 Credits

All credit goes to Maffhew, the original creator of Excalibur. Unfortunately, there were no official adaptations for older versions like 1.12.2, which inspired this project.

My role in this project was solely to adapt the newer-version textures of the pack to Minecraft 1.12.2

✨ I hope you enjoy this texture pack as much as I enjoyed adapting it! Stay tuned for future RLCraft Modpack support by Shivaxi.
