Best texture packs in terraria 1.4

PRIME Texture Pack

Another fairly simple pack that you can add to the game and this one is designed to give you the original game’s experience.

Mods and packs are a lot of fun, but they can often drastically change the experience of playing a game. Some times, we just want to experience the base game, as it is. Much like the Spectacle Pack, the PRIME pack is designed to make the base game just look better. While the Spectacle Pack has some change that alters the feel of the game, the PRIME pack aims to keep that same feel while making the game look better.

The pack really gives the vanilla game a great look that still maintains the spirit of the base game.

These packs mentioned above are simple, yet they provide you excitement and interest while enjoying the gameplay.

Captain America Shield – Texture Pack

This is about as simple as you can get with a Texture Pack, but our inner-comic nerd couldn’t resist adding this to our list.

The change to the game is very small: replace the “Sergeant United Shield” with Captain America’s iconic shield. That’s it. It’s a small change, but if you’re like us, you still love just having the shield on your character. Sometimes the simplest things can be what gives you the most fun.

All of these packs are simple, yet they can bring some really interesting changes to the game. They may look rather small on the outside, but when you’re in them, you can notice just how much their small changes add up to big changes.

As the developer notes, what started out as a simple alteration to the game’s colors turned into a bigger overhaul of how the game looks. The pack takes the original, dreary color of the sky and adds more color variation, which gives more depth than before as well, giving the game a much more vibrant feel during the day.

The pack also gives more detail to the sun, refines the look of water, and gives a more vibrant and detailed look to many backgrounds in the game.

If you wish to add an icon to the pack, you will require an image and edit your image according to your wish to rename the image to .png and paste it in the folder. The image can be of any size, but it is recommended to have 512 pixels or less.

Edit the name with the name of your pack, and remember you are the author. Also, provide the description. Zip the file. Zip the Content and Pack.JSON. Into a .zip and name it. The order should be in the following format:

• Pack.zip
• pack.json Content and icon.png
• Sounds Images Fonts
• .png, etc.

Place the .zip into the game, and you can do it by opening the Terraria game folder, going towards texture packs, and clicking the open folder. Otherwise, the manual process is by going to Documents\My Games\Terraria\ResourcePacks and paste the .zip file in here.
