A fan-made texture pack makes Minecraft look like it's made from Lego, here's how you can install it for yourself.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Minecraft has often been called a virtual Lego simulator, and now its finally living up to that name thanks to a fan-created texture pack. The MineBricks pack turns most of Minecrafts blocks, items, and mobs into bricky versions of themselves and even adds a distinctive clicking sound whenever you build or break objects.

Weve tried the mod out and absolutely love it. We particularly adore the intricate designs given to each block - they arent all just one brick but selections of multiple bricks stuck together to make them look more complex and like a real Lego creation.

This isnt an officially licensed pack though, and while MineBricks never uses the word Lego its possible the toy manufacturer might still ask them to take the project down at some point. If thats the case you might want to head over to the MineBricks page ASAP to ensure you have a copy to keep hold of

Installing fan-made texture packs in Minecraft can be a little tricky if you havent done it before. So heres our quick guide on what youll need to do to start playing with Lego-like bricks in Minecraft.

Firstly youre going to need Minecraft Java Edition on PC, sorry console players youre out of luck this time. Also, you wont be able to install the
mod if youre playing on the Windows 10 version of the game either; if you can play cross-platform with non-PC users and access the DLC store, that means
you have the Windows 10 version.

Next, youll want to head to the official MineBricks page to download the texture pack. If youre looking to try out the pack without investing in it, you can download either a 128x or 256x resolution version for free. Alternatively for just $2 (around 1.5 / AU$3) you can snag the 512x
resolution pack, or splash out for $5 (around 3.5 / AU$7) and score both the 512x and highest quality 1024x versions.

No matter which MineBricks pack you secure, your next step is the same. Unfortunately, the texture pack doesnt yet support the latest release of Minecraft, so instead youre going to want to install the older 1.16 version
of the game. This means some features will be lost, but youll be able to swap back to the more up-to-date version at any time.

To install 1.16 open up the Minecraft Launcher and look for the Installations tab near the top of the window. Here, select New Installation and under Version look for release 1.16. With that option chosen, give the installation a name then hit Create and you should be good to go. Well, almost.

The final step of installing the MineBricks mod is to open up your 1.6
version of Minecraft and before you jump into a game choose options. Here you should then see Resource Packs, and then youll want to click Open Resource Packs Folder. Drag and drop the .zip file (theres no need to extract it) for MineBricks into the resource pack folder, then close it. Back on the
Minecraft tab, you should now see a new option to use the mod and you are finally ready to get playing. The history of Minecraft the best selling PC game ever
