Most texture files in vanilla Minecraft Bedrock only use 2 maps: base color and opacity. The base color map is stored in the RGB channels of the texture. This is the texture map that most people think of when talking about Minecraft textures. Some textures also have an additional opacity map that is either stored in the alpha channel for.
TGA texture files or stored implicitly for. PNG texture files. TGA files with alpha channels for opacity maps. More on that later. The new PBR system uses these 2 maps, as well as 5 additional ones, to help describe the realistic material surface that is being represented by the texture:.
Currently, each of the 6 PBR maps get packed into the channels of 3 texture files, which are then used by the game. Packing the maps reduces the overall file size and number of files of the new texture set. The texture set must be defined by a JSON file. These upgrade textures to follow the Physically Based Rendering pipeline laid out below, and are optimized for maximum performance and detail.
Download here , then double click the file and it should automatically be installed for use in-game. To use, download the file and double click the. If you do activate them at the same time, you will see a resource pack fall back resulting in other textures down-rezzing. With these packs, you will be able to experiment with both high-resolution textures x and low-resolution textures 8x8 or 16x16 with PBR capabilities. And if you make your own textures, you can quickly and easily test them in this world by overwriting the existing textures, accelerating your workflow and iteration speed.
Hopefully, these stunning showcases will provide you with inspiration for your own PBR textures and ray-traced world. Here are a few excellent options:. You will also need a quick plaintext file editor to write your texture set JSON, the default text editor for your operating system will work, but Sublime Text is a good alternative as it supports syntax coloring. This guide will cover the Photoshop workflow specifically, but the concepts should transfer to other digital painting applications.
Pay special care to the colors that get stored under the alpha channel as on blocks like Glass, the colors will still apply even if masked by full transparency. For RTX disabled, the full range of the alpha channel will be mapped to the full range opacity in the game. For further info and documentation, head to the official Minecraft. For the file name, take the name of the original texture without the extension and add it to the beginning of. Then the JSON file goes into the same folder.
Here is an example JSON file following the texture set schema, also demonstrating the correct value usage for each definition:. However, you will get the best looking results if you do. In the example above, the block has uniform roughness on all of its surfaces, but it is using a metallic map to control which pixels are metallic white , and which pixels are non-metallic black.
The metallic pixels look more like gold while the non-metallic pixels look more like shiny, yellow plastic. In the example above, the block has uniform metalness on all of its surfaces, but it is using a roughness map to control which pixels are very rough white , which pixels are very smooth black , and some pixels that are somewhere in between gray. The smooth, less rough pixels look more like shiny blue gemstones while the rough pixels look more like rough gray rock. Height maps have some limitations and should only be used for pixelated texture sets like the 16x16 pixel vanilla Minecraft textures.
Open a vanilla Minecraft texture in the app as a starting point, or skip to Step 2. Create a new document at the texture resolution that you want. Create working layers for the base color and opacity map if needed. Paint what you want and make any edits in these layers.
In the example below, multiple layers have been painted to edit the base color map more gold! Next, we need to save out a texture file that the game can use. Note : For most game objects, transparent pixels in the opacity map must also be painted black in the base color map e.
However, there are exceptions where the transparent pixels must also be painted white in the base color map in order to appear correct in the game e.
Some experimentation may be necessary. You now have your base color map being stored in the RGB channels and the opacity map stored in the alpha channel. Optional, for non-opaque objects only - Go back to the Layers tab and hide any of your opacity map layers. Only your base color map layers should be showing. Use the Save As command to save a. PNG texture file that can be used by the game. TGA file at this step if your object is intended to be non-opaque and uses an opacity map in the alpha channel.
See the Opacity Maps section above. Note on naming: File naming is important at this step! PNG should have the same name as the game object that you are modifying. You have successfully created the first of 3 texture files for a complete PBR texture set. Optional Open a vanilla Minecraft texture in Photoshop or a similar app as a starting point, or skip to the next step. Create a new document at the same texture resolution as your first texture file base color and opacity map. Create working layers for the metallic, emissive, and roughness map.
In the example below, multiple layers have been painted to create the desired roughness map result. Make sure to place layers of each map type into layer groups. This is important for the next few steps. Uncheck the green G and blue B channels:. Uncheck the red R and blue B channels:. Uncheck the red R and green G channels:. Note: Again, file naming is important at this step. You have successfully created the second of 3 texture files for a complete PBR texture set.

As long as you create a layer group for each PBR texture file and name it with the correct file name and file type. PSD file. More information can be found here. Note: Since this function cannot output. Using PBR maps like metalness and roughness along with ray tracing, you can create highly reflective materials like shiny plastics, smooth metal, or polished stone.
All of these will have high quality reflections. If you use a solid black roughness map 0. This means that the ray tracing code can take some shorter paths during its calculations since it knows that the material will fully reflect the environment without any additional details to take into account. If you have access to the Substance Painter app , you can create higher resolution PBR texture sets in a much more intuitive manner.
This software lets you see all of the maps of your PBR texture set displayed in real-time on mesh geometry. This allows you to tune your texture maps as you work without having to launch the game, move any files around, or modify channels. Launch the application and select New Project from the File menu. Feel free to try other options or make your own template! For Minecraft with RT X, using a 1 meter by 1 meter cube mesh with just 6 faces no subdivisions will give you an exact preview of how your textures will look when mapped onto a block in the game.
Using the. FBX mesh format is recommended. Note: This setting can be changed later non-destructively at any time.
