Vanilla RTX Normals is PBR resource pack for Minecraft RTX that provides quality PBR maps & fog configurations on top of Vanilla game without altering Vanilla experience.
Vanilla RTX Normals takes full advantage of per-pixel MERs, which define Metallic/Emissive/Roughness for each block to have maximum detail, with both heightmaps & normal maps.
All blocks that exist in Vanilla game are covered in this pack.
Vanilla RTX Normals allows you to experience Minecraft with Ray tracing with Vanilla Textures at Its best, all of values for metallic/emissive/roughness have little & big details, Vanilla RTX Normals regularly receives updates both to add new blocks & improve the look of existing ones, there are also several others smaller packs that will allow you to change certain aspects of Vanilla RTX Normals.

FAQ
Q: Why Vanilla RTX Normals has 2 Subpacks? what's different?
A: the two subpacks use different types of PBR maps, Normals subpack uses 16x Normals simulates curvature on a surface and how light should bounce off it, while heightmaps simulates of depth on a flat surface per pixel (& later, game generates a 128x normal map based on it to simulate depth)
Q: How can I edit pack?
A: You may still want to edit some parts of it or create your own ray tracing capable resource pack according to your personal preferences, in that case you can read official documentations to get required information (It's easy!) Minecraft.net / Nvidia / Microsoft Docs (official ray tracing info & PBR/fog documentations)
Q: Some patches have subpacks, why?
A: Only Glowing ores & Glowing glazed terracotta patches include a subpack for heightmaps, this is only to retain consistency across all textures while using different subpacks in Vanilla RTX Normals itself, they are optional (As of now, glowing glazed terracotta patch is outdated and does not match up with latest textures)
Q: How do I use patches; do I have to download all of them?
A: They are totally optional smaller packs that allows you to change certain aspects of Vanilla RTX Normals, but since these changes aren't Vanilla, they are included in separate packs, names of each one should tell what they do, e.g Glowing ores makes ores Glow, you only need the base pack.
Q: My game is not switching between subpacks
A: Activate pack in Global settings & Restart game after switching packs, this may also solve problem of textures not loading correctly.
Q: Where can I find older versions of packs?
A: All files of all versions are achieved over at my Discord.

Installation
Helpful usage tips & Information
- Vanilla RTX Normals Will not work with any Android/iOS device or Consoles
- Sometimes Switching between subpacks does not work in this case, you will need to restart game, sometimes several times. and if textures don't load at all try the following:
- If Textures aren't being loaded in game (or resource pack isn't working properly on a compatible device), activate pack in Global settings instead, there's a problem with textures loading which affects some of devices if pack is activated in World settings.
If you still have trouble Downloading or Installing/using pack or you've faced other problems you can also visit my Discord Server & ask for help from others, or just comment here.

Get ready for the apocalypse because I am going to use this on a very old macbook and have hundreds of tabs open and jump into a giant block made of TNT.
