Changelog

Vanilla RTX's fourteenth major 1.21 revision is almost entirely dedicated to Minecraft: Education Edition.

Release Notes:

• All 118 Element blocks (+ Unknown Element!) have been revamped, with each elemental category now exhibiting features that reflect the real-world appearance of their group:

- Alkali metals appear somewhat rough and heavily oxidized, while alkaline earth metals are a bit less so.
- Transition metals exhibit the highest metallicity, while other metals and metalloids appear significantly less metallic.
- Noble gases and halogens now feature an icy/crystalline look, indicating how they'd likely appear in solid form.
- Biologically essential nonmetals like hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon now have a plastic-like finish.
- Actinides use a rough, corroded surface with a subtle glow to suggest radioactivity — visually similar to alkaline earth metals, but with that added effect—other groups follow similar material logic to reflect their physical nature.

Each category also includes distinct heightmaps designs to add an additional layer to their visual identity.

• Other Minecraft: Education Edition blocks have also been overhauled!

- Lab Table, Element Constructor, Material Reducer, and Compound Creator now feature fully-fledged designs.
- Chemical Heat Block PBR textures now use the correct size.


• Revamped appearance of TNT and Underwater TNT

• Other Changes:
- Updated various color texture formats for consistency.
- Minor texture tweaks and visual improvements across various blocks.

• Updated Lava Texture to 1.21.90:
The texture was changed to include 32 stages instead of 20, maps and MERs were updated to match the new size
- Lava now appears more vibrant than before

• Improved emissivity of soul torch and underwater torch in the absence of hardcoded pointlights
-  Minor improvements to other torch types

▣ Enhanced (Option) Changelogs:

• Updated block destruct and slide particle configs to match recent vanilla game changes.

• Updated entity geometry format versions in Enhanced option to align with the latest vanilla changes.

Other Notes:
Vanilla RTX 1.21.140 targets the upcoming 1.21.90 update of Minecraft. As such, minor issues (like missing block particles in the Enhanced option) will occur when using it with older game versions such as 1.21.80
Minimum engine version will be bumped to 1.21.90 with the next update!

Sorry. I like this pack because it's free and high quality, but it seems that there are bugs because the cow and pig textures have not been updated since the 1.21.5 update.
I don't mean to be mean, but it looks terrible, so please fix it if possible.

There shouldn't be any issues on the latest version of the pack, Vanilla RTX 1.21.110 accounts for every change in Minecraft 1.21.70 Spring to Life game drop.

Why is doesn't work?. 1) you need Minecraft bedrock. 2) Your device must support "Ray Tracing/Ray Traced"

As part of the migration to CurseForge, Vanilla RTX and Vanilla RTX Normals are being moved to two new separate pages.

The download links on the old page will eventually redirect here, provided that the original post remains up to prevent breaking existing links to the project.
