Because you’re walking on what look like Lego bricks, see

Minecraft Brixel resource pack - A screenshot from inside a cave looking into the sun with shaders enabled. All of the blocks appear to be made of shiny, bumpy Lego-like bricks.

Before you do anything else, just check out the glossy, beautified trailer version here. It really is gorgeous. I’ll show you what it looks like on my machine in a moment.

Even among Lego-inspired packs though, Brixel sure seems over the top. Instead of each block being flat-sided and having studs on top, Brixel has imagined every block as its own tiny little collection of smaller brick pieces. I particularly enjoy the torch. It’s just two tiny pieces squished together that gets stuck to the exposed studs of whatever block you put it on.

The full version of Brixel is overon Wabbabrick’s Patreonpage where you can opt in for increasingly snazzy versions of the pack. You can also downloadthe free trial version, like I did, which doesn’t include textures for all blocks.

Here’s what the trial looked like for me with the proper shaders. Neat as heck!

I think the torch is cute.

Up close you can see a bit more of the shiny, reflective surface. As is often the case with Minecraft shaders, things look even neater in partially-lit places. This screenshot lets you see the 3D bits best out in the sunshine though. Brixel also has custom sounds so when you walk around your little feetclick clackon the bricks.

Whether you do the trial version or buy in for the snazzy full pack, do mind those installation instructions. (I followed most of them. I think.) You will need to do some shader settings fiddling to make those bricks look 3D as intended. Make sure you’re using one of the two recommended shaders and tick all those boxes as instructed.
