Grimdark Battlepack
The Grimdark Battlepack (formerly "Kal's Arms & Armor") is a modern adaptation of the traditional Minecraft textures. I've drawn inspiration from other dark fantasy worlds to provide textures with greater detail that will be more fitting in your medieval, fantasy, and steampunk Minecraft worlds. What originally began as just an armor and weapons pack has been expanded to include decorative blocks, sun and moon textures, a custom skybox, and in the most recent update, custom colormaps for certain biomes to provide spring and autumn vibes. These additions still belong to the more decorative side of Minecraft, allowing you to pair this pack with a block pack of your choosing or just stick with the vanilla block textures for building.
In my recent updates I've also added my variant armor textures as subpacks, now with a single download you can customize your look by choosing between Light, Medium, Heavy, Royal and Hidden armor looks.
I've also created a companion behavior pack that adds support for some of my custom swords and tools. You can now craft Katanas, Daggers, Cutlasses, Hatchets, Mallets, Pitchforks & Sickles in addition to the default tools to further customize your look in Minecraft.
**You must enable Holiday Creator Features in order for the Behavior Pack to work.
Everything you need to know about biome colormaps, subpacks, and custom weapons is covered in the videos below. Please give them a watch!

I'll be providing more regular updates moving forward, but if you'd like gain early access, please consider supporting me on Patron. I typically post updates to my Patreon several weeks before the general release along with other bonus content.
Uploaded a new version of the resource pack that includes the following additions:
- Added a new variant that hides player armor without removing 3D Skin elements.
- Tweaked existing Royal, Light & Medium (Default) armor variants to show 3D hair and face items.
- Added support for 24 more custom item types to the RP & BP.
Installation
The Battlepack is all you need if you don't care about custom items. But if you do want the ability to craft custom swords and tools, you'll need to download the Grimdark Behavior Pack and enable "Holiday Creator Features" in your worlds.
