Vanilla RTX
Vanilla RTX is the most popular PBR resource pack for Minecraft RTX; allowing you to use Minecraft's ray tracing features by providing quality PBR maps and fog configurations on top of vanilla game without altering vanilla experience, bringing ray tracing support to Minecraft's default resources while remaining completely faithful to all the different aspects and details of vanilla Minecraft.
Vanilla RTX uses 16x heightmaps with uniquely detailed MERs (Metallic/Emissivity/Roughness). Vanilla RTX Normals uses 16x Normals instead.
- Vanilla RTX & Vanilla RTX Normals cover every possible Vanilla, Creative, Education Edition or secret block.
- All materials are consistent across different blocks.
- Everything has been fine-tuned for Minecraft RTX.

FAQ
Q: What is the primary difference between Vanilla RTX and Vanilla RTX Normals?
A: Vanilla RTX uses 16x heightmaps, which are later converted to a higher resolution normal map to simulate depth on a flat surface, Vanilla RTX Normals uses 16x normal maps instead, which simulate curvature on a surface and how light should bounce off each pixel. Only one can be used at a time, each will provide different looks for all blocks.
The images below demonstrate the difference: (First image shows Vanilla RTX & second image shows Vanilla RTX Normals)

![](https://api.mcpedl.com/storage/submissions/168852/images/vanilla-rtx_3.png)
Problem: I am experiencing low frame rate, game keeps crashing etc...
Solution: If you're experiencing low FPS, disable Minecraft's VSync, as for crashes and similar issues, they are Minecraft-related, waiting for future game patches might be your only option.
However there are several issues tied to resizing the game's window, tabbing in or out or turning ray tracing on/off frequently, which can easily be avoided.
Q: How can I edit pack?
A: Here are some helpful resources to to edit Vanilla RTX according to your preferences or to create your own ray tracing capable resource pack:
Minecraft.net / Nvidia / Microsoft Docs (Official Minecraft RTX info and documentations)
Template: Minecraft RTX Resource Pack Template
Texture Set Maker: CubeIR/Texture-Set-Maker
Q: What are patches? how do I use them? do I need to download them all?
A: They are optional smaller packs that allow you to change certain aspects of Vanilla RTX Normals/Vanilla RTX, since these changes aren't fully 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 one of the base packs, to use any of the optional patches simply place them above Vanilla RTX or Vanilla RTX Normals in your resource pack settings.
Problem: I've encountered a visual glitch/bug, candles aren't emitting light, decorated pots are glitched, spyglass has issues, chains are glowing etc...
Solution: Visual glitches or similar issues you might encounter during gameplay are most likely a game issue & have nothing to do with Vanilla RTX. You can visit bugs.mojang.com and search for bugs related to Minecraft with RTX & vote for them, it is likely that they are already reported.
If you have other questions, try joining Vanilla RTX Discord server and ask for help from others, or leave a comment here explaining the issue.
