The Doctor Whovian Resource Pack 1.10.2 / 1.8.9

The Doctor Whovian resource pack is truly an amazing find as the only resource pack inspired by the legendary hit TV show Doctor Who. I found it fascinating that what inspired the developer to create this texture pack was their genuine love of the show. Unlike most longtime fans of Doctor Who, the creator got to experience the show later on in life, making the development of this resource pack a natural decision and a wonderful way to offer fans of both the show and Minecraft a world they can genuinely enjoy. To drastically improve the visuals in vanilla Minecraft, the resource pack cleverly increases the resolution of textures. Instead of sticking to standard 16x textures, Doctor Whovian uses vibrant 32x textures that I think look incredible. This increased resolution really adds an impressive layer of depth and detail to every single block and object in the game. For the sake of diversity and a refreshing step away from vanilla, the resource pack also introduces fantastic new blocks and objects. You can now build the iconic phone booth, and there are brilliant new crates, chests, plants, new bookshelves, computers, displays, and many more. I love that there are several new blocks making it entirely possible to recreate iconic scenes from the TV show or even build your very own TARDIS control room.

There are also delightful new paintings featuring pictures of the beloved characters. Finally, the developer has thoughtfully added a few new models and textures for mobs as well. Another important change that the Doctor Whovian resource pack brings is a complete redesign to the GUI and player HUD. Once again, these elements have been wonderfully inspired by the Doctor Who TV show. The new GUI features a striking dark blue style and the main screen background utilizes dark shades of blue and black arranged in a cool wavy design. The resource pack also thoughtfully adjusts the colors of several standard blocks, bringing in richer shades of brown and making many blocks feature much more vibrant textures. I noticed that the sky and water textures remained unchanged, and there are no connected textures or moving textures included. This implies that your game performance is not considerably impacted by just the increase in texture resolution alone. Regardless, the developer has also kindly released a 16x version of their resource pack for players with older computers. I am happy to report that this 16x version should have virtually no performance impact for players with older systems who can comfortably run vanilla Minecraft.
