Better Carpets
Better Carpets adds subtle 3D overhangs and varied edge details to wool, moss, and pale moss carpets.
Описание
Adds subtle 3D overhangs and varied edge details to wool, moss, and pale moss carpets while preserving their vanilla textures and pixel-art style.
Better Carpets gives Minecraft's carpets more detailed edges while preserving their familiar vanilla appearance.
Wool, moss, and pale moss carpets gain thin overhangs that gently extend over exposed block edges, making them feel less flat without replacing their original top textures.
Different fringe lengths, orientations, and moss arrangements add subtle variation between carpets while keeping everything aligned with Minecraft's original pixel scale.
The result is a small visual upgrade that makes carpets feel more like materials resting on top of blocks rather than completely flat surfaces.

| 🧶 Wool Carpets | Adds full, short, and uneven fringe variants to all 16 wool carpet colors. |
| 🌿 Moss Carpets | Adds varied moss strands and gently angled overhangs around exposed carpet edges. |
| 🌫️ Pale Moss Carpets | Adds matching pale overhangs and occasional outward spreading across nearby surfaces. |
| 🔀 Natural Variation | Randomized fringe lengths, arrangements, and orientations keep repeated carpets from looking identical. |
| 🧩 Consistent Top Textures | Randomized overhangs do not rotate the main carpet texture, keeping the vanilla pattern consistently aligned. |
| 🔍 Pixel-Perfect Geometry | Maintains Minecraft's pixel proportions with thin model planes and real geometry gaps instead of stretched textures. |
| 📦 Improved Items | Carpet items use a raised, angled inventory view that better displays their shape and detailed edges. |

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Which carpets does Better Carpets change?
All 16 wool carpet colors are enhanced. Moss carpets are also supported on versions where they exist, with pale moss carpets joining them from Minecraft 1.21.4 onward.
Does Better Carpets replace the original carpet textures?
No. The original top textures remain intact. The pack primarily adds additional model geometry around exposed edges.
Why do different carpets have different edges?
Better Carpets uses several fringe and overhang variants with randomized orientations to add subtle variation between otherwise identical carpets.
Does the randomization rotate the top texture?
No. The main carpet texture keeps its normal orientation while only the additional edge geometry varies.
How does pale moss spreading work?
Pale moss carpets can occasionally extend outward across nearby surfaces on sides without wall growth. Minecraft's normal low and tall pale moss wall growth remains intact.
Does Better Carpets add the flowers and plants from Better Moss?
No. The moss additions in Better Carpets focus specifically on carpet edges and spreading. It does not add the flowers, clovers, sprouts, or other foliage found in Better Moss.
Why are the carpet edges angled?
The overhangs attach near the carpet's top edge and lean slightly outward, helping them look like material naturally hanging over the side of a block rather than vertical strips.
Does Better Carpets require any mods?
No. Better Carpets works with vanilla Minecraft and does not require OptiFine or additional mods.
Can I use Better Carpets together with other resource packs?
Yes. If another resource pack changes the same carpet models or textures, whichever pack has the higher priority will generally override the conflicting assets.
Can I use Better Carpets in a modpack?
Yes. Better Carpets may be included in public and private modpacks. Please link back to the original project rather than redistributing the pack as your own work.
