The best free Minecraft Bedrock Texture Packs for 1.21.131

All the very best free Bedrock Texture Packs.

Want to know what the best free texture packs are for Minecraft Bedrock? If you’re looking for a new way to change up your experience, nothing does it faster and easier than a texture pack. But if you’re playing on Bedrock, most of the good options are locked behind real money that you need to spend inside the Minecraft Marketplace. That’s why, below, we’ve put together a list of the best free texture packs that can make Bedrock 1.21.131 shine.

Here are the best Minecraft Bedrock texture packs:

If you want to use some of the best Bedrock Edition texture packs, then you’ll find your options are far more limited than in the Java Edition. There are still plenty of texture packs available, but most of them can only be found on the Minecraft Marketplace, and you’ll have to purchase them with Minecraft Coins.

Below you’ll find a full description of each of the best free Bedrock texture packs and resource packs that we’ve found online. Following the list, we’ve also included an easy primer on how to install these Bedrock texture packs.

Compromise

Minecraft Compromise is a wonderful Bedrock resource pack for players who don’t want to completely change the look of their game, but want to give it a bit of a makeover with some cleaner, crisper textures.

From a distance you could easily mistake Compromise for vanilla Minecraft, which is a testament to how closely the pack keeps to the game’s original textures. But up close, the differences are clear. Subtle but pleasant, and very easy to enjoy.

Bare Bones

Bare Bones makes your Minecraft Bedrock worlds instantly much clearer and more vibrant with its flat and colourful textures. If you’re looking for a big departure from the vanilla look and you don’t care about realism then Bare Bones is for you.

It’s certainly not a lazy pack, despite its often flat surfaces. There are little details on almost every block type, from Wood to Copper , which add some flair and texture and character to the world. But overall it’s a great, clear, vibrant texture pack which is particularly good for PvP Minecraft servers thanks to its crispness even at far distances.

PastelCraft

PastelCraft differentiates itself from the other texture packs in this list with its refreshing colour palette. With this pack, the look of your Minecraft world becomes less saturated but remains just as characterful. That’s the power of pastel colours.

PastelCraft is another pack that doesn’t bother to try and make the textures more realistic than vanilla, but goes in a different direction to make your world look incredibly clean and novel. These colours can make even a trip to the Nether to gather some Potion ingredients feel calming. Whilst there, grab some Soul Sand and Wither Skulls so that you can challenge the Wither boss in your crisp, pastel world. Make sure to grab the Nether Star if you win, because you’ll need it to make a Beacon .

Jehkoba’s Fantasy

Jehkoba’s Fantasy is described by its creator, Zack Simon, as a texture pack “influenced heavily by classic SNES JRPGs, tabletop roleplay, and low-res adventure games”. It’s an impressively illustrated pack that somehow manages to be both new and comforting at the same time. The tools all look great in this pack, particularly when enchanted .

There’s a lot of contrast in each block, which makes everything in Jehkoba’s Fantasy texture pack look bold and powerful. This is one pack that’s great for turning your building ideas and house plans into a reality.

Love and Tolerance

The Love and Tolerance texture pack for Bedrock is bright, bold, and surprisingly beautiful for a 16x16 pack. The emphasis on this pack is in making your surroundings look fun and positive at all times, no matter whereabouts you are.

All the Minecraft mobs look adorable too, from the Bees to the Axolotls . Even the hostile mobs like Skeletons and Slimes look quite charming in the Love and Tolerance pack.

DePixel Bedrock Lite

DePixel Bedrock Lite is probably the main rival to the Compromise pack at the top of this list, because both keep very closely to the default textures. But DePixel’s higher-resolution 32x32 textures give everything a slightly more realistic touch, while preserving the Minecraft look we all know and love.

The tradeoff, of course, is that higher-resolution textures may prove more of a drain on your device’s capabilities. You can use one of the many Minecraft mods out there to track your frames-per-second and see how well each one of these packs runs on your device.

8-bitCraft 2

On the opposite end of the spectrum, 8-bitCraft 2 is a Bedrock texture pack which sticks close to vanilla textures but steps the resolutions down to 8x8 instead of 16x16. This is a great pack for lower-end machines running Minecraft, and it also looks very neat and charming. It somehow makes your Minecraft world look miniature, but this only adds to the novelty and sense of discovery.

Patrix

For a dash of the realistic, try installing the Patrix texture pack, which looks great on Java version, and is no slouch on Bedrock. You’ll find the game’s blocks redone with detailed and intricate textures, and this is most evident in grass, trees, and wood. Everything’s a bit more like real life and slightly darker, so if you’re tired of Minecraft’s colourful aesthetic and hankering for something that’s more reminiscent of gritty fantasy instead of bright building blocks, give Patrix a whirl.

Brixel

When you get right down to it, Minecraft really is a big digital LEGO sandbox, which explains its enduring popularity over the years. Brixel capitalises on this connection by painting all of Minecraft’s textures with the loveable studs and connectors that you’ll see on your favourite childhood (or adulthood!) bricks.

It’s worth pointing out that not all items in the game have undergone this conversion - flowers, for instance, look the same. But even player models and mob appear a smidgeon more like minifigs, and the end result is a reskinned Bedrock that almost looks like a licensed LEGO product if you squint.

Paper Cut-Out

All of the textures in the Paper Cut-Out pack have received an upgrade to make them look like smooth, perfectly aligned paper creations. I particularly adore the leaves on the trees, and despite not having received an update in a few years, Paper Cut-Out continues to add depth and three-dimensionality to the latest versions of Bedrock still. This is a particularly lovely texture pack to install if you’re planning on doing lots of exploring through the wilderness (perhaps you’ve got a Minecraft map that needs filling out?)

Pixel Perfection Legacy

Pixel Perfection is a texture pack that has gone through many changes over the years and had several iterations. This legacy edition for Bedrock brings very handsome refinements to several of Bedrocks’s busier textures, creating an overall cleaner look - ‘perfection,’ as it says in the title!

For instance, all of the snowy blocks in the above screenshot would have muddier, pixelated textures placed on them in regular Bedrock. The same goes for the vegetation, which have been redrawn to look sharper. Mobs have also been cleaned up and given a nice redesign - as you can see, Minecraft’s white rabbits no longer have their creepy red eyes, for better or for worse.

Vibrant Vanilla PBR

Everything looks a little brighter and more robust with Vibrant Vanilla PBR , which uses a mixture of contrast-upped visuals and lighting effects to give all of Minecraft’s environments a dash of additional splendour. There’s greater depth on display here, and you can also see cool water waves and fog effects depending on which biome you’re currently visiting. This one comes recommended if you want slightly fancier and lusher visuals that still retain Minecraft’s iconic style.

PS50YT RTX

PS50YT RTX is a hefty 1024x resolution pack that provides a so-called “ultrarealistic experience” via detailed textures, enhanced particle effects, better animation for mobs, and some subtle shading and sound differences.

This pack won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, and some will undoubtedly argue that the “ultrarealistic” textures are too smooth and take away Minecraft’s blocky charm. I personally think they provide a new degree of charm - that of an early 2000s 3Dfx game. If you have an odd nostalgia for the environments of the original Unreal or Quake, there’s something about the visuals here that will likely scratch that itch!

How to install Bedrock texture packs

It’s incredibly easy to install texture packs for the Bedrock Edition. Here’s how to do it:

1. Download the Bedrock Texture Pack of your choice.
2. Run the MCPACK file (the file with “.mcpack” at the end).
3. Wait a few seconds for the installation to finish.
4. In Bedrock, select the settings button next to your world, scroll down the side bar, and click on Resource Packs.
5. Select your downloaded Texture Pack and click Activate.

Now you can load up your world and enjoy your new Bedrock texture pack!

Hopefully this guide has given you a new texture pack or two that you can try out in your latest Bedrock world. If you’re still looking for the perfect sandbox to play in, take a look at our list of the best Bedrock seeds . And if you’re weighing the pros of playing on Java instead of Bedrock, then head over to our list of the best Java texture packs and the best Java mods to get started with a whole new way to experience Minecraft.

Looking for more Arc Raiders Blueprints? It’s a special day when you find a Blueprint, as they’re among the most valuable items in Arc Raiders. If you find a Blueprint that you haven’t already found, then you must make sure you hold onto it at all costs, because Blueprints are the key to one of the most important and powerful systems of meta-progression in the game.

This guide aims to be the very best guide on Blueprints you can find, starting with a primer on what exactly they are and how they work in Arc Raiders, before delving into exactly where to get Blueprints and the very best farming spots for you to take in your search.

We’ll also go over how to get Blueprints from other unlikely activities, such as destroying Surveyors and completing specific quests. And you’ll also find the full list of all 75 Blueprints in Arc Raiders on this page (including the newest Blueprints added with the Cold Snap update , such as the Deadline Blueprint and Firework Box Blueprint), giving you all the information you need to expand your own crafting repertoire.

In this guide:

• What are Blueprints in Arc Raiders?
• Full Blueprint list: All crafting recipes
• Where to find Blueprints in Arc Raiders Blueprints obtained from quests Blueprints obtained from Trials Best Blueprint farming locations

What are Blueprints in Arc Raiders?

Blueprints in Arc Raiders are special items which, if you manage to extract with them, you can expend to permanently unlock a new crafting recipe in your Workshop. If you manage to extract from a raid with an Anvil Blueprint, for example, you can unlock the ability to craft your very own Anvil Pistol, as many times as you like (as long as you have the crafting materials).

To use a Blueprint, simply open your Inventory while in the lobby, then right-click on the Blueprint and click “Learn And Consume” . This will permanently unlock the recipe for that item in your Workshop. As of the Stella Montis update, there are allegedly 75 different Blueprints to unlock - although only 68 are confirmed to be in the game so far. You can see all the Blueprints you’ve found and unlocked by going to the Workshop menu, and hitting “R” to bring up the Blueprint screen.

It’s possible to find duplicates of past Blueprints you’ve already unlocked. If you find these, then you can either sell them, or - if you like to play with friends - you can take it into a match and gift it to your friend so they can unlock that recipe for themselves. Another option is to keep hold of them until the time comes to donate them to the Expedition.

Full Blueprint list: All crafting recipes

Below is the full list of all the Blueprints that are currently available to find in Arc Raiders, and the crafting recipe required for each item:

Note: The missing Blueprints in this list likely have not actually been added to the game at the time of writing, because none of the playerbase has managed to find any of them. As they are added to the game, I will update this page with the most relevant information so you know exactly how to get all 75 Arc Raiders Blueprints.

Where to find Blueprints in Arc Raiders

Below is a list of all containers, modifiers, and events which maximise your chances of finding Blueprints:

• Certain quests reward you with specific Blueprints .
• Completing Trials has a high chance of offering Blueprints as rewards.
• Surveyors have a decent chance of dropping Blueprints on death.
• High loot value areas tend to have a greater chance of spawning Blueprints.
• Night Raids and Storms may increase rare Blueprint spawn chances in containers.
• Containers with higher numbers of items may have a higher tendency to spawn Blueprints. As a result, Blue Gate (which has many “large” containers containing multiple items) may give you a higher chance of spawning Blueprints.
• Raider containers (Raider Caches, Weapon Boxes, Medical Bags, Grenade Tubes) have increased Blueprint drop rates. As a result, the Uncovered Caches event gives you a high chance of finding Blueprints.
• Security Lockers have a higher than average chance of containing Blueprints.
• Certain Blueprints only seem to spawn under specific circumstances: Tempest Blueprint only spawns during Night Raid events. Vulcano Blueprint only spawns during Hidden Bunker events. Jupiter and Equaliser Blueprints only spawn during Harvester events.

Blueprints have a very low chance of spawning in any container in Arc Raiders, around 1-2% on average. However, there is a higher chance of finding Blueprints in particular container types. Specifically, you can find more Blueprints in Raider containers and security lockers.

Beyond this, if you’re looking for Blueprints you should focus on regions of the map which are marked as having particularly high-value loot. Areas such as the Control Tower in Dam Battlegrounds, the Arrival and Departure Buildings in Spaceport, and Pilgrim’s Peak in Blue Gate all have a better-than-average chance of spawning Blueprints somewhere amongst all their containers. Night Raids and Electromagnetic Storm events also increase the drop chances of certain Blueprints .

In addition to these containers, you can often loot Blueprints from destroyed Surveyors - the largest of the rolling ball ARC. Surveyors are more commonly found on the later maps - Spaceport and Blue Gate - and if one spawns in your match, you’ll likely see it by the blue laser beam that it casts into the sky while “surveying”.

Surveyors are quite well-armoured and will very speedily run away from you once it notices you, but if you can take one down then make sure you loot all its parts for a chance of obtaining certain unusual Blueprints.

Blueprints obtained from quests

One way in which you can get Blueprints is by completing certain quests for the vendors in Speranza. Some quests will reward you with a specific item Blueprint upon completion, so as long as you work through all the quests in Arc Raiders, you are guaranteed those Blueprints.

Here is the full list of all Blueprints you can get from quest rewards:

• Trigger Nade Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Sparks Fly”.
• Lure Grenade Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Greasing Her Palms”.
• Burletta Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Industrial Espionage”.
• Hullcracker Blueprint (and Launcher Ammo Blueprint): Rewarded after completing “The Major’s Footlocker”.

Alas, that’s only 4 Blueprints out of a total of 75 to unlock, so for the vast majority you will need to find them yourself during a raid. If you’re intent on farming Blueprints, then it’s best to equip yourself with cheap gear in case you lose it, but don’t use a free loadout because then you won’t get a safe pocket to stash any new Blueprint you find. No pain in Arc Raiders is sharper than failing to extract with a new Blueprint you’ve been after for a dozen hours already.

One of the best ways to get Blueprints is by hitting three stars on all five Trials every week. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios

Blueprints obtained from Trials

One of the very best ways to get Blueprints is as rewards for completing Trials in Arc Raiders. Trials are unlocked from Level 15 onwards, and allow you to earn rewards by focusing on certain tasks over the course of several raids. For example, one Trial might task you with dealing damage to Hornets, while another might challenge you to loot Supply Drops.

Trials refresh on a weekly basis, with a new week bringing five new Trials. Each Trial can offer up to three rewards after passing certain score milestones, and it’s possible to receive very high level loot from these reward crates - including Blueprints. So if you want to unlock as many Blueprints as possible, you should make a point of completing as many Trials as possible each week.

Best Blueprint farming locations

The very best way to get Blueprints is to frequent specific areas of the maps which combine high-tier loot pools with the right types of containers to search. Here are my recommendations for where to find Blueprints on every map, so you can always keep the search going for new crafting recipes to unlock.

Dam Battlegrounds

The best places to farm Blueprints on Dam Battlegrounds are the Control Tower, Power Generation Complex, Ruby Residence, and Pale Apartments . The first two regions, despite only being marked on the map as mid-tier loot, contain a phenomenal number of containers to loot. The Control Tower can also contain a couple of high-tier Security Lockers - though of course, you’ll need to have unlocked the Security Breach skill at the end of the Survival tree.

There’s also a lot of reporting amongst the playerbase that the Residential areas in the top-left of the map - Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence - give you a comparatively strong chance of finding Blueprints. Considering their size, there’s a high density of containers to loot in both locations, and they also have the benefit of being fairly out of the way. So you’re more likely to have all the containers to yourself.

Buried City

The best Blueprint farming locations on Buried City are the Santa Maria Houses, Grandioso Apartments, Town Hall, and the various buildings of the New District . Grandioso Apartments has a lower number of containers than the rest, but a high chance of spawning weapon cases - which have good Blueprint drop rates. The others are high-tier loot areas, with plenty of lootable containers - including Security Lockers.

Spaceport

The best places to find Blueprints on Spaceport are the Arrival and Departure Buildings, as well as Control Tower A6 and the Launch Towers . All these areas are labelled as high-value loot regions, and many of them are also very handily connected to one another by the Spaceport wall, which you can use to quickly run from one area to the next. At the tops of most of these buildings you’ll find at least one Security Locker, so this is an excellent farming route for players looking to find Blueprints.

The downside to looting Blueprints on Spaceport is that all these areas are hotly contested, particularly in Duos and Squads. You’ll need to be very focused and fast in order to complete the full farming route.

Blue Gate

Blue Gate tends to have a good chance of dropping Blueprints, potentially because it generally has a high number of containers which can hold lots of items; so there’s a higher chance of a Blueprint spawning in each container. In my experience, the best Blueprint farming spots on Blue Gate are Pilgrim’s Peak, Raider’s Refuge, the Ancient Fort, and the Underground Complex beneath the Warehouse .

All of these areas contain a wealth of containers to loot. Raider’s Refuge has less to loot, but the majority of the containers in and around the Refuge are raider containers, which have a high chance of containing Blueprints - particularly during major events.

Stella Montis

On the whole, Stella Montis seems to have a very low drop rate for Blueprints (though a high chance of dropping other high-tier loot). If you do want to try farming Blueprints on this map, the best places to find Blueprints in Stella Montis are Medical Research, Assembly Workshop, and the Business Center . These areas have the highest density of containers to loot on the map.

In addition to this, the Western Tunnel has a few different Security Lockers to loot, so while there’s very little to loot elsewhere in this area of the map, it’s worth hitting those Security Lockers if you spawn there at the start of a match.

That wraps up this primer on how to get all the Blueprints in Arc Raiders as quickly as possible. With the Expedition system constantly resetting a large number of players’ Blueprints, it’s more important than ever to have the most up-to-date information on where to find all these Blueprints.
