Resource Packs The Stratum Resourcepack 1024x Early-Access

The Stratum Resourcepack by Continuum Graphics

Stratum is a extremely high quality Resourcepack for Minecraft, with a focus on realism and shader support.

PBR Textures​

The Stratum Resource Pack is fully compatible with PBR (Physically Based Rendering). This means that when paired with shaderpacks like Continuum 2.0, light will interact with the textures provided by Stratum the same way it would in the real world.

POM Support​

Stratum also supports POM (Parallax Occlusion Mapping). POM is a graphical effect that simulates 3D details in textures by utilizing depth information stored in their height map. This greatly enhances the overall look of the textures and the overall realism. POM creates details such as the raised stones in the cobblestone blocks surface, to the gaps between boards in the wooden plank textures and more. Check out these screenshots for examples of POM in action.

Normal And Specular Maps​

Stratum also includes high quality normal and specular maps. In combination with shaders Stratum uses it’s normal maps to give more small details to bumps or indents in it’s textures.
The specular maps are used to define the amount of reflectivity different textures have. This feature is what gives some textures the ability to reflect a lot of light, and others a duller look with very little reflectivity.

*Considerations for AMD GPU users​

---

AMD graphics cards have smaller maximum supported texture size compared to their modern Nvidia counterparts (16K x 16K vs 32K x 32K), this means that while cards like the RX 6800/6900/7900 and so on may have the VRAM to load Stratum 1024x or Stratum 2048x Build 13, they are not actually capable of it.
We hope to lift this restriction ourselves via a future update to our Focal Engine mod, but that is still quite a ways out. Please keep this in mind when purchasing and attempting to use Stratum.
