MCPE/Bedrock Truly Vanilla RTX Normals
MCDLHUB Admin
Vanilla RTX Normals (aka Truly Vanilla RTX) is PBR resource pack for Minecraft RTX that provides All other necessary PBR maps & fog configurations on top of Vanilla game.
Vanilla RTX Normals takes Full advantage of per-pixel MERs, which define Metallic/Emissive/Roughness for each block to bring maximum detail, with both heightmaps & normal maps.
All Blocks are Covered (Heightmaps are included in a separate subpack)
Vanilla RTX Normals allows you to experience Minecraft with Ray tracing with Vanilla Textures at It's finest, All of values for metallic/emissive/roughness have had special care & tweaking into them with highest detail possible, there are also several others smaller packs that allows you to change certain aspects of Vanilla RTX Normals

FAQ
Q: Why Vanilla RTX normals has 2 Subpacks? what's different?
A: the two subpacks use different types of PBR maps, normals subpack uses 16x normals simulates curvature on a surface and how light should bounce off it, while heightmaps simulates of depth on a flat surface per pixel (& later, game generates a 128x normal map based on it to provide a feeling of depth)
Q: How can I edit pack?
A: Even though everything in this pack has had a lot of thinking in it to be suitable for everyone's needs, You may still want to edit some parts of it or create your own ray tracing capable resource pack according to your personal preferences, in that case you can read official documentations to get required information & knowledge (It's easy!) Minecraft.net / Nvidia (Full ray tracing info & pbr/fog documentation)
Q: Some patches have subpacks, why?
A: Only Glowing ores & Glowing glazed terracotta patches include a subpack for heightmaps, this is only to retain consistency across all textures while using different subpacks in Vanilla RTX Normals itself, they are optional.
Q: How do I use patches, do I have to download all of them?
A: They are totally optional smaller packs that allows you to change certain aspects of Vanilla RTX Normals, names of each one should tell what they do, e.g Glowing ores makes ores glow.
Q: My game is not switching between subpacks
A: Activate pack in Global settings & Restart game, this may also solve problem of textures not loading.
Q: Where can I find older versions of packs?
A: All files of all versions are achieved over at my Discord.

and many.. many more.
★ Removed (From Previous preview):
- All Education Edition blocks
- Painting References
- All Ui related files
- Lots of unused files (~200)
Note: All resulting in +8mb size reduction, this has been done for cleaning up pack/getting rid of unnecessary things or anything isn’t really “Vanilla”
or isn’t accepting/in need of PBR textures
as seen in previous updates, I’ve been constantly adding new different Education edition blocks.
Which all were replacing Vanilla textures (element blocks), now with their removal from pack, they are not fully gone, they will be included in a separate patch in future if you still wish you to use them.
just place it above pack itself, this would be significantly better as education edition blocks only work when you activate pack in world settings, with this change,
you won’t need to Load/delete pack from your world for each of Vanilla RTX Normals updates & you can only leave the small patch mentioned there & have everything work properly, Education Edition blocks have been Discontinued from this moment.
Other notes: Updated some of screenshots & cleaned up the page from old information, Removed Cracked Nether Brick to mirror patch
Installation
Helpful usage tips & Information
- Vanilla RTX Normals Will not work with any Android/iOS device or Consoles: ht https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4408865164173-Minecraft-with-Ray-Tracing-and-Advanced-Graphics-FAQtps://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360052769812
- Sometimes Switching between subpacks does not work if resource pack is activated in Global settings, in this case, you will need to restart game, sometimes several times.
- If Textures aren't being loaded in game (or resource pack isn't working), activate pack in global settings instead, there's a problem which affects some of devices if pack is activated in World settings.
If you still have trouble Downloading or Installing/using pack or you've faced other problems you can also visit my Discord Server & ask for help from others, or just comment here.
