Faithless is a 16x texture pack for Minecraft Java Edition that reimagines vanilla's look across building, redstone, survival, and PvP without changing how the game plays. It supports Minecraft 1.20 through 1.21, needs no mods or loaders, and installs like any other resource pack.
What changes with the Faithless resource pack
StitchSprites built Faithless to stay faithful to vanilla Minecraft's shapes and colors while giving nearly every block, item, and mob a cleaner, more detailed look. The pack reworks the main menu, crafting and trading interfaces, ore and cave textures, and combat-focused item art, so building, redstone, survival, and PvP all get a consistent visual upgrade. Players who want an even closer match to the original textures might also compare it with Faithful 32x, which favors strict vanilla accuracy over Faithless's heavier stylization.

Supported Minecraft versions for Faithless
The most recent Faithless release, version 1.2, was published in August 2024 and lists support for Minecraft 1.20.5 through 1.21. The pack has not shipped an update since, so newer Minecraft releases are not confirmed to work. Java resource packs are usually still loadable on versions newer than the one they were built for: expect a pack format warning at the title screen, but the textures generally continue to work until a later game update changes texture paths outright.
- Latest release: version 1.2, published August 2024
- Declared Minecraft versions: 1.20 through 1.21
- Edition: Minecraft Java Edition only
- Loaders or mods required: none, vanilla-compatible
Faithless texture pack vs. the Bedrock Marketplace map
This page covers the free Faithless resource pack for Minecraft Java Edition, created by StitchSprites and distributed through Modrinth. A separate, unrelated product also uses the Faithless name: a paid map on the Bedrock Marketplace made by CubeCraft. If you are browsing the Marketplace on a console or mobile device, that listing is not this resource pack, and this pack will not install on Bedrock Edition.
Known limitations
- Licensed as all rights reserved; download only from the Modrinth project page, no mirror hosted here.
- No update since August 2024, so support for Minecraft releases after 1.21 is unconfirmed.
- Java Edition only; there is no Bedrock version of this pack.
- No OptiFine, Fabric, or Forge required to use it.
Questions about Faithless.
4 questions
Which Minecraft version does Faithless support?
The latest Faithless release, version 1.2 from August 2024, declares support for Minecraft 1.20.5 through 1.21. It has not been updated since, so newer versions are not confirmed to work. Java resource packs usually still load on newer releases with a pack format warning at the title screen, and the textures typically keep working despite the warning.
Is Faithless still being updated?
No new version has shipped since August 2024, when version 1.2 was published on Modrinth. The pack still works on the Minecraft versions it declares support for, and older Java resource packs commonly keep functioning on newer releases even without a fresh update, aside from an occasional format warning.
Is this the same Faithless as the Bedrock Marketplace map?
No. This page is the free Faithless resource pack for Minecraft Java Edition by StitchSprites, distributed through Modrinth. A separate, paid map also called Faithless is sold on the Bedrock Marketplace by CubeCraft. The two are unrelated products for different Minecraft editions.
Does Faithless need OptiFine to work?
No. Faithless is vanilla-compatible and works in Minecraft Java Edition without OptiFine, Fabric, or Forge. Download the zip file, drop it into your resourcepacks folder, and select it from the in-game Resource Packs menu.
