Deep Dark Texture Pack

30 animated 3D models straight out of the Deep Dark: the Warden, sculk, echo shards and the Ancient City. Two complete armor sets with real 3D animated helmets and custom armor textures, a greatsword, a mace, a spear, a bow, a shield, staffs, talismans, tools and decorations.

This is the resource pack only: a standard Minecraft Java resource pack (1.21.4+), no plugin needed. Give the items with the vanilla commands included in the zip, or plug the models into your own plugin, datapack or item configs.

Want the abilities, set bonuses, cooldowns and lore too? Get the full Deep Dark Pack for ExecutableItems: it includes these models.

Trailer

The trailer shows the full Deep Dark Pack: the abilities, particles and sounds come from its ExecutableItems configs and are not part of this texture pack. The models, textures and animations are the same.

The 30 models

• Warden armor set (4): Warden Helm (3D animated head), Warden Carapace, Warden Legguards, Warden Treads.
• Ancient Guardian armor set (4): Guardian Helm (3D great helm), Guardian Cuirass, Guardian Tassets, Guardian Sabatons.
• Weapons (8): Warden's Wrath (greatsword), Shrieker Mace, Echo Blade, Resonance Spear, Ancient Warhammer, Whisper Dagger, Shrieker Bow, Aegis of the Deep (shield).

• Tools and consumables (4): Resonance Pickaxe, Sculk Hatchet, Elixir of Echoes, Ancient City Key.
• Decorations (2): Warden Trophy, Soul Brazier.

What you get

• 3D models with 20 fps animations: idle loops, and a casting loop that plays while the item is being used. The animations are client-side: they run without any plugin.
• Real 3D animated helmets and custom armor textures (equipment models) for both sets.
• The same pose in first and third person for every held item.
• GIVE_COMMANDS.txt: one ready-to-use vanilla /give command per item, armor included.

How to use it

The zip is a ready resource pack: pack.mcmeta and assets/ei/ at its root.

1. Your server: set the zip as the server resource pack (resource-pack in server.properties, or your pack plugin), or copy its assets/ei/ folder into your existing server pack.
2. Get the items: run the commands of GIVE_COMMANDS.txt, for example:
   • /give @s minecraft:netherite_sword[item_model="ei:deepdark/warden_greatsword",item_name="Warden's Wrath"]
   • Armor: /give @s minecraft:netherite_chestplate[item_model="ei:deepdark/warden_chestplate",equippable={slot:"chest",asset_id:"ei:warden"}]
3. Your own plugin or configs: every model is ei:deepdark/<name> (the item_model component), the armor textures are the equipment models ei:warden and ei:ancient_guardian.

Requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4 or newer (item models and equipment models need 1.21.4+), server and players. Tested on 1.21.11.
• No plugin required. Not compatible with Bedrock.

The license covers your own servers: players downloading the pack when they join is normal use; sharing or reselling the files is not allowed.
