In an effort to preserve the game's core art style, Minecraft has built an entirely new resource pack and improved the visuals in a variety of different ways, and Default+ is the latest in a long line of releases. The popularity of these packs is definitely a good thing, as we've seen some pretty spectacular resource pack releases over the years that do a nice job of tweaking the vanilla visuals, and Default+ is one such pack as well. It takes Minecraft's vanilla visuals and manages to iron out most of its flaws, bringing them back to give players a truly remarkable experience.
The goal of adding default resource packs is to give Minecraft's vanilla textures a little depth. Normally when you look at vanilla Minecraft's environment or item textures they are rather flat and unattractive, but after applying this pack you'll see that they actually look quite realistic and lively. Beyond that, the pack also gets rid of much of the noise in the textures, and also gives the color palette a pretty significant lift to ensure it synergizes with the design of the newly implemented textures. The game's core art style of course remains the same as vanilla, so fans of original Minecraft visuals will definitely be delighted.
The default + resource pack solution is as shown on x16, so as long as you have a computer that can run vanilla Minecraft at a stable FPS, you can get a stable framerate without any trouble.
