I applied some tweakes to the chest textues. I think they look a lot better now. Redstone chests are now harder to distinguish from normal chests, just like they are in vanilla
The chest model is now also compatible with BBE, that results in huge performance improvements:
(The same thing also applies to bells)
In Minecraft version 26.2, signs and hanging signs are being rendered as normal block models, instead of block entities like before.

Nautilus3D is a Default 3D Resource-pack, mainly focused on 3D Models with a vanilla style.
We aim to provide a highly polished pack with an emphasis on decorative blocks, strong optimization, and various little fixes.
Feel free to leave bug-reports & feature suggestions our [GitHub issue-page](github.com/FabianMPunkt/Nautilus3D/issues/new/c… "GitHub issue-page")!
We highly recommend using Fabric (+ Sodium & Iris) since it is the defacto standard nowadays. OptiFine & Forge should work aswell, but you might run into issues with OptiFine since it has become somewhat outdated in recent years.
Some features (like the Trident) require OptiFine to work as intended.
For Fabric you can use these alternatives:
Nautilus3D is taking extensive use of Respackopts, a mod that allows for custom Resoucrepack options and configs.
We used to make separate editions of the pack for Minecraft 1.8 - 1.12 up until Nautilus3D V1.8
If you still play on Minecraft 1.8 - 1.12 you can find older Nautilus3D versions in the GitHub Release Archive folder.
The only thing really impacting the in-game performance are our fancy leaves and their variations. We tried our best to make them as fast as possible, while not compromising on their variety.
If you're on Fabric/Sodium, we recommend using the "Cull Less Leaves" mod to get back a bit of performance. If you wish to disable the leaves, you can do so using Respackopts!
I'ts been a high priority for us to make Nautilus3D play nice with the vast majority of shaders out there. That's also why we don't include any fancy flower / vegetation models, because that would look horrible combined with wind effects. (Also, it's really hard to make lol)
Additonally, due to Minecrafts dodgy ambient occlusion and complete lack of Anti-Aliasing, even basic shaders would make a great difference.
This is especially visible on bushy leaves.
Our recommendations:
Other shaders will work aswell ofcourse, these are just my personal favourites :P
All these are in-game screenshots with colour-grading and a lens blur added in Photoshop
