When trying to load PureBD and Custom BD are failing to load in the new version of Minecraft 1.16.3. Its does not work with Optifine Minecraft. Im using the 512x versions.

512x requires a a Nvidia 10 series or better graphics card.

AMD and Intel graphics can't run it.

What exactly would cause AMD cards to not be able to run it? Considering this is the only 512x pack with that limitation...

Support for a 32,768² pixel texture atlas is required due to how many textures are included. There are currently no Intel or AMD graphics cards that support that size texture.

If other packs are managing to work at 512x they generally either aren't complete, or sacrifice in some way to use less textures.

I will point out that OptiFine isn't even a part of this issue any more, it's simply vanilla Minecraft as MC1.16 added so many new textures.

Wow... Fair enough. I guess they never expected anything to need one to be that massive, since most games don't put all their textures on a single atlas. That is a pretty insane size.

Thanks for the explanation.
