About
Excalibur is a medieval fantasy resource pack designed to enrich Minecraft adventures and bring kingdoms and villages to life while retaining the familiar look of the default-resolution textures. It replaces nearly all of the game’s textures with a medieval twist, adding alternate block variations, improved 3D block models, and a custom font. The pack also includes visual updates across blocks and items, from sulfur and cinnabar brick variants, copper fixtures and chains, and shelves to spears, armor, and custom menu and editing-screen graphics. Entity changes include random mob appearances and additions such as nautiluses, zombie nautiluses, camel husks, parched, and copper golems; random mob features require OptiFine. The scenes shown for the pack range from forest and desert towns to castles, docks, mushroom forests, and icy mountains.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.
Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.12 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
Privacy
Sends nothing
A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content declared.
