Archon Reforged Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need the Archon mod installed for this resource pack to work?
Yes, Archon Reforged requires the original Archon mod to be installed. The resource pack only replaces textures and models for items that Archon adds, so without the mod, you won't see any changes.
Why are my weapons still showing flat textures instead of 3D models?
Make sure the resource pack is loaded above any conflicting packs in your resource pack list, and that you've reloaded your world or restarted the game after applying it. If using Optifine or similar mods, verify that custom model data is enabled in your settings.
Can I use Archon Reforged with other resource packs at the same time?
Yes, but load Archon Reforged higher in your resource pack priority list than packs that modify vanilla textures. If another pack also modifies Archon items, whichever pack is loaded higher will take priority.
How do I see the 3D weapon models clearly in first-person view?
The 3D models display in first-person by default when you hold the weapons. If they're not visible, try adjusting your hand position in video settings or ensure you're holding the weapon in your main hand rather than your off-hand.
Will this resource pack affect my FPS or performance?
Archon Reforged has minimal performance impact since it only changes visuals without adding new blocks or entities. The 3D models are optimized and shouldn't noticeably affect frame rates on most systems.
Do the 3D weapons change how combat works or deal different damage?
No, Archon Reforged is purely visual and doesn't alter any gameplay mechanics, damage values, or combat behavior. All weapon functionality remains exactly the same as the original Archon mod.
What if I only like some of the new textures and want to keep the originals for certain items?
You can manually edit the resource pack files to revert specific items to their original textures, though this requires familiarity with resource pack structure. Alternatively, load the original Archon textures in a lower-priority resource pack to selectively override changes.
Are the 3D weapon models visible to other players on a multiplayer server?
Yes, resource packs are client-side, so other players will see your weapons with the 3D models if they also have Archon Reforged installed. Players without the pack will see the default Archon textures.
Does this work with shader mods like Optifine or Sodium?
Archon Reforged works with most shader and optimization mods, but ensure your mod loader and resource pack settings are compatible. Some shader packs may affect how the 3D models render, so test in-game if you notice visual issues.
Can I use Archon Reforged on older versions of Minecraft?
Archon Reforged is designed for specific Minecraft versions that match the Archon mod version you're using. Check the resource pack's compatibility notes to confirm it supports your game version.
