Refurbished Furniture PBR Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
I installed the pack but my furniture doesn't shine or glow. What am I missing?
The reflections, roughness and glow only appear while a shader pack is running, so turn on a shader pack that supports PBR textures. Also check that the pack is enabled in your Resource Packs menu and that the shader's specular and normal mapping options aren't switched off.
Does this resource pack change how the furniture looks without shaders?
Not really. The pack keeps the default colors and shapes of every furniture piece and does not change the base designs. Without shaders, the furniture looks like the normal Furniture Mod: Refurbished textures.
Which furniture blocks get PBR textures?
The kitchen appliances are the Fridge, Microwave, Stove, Toaster, Range Hood and Frying Pan. The electronics are the Television, Computer, Ceiling Fan and Electricity Generator, and the lighting blocks are the Ceiling Light and Lightswitch. The pack also covers the Basin, Sink, Cutting Board, Kitchen Cabinetry, Kitchen Drawer, Kitchen Storage Cabinet, Storage Jar, Chair and Rubbish Bin.
Some of my furniture pieces don't look any different with shaders on. Is it broken?
Probably not. The pack only updates the blocks on its list, so any other furniture keeps the standard textures. If a listed block like the Stove or Television also looks plain, check your resource pack order and make sure your shader has PBR support enabled.
What blocks actually glow in the dark with this pack?
Emissive glow maps are added to electronic screens and lights, such as the Television, Computer and Ceiling Light. These glow when you use a shader pack that reads emissive textures. A dark room or a night scene makes the glow easiest to see.
Can I use this with Bare Bones?
Yes. It works alongside Bare Bones modded textures, but this PBR pack must sit higher in your resource pack list than Bare Bones. If you put it lower, Bare Bones covers its textures and you lose the PBR effects on the furniture.
Why does my wooden furniture look matte instead of shiny?
This is intended. Wooden pieces like the Chair and the Kitchen Cabinetry get natural roughness textures, so light reflects off them softly. The strong specular shine is saved for metal appliances like the Stove, Fridge and Toaster.
Do I need Furniture Mod: Refurbished installed for this to do anything?
Yes. This pack only contains textures for that mod's furniture blocks. Without the furniture mod, there is nothing in the game for it to apply to.
Does the server need this pack, or just me?
It's a resource pack, so it only runs on your client. You can use it on a multiplayer server as long as you have Furniture Mod: Refurbished and a shader pack set up on your own game, and other players won't see your PBR textures unless they use the pack too.
Will this pack hurt my FPS?
The pack itself is just extra texture maps, so most of the performance cost comes from the shader pack you run with it. If frames drop around big furniture builds, lower your shader quality settings first.
