Texture Pack Summary

I reviewed the Pixel Bits Texture Pack by Ninja Squirrel Gaming, released in 2022 and updated as recently as July 2025. This 8×8 retro pack costs 830 minecoins, and aims to bring a colourful, nostalgic, pixel-art style to Minecraft Bedrock. The GUI is charming but flawed, with bright menus and custom splash screens that fit the retro theme, yet the icons in the creative inventory are extremely blurry and difficult to read. Once in the world, though, the pack immediately shines. Its bright skies, Toy-Story-style clouds and varied block textures make the world feel playful and vibrant. Blocks remain surprisingly clean and readable for such a low-resolution design, and the creators use variation cleverly to avoid the flat, repetitive look that often plagues 8-bit packs.

Passive mobs are a standout, with sheep, cows, pigs and chickens all given expressive faces, protruding ears, 3D noses and charming little details like curly tails. Horses and undead variants are slightly blurrier but still clean and recognisable. Underground areas stay readable, and lush caves remain atmospheric thanks to bright glowberries and soft lighting. The pack continues to impress in villages, where cobblestone, paths and logs all use block variation beautifully. The iron golem is one of the stars of the pack, featuring fully 3D facial shapes, raised eyebrows and chunky limbs that look handcrafted rather than copied from vanilla. Hostile mobs are equally strong, especially the jawless skeleton design and the zombie with exposed 3D brain - genuinely creative touches that elevate the pack far beyond a simple retro reskin.

As the review moves into the Ocean Monument, Armoury, Nether, End and Ancient City, the pack’s weaknesses become clearer. Some blocks, items and ores struggle with blur, copy-paste reuse and scaling issues - especially items inside frames, copper blocks, weapons and carved pumpkins. The Nether and End lack the strong personality shown elsewhere, and several mobs, such as the ghast and wither, fall back on very plain designs. Despite these dips, the pack still delivers a surprising amount of creativity, including 3D detailing on Drowned clothing, Sniffer flowers, Ravager horns, and a nicely stylised Ender Dragon. The end result is a very good 7/10 retro pack: full of charm, clever modelling and strong art direction, but held back slightly by blur, shortcuts and inconsistency.

Pros

• Excellent mob creativity - 3D zombie brains, shaped iron golems and expressive farm animals stand out.
• Clean low-resolution blocks - Despite being 8×8, world textures stay readable and vibrant with strong variation.
• Charming retro atmosphere - Bright colours, cartoony clouds and limited-pixel aesthetics feel fun and nostalgic.
• Great value and updated - Fully updated for 1.21.100 and priced well for the quality offered.
• Strong village designs - Cobblestone, path blocks and houses use variation beautifully to enhance world building.

Cons

• Blurry GUI and icons - Creative inventory items are hard to read and strain the eyes.
• Inconsistent quality - Some blocks and items suffer from blur, noise or incomplete detailing.
• Copy-paste textures - Certain stones and utility blocks reuse the same designs too often.
• Underwhelming Nether and End - Several mobs and dimensions feel too close to vanilla.
• Scaling issues - Items in frames and bundles held by armour stands appear incorrectly sized.
