About Patrix
This is one of the most realistic texture packs available for Minecraft. Patrix turns blocks into photorealistic materials with PBR textures, normal maps and parallax occlusion effects. Stone looks like real rock, wood has a visible grain, and water reflects its surroundings.
It needs shaders that support PBR (such as Complementary) and a powerful graphics card with at least 6 GB of VRAM.
