Hi, I subscribed to the Basic Tier (€4.50/month) and linked my Discord account to Patreon, but I still can’t access the Basic download channels/posts.
My Patreon membership page shows Basic Tier as active, but the “Optimum Realism R2.9.0 Basic Downloads” post is still locked and asks me to upgrade.
Could you please check my role/access?
Thank you.
Thanks, but I need help from a human moderator/admin.
My Patreon shows Basic Tier active (€4.50/month), but the Basic downloads post is still locked and asks me to upgrade. I also don’t see any Basic download channels on Discord.
Could a moderator please manually check my Patreon/Discord role or tell me where the current Basic Tier download link is?
I am specifically looking for the Java 1.21.1 / 1.21.x 256x download.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes, I managed to download it from the website. I was confused because the Patreon posts were locked.
My current issue is that when I use Optimum Realism R3.8.0 256x in Minecraft Java/Fabric, some textures appear purple and black. I’m testing on Minecraft 1.21.1 with Fabric, Sodium, Iris, Continuity, EMF and ETF installed.
Do I also need Indium or any specific setting/mod for the resource pack to work correctly?

Sure, here is my current setup:
Minecraft Java/Fabric 1.21.1
Mods installed:
- Fabric API
- Sodium
- Iris Shaders
- Continuity
- Entity Texture Features (ETF)
- Entity Model Features (EMF)
- TL Skin and Cape
Resource packs:
- Optimum Realism R3.8.0 256x
- Fabric Mods
- Default
No Patrix, no Make it Grassy addon, no Advanced Foliage addon currently enabled.
The purple/black missing textures appear on vegetation/terrain when Optimum Realism is enabled.
I have not installed Indium or Polytone yet because I couldn’t find Indium in my launcher. Should I remove any of these mods or install a specific extra mod for Fabric/Sodium compatibility?
Fabric Mods
Default
what fabric mods?
Also don't use TLauncher
