What's the first thing I need to get Minecraft in 4K?
A computer with the necessary processing power to generate the light and shadow effects of our vision. For the specific case of a photorealistic looking Minecraft, we will need to have in our PC a processor with at least 8 cores, 3200 Mhz, 32 GB of RAM, and good 8 GB nVidia or Gigabyte graphics or more paper ..
What should I download to get it in 4K?
You will need to download 5 files from 4 different Web sites: a mod specially designed to greatly enhance the graphics via a shader, another mod that includes an HD texture pack, the classic Optifine mod to support said textures and have Minecraft Forge version 1.14.4 or later.
Of the 4 web addresses, 2 are paid: First the Ultimate Immersion is a mod and also a texture pack in HD, which has plans ranging between $ 8 - $ 50 (the maximum resolution quality varies by plan), and secondly, the Sonic shader Ether, which will give the realistic touch to high definition textures, has plans ranging between $ 10 - $ 25.
