Minecraft – Do Mods handle their textures independently

minecraft-java-edition

Some mods add new Block with their own textures, i am wondering if these textures are independent from Texture Packs one can download which change the vanilla minecraft textures.

ie. If i download a HD Texture Pack and used it, will the new blocks and textures of the mod still show up in their original form? or will the Texture Pack replace them with nothing (even throw up errors) since it has no files for these new non-vanilla textures

Resource packs will only replace the graphics (and presumably sound effects) of the resources they are overriding. Everything else will, in general, default to their vanilla graphics. I have often used an HD vanilla texture pack in a modded environment. The contrast between what is replaced and what is not is not really that big of a deal unless the texture pack is a drastic change from general minecraft appearance.
