Your image is 128x128.
The others you linked are much, much larger. 3840x2160

You cannot get the same level of detail in that tiny image.

Okay, would it be a better solution to make your own textures instead of using a smaller texture?

This all depends on what you're trying to do, exactly.

You can make a large image with as much 'detail' as you want.
But a 128x128 image only has 128 pixels across and down to work with. If you try to "expand" that, it will look like junk.

If you take a very large image and shrink it down to 128x128, you lose the vast majority of the detail.

So...what are you trying to do, and why?
