Minecraft: How To Make A Custom Texture Resource Pack

thegamer.com:

One of Minecraft's biggest strengths has always been its customisation. Players have near-limitless control over not just how their in-game worlds look, but the appearance and function of the game itself. Mods and datapacks allow players to change the way the game works on a fundamental level, or add new functionality entirely.

If you're looking for a way to spice up your Minecraft experience that doesn't require any coding knowledge, however, resource packs are a great way to breathe new life into your worlds. These allow you to change the appearance of things in-game, and if you're playing Java Edition, you're free to add any packs you like. There are countless fantastic community-created packs out there, but if you're looking to create your own, this guide will walk you through the basics.

The first thing you'll need to do is set up your folders. Create a folder with the name of your pack, and inside that folder create another folder with called "assets". Inside "assets", create one more folder called "minecraft". This is case-sensitive, so make sure not to capitalise any of the names. The first folder you'll want to make inside "minecraft" is one called "textures", though we won't use that right now.

Once your folders are set up, there are a few more initial steps to take. If you want your pack to have an icon in the resource packs menu in-game, add the image you want to the base folder (the one that just has the name of your pack) and call it "pack.png." This image must be square, and a resolution of 128x128 works best. Lastly, you need to add the "pack.mcmeta" file. Open Notepad (or any other text editor of your choosing), and paste in the following text:

"pack": {
