About this video: If you want to know how to make a texture pack in Minecraft, this is the video for you. It is our complete guide on how to make your own Minecraft texture pack. We also you how to make a resource pack in Minecraft as texture packs and resource packs are the exact same thing.

Nevertheless, let’s go ahead and get started learning how to create a texture pack for Minecraft. First things first, open the Minecraft Launcher and click on the “Installations” tab at the top. Then, hover over the “Latest Release” installation and click the folder icon that appears.

This will open your .minecraft folder. In this folder, click on the “versions” folder and find the folder for the Minecraft version that you want to create a texture pack for. Open this folder, and you will see a .jar file with the version of Minecraft you selected on it. Make sure to click “View” and turn “File Name Extensions” on in File Manger in order to see the .jar at the end. This is required for making a texture pack in MInecraft.

Now, right click on the version.jar file, click “Copy”, and then go to your desktop and click “paste”.

Next, right click .jar file and rename it. Change the “.jar” to “.zip”. When you do this you will get a warning, and you want to confirm/continue with renaming the file and changing the extension.

Open the .zip file by double clicking on it. In this file, there will be an “assets” folder. Drag-and-drop this “assets” folder to your desktop.

The assets folder is where all of Minecraft’s textures are stored. It is what you will include in your texture pack in order to make a resource pack in Minecraft.

Before we get started editing the assets for Minecraft though, create a new folder on your desktop and move the “assets” folder to it.

In the assets folder, there are block textures, map textures, sounds, menus, fonts, and even the Minecraft main menu splash screen text. It’s truly amazing what can be changed when making your own texture pack.

Once you are done customizing your texture pack and making changes, we need to create a “pack.mcmeta” file in order to actually allow this to work as a texture pack/resource pack.

To do this, right click in the folder you created and added the “assets” folder to. Then, create a New, text document. Open this new text document in a code editor. I’d recommend VSCode at the link in the description above.

In this text document go to the description above and copy the code from the Minecraft Wiki. Make sure to update the “pack_format” setting to the Minecraft version that you are making the texture pack for.

Once you have the code added to the text document, click “File”, “Save As”, and then save the file with the name “pack.mcmeta”. The make sure the “Save Type As” is set to “All Files” in order to make sure it actually saves as a .mcmeta file.

With that, you have created a Minecraft texture. Just select the pack.mcmeta and the assets folder, right-click on them, and click “Send To” and “Compressed Zip Folder”. This will make a .zip file with your resource pack information in it. This is the file type you need when using a resource pack in Minecraft.

At this point though, you know how to make a texture pack in Minecraft. You can add this texture pack to Minecraft just like you would any other texture pack.
