Texture packs alter the appearance of the GUI, enemies, items, and even blocks in games! While some packs alter all of these, others only alter one or two. While some texture packs will convert the 16×16 native resolution to higher quality “HD” textures, others will maintain the original resolution.
Some may alter your environment such that it resembles a video game, while others will place you in a world full of pastel colors. You’re likely to find a texture pack that suits you because there are SO many different types available.
Make sure the texture pack you choose is compatible with the version of Minecraft you’re using because some support the most recent version while others only support older ones. You can quickly sort by Category, Resolution, Game Version, and more when you visit the Texture Pack section of Planet Minecraft. Choose the right game version, then look through the countless packs.
Are Minecraft Resource Packs and Texture Packs the Same Thing?
Yes, indeed! Resource packs and texture packs for Minecraft are identical to one another. Resource packs have taken the place of texture packs in Java Edition 1.6. These packs alter the game’s audio, music, language files, fonts, splash texts, and other elements in addition to the game’s graphics.
We’re using Ignaf’s Quadral Texture Pack for this lesson. We adore this pack’s color, and we also adore how faithfully Vanilla its resolution is.

8. Click “Resource Packs…” for a second time.
