How to Install Minecraft Resource Packs

Installing Minecraft Resource Packs

As of Minecraft 1.6 texture packs have been officially renamed as resource packs. This guide explains how to install resource packs of all resolutions.
1. Download a texture pack from Google. Do not un-zip the downloaded file.
2. Open Minecraft and click Resource Packs from the settings menu.

3. Click Open resource pack folder. This opens up the folder where the texture packs are stored. If the folder does not open you will need to manually locate it:

• Windows: %AppData%\.minecraft\resourcepacks
• Linux: ~/.minecraft/resourcepacks
• Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/resourcepacks

4. Place the texture pack in the folder leaving the file as a .zip.
