Hello! As you know, Minecraft doesn't support Texture Packs anymore for 1.6 and now has Resource Packs. A Resource Pack also adds customized sounds! In this topic, you can learn how to make your very own Resource Pack!
If there is anything else you want me to review, I will update as soon as possible!
">Starting[/size;">']
First download the template on Mediafire [above]. Extract the zip into a folder you want. Now, in that folder there are the components of the Resource Pack which contaion texture, sound, etc.
">Resolution[/size;">']
There are many resolutions you can choose! Some examples are 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, and 128x128. The smaller the resolution, the faster the game will run. If you make a 128x128 resolution texture pack, you will need a good computer to run Minecraft. You can change the resolution by changing the image size. The default Minecraft resolution is 16x16, which is why Minecraft runs so smoothly on any computer. Its recommended to keep the same resolution for all you textures. Many famous Resource/ Texture Packs like Faithful and Dokucraft (links provided in the future) have resolutions of both 32x32 and 64x64.
Another useful tool for texturing is Paint.NET, mainly for pixel art. For sound files, I can recommend Audacity.And using a folder as a resource pack is definitely not the best way to do it. Minecraft reads .PNG and .png files in folders, but only .png files in .zip archives. So, when you're uploading your pack after zipping it, make sure to test it again.
Some good Texturing tools are Gimp 2 (FREE)and Adobe Photoshop (600+ USD). Paint is not recommended because there is no transparency. Another good software is Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/). When texturing, take you time. Go on Google Images and try to get some ideas. You don't want to rush, or else people won't download your Resource Pack or recommend their friends.
[size=x-large]*IMPORTANT: [size=large]When texturing you files, make sure your final image is in .png format. Minecraft only read png images.
There are three main sounds you can edit: game sounds, in-game music, and record discs. However, you must keep the audio files in .ogg or else they won't change. You can find a free converter here: http://audio.online-.../convert-to-ogg
To view your sounds in .ogg format, you can't you Windows Media Player (Window). I don't know about Mac because I don't have one. But if your on Windows, you must download VLC Player (FREE). You can search for it on Google. Its better to keep you sound files short in space.

I think that with resource packs they have to be a folder, not a zip.
There are two ways to finish your texture pack! Way 1 is new, way 2 is old.
Way 1:
1.) Copy and paste your folder into the resourcepacks folder located in your .minecraft folder.
Way 2:
1.) When finished, you want to put the Resource Pack folder that you changed on to your desktop. Right-Click on your desktop and go to New> WinRAR Zip archive.
2.) Select all the files in the folder and drag them into the WinRAR Zip archive.
3.)Put the WinRAR Zip into your .mincecraft\rescourcepacks folder.
4.) Now you can make a topic about your Resource Pack in the Minecraft Forums!
Thanks You you have enjoyed this topic. If you have anything to say, please post it in the comments!
on the music section, you can add the audacity program(free, record or edit music and sounds), or FL Studio(pay requiered, but it let's you create music). those programs can output .ogg

I think so. You should try. It worked for me with mp4 and flv (When I used the web converter provided in the topic)

I have a problem. I have changed the sounds and all, they are in ogg, have the same names... but the mob I changed (Villager) still uses the original sounds.

There are a few things that could be the problem.
Do not edit the assets folder in the .minecraft. The game will reset it to default every time you launch Minecraft
Make sure the file size is not too large or too long. For villager, the default is about 5kb. So I recommend to not exceed 30kb.(Other sounds have different sizes. Ex: Record disc is 2000 kb)
Also, the villager repeats it's sound frequently.
If not, download a successful Resource Pack. Check the files and see if you did anything different. If that doesn't work, I don't know what screwed up!
I am trying to add minecraft everyday acoustic to minecraft in place of the normal in game music. I converted it and moved it into my 2 converted texturepacks' zipped folders in the roaming folder. Is that how i add it to use as music? I have no idea what im doing. I just want minecraft everyday acoustic to be my in game music. Help from any1 would be great.

If you are adding it to a texture pack, it won't work. Make sure it is a resource pack and place it in the resource pack folder. Too listen to it, convert the audio/ music to .ogg format, put it in assets> minecraft> music. That folder contains all the in game music. Or you can put it as a record by putting it in assets> minecraft> records. Rename the file to another sound file in that folder so you replace that sound.
I am having issues with dowloaded resource packs. Each of the downloads are 1.6.2 resource packs from this site. I have dragged and dropped them into the resource pack folder but the only one that shows up in game is the default even though all the zips are in the folder when i look through finder/library/application support/minecraft/resource packs. I have run the mcpatcher to try and fix this to no avail, even completely reinstalling minecraft with a new launcher. Nothing has worked and im at the end of my rope...and yes, i've made sure all the right files are in there according to the previous posts. I use the Mac OS and i made sure to have the latest versions of everything, what am i doing wrong?

I don't have a Mac, so I don't know what the problem might be. Make sure the resource pack is in .minecraft> resourcepacks and not minecraft> resources. Also try to extract the files into a folder. Because now in 1.6, resource pack do not need to be in a zip. It can also be in a folder
I have made sure it's in the right folder with the proper format. I've even tried it with several of the most popular 1.6.2 resource packs available..none of them are showing up in game. I have tried both the .zip and the folder versions in the resourcepacks folder, with patcher and without...i've tried complete reinstalls of the minecraft launcher as well. Could it be the launcher version itself? is anyone using a mac able to get the 1.6.2 to use downloaded resource packs?

If you go into the Options/Resource Packs menu and click "Open Resource Packs Folder," do all the packs you installed show up in the window that opens?

Sorry. 40 people downloaded it before. I will fix this tomorrow!
I have fixed the download AND updated the post!
Your pack.mcmeta either doesn't exist or has a syntax error. Check for extra commas.
I think so. You should try. It worked for me with mp4 and flv (When I used the web converter provided in the topic)
