everytime i try to put texture packs into the texture pack folder and load them that way it doesnt work. they dont show up in the folder, and i dont want to just replace default .png and back up default thats annoying... how do i fix?
When you get a texture pack, instead of opening it, save it and put it into the texture pack folder. The texture pack has to be a zip, it can't be a folder, or anything else.
I had to search a hell of a lot because apparently people don't like to explain things :\. This is what I found:
1) find minecraft.jar in .minecraft/bin/
2) (I use 7zip so this may be different) right click and select open/view archive
3) select all of the following items (ctrl click) and copy them to a new folder called "New Pack" (or whatever)
(folders:)
armor
art
environment
font
gui
item
misc
mob
terrain
title
(files:)
pack.png
pack.txt
particles.png
terrain.png
3)unzip your new texture pack and navigate to where you see terrain.png
4)copy everything in that folder and paste it into the previously created folder "New Pack"
5)if the new pack does not have a pack.png/.txt make no biggy, I'm pretty sure they are optional
6)right click on "New Pack" and select add to archive, make sure you make it a .zip, .rar and all other compression formats won't work
7)if it isn't already place your new texture pack into the "texturepacks" folder in your .minecraft folder
If it still doesn't work I might be able to dig up the page I found instructions on.
If that didn't show up in your search would you tell me your search terms? I'm trying to make that easily findable since this comes up multiple times each day. I know search sucks, but maybe I can add terms from your search to improve returns.
ahhhhh thank you, that would have helped a lot. Would have been nice if one of the many people who viewed the threads would post something instead of just looking at it though :\.
I think the best way to make your thread easy to find would be to make it a sticky, you should look into that. I can't really remember what all I searched for, but I think the reason I never found yours is because of the vast number of threads there are of people asking about it. Maybe you should try adding a list of common search terms relating to what it is at the bottom of your post (like those bs websites that just list popular search terms to get hits), that might work.
Once again thank you for explaining it well, it's a shame I didn't find that before.

I do.
HOW TO: Create a Minecraft texture pack. SIMPLIFIED.
