Q&A for How to Install Minecraft Resource Packs

You need to make sure you have done the utmost research for the pack, and install it if safe.

In Minecraft 1.10/1.10.2 you can go to a Minecraft resource/texture pack site and download the desired pack. Then, move to your download files and open your Minecraft texture pack file. With both tabs open, move the downloaded texture pack to the official Minecraft texture pack folder. Then, in-game, go to options and enter the "resource pack/texture pack" screen, select the pack you just downloaded and enjoy!

No, that is only the case for mods. Resource packs are a capability built into the Minecraft game itself.

When you click into 'Options' then 'Resource Packs', a little button takes you to your resource folder pack.

Is it zipped? If so, check inside it and pull out the unzipped version.

You can open your files, and drag the zipped file onto your desktop. From there, open Minecraft and then go to option, then to resource packs. Click on open resource pack folder. With the Minecraft tab small, you can drag the file from your desktop into the resource pack folder. It should then show up in your Minecraft packs.

You don't have to do it, but extracting it will make it duplicated in the texture packs, so you need to right-click the icon and press "Extract all..." and wait.

Unzip the folder in order to access the files inside the folder. Use an unzipper or do it yourself.
