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!

Question

Do have to get Forge to install Minecraft resource packs?

Community Answer

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

Question

I put my resource pack into the resource pack folder but it does not show, so I can't select it. What is the reason?

Community Answer

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

Question

How do I move my texture pack to Minecraft?

Community Answer

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.

Question

How do I extract the files when installing Minecraft resource packs?

Community Answer

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.

Question

I tried moving the resource pack into the resource pack folder but it isn't working. The file is still zipped and the version is correct. What's going on?

Community Answer

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