How to Install Texture Packs in Minecraft

While the Bedrock version is elementary and only requires a download from the Minecraft marketplace, installing a texture pack on the Java version can be frustrating if you aren't used to modding games. We've made it easy below with instructions and screenshots to help you.

Step One: Download the texture pack.

You can download texture packs for Minecraft from anywhere they're provided. They generally come in .zip format, but this is not a requirement. Be careful where you download the texture pack! As always, practice safe browsing habits. When you download it, you can keep it in your download folder, but make sure you have the folder you placed it in open in your file explorer.
