Hello, I am IJZM and i am creating this tutorial to help you how to make a texturepack. I am making this, because wehn I started making texturepacks i found it dificult where do i found all the stuff i need.

First part: The ideas



First step: The Resolution


First you need to chose what resolution will your texture pack will be. It can be 8x8; 16x16; 32x32; 64x64; 128x128... Because this is your first time i would recomed chosing 16x16 (the native resolution).


Second step: The category


The category is simply chosing how will it be. It can be realistic, simplistec, themed or other. I chosed simplistic because its the easiest one.

Second part: The programs


There are plenty of programs you will need to use to make a texture pack:

A Zip program


You can use either WinZip, WinRar, 7Zip or others.

A Image editor program


You can really use any image editor program, but it needs to handle transparency. I recomend using GIMP2

Third part: The pack



First step: Umpacking



Pres windows key+r, then type %Appdata% , when you are in your application data folder, click the .minecraft folder. Then, go to bin and finally with the Zip program extract the next folders and files::
Archivement
Armour
Art
Enviroment
GUI
Item
Misc
Mob
Terrain
Title
terrain.png
pack.png
particles.png
pack.txt

Second Step: Editing


Open your image editing program and first edit all the blocks (terrain.png) When finish estart with the items (GUI/items.png)
Now start with some of the minecraft buttons (GUI/icons.png)
The pack.png is the logo of your texture.
