Hello everyone!

Many people have been asking me for advice on making Texture Packs, and that is why I am making this blog.


I will teach you everything that I do to make texture packs.



First of all, you will need to get a program for archiving. I prefer downloading WinRAR, but some like to use 7zip.

Go to the Start Menu, and then in the search bar, type in exactly this: %appdata%
After you type that in, hit "Enter".
When you hit "Enter", You should be brought into a file.
Inside the file, double-click on ".minecraft".
Inside that folder, there should be ANOTHER folder called "Bin".
You need to double-click on that.
After that, you need to right-click on the folder "Minecraft.jar", and find "Open With".
When you move your mouse over "Open With", it should say that you can pick the archive program that you downloaded.
Click on that, and another folder should open.
This folder contains all of the pictures that you will want to edit.
Only take out "Achievement", "Armor", "Art", "Com", "Environment", "Font", "Gui", "Item", "Misc", "Mob", "Net", "Terrain", and "Title".
These are the files that you will use for your Texture Pack.
Drag all of those folders into your desktop, and then put them in another folder, to save space on your desktop.


Download an editing program.
There are many, but I prefer something called "Gimp".
This program that you will download will edit the pictures.
To edit pictures, go into your folder that you want to edit, right-click the picture, and hover your mouse over "Edit With" and then select your editing program and color.
Do not forget to save!


After you are done editing your pictures, you will probably want to make them useable.
Keep them in the folder that you had them in before, and right-click on the folder.
Hover your mouse over "Add To". Select "Compressed Folder".
This will convert it into a Zipped folder. (AKA a usable folder)
If you want to use it, then you will go to the Start Menu, type in %appdata%, press "Enter", Select ".minecraft", select "Texture Packs" and drag your Texture Pack into there.


That is all! If you want to learn how to make your Texture Pack on PMC, that will be on my next blog.




I hope you learned something!
