For Bedrock Edition packs, bedrock-samples on Github is the go-to for reference for texture packs, sounds, etc.

You really don't need a "program", For texturing I usually use paint.net, You can also use GIMP if you'd like.
Nothing else is really required.

All you need is a program capable of pixel art and some computer/google knowledge



Take a look at the FAQ for some program recommendations and some tutorials -> Texturing 101's FAQs on Planet Minecraft

First question is what do you want the pack to do?
(changing textures and loot tables – for example – is a whole different thing from adding new mobs/blocks with new 'behaviors'])

Both links given by TimeWarpDrive appear to be limited to creating the graphics.

For that part of a texture pack I tend to use GIMP which (like other high end programs) is probably overpowered if you just want to do a few simple graphics.
(GIMP - GNU Image Manipulation Program is a legaly free program (under a General Public License v3 & later)
Any program that will export in .png format will work, however.

In terms of getting the images into the game one also needs to construct a folder structure with the appropriate control files (at minimum a pack.mcmeta file).

https://mcreator.net/about/minecraft-resource-pack-maker is used by some (and see their tutorial @ https://mcreator.net/wiki/how-make-minecraft-resource-pack ) but I've not made use of that site.

The Texture packs page on PMC has a pointer to https://www.planetminecraft.com/group/texturing_101/ in the FAQ at the bottom, which has some good tutorials if you prefer build the pack manually.
