How do I use a texture that I can only download as a PNG image?
I am asking this because I have quite a few texture packs that can only be downloaded as images (Zombie, Large tropical fish, Squid, etc.) and I really want to actually use.

The png for the texture[​s] needs to be in a proper folder structure for the game to be able to find it.
For java, the resource pack [​newer name for a texture pack as it may include resources other than textures] goes in the "resourcepacks" folder
q.v. https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorial:Loading_a_resource_pack for details

The resouce pack itself is comprised of a series of folders and a "pack.mcmeta" file [​a text formated file that tells minecraft the version, etc,]
q.v. ]minecraft.wiki/w/Resource_pack#Directory_structure

As a shortcut, you may be able to find a texture pack for the version you're playing and crib all or most of the folder structure from that source.
