  1. go to your .minecraft
  2. in "versions", select a version you want to create the texture pack for. Folders like "1.16.5-rc1" don't work. Please make sure the name of your folder is the version number and nothing else. By the way: Make sure you've played the version you're making texture packs for at least once. Otherwise this won't work.
  3. copy the jar file (Type is "executable jar file") and paste it whereever you like.
  4. If your'e using Windows make sure you can see file extentions. To enable this, simply open the file explorer, click "view" and check "file extentions".
  5. go back to your pasted Minecraft version and add ".zip" to the end of your file. It should be called "1.16.5.jar.zip" or something like this.
  6. Windows will warn you. Make sure you never do this with the original file and ONLY with the copy.
  7. open the ZIP archive.
  8. go to "assets/minecraft".
  9. "textures" is the default texturepack. Copy it and paste it whereever you like. Use this as a template for your texturepack.
  10. Create a new folder - this will be your new texturepack.
  11. Use the default texturepack to find outh the filenames of the textures. Everytime you create a new texture this will overrwrite the textures of the other packs. If you wanted to change the texture of the dirt block and only this texture you ned to create "block/dirt.png" and nothing else.
  12. Congratulations! Next, let's add "pack.mcmeta":
  13. Create a new text file in your texturepack's root folder and call it "pack.txt". Open it and use my template:
    {
    "pack": {
    "pack_format": 6,
    "description": "A very basic example"
    }
    }    Change the description, save the file and rename it to "pack.mcmeta". Confirm the warning and create the last image file: pack png. This 64*64-large file contains the icon for your texturepack.
  14. Compress the texturepack to a zip file (you can find hundereds of tools in the www) and your'e done!
I highly recommend pixelorama to edit pixel art graphics: https://orama-interactive.itch.io/pixelorama
