(In pack format 3 and higher (1.11 and higher) all of the file names in the resource pack should have small letters only)

Getting started

Note: This tutorial should take around 1 to 1.5 hours to complete.

Resource packs can modify textures, models, animations, music sounds, user interfaces, and languages.

What not to do

There are some things that you should not do before creating a resource pack. Here is a list of "don'ts":

Anything that violates Mojang's terms of use for Minecraft.
Release Minecraft versions or modifications that allow players to play without having bought Minecraft from Mojang.
Release the decompiled source code of Minecraft in any way.

Requirement

Any text editor should work but the suggested is a text editor using some sort of programming IDE.

Note
Make sure the file extension is .mcmeta and not .txt when you rename it. You may be warned that changing a file name extension could make the file unusable. This is okay!

If you can’t see file extensions, you can turn them on by going to the View menu of the file explorer and checking the checkbox for filename extensions.
