Basically, I made my texture pack and I want to use it. But when I put it into the resourcepack folder, it doesn't show as an option to select the pack.
Can someone help me? I am not able to figure it out

is your pack in .zip format or just a folder? A common problem is zipping your pack and have a extra folder that will make the pack not show up in-game.

If you have a zip, make sure you open it and see your assets folder, pack icon and MCMETA file - and not a folder with those files inside of it instead.

If you post your pack I can see what's exactly wrong, but if you don't have extra folders then something is wrong with the mcmeta file.

Try replacing the inside contents of the mcmeta file with the code below and see if it shows up then ⬇️

{
"pack": {
"pack_format": 1,
"description": "test"
}
}

Check if resourcepack have correct file structure, so it's content is directly in zip/folder

The structure should follow this scheme:

zip/resourcepack
      |
      assets
      pack.mcmeta
      pack.png

If that's the case - check .MCMETA file and see what pack_format is put there, for 1.8.9 it should be '1'

Too high number, reserved for later versions could be the reason of pack not showing up


One more thing: Does this 1.8.9 installation run in default .minecraft directory? Resourcepack put in default location, while the installation is running in different directory could also be the cause of pack not showing on the list.
