How to Use Resource Packs on Minecraft Bedrock
Minecraft Bedrock for PC allows players to utilize custom Resource Packs to modify the appearance of their game. However, Bedrock Edition for consoles does not support this feature. While there are some workarounds, these generally require the use of additional software. Here is a rundown of how to use Resource Packs on Minecraft Bedrock for PC:
- Download a compatible Resource Pack. The required file type for Minecraft Bedrock is a.mcpak file.
- Open Minecraft and then double-click the.mcpak file to begin importing the Resource Pack.
- Once imported, head to 'Settings', scroll down to 'Global Resources', and select 'My Packs'.
- Click on the Resource Pack you just imported and select 'Activate'.
Once done, your Resource Pack will be activated in-game. If you want to deactivate the Resource Pack, simply head back to 'Global Resources' and select 'Active'. From here, click on any Resource Pack and select 'Deactivate' to unapply it.
It’s also worth noting that Resource Packs work from bottom to top, so if two applied packs change the appearance of an asset, the higher pack will overwrite the lower one. Multiple packs can also be used simultaneously without issue, though some may clash if they overwrite the same assets.
How to Use Resource Packs on Minecraft Java
Resource Packs on Minecraft Java are a little more straightforward than Bedrock, with many Resource Packs being created specifically for this version of Minecraft. However, when downloading your desired packs, be sure to check that the one you are downloading is the latest version. While packs designed for older versions can often work with the current version of Java without an issue, they can sometimes clash with recent updates. Here is a rundown of how to use Resource Packs on Minecraft Java:
- Download a compatible Resource Pack. These are typically.zip files.
- Open Minecraft Java Edition and select 'Options'.
- Select 'Resource Packs'.
- From here, drag in the.zip file and select Yes when asked to import the Resource Pack.
- To enable the Resource Pack, hover over it under 'Available' and hit the arrow icon (do the same under 'Selected' to disable it).
Just like in Minecraft Bedrock, multiple Resource Packs in Java Edition can be used at the same time. However, if certain packs overwrite the same assets, there can be some clashes, with the newer pack overwriting the previous one.
