Tutorials/Loading a resource pack

These tutorials are meant to help you use texture packs in Minecraft. Texture Packs change the look of Minecraft so that blocks look different, items look different, mobs look different, etc. but they do not change the actual game play. If you don't have a texture pack here is a good place to find some

Mac OS

 * 1) Download a texture pack of your choice
 * 2) Do NOT unzip the texture pack just move the .zip file to minecraft's texture pack folder (Should be at /Users/your username/Library/Application Support/minecraft/texturepacks)
 * 3) Open up Minecraft and login
 * 4) At the main menu select "Mods and Texture Packs"
 * 5) Now select your new texture pack and then select done
 * If your texture pack doesn't show up when you click "Mods and Texture Packs" make sure that the texture pack is still in .zip format, and that it is in Minecraft's texture pack folder

HD Texture Packs
Some HD Texture Packs require a patch to work properly, if you followed the first tutorial (above) and you get an error when you try to play Minecraft you might need to patch it for your texture to work. You should only follow this tutorial if you tried the first tutorial and you are getting an error when you try to play Minecraft. (You may want to back up your saves first)
