Resource Pack - Minecraft Wiki

== Resource Packs ==
A Resource Pack is very similar to a [[Texture Pack]], but also contains [[sounds]], [[music]], [[language files]], [[end credits]], [[splashes]], and [[fonts]]. It is used in Minecraft 1.6 and newer, and is not compatible with earlier versions. For 1.5 and older you must use [[Texture Packs]].
=== Creating Resource Packs ===
Creating resource packs is much more difficult than creating [[Texture Packs|texture packs]], because in [[Texture Packs|texture packs]], all you need is [[terrain.png]], whereas in resource packs, you need to create [[pack.mcmeta]], [[pack.png]], an entire folder called [[assets]], and icons for each individual thing.
However, there are many more possibilities to resource packs than there are to [[Texture Packs|texture packs]].
=== Installing Texture Packs ===

# Go to resourcepacks, and copy file there.
