Talk:Resource pack

I read through the list but did not see anything that would imply it's the sound(s) played at different times of day. I searched for and then played a couple of the vaguely-named sounds, but either they were music (too long to be the time-of-day sounds) or my computer couldn't find the files (even-though I have an extracted 1.8 resource pack on my computer that I use as a guide). Are the time-of-day sounds taken as a tidbit from some other sound? If so, which ones? I've tried just Googling this, but I don't know what to call these sounds, and all my search results have been useless so far. Or are those sounds missing from this wiki list? If so, can someone please add them? Thanks. 50.181.85.8 10:27, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Are you sure you're not using a mod? There are no sounds associated with time of day. LB^(T|C) 16:21, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Are you sure that was from Minecraft? SlimyCatMc (talk) 14:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

It is stated that the required version number will be changed, will there be any breaking changes to resource pack structure or composition? Are there any how-tos to explain migration from 1.8.x to 1.9? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.171.173.84 (talk) at 14:45, 01 October 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Almost all of the changes are related to the model format. Specifically, almost all of the display tag data has changed, a lot of old models now use the [[Model#Block states|multipart format], and models such as fishing rods and bows now use item tags for states rather than hardcoded states. Assuming you have done nothing with models, the only change really affecting you would be that clocks and compasses now use item tags to determine the frames based on time/direction, rather than an "animation".

The best spot to find help with updating would be reading the changes on model (should all be marked with ^[upcoming]), and if you have any other questions, a good place to ask would be on the [forum:mapping-and-modding/resource-packs/resource-pack-help Minecraft Forums] (around here I seem to be the only resource pack expert, and just about everything I know about this I already added to the articles). –KnightMiner ^t/_c 20:53, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

I can't find the dispenser failing sound. Where is it? I thought the most fitting was "wooden_click.ogg", but that's really just the wooden button. I can't find anything else that sounds like it belongs to dispensers. Fabian42 (talk) 18:02, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the failing sound is just the default "random.click" (successful one) but with a lower pitch. You won't be able to change its sound using a resource pack. –KnightMiner ^t/_c 19:30, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, that's it! I just overlooked it before. I now deactivated both, I don't really need the successful sound either. Fabian42 (talk) 19:36, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Converting old packs requires TWO converters, one to get it updated to 1.5 and another to get 1.5 to 1.6. You've only got the second one linked (in history under 1.6). I really think both should be linked, and probably a LOT sooner in the article. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by WildBluntHickok (talk • contribs) at 10:34, 19 May 2016‎ (UTC).

I doubt many people are still needing to convert texture packs to resource packs, though in any case since that is useful information I moved it to the texture pack article. (as the beginning is a bit more useful than the result there, and the first converter has nothing to do with resource packs anyways) –KnightMiner ^t/_c 04:19, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

wordofnotch:926969603. On August 9, 2010, Notch said that a video had convinced him he should add support for server texture/resource packs. I think it would be good to mention this, but I can't really find anywhere it would fit. Maybe on texture pack somewhere? ―HalfOfAKebab ^{(talk, contribs)} 19:36, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

I've always questioned what the seeds were and i'm sure many others have, but I'm not sure how to find it without spending my entire life checking all 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 of the possible seeds there are for the both world generations. StoneRuigi (talk) 18:48, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

👁 Image

Those images have existed for so long, they probably don't match any existing seed. The terrain generation has changed at least two times since the last time panorama changed. –KnightMiner ^t/_c 22:26, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

I mean they look like the old beta generation, it should be possible for them to exist. StoneRuigi (talk) 16:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

They found the pack.png seed! Seed: 3257840388504953787 Coordinates: x=49, z=0 Version: Alpha 1.2.2a Source: https://twitter.com/RealSalC1/status/1302217272723943424 155.4.23.102 13:55, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! I've been following that project ever since the beginning and was wondering when this would conclude! StoneRuigi (talk) 19:27, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Although, it is such a strange thing to me that people would know to contact me on a thread I made 2 years ago, unknowing if I was in a passing screenshot of one of the many videos or if people from those videos came here to see this topic. I was wrong on the two world gens and the number, however. For anyone passing by and wondering, the title screen seed is 2151901553968352745; coordinates at X=61, Y=75, Z=-68; on version Alpha 1.2.2a. StoneRuigi (talk) 07:51, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Correction, it was generated either on Beta 1.6.6 or Beta 1.7. --NicknineTheEagle (talk) 11:29, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Can someone please give me a tutorial video or instructions on how to use resource packs on my Windows 10? I want to turn the beautiful end poem about playing Minecraft and multiple plains of reality into me and a friend talking about how annoying the player is. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.231.164.83 (talk) at 2:29, 17 July 2018 (UTC).

You are better off asking on the forums for something so specific. This article explains in general how resource packs work and the structure, so you should be able to find the needed information there, but if not the forums can give additional help. –KnightMiner ^t/_c 22:13, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

What is the difference between the resource pack selection screen in 1.14 and before? The two people who attached the two images just had a different GUI screen and the old one of course doesn't contain "programmer art". But what else? If it's just the "programmer art", there shouldn't be a "before" image, everything in that image would also be contained in the "after" image. Fabian42 (talk) 09:46, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

The folder structure here sucks. Do you expect me to read all these lines? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.148.115.47 (talk) at 13:46, 02 September 2019 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Can you make the folder structure better? I don't want to read all these lines. You should have put proper folder structure (expand/shrink folders).

91.148.98.46 09:10, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

width says "The width of the tile, as a direct ratio rather than in pixels." height says "The height of the tile in direct pixels, as a ratio rather than in pixels." This is confusing as I don't know what the ratio is a ratio to, or the difference between a "direct pixel", which seems to be a ratio as well, and a pixel.

I checked the minecraft code and I tested this in-game: That description is straight-up wrong, at least for 1.21.1 . Creating a resource pack that changes command_block_side.png.mcmeta from

:{
:"animation":{
:"interpolate":true,
:"frametime":10
:}
:}

to

:{
:"animation":{
:"interpolate":true,
:"frametime":10,
:"width":8,
:"height":32
:}
:}

and loading it results in 4 frames, each 8px*32px, and not 512 frames, each 2px*2px (as the description would suggest).

(Oh, and the minecraft code suggests this as well: the fallback for width if height exists is the image's width, and the same thing the other way around; the length of the default frame list is calculated as (imageWidth / dimensions.width()) * (imageHeight / dimensions.height()), etc.)

I'm going to edit the page, and if I'm mistaken, feel free to undo. Vitphire (talk) 00:29, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

• I myself get confused by the description, as this is the first time for me working with a resource pack and textures that are larger than the usual 16x16. The "ratio" thing only confuses me, as I have no idea what f.e. the ratio would be on a 16x34 frame... Some example or clarification would help. {{SUBST:ERS:Benutzer:Andre_601/signatur}} 11:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

The section "Folder structure" currently also contains the folder structure for datapacks. Can that please be moved to the correct article? I don't want to mess something up with these foldable sections, that's why I'm not doing it myself. Fabian42 (talk) 09:01, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

I tried to add the JSON structure for the shader files, and while I was mostly able to figure out the stuff, I still had no idea what the "blend" thing does so I just took a guess. If any experts are here, please feel free to correct it if I was wrong. Ramislicer (talk) 15:03, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

SirBenet's shader guide kind of has all the information you need about that part. --Kappascopezz (talk) 10:46, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

The section Fonts#Shadows says there is a Chat Shadows option, however I cannot find it in the menus nor in options.txt in both 1.16 and 1.17 snapshots. Theres no mention of shadow in the lang file either besides entity shadow. Am I missing something? CycloNMC (talk) 17:51, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Since 1.20.2 can resource and data packs have a supported_formats option to define multiple pack versions they support.
This should probably be added to the list of options in the pack.mcmeta. Tho I'm not sure what the entry should look like, as it supports multiple options:

• 16
• [16, 17]
• {"min_inclusive": 16, "max_inclusive": 17}

I'm fully aware that it's not even in the Java Edition yet, only just added to Bedrock Edition 1.21.0.21, but seeing that the Unpacked painting is an obvious reference to pack.png, would it be worth it to add it under Trivia with an "upcoming" tag? RustCurve164933 (talk) 08:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Probably in the paintings section SlimyCatMc (talk) 14:33, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

I think it's been added to the have by now. I don't know. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:34, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

The entire trivia and half the gallery is about that, it probably could be expanded upon too. Not sure if it's notable enough though. Grzesiek11 (talk) 01:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

There was a heavy increase in resource pack format numbers starting with 1.20.2. Is there any easy way of finding out what changes were made? Sometimes the minecraft.net articles don't list these changes, and it's hard to know when a change was actually made until a resource pack breaks. For example, I just found out the armor textures were moved from "textures/models/armor" to "textures/entity/equipment/humanoid" during 1.21.3/4.

If the changes are known and are listed in the respective snapshot changes, should they be included in the "history" section of the main Resource Pack page? Gameo7 (talk) 20:58, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Update: looking at the Data Pack page, maybe a "Significant/breaking changes" section for version numbers would help? Gameo7 (talk) 20:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I cannot recall when it was added and can't also find any noteworthy entry in the wiki here that would mention it (mainly because I also don't know what search term I should try). Andre 601 (talk) 22:25, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Is there a reason that the list here ends at 1.21.6? 81.111.185.44 20:53, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
