A texture pack is an archive with game textures, where all images of Minecraft blocks and objects are stored. Each player can change this archive as he wants. In this article, we'll talk about how to install your texture pack on the Minecraft launcher.

See how the texture pack has painted the game world!

Thanks to the change, you can transform Minecraft: make it more beautiful and atmospheric, add blocks of definition and turn the pixel game into a detailed square world.

Each archive contains folders, and they contain pictures. Each image is responsible for its own block. For example, "items" stores illustrations of all the items that the player can hold in their hands: arrows, sword, food, saplings, alchemical ingredients, etc.

When you change the pictures, the texture in the Minecraft world also changes. This way you can turn the steak into, say, a remote control, and it will be visible in your inventory.

It is possible to change the following:

• all blocks and items in the game;
• pictures, doors, windows and even their color;
• all animated particles frame by frame, such as fire, smoke, portals, etc .;
• type of inventory, its color, background and shape;
• settings menu and buttons in it;
• background of the picture on the main screen;
• skin of the protagonist and all living creatures.
