Agreed. The sound directory tutorial points here stating it's safer to create a resource pack, but there's no information provided on how to do so. 106.70.83.197 13:22, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Tutorial mistakenly recommends MS Paint.

MS Paint should never be used for texturing because it doesn't support transparency. Therefore items can't be edited, same with transparent blocks. It's recommended to use paint.net, Photoshop or GIMP, although any photo editing software that supports transparency should be good.–Preceding unsigned comment was added by 96.50.23.154 (talk) at March 19, 2018 (UTC).

1.14 is iffy

1.14 has different texture organizing (paintings, particles, etc) so i would just use 1.13 unless you can wrap your head around 1.14. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.35.247.136 (talk) at 2:00, 21 April 2019 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

It's not that more complicated. The paintings and particles, which were originally just one-file folders, are now individual files. A new "mob_effect" folder has been added. Take a look in version.jar/assets to see the structure. – Nixinova   02:26, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

My language pack does not work

If anyone knows how these resource packs help me, it is saying that my language pack is created for an older version of MC. I have entered the pack format as 5. So idk what's the problem.

pack_format versions

I think this:

"pack_format" requires 1 in Java Edition 1.6-pre[verify]-Java Edition 1.8, 2 in 1.9 and Java Edition 1.10, 3 in Java Edition 1.11 and Java Edition 1.12, and 4 in Java Edition 1.13. (In pack format 3 and higher (1.11 and higher) all of the file names in the resource pack should have small letters only)

should be changed to this:

"pack_format" requires 1 in Java Edition 1.6-pre[verify]-Java Edition 1.8, 2 in Java Edition 1.9 and Java Edition 1.10, 3 in Java Edition 1.11 and Java Edition 1.12, and 4 in Java Edition 1.13 and Java Edition 1.14. (In pack format 3 and higher (1.11 and higher) all of the file names in the resource pack should have small letters only)

What about 1.15 and 1.16? 83.142.57.33 21:37, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Doesn't work

The pack is not showing up!

the pack isn't changing type.

I don't know why but renaming the pack to a .mcmeta isn't actually changing the file type, It's just renaming it to pack.mcmeta.txt.
