Resource packs

Resource packs change textures, sounds and models without touching how the game behaves. They are tied to a pack format number rather than to a loader, so one pack often spans several Minecraft versions.

This catalogue tracks 48,563 resource packs, each with version compatibility and a direct link to the author's own download.

About Minecraft resource packs

How do I install a resource pack?

Download the pack and put it in your .minecraft/resourcepacks folder, then enable it in Options > Resource Packs. No mod loader is needed.

Can you use resource packs on servers?

Yes. A server can prompt every player to load a resource pack when they join. The pack runs on the client, but the server decides which one to use.

What is the difference between a resource pack and a shader pack?

A resource pack replaces textures, sounds and models. A shader pack replaces how the game draws light and shadow, and needs a shader loader like Iris or OptiFine on top.

What is a Minecraft resource pack?

A resource pack replaces the textures, sounds, models and language files the game ships with. It changes nothing about the rules, so it is safe on a vanilla server.

How do I find resource packs that work on my Minecraft version?

Use the Minecraft version filter at the top of the page. Everything listed under a version declares support for it, so you get the list that will actually load rather than everything that happens to mention the version somewhere in its description.

Where do the downloads come from?

Every resource pack links to its author's own release. MCReference is a reference to what exists and where the official download is; nothing here is mirrored, re-hosted or repackaged.
