you confirm your selection, and you simply pick the one you want. Like skins, you can also
purchase extra texture packs if you wish for pretty cheap ($1).
Where to Get Resource/Texture Packs
Resource/texture packs for the PC and Mac can also be found online, again at sites like
Planet Minecraft,
resourcepack.net
,
MinecraftTexturePacks.net
and Curse's Minecraft Tex-
ture Packs page. The Minecraft Forum is perhaps the best place to get packs, as you'll see
players upload them and update very frequently, and it provides a great place for other play-
ers to post pictures of their worlds with the packs turned on and discuss them.
Making Your Own Resource Packs
This is also totally possible, though it is much, much more intensive than creating a Mine-
craft skin. Again, there are a wide variety of programs out there to help you out with this,
and using Google to find the Minecraft Wiki's Resource Pack Creators page is your best
bet. Successfully creating a resource pack is a pretty big undertaking however, as you'll
need to think carefully about how every texture you create will look in your world and to-
gether with the textures of other blocks. We'd suggest using YouTube to get some tutorials
on the specific program you choose, which should help tremendously.
