    A resource pack editor that runs in your browser

    It opens the game's own textures, models and sounds for the version you choose, and exports a standard pack .zip. It's free and there's no account; your packs are saved in the browser.

    01 · Unfold

    A block is six 16×16 textures

    A grass block uses three files: a top, a side and dirt for the bottom. In the editor you search for a texture by name and it opens with the game's pixels.

    02 · Recolour

    Recolour

    Colour replace changes the hue and keeps each pixel's brightness, so the shading survives. Pick a palette to apply it here.

    03 · Paint

    Edit pixels by hand

    There are 18 painting tools. The shade brush shifts hue slightly as it darkens, like hand-shaded textures. The 3D view beside the canvas updates while you draw.

    04 · Layer

    Layers

    The overlay here is on its own layer above the grass, so it can be hidden, moved or blended on its own. Layers are merged into one image when you export.

    05 · Animate

    Auto Animate

    Choose an effect and the frames are generated from the texture. There are 92 effects in 8 categories, and the same settings and seed always give the same frames.

    06 · Export

    Export

    The export is a normal pack: pack.mcmeta, textures at their vanilla paths, and a .mcmeta beside each animated one. Put the .zip in resourcepacks and enable it under Options, Resource Packs.

    Try it on this page

    A small version of the editor. You paint one 16×16 texture, which is shown on all six faces of the block, and can run the same Auto Animate effects over it. Your drawing is saved in this browser.

    Compared with a general image editor

    An image editor can make the PNG files. A resource pack involves a few other jobs as well.

    How it works

    1. 1Pick a version

      Choose the release you play. Your browser downloads that version's textures, models and sounds; MineTexture doesn't host any game files.

    2. 2Edit

      Paint textures, build models, replace sounds or change game text. Your work is autosaved in the browser.

    3. 3Check

      Compare your textures with vanilla side by side, and fix anything the problem list reports.

    4. 4Export

      Save the .zip to your resourcepacks folder and enable it under Options, Resource Packs.

    Questions

    Is MineTexture free?

    Yes. It runs in the browser, and there is no account or paid version.

    How do I make a Minecraft texture pack online for free?

    Open the MineTexture editor, click Create Pack (or pick a starter template) and choose your Minecraft version. Click any vanilla texture to paint over it, then click Export to download a .zip that goes in your resourcepacks folder. There is nothing to install and no account.

    Which Minecraft versions does it support?

    Java Edition, from 1.19 to the latest release. You pick a version when you create a pack and MineTexture loads that version's textures, models and sounds and writes the matching pack format.

    Does it work with Bedrock Edition?

    No. MineTexture writes Java Edition resource packs only. Bedrock uses a different pack format.

    How do I put the pack in my game?

    Export the .zip, move it into the resourcepacks folder of your Minecraft directory, then turn it on in Options, Resource Packs.

    Can I edit a pack I already have?

    Yes. Open any resource pack .zip or a MineTexture .mtproj project, or drop in a Blockbench .bbmodel to import a model.

    Where are my packs stored?

    In your browser's storage on your device. Nothing leaves your device unless you share it in a room. MineTexture sends only anonymous usage counts, described on the privacy page.

    Can I work on a pack with friends?

    Yes. Start a room and share its 8-character code. Everyone in the room edits the same pack and sees each other's cursors; the pack travels directly between browsers. More about rooms.

    Can I turn a photo or drawing into a texture?

    Yes. The image to pixel art page shrinks any picture to 16×16, 32×32 or 64×64 with a set number of colours, then you download it or paste it into the editor. It runs in your browser, so the picture is never uploaded.

    Can it make animated textures and CustomModelData items?

    Yes. Paint frames by hand or let Auto Animate generate them from 92 effects; the frame strip and its .mcmeta are written for you. Item rules switch an item's texture or model by where it is shown, its name, its wear, a held key or a custom model data number.

    Can I use my pack commercially or on a server?

    MineTexture puts no limits on what you make, and your own artwork is yours. Anything that uses Minecraft's textures, models or sounds also falls under Mojang's EULA and usage guidelines, which cover selling packs and using them on servers, so read those before you charge for a pack or for access to one. To use a pack on your own server, host the exported .zip and set it as the server resource pack in server.properties. If you don't have a server yet, Cherry Hosting runs Minecraft servers and helps keep MineTexture free.
