Resource packs can significantly change the appearance and structure of the Minecraft game. There are thousands of free packs out there. Resource packs make it easy to use mods in Minecraft, and you can download and install them in a matter of minutes. If you are using old texture packs for older versions of Minecraft, then it is possible to convert them into resource packs and also download them. See Step 1 for how to do this.

Method 2 of 2: Converting Old Pack Textures
Step 1. Decide if you need to convert the packs
Texture packs for Minecraft 1.5 or earlier are not suitable for new versions of Minecraft. These packs must be converted for new versions of the game.
Step 2. Parse the texture pack
Texture packs for Minecraft 1.5 are stitched together until they are used, and the pack must be ripped open before being converted. You can do it manually, but it can take some time. Instead, download the Unstitcher program, which is designed to automate this process.
Launch Unstitcher and then download the texture pack. The strut process will begin, which will take a few minutes
Step 3. Convert the ripped pack
Once the spacer process is complete, download and run Minecraft Texture Ender. This program converts ripped texture packs into resource packs. Launch the program and download the ripped pack to start the conversion process.
Step 4. Download the pack
After the pack is converted, you can upload it to Minecraft, in the same way as any other resource pack. See the previous sections of this article for more details.
