Help with downloading Minecraft texture packs on ps4.

Hi BentWind1842041

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums! I'd be happy to help.

This is a bug that Mojang has been working on since the Bedrock version was released for PS4 but has not provided any official response or solutions. There are a few things to try and solve this issue.

First, make sure that your Microsoft account has a Gamertag by logging in to http://account.xbox.com/ or the Xbox app. Then, I would recommend reinstalling the game on your PS4 system.
That should force the game to make you login again.

I've also seen that downloading a free texture pack and then activating it from the in-game Minecraft Store should help force the sign in. In the Minecraft Store, go to Texture Packs then Texture Packs by Minecraft and look for "Minecraft texture Update
Beta". Download that pack and activate it. If it doesn't work, try downloading and activating another free pack.

Give that a try and let us know the results!

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

Good evening

The reason for this is that Minecraft texture packs are usually downloaded as .zip or .rar files, not .jar files. It's possible that the file you downloaded is not actually a texture pack, or that it was downloaded incorrectly.

To open a Minecraft texture pack in the Java edition, you should follow these steps:

Download the texture pack from a trusted website, such as the official Minecraft website or a reputable modding website.

Once the file has downloaded, open the Minecraft launcher and click on "Options" and then "Resource Packs".

Click on "Open Resource Pack Folder". This will open the folder where your Minecraft resource packs are stored.

Move the downloaded texture pack file into the folder.

In the Minecraft launcher, click on "Done" and then go back to the "Resource Packs" section.

You should now see the new texture pack in the list of available resource packs. Click on it to select it, and then click "Done".

The texture pack should now be applied to your game.

On minecraft there will be a thing called the “Minecraft store” go to the mincraft store and search up “Texture Update pack” it will be free once you download it you can play cross platforms, servers arent up yet for PS4
