How do I activate and deactivate a texture pack without leaving the world? (Bedrock Edition)

Greetings, and welcome to the Xbox Community! Connect with players from around the world, get help when you need it, and share your gaming journey.

You can’t switch texture packs without leaving the world in Bedrock, it reloads everything when you join. Closest workaround is to keep two copies of the world: one with the pack for solo play, one without it for when friends join. But yeah, even then, you’d still need to reload for the pack to fully apply—no way around that part.

Some texture packs was not transfered from 360 edition to the newer Bedrock edition.

Good evening

Download a texture pack (also known as a resource pack) in a compatible format such as .mcpack or .zip from a trusted source. Make sure the pack is designed for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

Open the downloaded texture pack file. It should automatically open with Minecraft Bedrock if you have the game installed.

Minecraft Bedrock will import the texture pack and prompt you to apply it. Click the "Apply" or "Activate" button to enable the texture pack.

If the texture pack doesn't automatically open with Minecraft, you can manually import it. Copy or move the downloaded .mcpack or .zip file to the following location on your mobile device:

Android: Internal Storage/games/com.mojang/resource_packs

iOS: On iOS devices, the process requires a file management app like Documents by Readdle or iExplorer. Move the texture pack file to the "games/com.mojang/resource_packs" directory.

After moving the file, open Minecraft Bedrock and go to "Settings" > "Global Resources."

In the "My Packs" section, you should see the imported texture pack listed. Tap on it to activate it.

I bought and downloaded most of the Texture/MashUp packs on the Xbox 360, and have used them many times on the Xbox One. I bought a few on the One edition.

However, I cannot use ANY of the packs I bought and downloaded on the Better Together (what I called Bedrock) edition without repurchasing them.

My son has confirmed that he was able to redownload all available texture packs he bought on the 360 and One editions on the Better Together edition, WITHOUT repurchasing them.

I’d like to be able to use them again, without repurchasing them like my son was able to.

I only happen on bedrock version of minecraft on xbox one s . It dosen’t happen on anyother game. When i click on a world to play on it is says updating texture pack 1/2 and then updating texture pack 2/2 then it sends me to the world selection menu again.
When i click on it again or any other world, it loads for a fraction of seconds then it sends me back to the world menu. It really hope it can get fixed without me loosing my worlds or progression.
