Minecraft texture packs not loading

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.

Hey Guys,

I had the same problem with my savegames. I found a workaround that helped me to solve it:

1. delete the local savegames from your HDD

2. uninstall Minecraft and all texture packs

3. clean the xbox cache (hardreset)

4. install minecraft and all texture packs

Now you should be able to load your savegames.

Hi, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

To fix this, kindly perform an extended powercycle and reset your network hardware by following the steps below:

1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

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.

Hi there, and thank you for reaching out. My name is Aileen, and I am an Independent Advisor here to give you guidance. Before we begin, could you let me know if you're using the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft on your PS5?

From what you’ve described, it sounds like your behavior pack (animations) is loading, but the resource pack (textures) isn’t applying properly when re-enabled. This is a common hiccup when switching packs around—especially on console where file handling is more limited.

Here are a few things you can try to get both the animations and texture pack working together again:

1. Double-check the order of your packs. In Minecraft’s world settings (before loading into the world):

Go to Add-Ons > Resource Packs

Make sure both the animation and texture packs are active

If both are there, try moving the texture pack to the top of the list

This can force Minecraft to prioritize the textures over the base ones.

2. Check for pack dependencies. Some texture packs depend on specific behavior packs or must be activated together in a certain order.

If “actions and stuff” is a combined pack, it may need to be applied as a bundle—not separately. Try:

Removing both packs completely from the world

Re-adding them by first activating the resource pack, then the behavior pack

3. Try creating a new test world. Sometimes an old world can bug out and refuse to apply packs even when they’re enabled.

Create a new world

Activate both the animation and texture pack from scratch

See if both work in the new environment

If it works there, your old world might have a corrupt pack reference.

4. Pack limitations on PlayStation. Some third-party packs or custom bundles aren’t fully supported or might partially fail on PlayStation, even if animations load. If this is a marketplace pack, it should work—but if it’s a custom or imported one, console limits may block parts of it.

Let me know if it’s from the Minecraft Marketplace or something manually imported via another method.

Once I know more about the version and where you got the pack, I can help narrow it down even more.
