This article is about the type of downloadable content. For the removed feature in Java Edition, see Texture pack (Java Edition). For other uses, see Texture pack (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Resource pack.
A texture pack is a type of downloadable content that can be bought from the Marketplace (or the platform's storefront in Legacy Console Edition) which customizes the appearance of the game by replacing the default textures or other visual assets and sounds. They consist of resource packs which can be applied locally for the player only or for all players in a world or server.
In addition to separately available texture packs, mash-up packs come bundled with texture packs as well. Texture packs are sometimes bundled with skin packs.
Usage
Texture packs are resource packs that customize all textures up to a certain update, mostly from blocks and entities but sometimes also the UI. They can also customize other visuals such as graphics and animations, and sound effects. Gameplay does not change with a texture pack enabled.
Once downloaded, texture packs can be enabled locally for the player only in the "Global Resources" settings tab, where it will be applied to every world or server the player joins with support for global resources.
They can also be applied to worlds, Realms, or servers, where all joining players are prompted to download and activate the pack. There is a setting to make this obligatory and disable global resources.
Vibrant Visuals texture packs are variants that customize dynamic lighting configurations and PBR textures, which may not always customize the regular color textures.
