Texture Pack’s Do Not Work Anymore - Minecraft 13w22a (Minecraft 1.6)

Posted in minecraft

Minecraft 13w22a is another of the 'breaking changes' snapshots for Minecraft. From now on, all Texture Packs will not work unless they're in the new Resource Pack format. These Resource Packs are neat little containers for textures, sounds, fonts etc. So if you're wondering why your Texture Pack just stopped working, it's because they're not supported anymore in Minecraft 1.6!

Update: 13w22a does not include the Resource Packs. They're included in 13w24a.

How can you make Texture Packs work again?

Simple, you download the new 'unstitcher' tool from Nathan and convert your texture packs to the new Resource Pack format. Going forward, texture pack designers will need to convert their packs to Resource Packs and create any new textures in the new format.

Why have Mojang removed Texture Pack support?

You might remember a thing called the Mod API which was mentioned months and months ago? Well apparently, we're getting closer to the API and these changes are part of it. However, we've heard that one before so just take this as another thing you'll need to do to keep using your texture packs..it's not that big a problem with the 'unstitcher' program though.
