showWhat is a Texture Pack?
Texture Packs alter the textures of blocks, items, and can also alter the font. Packs are user created, and the pixel size can range from 16x pixels, all the way to 512x pixels. Most texture packs can be found on the Minecraft Forum or Planet Minecraft.
Pixel Size
- 16x Pixels - This is the default pixel size. The default textures for Minecraft have 16x pixels. There are 256 pixels in all. 16x Texture Packs DO NOT require patching from MCPatcher or Optifine!
- 32x Pixels - Texture Packs that are 32x, are the lowest resolution HD texture packs. Any texture pack with a pixel size of 32x and above is considered an HD Texture Pack. There are 1024 pixels in all. 32x Texture Packs DO require patching from MCPatcher and Optifine!
- 64x Pixels - A much higher resolution than 32x and 16x. There are 4096 pixels in all. 64x Texture Packs DO require patching from MCPatcher and Optifine!
- 128x Pixels - People with laggy computers may have their Minecraft crashed if they use a 128x Texture Pack. Yet again, a much higher resolution than 64x, 32x, and 16x. There are 16,384 pixels in all. 128x Texture Packs DO require patching from MCPatcher and Optifine!
