You you please kid and today I’m going to show you guys how to make your own custom texture pack and this tutorial isn’t going to be a full-blown you know how to make a full texture pack with different particles and everything like that it’s just going to be how you can simply Change colors and design for a beginner in texture pack making so the first thing you’re going to want to do is go to the description of this video and it download two files the first one is texture pack making file it’s a zipped up file that has what you Need to make your own texture pack in it and then the second file you don’t have to download it’s a skin template for making editing your own minecraft skin but that will actually be in a different video so you don’t have to download this one in this video I’m not going to be Focusing on that so once you download your texture pack making file you should open it up with WinRAR WinRAR is a extracting program and so that will also be in the description for the download and it says there’s a trial but it just bugs you after it doesn’t actually make You buy it so once you download that it makes it much easier you can you’re going to open it up and you’re going to see these files it will go from achievement down to terrain dot PNG usually so the first thing we’re going to do is show where you can edit the Actual physical blocks in minecraft file so it’s going to be terrain dot PNG not the terrain folder but terrain dot PNG which is a file and I’m using Photoshop you don’t have to I even have the trial and normally you wouldn’t have this here Let me just get that off so it should be pretty small other programs that you can use besides Photoshop are like paint.net which will be the download will be in the description also that’s a really good program it’s almost as good as Photoshop and includes layers and other really cool features Also and basically all you need to make a custom texture pack so open up your terrain dot PNG file and you can hit ctrl + to zoom in and pretty much so you can see the pixels eventually you’ll get a kind of grid if you’re on Photoshop Showing where the pixels are but I’m not gonna I don’t really like that when I’m doing stuff like this so you can go view show and then pixel grid it’s usually checked you can click that to uncheck it so you can zoom around to the block you Want to edit today we’re actually going to be editing the bed of all things because lots of people they don’t want to get a whole custom texture pack but they just want to make their bed nice different color so what you can do is you can zoom in on your been pretty Close not too close though because so you can still see what’s happening and what we want to do normally see wanted to change the color of the bed someone would think okay you take your pencil tool select you know your color so say they wanted to make their bed blue they Get the brush size down to one or you know however many pixels and they’d start you know painting over and then you get it it’s like oh wow that you know that sucks there’s no shading nothing so what we want to do we want to keep this nice shading that minecraft Designers have done but change our color so what we want to do is go finder tool a photoshop it’s called a rectangular marquee tool and I’ll be the first one here you won’t have to drag over so it’ll just be this one I think on paint.net it is rectangular select it Doesn’t really matters any rectangular slot tool so click on the pixel in one corner I’m going to just drag over to the other corner of the colored part of the bed make sure not to get any of the white part there so now there should be what they call a marching ants selection Around your bed and you can either hit ctrl or command for on Mac you to open up this window called hue or saturation or if you don’t want to do that make sure it’s still selected and go image adjustments hue and saturation and so now that we’re Here what we can do to change the color of our bed is move this top slider to get different colors so say you wanted a blue bed you’d have to find the blue cut area so we’d do that so that’s negative 150 or as you can see the color doesn’t Match up with this bar here so it says green and it’s purple so it’s a bit easier if it does match up what you can do is hey check the box that’s colorize and then set make sure the saturation saturation is set to 50 and your Lightness is set to zero now you can change the hue and it will match up with a sliding bar so you can do red from orange e down to a green and then back to red so you can change that back let’s do 215 and 50 so you want to remember Those colors also what saturation does if you don’t know it intensifies the color depending on what you set it to so I actually want to set that up of it which it that’s a nice color 90 and lightness as you can probably guess is the lightness of this we just want to Keep this at zero usually so yeah you’re going to want to remember these numbers so I have 215 and 90 so you can hit OK and then either hit ctrl or command if you’re on Mac D to get rid of your selection on the bed now you can make Sure you have your selection tool still active and select the other portion of the bed which is the sides and the end of the bed and you can select that colored part and hit ctrl or command you to open up human saturation again or again remember you can go to Imagine justin’s human saturation if you’d like so now you can go here you do the same thing that you had for so I’m pretty sure around this so I had this at ninety and this was 215 there we go and you can hit okay controller command D Now you have a different color bed which is great and you can do the human saturation trick on a lot of blocks or you can go in and just edit them yourselves especially with the bowl if you want to get say you’re making pixel art and you want to make a little bit Certain different colors yeah so that’s how you can edit the actual blocks now if you want to save what you’ve done you just hit file safe but I’m not going to so I’m just going to close down this picture and we can go back to our folder Here and the next thing we’re going to be trying editing is all the mobs you can help it up your mod folder there should be a lot in here in the newest version of Minecraft because they’re adding a lot of mobs lately and find what you want to edit so I’m going to Edit the zombie which is pretty much the simplest so it should be Ruby tiny and go ahead and zoom in and this is where you can change what you wanna change now sometimes when you open up files like this it will be really weird it won’t like accept the color that You’re using and over here on Photoshop it will see index and so to fix that and make it like you know I’ll just show you say even when I have a green selected it does this weird you know color and it’s the backgrounds weird what you want to Do is go image mode and make sure RGB color is selected then the macro will shrink back to small squares and it will accept your actual color so let’s make our zombies eyes read that I’m there so now zombies have red eyes and this is The body of the zombie you can put like you know blood whatever you can add it if you’re good at graphing designing you know you can do a really cool texture so I’m just going to close this down you can do that with all your mom’s signs the zombie they’re all actually arranged Quite differently like if you go into slime it’s a bit harder to edit because it’s laid out differently so you can get guides on those textures though so now we’re going to go back by double clicking the little too dot folder and we can find where we can edit our items In game so swords tools like food like apples and stuff in the game so you’d think it would be in the item folder but actually it’s not this is where you can get your like what chests look like when they’re opened that’s also in the terrain folder if you’re wondering and Seam with doors boats stuff like that but if you want the actual items what we’re actually going to go into is the GUI folder and if you’re wondering GUI is graphical user interface and so we’re going to go into this folder and this is where we another a lot of stuff I’m just Going to show you um so you want the crafting this is what it will look like when we’re doing crafting so if you’re in a rush you can just you know paint bucket the background now you have like a red crafting table area you know something like that so that’s one thing You can do in here but the main thing is the items again so you can find the file that says items dot PNG and go ahead and open that up and it should be nice and small so you can ctrl + or command + to zoom in and find your items So here my goal is to be changing the diamond axe to be a different color so there’s two ways I can do this I can take a kind of the matching colors but different so see how this is a dark kind of turquoise I can make it get a dark Red and just do this by hand you know all around and then um change it again like so these are this is like a light diamond D blue and I would do that around or I can go all the way back and I can do the hue and saturation trick Again so there’s two ways I can do this I can use my rectangular marquee tool and select all the pixels so you’d select a couple then hit hold shift to add to your selection and do that or you can find this the magic wand tool and Hold it until the two but the one box opens to the right of it drag over and then let go on the quick selection tool and your brush will be pretty big now so to decrease it you can either go here and sorry now you can hit the left Bracket the left pointy square bracket button to go all the way down you can go pretty small or you can just do one pixel but it won’t select one pixel time it’ll select the general area it’s pretty good at separating colors and lines so once you have your only colored Area selected you can go ahead and do that same thing again so ctrl or command U and change your hue and saturation and do like green or things like that when you’re doing diamond tools you actually don’t have to use the colorize option because it will start at the center Which is actually the diamond dish color so it will pretty much match up with the bar so let’s see like a green you can go ahead and change your saturation which will take out some of the shading detail let’s see you want a lot of the saturation you can turn your Lightness down and you can get different kind of colors but it’s better just to go with zero and less saturation so just change this around there so now you have a green thing and you control or command D and so you have a green X and you can Do that with other things also the only exception is when you’re doing it for armor in-game the armor will look different when you’re holding it but actually wearing it on your character and what you see on your character will actually not be what you change it here So if you you know put red lines on it that’s not what it’ll look like on your character you have to go back into another folder so I’m going to close this down and this is the last one I’m going to talk about which is armor and This is where you can get all your armor on your armor texture so I’m going to go into gold and this is where you can change what it actually looks like on your character and I don’t know the full template for this but all I do know is That this area here is the helmet area and so you can change your helmet and this area I think is the chest piece so see we’re back in that that file let me go back there and say you wanted to put an amulet on the gold armor which is a Pretty cool thing to have say you had you know like dark grey kind of as a band down here and then you got a red did a big like jewel they’re on your character so that will show up in the game when you’re holding the armor but if you want that to show Up here you have to add that here so I would take same colors that I used before I would write them down and you know do something like this and then add the amulet actually in game and so now that would show up on my character so You can close these guys down or you can save them and then the rest I’m going to leave for you guys to figure out yourself or look up on the wiki for which things do what’s you can pretty much figure it out yourself also the little icon in Minecraft when you’re Selecting your texture pack you can edit in here that’s just another thing really quick not too important that’s the logo for your texture pack pretty much so yeah thanks for watching remember to comment like and subscribe you Video Information
