Itsme64 – FIX: Incompatible – Made For An Older Version Of Minecraft (Tutorial) Texture Pack

When I try and enable this pack it says incompatible made for an older version of Minecraft and today I’m going to show you exactly how you can fix this and how you can make your Packs work for whatever version you want yeah um that’s basically it it’s pretty

Simple so follow along anyways the first thing you want to do um to you know start right off doing this is just open up your pack folder over here or well you can if you want in my case I’ve just emptied mine so it’s really easy for you guys to see and

You’ll see that I only have one pack in here and that’s the pack that isn’t working it’s my it’s smooth texture pack texture pack I’m working on I’ll link it in the description if you want to check it out anyways I’m just gonna take this out of there

Um and you’ll see it disappears because you know we gotta change some things to it and then we can re-import it and then it’s gonna work real nice so yeah that’s going to be good isn’t it anyways the first thing that you want to do once you

Have just your texture pack I recommend that your desktop um you can right click on it and then click on the extract all option over here yeah if you don’t have that as an option which might be the case if you have a different Os or something like that then

Um you’ll need to download a program called 7-Zip or WinRAR which I will link in the description too um you will need to download a program like that and the only thing they’re going to do is just allow you to do whatever I’m doing right here yeah then

You can just click on extract a second time and you’ll see what we get here is a folder so this is a dot zip file and this is the texture pack we can just move that to the recycle bin actually we don’t need it anymore this is a regular

File folder yeah which makes it really easy to access and you can edit everything inside once you open it up you should see a few of the things here maybe not everything that’s fine um something you will have though is this pack.mic meta file over here

This packed on me better yeah and that’s what we’re going to be focusing on that’s the thing that we want to edit so to edit it we can obviously just open it up right here and I’m actually opening this up with a program called Notepad plus plus it’s

Free you can download it from online or from the Microsoft store if you want to um that’ll probably make it easier for you because it’ll make everything look exactly as it does here otherwise you can also open it up with a literally probably any text editor out there you

Can open it up with notepad you can open it up with um word maybe I’m not sure if it works a word you can try um if you are having troubles opening it something you might want to do is right click on this go to open with and then

Select another app and then you can select apps like notepad if you want to anyways I’m just going to keep using notepad plus plus because it’s convenient for me to use yeah and now we need to update the pack basically to make it work for whatever version you want it to work yeah

And now to do that you actually want to go to the top Link in the description yeah I made it the top link for you guys and that’s going to bring you to this page right over here it’s the Minecraft Wiki fandom you know that stuff um and

Pack format you might recognize that it says pack format as well somewhere in your pack dot mcmeta file yeah and now this is what we want yeah you don’t want to scroll down past this point um so the data pack part you don’t need to look at that whatsoever you can ignore that

This is exactly what we want to look at yeah so the pack format it’s a number basically yeah or a value same thing yeah and depending on the version of Minecraft you’re on or you want to make your texture pack for this value is going to shift and change and be you

Know stuff like that basic basically yeah um and you can you can see the the values here so if you want to make your pack for 1.19.4 which at the time of recording this video is the most recent um version you want to make sure that

Your pack format is 13. if you want to make it for 1.19.3 12 one at 19 to 1 at 19.2 it’s 9. if you want to make your pack for work for 1.17 to 1.17.1 seven yeah basically that stuff um anyways I recommend just putting it

At the most recent version that way you will stop getting the error you just had as I said in my case it is 13 maybe if 1.19.5 is out or 1.20 is out at the time of you watching this video it might be 14 or 15 or 16 I don’t know we’ll have

To see but in my case it’s 13. so we’re back in the pack.mc meta file yeah basically I remembered that the pack format I wanted was 13. so I’m going to change my 12. right over to 13. yeah that’s exactly basically just all you want to do

Um and now there’s one thing you really really need to watch out for and that is watch this you see this comma over here if I accidentally remove that yeah the entire Pack’s not going to work it’s not even going to show up in Minecraft which would be really annoying so you

Want to make sure to leave stuff like that comma there this goes for everything you know the quotation marks stuff like that basically all of it um so make sure to not accidentally touch anything else because it’s kind of annoying to troubleshoot so basically

I’ve got that to 13 so I can press Ctrl s to save this or go over to file and save it from there once you’ve done that you can just close that and now we’re going to just want to reverse the step we did earlier so we’re able to import this again

To do that hit Ctrl a to select all the files or just select them like this then what you can do is right click on them and then compress them to a zip file now once again you might need a program like 7-Zip to be able to do that

Anyways just click on that and then you’ll get the zip file right over here you can call this whatever you want I’ll call it it’s move because that’s the name of the pack and then 1.19.4 because that’s the Minecraft version I’m making that for you know I like to call it that anyways

Now that you have your pack you can basically throw this away you probably won’t need it of course you don’t have to but you can if you want I’ve launched Minecraft one at 19.4 which is the version I made this pack for right obvious anyways I’m giving it

In tabbed mode because it’s easier to import texture packs that way you can go over to options or resource packs and then open up your pack folder real fast mine is now empty but it won’t be anymore now and look at that it’s smooth one at 19.4.zip this is no longer red

This is now the exact color you want it to be and that’s perfect we can click on this Arrow over here that’ll just perfectly enable the pack and everything is going to work just fine anyways once again if you want to check out my texture packs I don’t just make

The it’s smooth texture pack I’ve got a ton of them then those will be linked in the description if you have any questions make sure to go down there as well and ask someone in the comments because I’ll be sure to answer them um but you know for the rest that’s it

Thank you ever so much for watching and I hope to see you again in the next one bye-bye
