A resource pack is a collection of images and other files which determine how the game looks. Here’s an example: The bottom/right half of this image shows how this scene looks with the default textures, while the top/left half shows how it looks using my resource pack
. Resource pack creators use image painting and editing software like GIMP
or Photoshop
to digitally draw and paint these images (i. e. they mostly do not use a camera, but start with a completely white or transparent image) and thus the creators are (digital) artists. Resource packs are *not *mods. Resource packs only change the look of the game, they do not change the game mechanics, e. g. you can’t add new blocks using a resource pack.
