Where do Minecraft texture packs go on OS X?

I poked around and discovered a new folder:

~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/texturepacks/

Putting the texture packs you download in this folder makes them appear in the menu. Don't extract the files, just leave the .zip there.


Previous to this update, you would put Minecraft.app into a folder called "Minecraft" along with all the files for the texture pack, and launch Minecraft.app from there. However, I don't know if this is still the case with this version.

(The button also doesn't do anything for me.)


How to install Minecraft texture packs - Mac OS:

  1. Open finder.
  2. On the top of the screen click "Go"
  3. There will be a list of items drop down.
  4. Hold down the alt / Option Key.
  5. There should be a "Library" button that appears.
  6. Click on "Library" and hold down alt / Option Key.
  7. Open the "Application Support" Folder
  8. Then open the "Minecraft" Folder.
  9. Then open the "Resourcepacks" Folder.
  10. Put your Minecraft TexturePack in there.

That is where to put the texture pack in.
