An online tool which allows you to make full resource packs completely in the browser! Browse every single vanilla Minecraft texture and sound, neatly grouped into categories like Blocks, Items, Entity, GUI, Particles, and more. Edit any texture in the built-in pixel editor. No account needed, no ads, no limits, and no paid tiers. Create animations, random textures, face overrides, display size scaling, edit the splash texts, record or import sounds and assign them to in-game sounds, and you can even preview your finished block in 3D! Exports to a ready-made .zip pack.
PackCrafter is one of the easiest browser-based Minecraft resource pack editors to get started with. Unlike editors that expose every control at once, PackCrafter launches in Beginner mode, which hides advanced options and shows only the essential tools, so the interface is clean and immediately usable with no learning curve. Browse textures, pick one, and start painting. No setup, no installation, no account required. This makes PackCrafter perfect for quick edits too, not just full pack projects. PackCrafter is the only browser Minecraft pack editor with a built-in progressive UI system: three levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) that you switch between with a single click as you grow. No other browser pack editor matches this for guided onboarding. On top of that, PackCrafter has more beginner support resources than any comparable tool: full written documentation covering every feature, 6 step-by-step video tutorials covering the most common tasks from first edit to animations and custom sounds, and a context-sensitive hint bar permanently visible at the bottom of the canvas that shows every control and shortcut for whichever tool is active, so you never have to memorize anything or dig through menus.
Full documentation is available on the website covering every feature in detail. There are also 6 step-by-step video tutorials: getting started with PackCrafter, how to create a random texture variant, how to create an animated texture using the animated totem as an example, how to scale, rotate or move items held in hand, in the GUI or on the ground using display transforms, how to create texture face overrides, and how to add your own custom sounds. Every tool has a fully customizable keyboard shortcut. Each keybind can be set to either click mode, where pressing the key toggles the tool on, or hold mode, where the tool is only active while the key is held down and reverts to the previous tool on release. A context-sensitive hint bar sits at the bottom of the canvas at all times and shows every control and shortcut for whichever tool is currently active, so you never have to guess.
The in-game pack description supports full Minecraft text formatting codes. You can color individual words or sections using codes like §2 for green, §a for bright green, §c for red, §6 for gold, §f for white, and more. A built-in color picker toolbar lets you apply these codes with a single click and previews the colored result live so you can see exactly what it will look like in-game.
PackCrafter has more drawing tools than any other browser-based Minecraft texture editor, with 16 in total: Pencil, Eraser, Fill, Picker, Line, Circle, Rect, Gradient, Blur, Jumble, Select, Replace, Text, Noise, Symmetry, and Curve. Each tool has adjustable brush size and shape. The Select tool supports rectangular, oval, and freehand brush selection modes. Hold Alt to subtract from a selection, double-click to lift the selection as a floating layer you can move and transform, then apply it back. The Replace tool lets you remap any color or color range to a new color with adjustable tolerance, perfect for recoloring textures entirely, like turning a diamond pickaxe into a ruby pickaxe by replacing the blue tones with red. The Symmetry tool lets you place mirror axes at any angle snapping to 22.5 degrees so every stroke is reflected live. The Curve tool lets you place control points and stamp a smooth spline onto the canvas.
Unlike other browser Minecraft pack editors, PackCrafter supports multiple layers per texture with per-layer opacity and blend modes including Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Add, and Difference. Full undo and redo history. You can import any image file onto the canvas as a floating layer to trace or place over your work, or use Place Image to stamp a resized copy directly onto the active layer. Export the current canvas as a PNG at any time. The canvas has a toggleable pixel grid, subgrid, and underlay mode which shows the previous animation frame beneath your current one for onion-skinning.
Color palettes are fully supported. Create named palettes, reorder and remove colors, and import palette files in .pal, .gpl, .act, and .txt formats. The pack icon is a separate 64x64 canvas you can draw on using the same full tool suite, or import any image as the icon. The hint bar at the bottom of the canvas is a context-sensitive display showing all controls and shortcuts for the currently active tool, live.
Animated textures are supported with a frame strip editor. Add and duplicate frames, set per-animation frametime, and preview playback with play and pause. Exports the correct .mcmeta sidecar file automatically so Minecraft animates the texture in-game. PackCrafter is the only browser Minecraft pack editor that supports random texture variants: assign multiple textures to a block face so Minecraft picks one per block position, reducing repetition. PackCrafter is also the only browser pack editor with face overrides, letting you paint a unique texture onto specific block faces while keeping other sides vanilla. PackCrafter is the only browser Minecraft pack editor with display transforms, letting you control exactly how item models are positioned, rotated, and scaled in hand, inventory, on the ground, and more, with per-axis sliders for scale, translation, and rotation in every rendering context.
The Merge Pack feature lets you combine textures from two packs into one. When the same texture exists in both packs you can pick which version to keep, conflict by conflict or all at once. PackCrafter is the only browser Minecraft resource pack editor where you can record sounds directly from your microphone. The sound editor lets you replace any in-game Minecraft sound event. Upload .ogg or .mp3, or record directly from your microphone in the browser. Waveform view, trim handles, volume and pitch range controls, exports sounds.json automatically. Splash texts shown on the Minecraft main menu can be searched, added, removed, and previewed live.
Packs can be saved and shared as a .packcrafter file which preserves everything: all layers, random variants, face overrides, display transforms, sounds, splash texts, icon, and all metadata. Unlike a plain .zip export, this format preserves your full editing state so nothing is lost, something no other browser pack editor offers. Import it on any device or share it with a friend and they get a perfect 1:1 copy of your pack. You can also export a finished .zip at any time which is ready to drop straight into Minecraft.
PackCrafter is the only browser-based Minecraft resource pack editor with real-time multiplayer collaboration. Real-time peer-to-peer multiplayer lets you collaborate on textures with others live. See each other's cursor positions on the canvas and watch changes appear in real time. Fully peer-to-peer via WebRTC with no server in the middle. The 3D block preview shows your textures applied to a live block with all six faces and correct face brightness. Click any face to jump straight to that texture.

PackCrafter is focused on block and item textures, not a replacement for every tool in the Minecraft modding ecosystem. If you want to edit player skins or retexture mobs and entities, we recommend using Blockbench, which is purpose-built for that and has excellent UV mapping and model editing support. You can design your textures there, export them as a PNG, then in PackCrafter select the mob texture you want to replace, click Import and choose Import Texture to drop your PNG straight onto that texture.
