How to: Minecraft Texture

Minecraft is a sandbox-style game that focuses on resource gathering, mining and building in randomly generated worlds comprised of blocks. Third-party texture packs are available to improve the look of the game or give it a theme, i.e. post-apocalyptic or fantasy role-playing, that better suits the kind of world the player wishes to create.
