How to Install Minecraft Skins and Texture Packs

"Minecraft" is an online computer game that allows players to create structures and objects using resources collected from mining. The textures and skins used in "Minecraft" have a distinct and simple design, but if players wish to change graphic options then they can do so. Players can download skin and texture packs to replace the default "Minecraft" settings. This allows players to greatly customize the gaming experience without altering game play.
